GuestDirectedSelfPortrait5: for portrait number five, i would like you to choose a song that is important to you. find the emotion it stirs up in you and run with it. show me how you listen to it, show me what it makes you feel, show me what it makes you want to do.

The music thing was hard for me… and i’m not happy with any of the attempts, but this is the closest I’ve come to actually expressing what music does for me these days. I turn to music when depressed. When sad. When need of silence, I turn it up. Way the fuck up. I drown out my sorrow and emptiness with the loudest volume my ears can stand.. and then I turn it up a little more. It doesn’t matter what it is. Everything from Black Sabbath to fucking Brittany Spears. Melt your skin and liquify your eardrums loud… and it brings me back to earth.
