And Slurpees made from venison (that's deer)...

I just haven't had that blogging feeling lately.

Anyway, the other night we watched a movie called Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music? It's a very good documentary about Christian rock music and it is surprisingly neutral. It began with a sort of crazy lady and hardcore Christian metal, which initially made me think it was going to be mocking Christians, but it did get better.

It's one of those movies that really makes you examine your beliefs and your values and think about what emphasis you place on the music you listen to. At least if you primarily listen to (or at one time primarily listened to) Christian music. And if you primarily listen to "non-Christian" or "secular" music, it's a good window into the "Christian music industry" (it's sad that that term even exists).

Anyway, Five Iron Frenzy was interviewed in it (Reese and Dennis, anyway) and when I saw Reese, I got a little sad. Someone said on FIF's MySpace that they now understand why adults don't go to rock concerts. It's because they saw a band that they fell in love with, and after that band breaks up, no other band can replace it, so it leaves you feeling empty. I get that.

Also, I miss who I used to be, and Five Iron represents everything I was approximately nine to six years ago (where has time gone?). I feel like a friendless zombie now. Everyone's graduated and grown up now. I left my hometown on a whim*. I don't feel like I've ever left anybody, but it feels like everyone's gone.

Listening to FIF at least gives me the same feeling I used to get. It has an empty feeling behind it, but it'll do for now.

* Clarification: whim = short period of time. As in I didn't tell anyone I was leaving. I stayed in Virginia for two weeks, went back home for one day, told my parents I was moving to Virginia, grabbed the essentials, and left.
