happy birthday

Something weird happened last night. I've been a Jeff Buckley fan for quite awhile now. And it's weird but I have this thing where I'll get really into him for about a week, i mean, i'll listen to every single song on his albums on repeat for days, look up all his videos on youtube and stuff, and then all the excitement kinda disappears until the next time i get obsessed. Not that I ever "get over him" i mean, i listen to his music all the time, it's just that every so often i get into a stage where EVERYTHING I DO IS ABOUT JEFF.

Up until last night, i hadn't had a obsession session for a while. So when i got back home from dinner, out of nowhere i took out my guitar and started playing his songs. And i played every single track from both of his albums all night. And then i found 2 interviews on youtube that i had never seen before and they were AMAZING. (check my myspace.) And i sat here in my room for about 4 hours just completely absorbed in everything Jeff. And not to sound weird but this was the biggest "obsession session" i think i've ever had. So about 5 minutes ago, i go onto his official website and clink on a link that said "birthday celebrations".

Turns out that last night was his birthday. He would be 41 today.

And i've been sitting here just kind of taking everything in. Now i admit i am a bit superstitious and believe in this whole karma universal power thing, but how weird is it that the biggest JB obession session that i've ever had in my life was last night, on his birthday??
I don't know, leave it to me to over-analyze this thing. But i think it's too much of a coincidence.

Happy Birthday Jeff. Wherever you are.
Until next time
