time to go outside my comfort zone

I need to listen to new music, all of the local radio stations are so, well, the same. Haven't been feeling like myself lately and all the music that surrounds me isn't helping. So i was thinking of going a bit techno or electric? I don't know, it's just a thought, not sure if i can handle a lot of this music or not.


Hahahahaha didn't quite go all the way techno or electric, but i found this song about Daft Punk (who is techno, so i think that counts). I like this song now even though i just found it :)

A very neglected/unread blog.

Meh. I read it and that is good enough, I'd say. Since this is my blog and all i need to care about is what i say then i think it's quite all right. I have been so wrapped up in another blog lately i can't help but not be here posting music and livening up the place. The blog i have been on has indeed been the most entertaining read since i finished up everything David Sedaris has written.This is where i have been wasting my time<-------you should go to there and make her more famous and let her wittiness and cleverness consume your life, you will be better for it.

Alright, now for the morning song. I think today's song inspiration comes from the comment made by a friend yesterday, "don't take this the wrong way, but you are always available so i invite you places." Great so now someone is friends with me because i am convenient to be friends with. Whipidy-fucking-doo! Here is a song where 2 people are friends only cause they walk to school everyday-so they are forced into the friend spiral which will only fail once they reach adolescence and realize that they no longer need the other's convenience.

pirate days

I woke up this morning wanting to be a pirate, but a nice one-not one that pillages and rapes. Instead, one that just sails and looks like a pirate and dresses like one and of course talks like one, so this is the song i played when i first woke up. I am not even sure if anything else needs to be said with this video. I mean it's Tom Waits! No introduction necessary, he is God among men, dwarf among midgets, tom waits among all other musicians!
Other than waking up wanting to be a pirate that is all this song is soundtracking for today. It is overcast, but no rain so that means another pleasantly windy bike ride, i think i shall bundle up for this one thought, it seems to be a bit cold outside. maybe i will listen to some fast pace funness-which mostly excludes Mr. Waits only because i find i pedal faster when i listen to faster music!

Ahhhh, facebook...

Have you ever wondered what went through that person's mind when they requested to be your friend via facebook, but you haven't talked to them in a very long long long time. Like since high school. Not even graduation day or even the summer after high school, they were last seen by you in your sophomore year math class. Not to mention that last time you spoke to them, which was lunchtime during the first month of you freshman year. And here they are goofing smiling into a picture holding a kid, which you can only assume is theirs but he looks old enough to have been born while you were still in high school. There you are sitting, staring at the computer trying to remember if they had a kid in HS, you wouldn't have heard it from that person of course cause you haven't seen them since math class sophomore year, so you try to remember all the rumors you heard and can't think of any-STOP!!!-you finally come to your senses realize that you just don't give a shit and click ignore. You click ignore, because now you hate that person for even attempting to make you want to re-open the door to high school, which is the one door that should forever stay sealed, because by now (7 years later) if you don't have it surrounding you from high school then you really don't need it back in your life.

EXCEPT music, of course. I have this great selective memory, you see. Most people when listening to an album from their pre-college years, think back to the times, reminisce, wonder what happened to their teachers and so-called friends. HELL NO, not me, i am one of the lucky ones who can get past that, move on, live my life in the present. Granted that has left me a facebook loser topping out at a whopping 100 friends, but at least i know where, who, and what each 100 of those people are doing now!

Welcome to the late 90's

Long Drive ahead of me...

Up early for a day of driving then packing, then driving back home. Gosh i think i am a really great friend. I really wish i'd been able to sleep better last night. It's on mornings like this one that i wish i drank coffee. Swollen eyes, groggy voice, achy body, hard to smile...not a fun way to wake up only if i could find the right song....something invigorating, uplifting, something for the soul and spirit, something new yet extremely old, something fantastic, intriguing, super magnificent, exhilarating, captivating, something i can conquer my day with...may i introduce:

SPRING BREAK

So far i have done well with my time this spring break- having fun, bike rides, dieting, knitting, socializing...but i haven't listened to any music for about 3 days!!!! Strange. Today is sunny and beautiful, i think spring is here with a good start-however it will now just rain for the next 4 months. The problem with no homework is the catching up with the news. I have noticed a lot has been going on in the media with politics, with all the judgmental bastards and Constance can't go to the Prom because she is Gay? What the hell is going on with people today?!?!?!?!

well, since i have to catch up...

I must say, i truly missed posting things-even though nobody reads this, but i thoroughly enjoy having a soundtrack to my daily life! 20 mile bike ride today and i wouldn't have made it with out my music-particularly...



Incredible live-even though the venue was unconditioned in 110 degree weather!

I have like a week to catch up on!!!!

Well, school term is coming to an end and it has just beaten me to a pulp and dragged me behind an old horse's carriage along a windy, bumpy, gravel road! But all of that ends tomorrow (my last final)! so i will post a few videos in attempt to catch up. Things lately haven't been that bad, just stressful BUT St. Patrick's day happens to be my favorite holiday....can't wait-It's amazing that we and the Irish celebrate an excommunicated saint! Yay for Irish!



Irish music doesn't always have to sound "lame"



wait a tic-no Irish music sounds bad!



LOVE IT!!!!! so much more to come before Wednesday!

So far So good

Today hasn't been that bad, things are getting better for me in my life, but hey its still early so who knows?! I know this is a silly song and not at all in my genre of interest, yet, i find it invigorating and fun! Today, being friday and all, I decided to kick off this homework filled weekend with funness and excitement. Who better than to fulfill that then Lady GaGa.

Ol' Frankie has not been able to cheer up my day, the three new video games doesn't brighten me up either...hmmm, well, shit. I get to go to the midnight showing of Alice in Wonderland, but i am not sure if i WANT to stay awake for the next 4 hours waiting for the showing, while i am here just thinking about my hideous day! Maybe getting this stuck in my head will help.


I mean who can't be cheered up by this catchy wonderfulness?!?!?!

I am not necessarily a sad, boring person these days just won't leave!

One of these days, soon i hope, i will have a good day and the music i post will be happy! I promise....until that day comes, lets have a few shitty ones, in which i can do nothing about! Gotta love my falling out with my best friend, my husband and i just can't seem to find time to spend together, my freshly neutered puppy is being a little jerk, this term is coming to an end with me lagging behind! UGH, thank god i don't have kids! So here's to you, my sweet, sweet day which life has shit upon.

After 2 uneventful days, this day is a bit more eventful, but full of somewhat boring events. I like the idea of feeling like a bad ass. And today i feel really awkward no matter what i do, so i needed a confidence boost. This song definitely does the job.

Yet again another boring Day!

Boring yes, BUT i started my diet today and tracked everything! Also the second day in a row i went on a grueling bike ride (today it rained on me)! So i am feeling pretty bad ass at the moment, time to soothe my almost 100% German roots!
kind of a messed up video, HOWEVER, no matter what you are doing (literally anything, knitting, cooking, sewing, gardening, bike riding, etc...), you are such a bad ass when listening to Ramstein.

A bland song for a bland day

Today was just about as boring and bland as they get. School, homework, cleaning, cooking-NO original thought process-NO creativeness-NO smiles-NOTHING! I just can't believe it! Am i really that boring? Well, I will go on a bike ride to enjoy this first overcast day in March and try to forget about my dullness. I even found the most boring video just for the occasion.
