Changes- David Bowie

"Time may change me, but I can't trace time."

So, obviously writing a post every single day is near impossible for me in this time of my life.  No problem, I'll just write a post every once and a while when I get the time.  So, if you are upset that the format is changing, or that I am going against my word, calm your tits.  I have a life, sue me.

David Bowie is fantastic.  Super eccentric, seems like he should be an trany, but awesome.   I lurve him.

Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But stil the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the stranger
(Ch-ch-Changes)
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Ah changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

21 @ 12- Hot Hot Heat

"And on this night in a border town, you'll wave goodbye to your father's son"

I am turning 21 at midnight! So EXCITED.  BAH most of my friends are 2 years older than me so, this has been much awaited.  AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

http://www.stampington.com/postscript/2011/dec/ps_12132011_potm.html

I loooooove Hot Hot Heat.  They disappeard a few years ago, which sucked because they are amazing. Catchy. Love it.

Let's be honest, we're all criminals here so take the halo down
Autograph hunters making legends out of scumbags from a better town
21 at midnight, it's a curse of a man who'd kill to put it off
Wrestling grizzly bears just to draw a crowd 

A crowd that would have jumped at dogs

When you're 21 at midnight you act like a man
Look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
Your tombstone in hand
You fight so hard to give away for free what you'll just want again 

A virtual who's-who of the who-cares, the self appointed king and queen
Better off jester rather tame the troops than fertilize the village green
hey I knew you back in 1999, I know you don't forget
Obligations plague you still why can't you shed em yet?

When you're 21 at midnight you act like a man
Look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
Your tombstone in hand
You fight so hard to give away for free what you'll just want again
You'll just want again

And on this night in a border town
you'll wave goodbye to your father's son
And on this night in a drunken brawl
you'll say hello to your poor child's father
Who's 21 at midnight

He thinks he's a man
Look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
Your tombstone in hand
You fight so hard to give away for free what you will just want again
What you will just want again

Make Me Proud- Drake

"I know things get hard, but girl you got it."

I am so proud of myself.  I love who I am. I love where I am.  I love who I love and am proud to love.  I am everything I want to be. 

http://www.agefotostock.com/en/Stock-Images/Royalty-Free/IMZ-rca0019

I wasn't a huge Drake fan until this song came out.  I now realize that he may the Y-chromosome to represent women in a POSITIVE way.  There is no reason I should feel ashamed for my morals of not sleeping with the first guy I see or going to school.  And Drake reminds me of this.

I like a woman with a future and a past
A little attitude problem all good it'll make the shit last
Don't make it too easy girl, don't take it too fast
Yeah, that's it, right there, that's it
Do it just like that
Only you could it just like that
And I love it when your hair's still wet
Cause you just took a shower
Running on a treadmill and only eating salad
Sounds so smart, like you graduated college
Like you went to yale, but you probably went to Howard
Knowing you, weekend in miami, tryna study by the pool
Couple things due, but you always get it done
Might have been a time when I loved her too
But you take that away, you always be the one
One, I wonder why the moon looks nice girl
Maybe it's just right for the night
You said niggas coming on too strong girl
They want you in their life as a wife
That's why you wanna have no sex
Why you wanna protest, why you wanna fight for your right
Cause you don't love them boys
Pussy run everything, fuck that noise

I know things get hard
But girl you got it, girl you got it there you go
Can't you tell by how they looking at you everywhere you go
Wondering what's on your mind, it must be hard to be that fine,
When all these motherfuckas wanna waste your time
It's just amazing, girl, and all I can say is...

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
Everything's adding up, you've been through hell and back
That's why you're bad as fuck and you...

B-b-b-bad I am
All of them bitches I'm better than
Mansions in Malibu babblin
But I never mention everything I dabble in
And I always ride slow when I'm straddlin'
And my shit's so wet you gotta paddle in
Gotta ro-ro-row, gotta row ya boat
It's Pink Friday records and OVO
Done did the pop tour, I'm the realest deal,
The best legal team so the deals is ill
It's Mac, OPI and a fragrance too
Apparel, I'm dominating every avenue
Cobblestone, good view, lil gravel too
Gotta pay for the entourage travel too
Cause I'm fli-fli-fly, I'm flying high
Ain't got time to talk, just Hi and bye bitch

And baby if you ask me to take a break
I'll give it all away, don't care what the people say
I'll be a million, billion, trillion miles away

He asked my sign, I said a Sagg'
I'm a star, Sheriff badge,
What's the point? If I'm guardin'
Double D up hoes, Dolly Parton

I know things get hard
But girl you got it, girl you got it there you go
Can't you tell by how they're looking at you everywhere you go
Wondering what's on your mind, it must be hard to be that fine, when all these muthafuckas wanna waste your time
It's just amazing, girl, and all I can say is...

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
Everything's adding up, you've been through hell and back
That's why you're bad as fuck and you know you are

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so proud of you
Everything's adding up, you've been through hell and back
That's why you're bad as fuck and you know you are

American Girl- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

"Well, she was an American girl raised on promises"


I want my stuff back.  My ex has my stuff, stuff that includes my American Girl Tom Petty shirt.  I want my Tom Petty shirt, and my toothbrush, and my PJ shorts, and my plate.  Yes, I left a plate over there.  And I want it back.  And guess what, I'm supposed to get this stuff from him soon and when I was thinking about it in my car, all of a sudden this song came on. IT WAS LIKE FATE.  I'm supposed to get my stuff back soon.  Plus, what is he going to do with a small tshirt and short shorts?

http://www.store.livenation.com/Product.aspx?cp=13281_16771_21287_30077&pc=FXCTPET43687

This is my all time favorite Tom Petty song.  It is also one of my favorite songs of all time.  I can't help but smile when I hear it.  My sister knew this was one of favorites and when she made a slide show for my graduation, she put this in the background.  So perfect. 

Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep


Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl


It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashing in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach


Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Your Ex-Lover is Dead- Stars

"Live through this, and you won't look back."

Hey guys! So Sorry it has been FOREVER since I have posted.  Life got in the way.  A little catch-up: I was in my school's production of Oklahoma! and made a lot of new friends, I got a new job this week, and my boyfriend and I broke up.  Now, before you expect me to be sobbing my eyes looking for sympathy, realize I am a very happy person who refuses to wallow in sorrow or breakups.  It sucked.  I won't lie about that, but it wasn't the relationship I wanted either.  I fell in love, he didn't, and that's something neither of us can control.  I don't regret anything.  I don't look at his pictures and cry or wish we were back together.  I don't want him to change for me nor I to change for him. I don't want him. I would take back the good times, but the relationship took a downward spiral this semester and there was no way back up.  I look back at it as a happy memory, instead of a tragic failure, and cry more for what I went through during the bad last few weeks of the relationship than for actually breaking up.  I will always love him, but I am no longer in love with him.  Plus, the breakup was honest and we continue to be open and talk to each other about it.  It may have not been successful in love, but it was successful in respect.  I don't need him to love me. I just need him to care, and from what I can see, he does. 

http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/quotes?before=1332465635

This song pretty much sums up the moving on part of breaking up.  It is positive but still recognizing what that person was to them.  I will never forget who he was to me, but he is longer that person for me anymore.  He is new to me, as am I, and we must now move on with our new friendship with maturity and dignity. 

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love

Live through this, and you won't look back
Live through this, and you won't look back
Live through this, and you won't look back

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say

I'm not sorry there's nothing to say

Doubt- Delphic

"What you say is what will go"

SO, my life is pretty hectic right now.  There may be long pauses between each post.  Sorry.  Anywho, doubt is an evil thing.  And so is distrust.  Distrust is the most toxic poison.  I have major trust issues, and often doubt peoples' relationships with me merely because I don't allow enough trust to have confidence in their feelings.  It's something I'm trying to work out.  Little improvement are better than nothing. 

http://www.pragia.cz/english-home/meetings-and-incentive/teambuilding-activities/

I'm usually not into techno-electronic stuff but the chorus in this song is just catchy.  Plus, the ah-eh-oh-oh part is kinda cool, I guess.

Wanting meaning, wanting more than the same things

Wanting everything, just to start at the ending

I found another face to show

Just because what you say is what will go

Doubt, in it all for me

I've hit the wall, all that's left for you is doubt

Better you than me, I've so far to fall

All that's left for you is doubt

In it all for me, I've hit the wall that's left for you is doubt

Better you than me, I've so far to fall, but I can't change now

Missing the life gone by that I have lost

I'm missing the better times that I had lost

When you're near me I get tired when you follow

When you speak what you say is what will go, will go

What you say is what will go

Doubt, in it all for me

I've hit the wall, all that's left for you is doubt

Better you than me, I've so far to fall

All that's left for you is doubt

In it all for me, I've hit the wall that's left for you is doubt

Better you than me, I've so far to fall, but I can't change now

Doubt, in it all for me

I've hit the wall, all that's left for you is doubt

Better you than me, I've so far to fall

All that's left for you is doubt

In it all for me, I've hit the wall that's left for you is doubt

Better you than me, I've so far to fall, but I can't change now

"In her mind, I'm proud to roam"

I am absolutely in love with this guy.  He is like a mix between Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, and Ray Lamontagne.  So great.  I can't believe I have never heard of him before.  He is so amazing.

http://www.artistdirect.com/artist/scott-matthews/464635

This song is so beautiful.  Great lyrics, amazing falsetto, simple accompaniment.  I am seriously in love.

She's a gambler spinning wheels
The poisoned victim a look of steel
The coldest heart you've ever felt
The coldest hands you've ever held

Ticking down on her way
A million miles still no headway
Has her love truly blown
In her mind, I'm proud to roam

She's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes as I'm next to you
She says my destiny lies in the hands that set me free

A wreckless night she hears me breathe
Cursing the skies of this company
You've lost the wisdom deep inside
Her bitterness shows its eye

If it's true, I am doomed.
What more is there, to hold on to
A strand of hair is all I own
A gift to me, this sorry soul

She's elusive and I'm awake,
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
I open my eyes as I'm next to you
She says my destiny, lies in the hands that set me free

Something says this ain't right
There's more to her than meets the eye
She comes and goes at any time
Back in my head til another time

She's elusive and I'm awake
defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
I open my eyes as I'm next to you
She says my destiny, lies in the hands that set me free

Lucky Star- Madonna

"I'm the luckiest by far"

I went out to a Halloween party last night.  Got pretty drunk, again, even though I said I wouldn't. Curses.  But, anywho, I went as Madonna, my idol.  And I must say, I looked freaking awesome! Probably one of my fav costumes of all time.

http://www.rad80sfashion.com/80s_theme_party_invitations.htm

Lucky star isn't my favorite Madonna song, but it's the one I think of relating to her image at that time.  I went as the early, 80s Madonna with the lace and pearls and crosses.  Pretty easy costume....and comfy.

You must be my lucky star
Cause you shine on me wherever you are
I just think of you and I start to glow
And I need your light
And baby you know

Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight
Starlight, make everything all right
Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight
Starlight, star bright, yeah

You must be my lucky star
Cause you make the darkness seem so far
And when I’m lost you’ll be my guide
I just turn around and you’re by my side

Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight
Starlight, make everything all right
Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight
Starlight, star bright, yeah

Come on shine your heavenly body tonight
Cause I know you’re gonna make everything all right
Come on shine your heavenly body tonight
Cause I know you’re gonna make everything all right

You may be my lucky star
But I’m the luckiest by far
You may be my lucky star
But I’m the luckiest by far

Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight
Starlight, make everything all right
Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight
Starlight, star bright, yeah

Come on shine your heavenly body tonight
Cause I know you’re gonna make everything all right
Come on shine your heavenly body tonight
Cause I know you’re gonna make everything all right

You may be my lucky star, I’m the luckiest by far
You may be my lucky star, I’m the luckiest by far
You may be my lucky star

You may be my lucky star
I’m the luckiest by far

What you do to me, baby
You know you may be my lucky star

But I’m the luckiest by far

Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight
Starlight, make everything all right
Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight
Starlight, star bright

Starlight, star bright
You make everything all right
What you do to me, baby
You’ve got to stay by my side tonight

Starlight, star bright, starlight, star bright
Starlight, star bright, starlight, star bright

Starlight, star bright, baby

Starlight, star bright

Stay by my side tonight

What you do to me, baby

What you do, what you do to me, baby

Stay by my side tonight

You may be my lucky star

Sing- The Dresden Dolls

"Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing"

I got a solo in choir!!!! BAHHHHH! Omg, it has been since senior year of high school since I have had a solo.  I used to be known as "the singer".  I sang in all state choir, got the best scores at solo competitions, got the lead in the school musicals, and got the solos in choir class.......then gave it all up when I got to college.  I kind of gave up on my dreams.  You see, ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to be a singer.   And then, when I realized that was a hard profession to get into, I gave up.  I really stopped singing.  But, then this year, I realized I was really unhappy without singing.  So, I got back into it.  And look where it got me!!!

http://mute.rigent.com/index.php?ladat=2007-07-26

I loved this song when I came out.  We found it kinda funny because of the lyrics are a little out there.  But the overall message is just to sing.  I've always found singing to be so therapeutic.

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch
Back in the day it just went without saying at all
All the world's history gradually dying of shock
There is this thing it's like talking except you don't talk
You sing
You sing

Sing for the bartender sing for the janitor sing
Sing for the cameras sing for the animals sing
Sing for the children shooting the children sing
Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing
Just sing

There is thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked
It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance
After the show you can not sing wherever you want
But for now let's just pretend we're all gonna get bombed
So sing

Sing cause its obvious sing for the astronauts sing
Sing for the president sing for the terrorists sing
Sing for the soccer team sing for the janjuweed sing
Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing
Just sing

Life is no cabaret
We're inviting you anyway

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday

Turn that Heartbeat Over Again- Steely Dan

"You know my reputation for playing a good clean game"

I'm nervous.  Really nervous.  Big event happening tonight.  Could go really bad or really well.  I need to relax.

http://www.sodahead.com/living/hand-shaking-medieval-what-should-replace-the-handshake/question-372155/?link=ibaf&q=hand+shake&imgurl=http://images.sodahead.com/polls/000372155/polls_hand_shake_2329_127196_answer_4_xlarge.gif

I kind of have a love-hate relationship with Steely Dan.  My dad has constantly played their music around the house since I can remember, which made them get on my nerves.  But, they kind of remind me of my childhood, which makes me happy.  Weird feeling towards this band.

The plan was set the plan was done
Looked at my watch and started for the door
Now the food here ain't so good no more
And they closed the package store

 Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em til they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me

Oh Michael, oh Jesus you know I'm not to blame
You know my reputation for playing a good clean game
Oh Michael, oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when
You turn that heartbeat over again

My poison's named you know my brand
So please make mine a double, Sam
Stir it up nice I'll eat it right here
This highway runs from Paraguay
And I've just come all the way

Love your mama, love your brother

Love 'em til they run for cover

Turn the light off, keep your shirt on

Cry a jag on me

Oh Michael, oh Jesus you know I'm not to blame

You know my reputation for playing a good clean game

Oh Michael, oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when

You turn that heartbeat over again 

We warned the corpse of William Wright

Not to cuss and drink all night

Ticket in hand we saw him laid to rest

But zombie see and zombie do

He's here with me and you

Love your mama, love your brother

Love 'em til they run for cover

Turn the light off, keep your shirt on

Cry a jag on me

Oh Michael, oh Jesus you know I'm not to blame

You know my reputation for playing a good clean game

Oh Michael, oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when

You turn that heartbeat over again  

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right- Bob Dylan

"I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul"

Instead of dwelling on the issue at hand, I'm just going to act like it's not a problem.  It will become a problem when appropriate.  I can't prevent that.  But, I can enjoy what we have now, and see what happens from it.   I trust that God will not let me be in pain.

This is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs.  It's really sweet.  I'm kind of hit and miss with him.  I overall like him, but every once and a while, I can't stand his folky tunes.  But, this one is great.

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
even you don’t know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It’ll never do some how
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never known

An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe

I'm on the dark side of the road

but I wish there was something you would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

We never did too much talking anyway

So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal

Like you never done before

It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal

I can't hear you any more

I'm thinking and wondering walking down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told

I give her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don't think twice, it's all right

So long, honey babe

Where I'm bound, I can't tell

But goodbye's too good a word, babe

So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't saying you treated me unkind

You could have done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don't think twice, it's all right

Sweet Thing- Jeff Buckley

"Pretty babe, I will not remember that I even felt pain"

My boyfriend just delivered some potentially bad news.  I could really take some ice cream now.  Or anything to eat away my emotions.....seems soy milk will do the trick.

Leave it to Jeff Buckley to both calm me and pull at my heart strings.  I think this song is so beautiful.  One of my favorite of his. I understand it is a Van Morrison song, but Jeff really makes it his own.

And I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they'll get high
On a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky
And I will never, ever grow so old again
And we will walk and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Oh my, well
Sweet thing

And I will drive my chariot down your streets and cry
Well, it's me, I'm dynamite and I don't know why

And you will hold me strongly in your arms again
Pretty babe, I will not remember that I even felt the pain
And we will walk and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain
And I will never, ever grow so old again.
Oh sweet thing

Oh my sweet thing, sweet thing

And I will raise my hand up into the midnight sky

And count all the lights that shining in your eye

Just to dig it all and not to question well that's just fine

Just to dig it all and never wonder well that’s just fine

And I'll be satisfied not to read between the lines

And we will walk and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain

We will, someday

And we, you and me, walk and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain

You and me, we will walk

and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain

And we shall walk in gardens all misty wet with rain

And we shall walk in gardens all misty wet with rain

We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain

And we will never, ever grow so old again.

Oh sweet thing, oh sweet thing

Sweet, oh you know we will, oh you know we will

Remember the day when I held your hand

The look in my eyes only you can understand

Remember when we held each other soft and low

How nothing could ever be that strong

Sleep tonight with dreams as sweet as angels wing

Your dreams will bring you sweeter things

Sweet sweet sweet thing, oh sweet thing

Don’t, don’t, don’t you cry

Come here and let me tell you, let me tell you how much I love you

Sweet thing, oh sweet thing

Oh sweet thing, oh sweet thing

You know we will walk and talk in gardens all misty wet with rain

And will never grow so old again

Oh sweet thing

sweet sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing

Oh my sweet thing

What's the World Got in Store- Wilco

"Take your head off your feet, honey"

My local grocery store sucks.  Seriously, I couldn't find anything that I need today.  I guess that's what you get from living in a small town.  They didn't even have Halloween cupcake paper flutes!!

http://www.suite101.com/view_image_articles.cfm/435060

Wilco is pretty great.  This song especially.  Folky but kind of jazzy.  Really love it.

Take your head off your feet, honey
Cause you've been working hard and I know you're tired
You been trying hard not to think I'm a liar

What's the world got in store
What's the world got in store for you
What's the world got in store for you now

Come on baby somehow, I need you

Do I have to show you how, baby
I'm not trying to knock you out, or was it about
I just now you need your rest I can't say what's best for you
You been working hard and I know you're tired
I've been trying hard not to feel like a liar

What's the world got in store
What's the world got in store for you
What's the world got in store for you now

What's the world got in store

What's the world got in store for you

What's the world got in store for you now

Once Upon a Time- Smashing Pumpkins

"To wipe a mother's tears grown cold"


It is Homecoming weekend! Yay, love it.  Yesterday was walkout day, went out the night before and didn't get back to my place until 4 in the afternoon....without eating....whoops.  Then, went to the Sorority/Frat variety show last night and got up early for the parade.  We won the game! Like always.

Smashing Pumpkins are greeaaaatttt.  Oh, also, the name of this song was the theme to our Homecoming this year.

Mother I'm tired
come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave but still I go


Fallin' with the leaves
fallin' out of sleep
to the last goodbyes
Who cares why?


Mother I've tried
wasting my life
I haven't given up, I lie
to make you so proud in my eyes


Fallin' out of sleep
crawlin' over me
to the last goodbyes
Who cares why?


Tuesdays come and gone
Restless I still drive
Try to leave it all behind


Fallin', fallin' out of sleep
Fallin', fallin' with the leaves
I go crawling, crawling over me


Once upon a time in my life
I went falling


Mother I hope you know
that I miss you so
Time has ravaged on my soul
To wipe a mother's tears grown cold

Lost Long Shot- The New Amsterdams

"I'd rather be foolish than be scared of my own mistakes"

I give up on my fantasy team.  Seriously.  The Apathetic Team (my team name last year) is back in action. Or lack there of.

http://www.notsosilentmommy.com/2011_02_01_archive.html#axzz1b6eRZMwh

Leave it to the New Amsterdams to create a good folky song that will make you feel better when losing something!

You’ve got a world wide face
And I’ve been away for a year
I’ll hide it in someplace safe
Where even the spies don’t hear
I’ve been a lost long shot
A prodigal son by trade
Somehow the words won’t stop
Even when deals are made

Time and space
We can be distant
Running a different race
And nobody really wins
And only the fools rush in
And only the frightened wait
I’d rather be foolish than
Be scared of my own mistakes

Sorry can't find a video of this!

In a Win, Win Situation- Emery

"Just between the rock and paper"

I'm set to watch the football games today.  Seriously, my fantasy team better not dissappoint me.  I have a lot of pride in winning. 

http://www.buzzsugar.com/tag/Fantasy-Football

This song is a little soft for my taste, but I really like the chorus.  The dude actually has a pretty soothing voice.

I've noticed your design
Cause I'm not blind
I'm like a cigarette
Burning burning every night
But there's no ash that falls
There's only telephone calls in the afternoon
Stretching through a thousand walls

So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear

If you can't sleep alone

I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone

If you're measuring with time
In seconds or in lifetimes
There's no difference
It's constantly just passing by
But there's nothing at all
No valium or slow songs
To relax my view
Just you, maybe your new perfume

So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear

If you can't sleep alone

I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't hear the song

Then turn it off
Then turn if off
If you cast that first stone
Then throw them all
Then throw them all

I start to sleep but it's not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back
To start over again
Just between the rock and paper
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I'd take it all back
To start over again

 

Lust for Life- Iggy Pop

"I'm worth a million in prizes"

So sorry guys. Life has been wonderfully hectic lately.  A lot has been going on, I am super duper uper happy and will share with you later......



http://www.canstockphoto.com/images-photos/hand-up.html


Who isn't happy when they hear this song?  Well, actually, I take that back.  I sadly think of car commercials when I hear this or vacation spots in the bahamas.  Dumb advertising.  BUT it still sums up what I feel!

Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease

Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I've bought the gimmick
about something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before

I have a lust for life
Cause of a lust for life

I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
Wear a uniform all on a government loan

I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs
With liquor and drugs

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in my ear before
Well, I've a lust for life
Cause of a lust for life 
I got a lust for life
Got a lust for life 
Oh, a lust for life 
Oh, a lust for life 
A lust for life
I got a lust for life
Got a lust for life

Well, I'm just a modern guy

Of course, I've had it in my ear before
Well, I've a lust for life

Cause I've a lust for life

Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine I know

 He's gonna do another strip tease

Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick

about something called love
Love, love, love

Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
And I've a lust for life
Cause I've a lust for life
Got a lust for life

Yeah, a lust for life
I got a lust for life
A lust for life
Got a lust for life
Yeah a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life

Battle of Who Could Care Less- Ben Folds Five

"You're my hero, I confess"


I just bought the Ben Folds Whatever and Ever Amen album online for 4 bucks! Hellz yeah! Plus, it's great to have the album I was orginally supposed to have when I bought this at Vintage Stock (check past posts).  And I must say, it is great.  Makes me love Ben Folds even more.

http://music-wallpapers.net/view_ben_folds_five_1024x768.html

This is my favorite song on this album.  It's really funky because of the chord progressions.  Pretty great song.  So catchy. 

Do you not hear me anymore
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
But it sucks me in when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks, it works
I guess it's cool to be alone


Will you never rest
fighting the battle of who could care less?
Every day you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was that way


And you think Rockford Files is cool
But there are some things
that you would change
if it were up to you
So think about your masterpiece
Watch the Rockford Files and
Call to see if Paul can score some weed


Do you never rest
fighting the battle of who could care less?
 Unearned unhappiness

That's alright I guess


I've got this great idea
Why don't we pitch it to the
Franklin fucking Mint?
Fine pewter portraits of
General Apathy and Major Boredom singing
Whatever and ever amen
Oh well, maybe not
I'll try again
This should cheer you up for sure
See I've got your old I.D.
and you're all dressed up like the Cure


You'll never rest
fighting the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
You're my hero, I confess

I Think Ur a Contra- Vampire Weekend

"Never pick sides, never choose between two, but I just wanted you"

I saw my ex (not the creepy one) for the first time since we broke up today at the football game.  It was weird that I kept running into him, especially since I haven't seen him since March.  It was an awkward convo, but nice and friendly.  Short and sweet.  Before he left, he said call me.  I don't know if he means that.  Should I call him? To give you some background, he was the first guy I ever fell in love with.  We hit it off immediately, then he broke it off a few months later unexpectedly saying he didn't have enough time to date.  A week before that, he was making plans for our summer together. 

http://idiva.com/news-relationships/9-signs-you-are-not-over-your-ex/2247

This was my breakup song with this guy.  Pretty much sums up everything.  I think he was a contra and that he lied.  And it still hurts to this day. 

I had a feeling once
that you and I
could tell each other everything
for two months
But even with an oath
with truth on our side
when you turn away from me
it's not right

I think you're a contra
I think you're a contra 
I think you're a contra
I think you're a contra

My revolution thoughts
your little arrows of desire

I wanna trace them to the source
and the wire
But it's not useful now
since we both made up our minds
you gotta watch out for yourself
so will I

I think you're contra
I think that you lie
Don't call me contra
till you've tried

You wanted good schools
and friends with pools
You're not a contra
You wanted rock' n' roll,
Complete control
Well, I don't know

Never pick sides
Never choose between two
But I just wanted you

 I just wanted you
Never pick sides
Never choose between two
But I just wanted you

I just wanted you

I think you're Contra
I think that you lie
Don't call me Contra
Till you've tried
