Not sure what I think about what I’ve listened to so far. My favorite songs from them right now are Morning Dew, Uncle John’s Band, Cumberland Blues, Truckin’, and Tennessee Jed (Live in Paris). I’ve only listened to a small number of songs from them. Their catalog is massive when you count the live albums. That’s why I’m focusing more on their studio albums right now.

I decided to listen to the Grateful Dead mainly because my dad is a fan of them. He’s been one since I was little. I gifted him Europe ‘72 on vinyl for Father’s Day this year and that’s when I decided to start listening to the Grateful Dead.

It’s a beautiful experience getting into new music and listening to different artists and bands.

Something has been bothering me. I’ve mainly been listening to classic rock music and every classic rock artist or band that I listen to is from the 1960s, 70s, or 80s. I don’t listen to much modern music anymore. Just a few artists or bands like Zach Bryan and Twenty One Pilots.

I used to listen to a lot more modern music. I remember back in high school I was really into rap music and that ended while I was in college. Then while I was in college I really got into alternative rock and indie music.

I guess what’s bothering me is I want to try get back into some of the music I was listening to a lot before (the alternative rock and indie stuff) but I find it difficult for some reason.

I was mentioning selling some of my records to my dad and grandma but they said I might want to listen to them again and I shouldn’t sell them. I agreed. It’s just when you mention bands like for example The Beach Boys to people who are around my age and they say “I don’t know who that is” it sucks. And yes that actually happened at work a few weeks ago.

So if anyone has any suggestions on what I should do feel free to let me know because I for some reason am finding it difficult to revisit music I listened to in the past.

Last year in September I made a huge mistake. I threatened to kill a student at the college I used to go to and I got expelled. I’ve applied to other colleges in the state I live in but they don’t accept me because of what happened as it’s on my record. I tried applying to online college but I made a mistake on one of the forms and it’s taking a long time to fix. It’s not looking good.

I feel like I ruined my life. I now work as a cleaner at a local grocery store and people tell me I doing fine and haven’t ruined my life because I have a job and I managed to get a car recently. I just want to finish college. I feel if I don’t finish college I’m a failure. Everything seems like it’s doesn’t change and my life isn’t improving. I’m stuck cleaning the grocery store for the foreseeable future.

I have no friends to help me deal with things. I feel like a social reject. I have so much trouble making friends because I have autism. I don’t want people at work to know about my disability but it hampers me in many ways. I feel strange talking to my co workers. No one talks to me except when I say hi to them.

I just want things to change and it’s looking like nothing will. I feel stuck. Please help me.

I'm going on an Alaskan cruise with my parents in the end of July. I'm 21 years old and have never been to Alaska. I've never left the Eastern U.S. (unless Ohio is in the Midwest because I've been to Cleveland). I'm wondering how it is visiting Alaska because I find myself not completely looking forward to this trip because I don't know what to expect. I'm a big history buff, I like different cuisines, and I also like rock music. Those are my interests. I'm not sure if there is any history in Alaska. I haven't researched anything about Alaskan history or Alaskan cuisine. Anyways can someone help me out. I'm going to give you guys my travel itinerary if that helps. Thanks.
