It Will Give You Chills

Danny MacAskill- "Way Back Home" video literally gave me chills through my entire body as I was watching it. I am no BMX bike rider, and the only bike I own is a green beach cruiser with a wicker basket and white wheels, but as I was watching this video it wasn't just his amazing talent that really got me, but his drive. This video can be seen as a symbol of inspiration and that extra drive we all need in our day to day life. Both the songs in the video I absolutely love as well. Wax and Wire-Loch Lomond is the first song and A Little Piece- The Jezebels is the second, both such powerful songs. Excellent job on the videography as well. I thought you all would enjoy this. 

Just When I Thought Music Couldn't Get Worse..

One of my inspirations for the creation of this blog was to post real, pure, great music for people to listen to in a world filled with over-processed, regurgitated, non meaningful music. Once I thought music couldn't get any worse after Kei$ha's "Tik Tok" song was released, everything I ever thought was proved wrong when I heard the most dreadfully repulsive song i've ever heard in my life: Rebecca Black "Friday." Not only does the way she say Friday just completely piss me off, but the fact that this video has over 40 million views about a song about how a girl gets up in the morning, has to decide where she wants to sit, and how happy she is it's Friday just makes me lose hope for this generation of music to turn around. And please note the token black rap verse, how cliche and so completely pointless? Who ever produced this song, you should be fired. You look like a nice girl Rebecca Black, but singing just isn't for you.

20 years and the grass is definitely greener, as is the beer.

Today is not only one of my personal favorite holidays, but it's the day I can no longer call myself a teenager; my 20th birthday and St. Patricks Day. A lot has happened in past 20 years, and I'd say overall, it's been one hell of a life thus far. Although it sounds cliche, i've "lived and learned," i've lost and loved, made relationships and ended relationships, had many successes yet many hardships, and all of it has made me the level headed yet "happy-go lucky" 20 year old girl I am today. So as I go out tonight with the ones I love to celebrate beating teen pregnancy and never getting sent to juvi, and I sip a green colored beer that may or may not be good for my health; i'll be smiling to myself and thanking God for the 20 years I've lived so far and the greenest St.Patricks day i've seen yet. It's 20 years later and the grass is definitely greener, as is the beer.

Cheers.

The 90's--When life was simple, and music was good.

It was the times of "Nick at Night" and "Disney Channel Original Movies," it was before television became regurgitated versions of every other show on TV and the reality show crase. It was a time of freedom and no responsibilities, a time before people became completely consumed in technology and face to face conservations were still had. It was a time where I would wake up in the morning and the only hard decision I had to make was what kind of sandwich I wanted my mother to pack me for lunch. But what I love most about the 90's: the music. The 90's was the last of the good music before it started to become overproduced with little or no meaning. 


It was the good ol' days.

Undie Runs. Who the hell made this ok?

Nothing screams "Hire me!" to future employers than a picture of you in your underwear running through your "accredited" campus on your Facebook. Call me a prude, but I don't get it. Really though, looking at this shit makes me ask myself what the hell our society is coming to. For girls who choose to do the undie run you'll either be criticized for not looking good enough in your underwear by the tool guys running next to you (honestly though, you really shouldn't be running around in your underwear looking like that), or you'll be looked at as the "DTF"girl who actually decided to degrade herself and run around in her underwear. And for guys who do the undie run...you just look like a douche-bag running around campus in your underwear. Were all adults here, if you want to go on a run, put on some work out clothes and go burn off those extra beer calories from the weekend. And if you want to party, I promise you, you can still have a hell of a good time not running around looking like a fool in your underwear.

Thats my opinion of the day. Oh, and don't even get me started on lingerie parties.
