Free

I just had a random emo trip. It started out innocently enough, just go to Billboard and see what all the happening people are listening to. I recognize very few of the songs, and have actually heard even fewer. Long story short, I listened to "Free" by Zac Brown Band, and it got me really emo. I heard this song last week when I was heading down to Douglas, but my mom was writing it off. But it is, in pure essence, a simple love song, and it really struck a chord with me. I then felt compelled to listen to "Can't You See" by Marshall Tucker Band (maybe because I saw that Zac Brown Band had done a cover of it and I didn't like it that much) and then I don't know what the hell happened. I feel better now, but I'm just trying to figure out what catalyzed the whole thing. Maybe it's because my roommate is out for the week on vacation and I'm by myself and it's helping me notice how often I do feel alone. I really wish I could find a girlfriend, but the websites don't seem to help any nor is there anyone worthwhile I've met while trying to go out with other people (I went to bars and things with people from my math classes a few times, but I always wound up leaving early). So now it's 1 in the morning. I'm somewhere between hungry, sleepy, and lonely. Maybe it was this combo of imbalances that was the catalyst. But things will work out. Just takes time.
