Earworm: “My Body” by Young the Giant

Nothing but good things have been spewing from the depths of Spotify’s radio station based off of artist Foster the People (except for the occasional Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj garbage due to Foster the People’s mainstream popularity).

My listening to Young the Giant is a byproduct of my listening to Foster the People. And I don’t regret it.

The song that’s been festering in my mind for a bit now is My Body.

On their Remix EP, the song is remixed by one of my favorite bands, Two Door Cinema Club.

Apocalypse ….

So all this hub bub about the world ending today, well, I’m posting this now, so I guess it’s not going to happen. Great, now I have a lot of powdered milk, and powdered cheese to consume, and some spam also. I guess it’s cool, cause I didn’t get to stash up on Twinkies. How convenient was that, Twinkies ceased to exist, and they were said to have a shelf life of like a million years, and, the world didn’t end. When I woke up this morning though, it was very crappy weather, and, well, just seemed like apocalypse was sort of happening.

My co-worker, Marky Mark and I were talking about it, and well, we came to the conclusion that the Mayan that had the duty of making their calendar either ran out of stone, finally realized he had a shitty task, and quit, or he went for a break, and got attacked by a Jaguar or something. Maybe we should do the same thing, chisel some stone, and bury it somewhere only to have future generations find it and have them freak out. LoL.

Now I have some Holiday shopping to do, and doing it this weekend is pretty much suicide right there. Anywho, I found this t-shirt graphic that pretty much sums up what happened. I think it’s cool, and I might pick it up.

I survived!

Sleep.

It’s been a long while since I’ve actually gotten a full night of sleep. Every night, I drop dead at 1/1:30 just to wake up 5 or 6 hours later at 6/7.
Now, people seem to blame it on my ‘caffeine addiction.’ No, I can go without coffee. I’m not addicted. I love coffee, but I don’t depend on it to get through the day.
I’m just generally tired.
Everyday, I go walk 2 miles to get home. I have tons of homework to do as soon as I get home, and with or without procrastination, said work will take about 5 hours anyway.
People believe that I don’t get enough sleep because I try to take a two hour nap every day. Wrong. I sleep at the same time, every day.
I don’t get enough sleep because I’m overworked and as a young man need to balance a healthy social life.
Anyone have tips on how to better manage time?

Earworm: “Chelsea Dagger” by The Fratellis

Ah, rock and roll. The good old image of unkempt men, playing their loud music in small rooms, thrashing venues and getting chicks.

This song is just fantastic. The catchy chorus that is easily sung can improve anyone’s mood.

It reminds me of The Strokes and maybe The Killers.

Have a listen. (I’d advise opening a new tab while listening to this, the video is NSFW due to its sexual nature and semi-nudity. Plus the band doesn’t look too appealing. But their musical skills are great. so listen.)

Lovely Weekend

Had a lovely weekend up in Stowe Vermont. My GF’s co-worker’s father owns a unit up at Stowe Mountain Lodge, and was kind enough to offer it to us for this past weekend.  It was a very lovely, and relaxing weekend, and the whole trip was enjoyable, despite the lack of snow.  I will have some photos up soon and a complete write up hopefully.

 

 

My Thoughts on the CT Shooting

(Please, everyone, keep in mind, this is not the only tragedy to have occurred on Earth. Let’s all remember and hope the best for the families dealing with tragic losses worldwide, from shootings, natural disasters, accidents, and self inflicted harm.)

I am disgusted. Disgusted beyond belief. How can such a tragedy happen to innocent people?

The man couldn’t have been anything less than insane.

Keep your children safe, everyone. Shootings should NEVER happen, no matter the victims, no matter the place.

Earworm: “I Can’t Make You Love Me/Nick of Time” by Bon Iver

“Justin Vernon’s voice could cure AIDS… Fact.”

Wow. All I can say is wow. His voice is magnificent, and I only got into the indie folk band’s music when I started using Spotify, a few weeks ago.

No wonder they won a Grammy. (As if awards really mean a person/group is talented…)

Have a listen. Somehow the piano just makes me… Feel.

Funny YouTube pages such as this…

Are the reason why teachers don’t trust Wikipedia. Don’t look at it and just be all, “WTF IS THIS,” just… keep scrolling. Come back and comment your thoughts.

Cam Newton Windows Phone Commercial.

I saw this not too long ago, and I found it hilarious, well, at the very end anyway, when he did the pound cake and the french fries. He’s a great player, and he also seems like he has some good screen presence.

It also almost makes me want to dive into the Windows Phone world. Almost.
