"Wish It Was True" - The White Buffalo

Never has smoking looked so good

As I may have mentioned in previous posts,  I've developed a crush (read: obsession) with bad boy biker character, Jax Teller (Charlie Humman from Sons of Anarchy)  The show is based on a hamlet-esque father/son story about a motorcycle gang. Between drooling and gazing lovingly, I've noticed the show feature many solid songs. One in particular I've been listening to on repeat is, "Wish It Was True", by The White Buffalo.

At first when the song came on I had pegged the vocalist to be Eddie Vedder ala his solo "Into The Wild" days, so was surprised to learn otherwise.  The lead singer, Jack Smith looks and sounds like a character worthy of SOA, with his deep growl and grizzly bear beard.

(Sigh) those were the days..

Sometimes life sucks.  Sometimes it's hard.  As much as it  seems enticing to be perpetually happy, consider this,  if everything is always great,  nothing is great.  Life has ups and downs for a reason.  The "downs" exist to make you stronger, and to make the "ups" that much sweeter.

I'm 26 now.  I'm on the wrong side of 20, and beginning to notice that I feel (slightly) and look (barely) old-er.  I seem to be becoming more (ugh) responsible...  It's terrible.  I'm thinking things through, making less bad decisions and contemplating my future.  Previously, my "future" hadn't extended past the next morning.
