i want to talk about my skills for a moment – and yes, even tho it didn’t seem like napoleon dynamite made a huge impression on me, it apparently has, and it’s taken over my life…

i want to remind everyone of this site: http://www.andallthatcouldhavebeen.com/

for those who didn’t know me in 2002, trent reznor and his little known band nine inch nails released a live album, which in special edition, came with an ep of 4 reworked acoustic tracks, 4 new instrumentals, and 1 new song. it was called “still” and is perhaps one of the greatest recorded works of all time. not kidding here. i produced my record of 30something posts in one 24 hour period the day i got the album.

i don’t promise that i won’t do the same on may 3rd when the new album comes out. i may leave my blog up for the sole purpose of talking about trent reznor every day for the next 8 months. deal with it.

here’s where the skills come in. the above site houses 3 video clips, “the becoming”, “something i can never have” and “gone, still” – all acoustic, which means, trent playing piano, which means my ultimate trent fantasy. i highly suggest watching them for anyone who doubts that trent has any talent, that he just does everything on a computer (and a mac, at that), and for anyone who thinks nine inch nails is some screaming hardcore band (MY DAD even thought the “still” cd was good). the site is done in flash and i somehow managed to hack into it and steal the videos. GO ME. i didn’t realize the site was still up and running, so when i saw it, i was reminded of my computer hacking skills hahahahahahahah. i’m not sure i could do it again.

and in completely unrelated news (seriously) i’m considering spending 3 months (or until i run out of money) in europe. it has nothing to do with the fact that both u2 AND nin are playing in europe this summer. seriously. it doesn’t. that would be just a nice bonus to hit up a few shows along the way. trying to figure out feasability of it all…not sure what to do.
