1983

When I arrived in Baltimore I immediately jumped into a conversation with my buddy Chris about the differences between people from Texas and those from the eastern side of the states. I guess I shouldn't specify those from Texas, but i guess I can generalize and say those of the southern united states. I had never been to any of the eastern states during the fall season and was really excited to see the change of leaves and have an actual climate drop that stays at said temperature. So Chris picked me up and we started talking about music and the usual banter between two music nerds. I then started talking about how weird it is to be around people that are always on the grind, trying to get stuff done. Chris is in the group Spank Rock and he knows exactly what it was that I was talking about. He related the factors of having season changes being a crucial part of why people of the east always seem to be on the go. I thought about it for a second and can totally see what he was talking about. There are four seasons, each with its own feel and vibe. Having to adapt to such climate changes four times a year can definitely take its toll. With the four seasons comes this rebirthing almost every quarter, a time for change if you will. There is a cycle that ties nature and people together. Austin has been called many things to me since I moved almost two years ago, the one that has stuck with me the most is "the velvet cushion or pillow". People get stuck there very easily, a quicksand of cities. I like the place and I could see why people can get stuck there so easily, but for a city that claims to be ahead of the curve and seems to have so much life, why is there very little motivation and hustle? I just don't get it. Texas does not have the best climate in the world, well let me rephrase that, Texas for the most part only has one climate. Very little change and flow of nature. Straight chill mode at all times.

if you rescue me, i'll be you friend forever
let me in your bed, i'll keep you warm in winter
