I didn't think it could happen, but Radiohead continues 2 blow me away.

OK COMPUTER is an unparalleled masterpiece. I will not be reviewing every song on the album for the sake of time, so let's just get on 2 my fav from the album.

Needless 2 say this reminds me of Brayden.

This is what you get This is what you get This is what you get When you mess with us

Ha...Brayden, you have been warned. You've messed with the wrong worm...

For a minute there I lost myself, I lost myself

Now this reminds me of Jeff the Killer. Sometimes he loses himself 2 that strange feeling that urges him 2 kill...sometimes it seems I too will succumb 2 that strange, haunting feeling in the back of my mind as well...

I've given all I can It's not enough

And lastly...well, this one reminds me of Maximus P. That is all I will say.

Well, my father says that Peru’s GDP is steadily increasing, which is a positive sign; however, poverty rates have increased since the pandemic, which is certainly an issue I hope 2 see solved in the coming years.

Socially, I do hope 2 see an increase in acceptance towards LGBTQIA+ people in the future, though attitudes have certainly grown more positive in recent years. As with many countries in the world, I hope 2 see an end 2 the pervasive systemic racism in the country as well.

Peace and love 2 the people of Peru,

It really is true...we are all just living in a "fake plastic earth."

It wears me out

Wow. Sometimes this is how I feel...worn out. Life really is hard...and it wears me out.

Sorry, was that redundant? It's just that I can't keep myself from dwelling on some of those final lines.

I wonder if on this fine, clear night, Maximus P. is looking out his window. I wonder if Maximus P. listens 2 Radiohead...he always did have such good taste in music.

Sorry...am I getting too sentimental? Ha...it's not like I miss him. It must be the music doing something 2 me.

And if I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted All the time All the time

Update on the Radiohead post:

Dad, I guess we have more in common than I thought.

Yes, I listened 2 the track "Creep" on Radiohead's 1993 debut Pablo Honey (don't call me a 'normie,' I know it is there most popular song, but everyone starts somewhere).

I have 2 say...

Wow.

I have never felt more heard.

I saw the song name and thought "Creep. Like Creepypasta. Perhaps this won't be so bad..." and I was proven right a hundredfold. Just goes 2 show you shouldn't judge a band by its name...but perhaps a creature with a "radio head" would be pretty awesome, don't you think? Like a new Creepypasta...

Many apologies 2 my Radiohead lovers out there...I have been listening 2 them quite a bit, but I've been putting off doing another review due 2 my busy schedule (RE: revenge plan and Hidden Heroes of the Revolutionary War project).

But "No Surprises" from Radiohead's 1997 most hailed album Ok Computer has touched me in a way only Thom can...

A heart that's full up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal

Wow...it's as if Mr. Yorke is speaking directly 2 me. My heart is full like a landfill...my job (school) is slowly killing me...and my bruises? If you've been keeping up with The Worm for any amount of time now, you know they won't heal...Maximus P, a plague on your name...

You look so tired, unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us

Now...not 2 get political on my blog (I believe in peace and love), but this line made me nod deeply in vindication. If you have been keeping up with The Government, you should know that they do not speak for The Worm. You know what I think they are? A bunch of bullies. And you know how Wormchamp72 feels about bullies...(2 be clear, I am not implying that Brayden is a Trump supporter, I believe his parents are Democrats because he has two moms---that's right. Wormchamp72 doesn't hate---but that does not make me hate Brayden any less).
