about

alternately titled, "Now I will destroy the whole world,"

"As it happened, or, says Bokonon, as it was SUPPOSED to happen," this was originally a love song to my former boyfriend, who's heart I have since broken. I then decided to reverse the audio and kill the former lyrics, essentially baptizing it. Now it's different, about different people, and borne from different feelings.

So far, all content on this page has been written and recorded in either my garage or my bedroom. I have recorded solely on a poor-quality $30 phone from the tech section in Wal-Mart, which is the only phone I trust myself to have because I break everything. I have dropped past phones on roller coasters that I then subsequently ran over 6 times as a passenger on said roller coaster. Another more recent time, a phone fell out of my pocket on my way to the bus stop in the early morning, and stayed in the middle of the road for the entirety of the six hour day as it got rained on and driven over by God only knows how many vehicles.

Floordweller has since, in quality, possibly suffered from such unavoidable circumstances. That "suffering" may not be a completely accurate way of describing the situation would, however, be an understatement. All necessary technological and quality restraints aside, the restrictions do not make me feel as though I'm being restricted. I hope no one ever reads this, but if they do, I only ask that they would at least never take anything I say or do seriously. Life is absurd. Life is meaningless in the happiest and most beautiful way. If any art that came from my hands ever turned out to be good, I think I would have to say, "Now I will destroy the whole world," and then kill myself, one way or another.

This is all a joke. To conclude I would just like to say that when you die, really only a few people will remember you, but they will all die too, and then all the people that will remember those people will die as well, and so on. Eventually the separation between you and the people who are still alive enough to remember anything will be so great, that you will be forgotten. This happens to everyone, except for the unlucky few that get books written about them, or articles, or movies, and so on. So do whatever it is that you want to do. Don't worry about being embarrassed because we're all going to die and no one will remember if maybe you looked funny in that shirt, but you will have finally gotten a chance to wear that shirt because for whatever reason you really liked it.

Life is only as real as you ever let it be. Life is a pissing contest. Ask the aliens.

lyrics

January 6 we walked on the streets
we saw a car slide on the ice into a ditch
we went to an all night place to eat
i was either filled to the top or not i couldn't decide which

i thought that when it drops below 30,
i couldnt be alone
i couldnt go out in public but i
couldnt stay at home

well you can't go anywhere without getting your ankles cut to hell with snow
but across frozen calhoun you can watch the city glow

drive through the neighborhoods and around the hills
watch how the upper class get their thrills
streetlights showin the shit they wanna hide
that they tried to bury underneath the snow the other night

you said "this neighborhood is where you'd
find a body or be killed too"
we drove up and down the streets
taillights and living daylights pouring into me

projecting off the snow thats falling
no i dont think ive ever been this happy
but i know some time again i will be
