Monday Morning Aural Sex: 2014-02-18 (Holidays and/or Tragedies Edition)

Howdy, perverts?! I know, I know. “Who says ‘howdy?’” My dad did and I used to poke fun at him for it. I loved it though, ‘cause it made him unique. Anyway, welcome to the Holidays and/or Tragedies Edition of Monday Morning Aural Sex! I know you might be wondering about the title, so lemme break it down. Basically, I’ve been saying for years that it shouldn’t take tragedies to get people to care about each other.

Same goes for holidays, obviously. Kinda funny how holidays and tragedies evoke (or are supposed to evoke) such opposite emotions, yet they both (or at least, they’re supposed to) bring us closer together. I say that’s fine, but in order to make those occasions truly extraordinary, we should already be close. Then, holidays like Valentine’s Day won’t be such a nauseating, consumeristic waste so much as a reminder to put in a little extra effort for your loved one(s).

However, I know many of us have loved ones we don’t talk to as often as perhaps we’d like or we should. I know there are lots of people with whom we’d like to be close, but something about them or us keeps us from it. As far as that goes, I think the best that can be done is to as unequivocally as possible tell them how you feel, and see what they do with the information. Anyway, I could go on and on, but let’s get this shit rollin’, eh? The majority of the music has nothing to do with the title of this edition, by the way. I just happened to have this shit on my mind and felt like talking about it, so there. Yojne!
