"I don't know what else to do, except to try to dream of you, I wonder if you're dreaming too wherever you are."

Hey, I have a few minutes.

Me and Katie were talking about musicals, and how me and her (and probably you) grew up on these overly epic, emotionally deep, and complex movies that were all the rage. Its like, everything (or almost everything, especially animated films) were musicals. Growing up on that I think significantly altered the way I am now in which I am emotional and tend to gravitated towards things that are theatrical. I've been thinking about it a lot lately after showing my brothers Rent, (in which they love and have been reciting ever since, myself included). Its a shame, that even back then the shoddy "straight-to-dvd" basterdized sequel films had quality music and today its dead, where back then I was forced to delve into culture that was epic, heavy, gay, and etc. Back in high school, I ignored this because I didn't think it was punk to like Elton John or something. But when I fell into depression all I could listen to was the Lion King soundtrack. Basically I feel more like myself now than I did then, (though I still love punk, I hardly listen to as much of it now as I did then). I wish though now that I was into MCR back then, I don't care how uncool it was then or is now, I feel like if I was honest with myself and not being all macho or some shit I would be completely emo. Those MCR kids were right all along in my view.

I wrote this on the fly, sorry if its inarticulate.
