Self-loathing and hopelessness sucks. Good thing I'm so fortunate as to be filled with happiness and love and vast motivation all the time.

How I am related to Kurt Cobain:
From an interview with Guitar World:

GW: Did you like the Beatles?

COBAIN: Oh, yeah. My mother always tried to keep a little bit of British culture in our family. We'd drink tea all the time! I never really knew about my ancestors until this year, when I learned that the name Cobain was Irish. My parents had never bothered to find that stuff out. I found out by looking through phone books throughout America for names that were similar to mine. I couldn't find any Cobains at all, so I started calling Coburns. I found this one lady in San Francisco who had been researching our family history for years.

GW: So it was Coburn?

COBAIN: Actually it was, but the Coburns screwed it up when they came over. They came from County Cork, which is a really weird coincidence, because when we toured Ireland, we played in Cork and the entire day I walked around in a daze. I'd never felt more spiritual in my life. It was the weirdest feeling and - I have a friend who was with me who could testify to this - I was almost in tears the whole day. Since that tour, which was about two years ago, I've had a sense that I was from Ireland.

So after all that I have learned that his ancestors were from County Cork. So were mine. O'Sullivan and Kieran. Now I just have to connect them somehow. That is what I have spent my day doing so far. Fun. Bye.
