On listening to depressing music

I listen to some depressing music. For example, I listen to Elliot Smith who is unmistakably depressed in fact he killed himself. I have heard a few people who say this affects ones mood adversely. I feel happy when I listen to Elliot Smith though mellow maybe even a bit contentment. Some of my favorite times of the week is when I can put on a good Elliot Smith CD and take a long nap. This relaxes me, so screw all of you who think it bad. I am a happy person. In fact, I officially encourage all who read this blog to listen to this mellow, poetic artist who, apparently had a problem with living. I think its no worse then writing a blog that talks about how depressed you are even though you aren't really depressed in a suicidal sense of the word. We all might need an outlet for these feelings of apathy and boredom with life, whether it be listening to slightly depressing music or writing slightly depressing poetry. MAYBE AS HUMANS WE NEED TO BE DEPRESSED TO BE HAPPY!!....And if that's the case maybe I'm really depressed which is why im so happy....no that's stupid.

upon re-reading this blog I see that it comes off a lot more hostile then origionally intended. I feel no hositlity towards anyone right now. I feel like a liberal who loves mother earth must all the time, or maybe like a zen buhdist...now I'm sounding like a moron, I'm done now.

zen buddhist.haha. mike, this is what i think: depressing music to sleep to is relaxing...its an outlet. depressing music to get angry with is also an outlet but a little less fullfilling...however it is often used and enjoyed. so enjoy it. not everyone can. listen to david mead, he's another elliot smith in my opinion. have you heard "needle in the hay"?

alright i'm done.
