if a tree falls in the forest. and no one is around to hear it. does it still make a sound ?
well, we only have a couple days left to go. i feel like we just got here… and already i’m deciding what i should pack up and take home (vs. what i’m going to trash and pretend i don’t care about). we’ve been living in a “band house” out here… all 5 of us, plus salty Brandon. it’s a modest but reasonably comfortable place. i tried to make it cozy. a candle here, a poster there. i never got around to actually haaanging the poster but it sits decoratively on my dresser. i hardly packed any clothes. i guess i knew i would shop… and i did, a little. like i needed any more tshirts! all in all, packing won’t be hard, so maybe i can put off thinking about that ’til the morning we fly out. that’s what i usually do anyways.
today was the start of all the press for the new record. what a wake-up call! it’s been a while since we’ve done real press and had people really drilling us… i have to say it was kind of fun talking about the new songs… but i don’t think we’ll ever get completely used to it. all in all, having to answer questions about the lyrics, the energy, the entire process in general, was a good way to get even more comfortable with the record we made. oh and another thing, i only had to answer one question about my hair the whole time. score.
so about these songs. what can i say? i’m stoked! i can’t wait for people to hear what we’ve done. like it or not, i’m prouder than ever. mostly because i don’t believe it happened. we made a record that is exactly what we set out to make. there’s fast, there’s slow, and in-between… happy, angry, desperate and over it. and i can’t believe it’s real.
when i started writing for the album, i was really nervous about my role and what my opinions were worth now-a-days. i figured, who is going to care what i have to say? we had a pretty successful record, we tour in a bus, buddy-up with mtv, and we recorded for the twilight soundtrack… no one wants to hear me whine. especially now! but hey, i still have a lot to say. i’m still capable of getting hurt… and capable of hurting other people… i’m still human, so i have to get it all out. i ignored the insecurities and then all the sudden, the songs were done. then, i found myself looking back on the beginning of this process as if it never existed. like the songs were just there the whole time.
most of the songs you’ll hear have to do with friendship. in fact, this is the first paramore album that wasn’t written mostly about love relationships. i have made a lot of friends and i’ve lost a lot of friends over the past couple years… and it’s all gonna be there for you to dissect. i think, too, that the past couple years were some of the first times in a while that i’ve felt the burn of other people’s ignorance… a lack of patience and a quickness to judge. it forced me to “grow up” and realize what’s real. who’s worth the pain and who’s not. i’m most proud of these lyrics because they were the healer. a couple of these songs and their lyrics acted like some kind of therapist… forcing our band to talk out the true issues we’ve dealt with.. both as a band and personally. i owe a lot to these songs! of course, i’m nervous about putting it all out there on the table… but what else is there to do!? i’m just as excited to hear people’s thoughts.
i gotta get to bed. more posts later!

At the 1994 annual awards dinner given by the American Association for Forensic Sciences, AAFS President Don Harper Mills astounded his audience in San Diego with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story…
On March 23 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a gunshot wound of the head caused by a shotgun. Investigation to that point had revealed that the decedent had jumped from the top of a ten story building with the intent to commit suicide. (He left a note indicating his despondency.) As he passed the 9th floor on the way down, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast through a window, killing him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the decedent was aware that a safety net had been erected at the 8th floor level to protect some window washers, and that the decedent would not have been able to complete his intent to commit suicide because of this…
Ordinarily a person who starts into motion the events with a suicide intent ultimately commits suicide even though the mechanism might be not what he intended. That he was shot on the way to certain death nine stories below probably would not change his mode of death from suicide to homicide, but the fact that his suicide intent would not have been achieved under any circumstance caused the medical examiner to feel that he had homicide on his hands…
Further investigation led to the discovery that the room on the 9th floor from whence the shotgun blast emanated was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. He was threatening her with the shotgun because of an interspousal spat and became so upset that he could not hold the shotgun straight. Therefore, when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went through the window, striking the decedent.
When one intends to kill subject A, but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B. The old man was confronted with this conclusion, but both he and his wife were adamant in stating that neither knew that the shotgun was loaded. It was the longtime habit of the old man to threaten his wife with an unloaded shotgun. He had no intent to murder her; therefore, the killing of the decedent appeared then to be accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded…
But further investigation turned up a witness that their son was seen loading the shotgun approximately six weeks prior to the fatal accident. That investigation showed that the mother (the old lady) had cut off her son’s financial support, and her son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that the father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus…
Further investigation revealed that the son became increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to get his mother murdered. This led him to jump off the ten story building on March 23, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a 9th story window.
The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.
OH MY GOD
i have heard this before somewhere… i love it, fascinating.
I love the story, although it’s fake. Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble.
