Flip?

I've decided I REALLY want one of these...



DROOOOOL.....

School SCHOOL sChOoL!

I have finally registered for spring semester classes. I am taking 18 credits again...YIKES! I believe in myself! WOOP! I am pretty sure I will be overwhelmed as always but I'm soooo ready to get all of these general requirements finished.

Class list:

  • ART Design: 3D
  • ART Color Theory
  • MICR Elementary Public Health
  • GEOG Natural Environments of the Earth
  • ANTH Peoples and Cultures of the World
  • WS Intro to Women's Studies
I am especially excited about my two art classes and the Intro to Women's Studies but not so much about the others. Oh well, I guess I am glad to take them all though since it means I will be getting those classes taken care of and out of the way. I feel like I'm on my way to getting my degree. Oh man, I can only imagine what it will feel like once I am finally able to walk at graduation and receive my BFA after all this time and hard work. It is gonna be SWEEEET!

PS...I am using this song as inspiration for a final project I am working on for my Design: 2D class. Once I am finished I will post the final result. Enjoy the video too...good fun!

We Are Scientists - After Hours

SoOoOoOo...

Pretty much the reason I stopped writing about myself on here is because the entire reason I started this blog was to "capture" my experiences of before and during my time in England BUT since that plan is no longer in the picture and I was going through a really tough time and feeling quite lost....yada yada yada, I didn't want to continue with regular blogging. Hence why I started putting music on here. Music is extremely important to me and is a HUGE helper when in the healing process so that's why I did it. But now I am doing MUCH MUCH better with myself and with life and feeling at peace with everything. I feel like I have purpose again and a few new directions to pursue have revealed themselves - WOOHOO! So since I'm feeling much better and more adventurous and energetic, I'm wondering if I should continue to do the whole blogging thing. If I do continue to do so I will be doing more posting about myself and less of the music thing (pretty much I'm getting bored with it) BUT I'm only willing to do so if I know people will be reading it and keeping up. So I am asking you people? Should I continue to blog? Does anyone care whether I do or not? Is it all just a waste of time if I do? COMMENTS! COMMENTS! COMMENTS!
THANKS YO.

The Wombats

Photobucket Photobucket
This song I am posting today always makes me laugh! I am so excited to put these guys on my page. They are so much fun and are a band that def pushes the envelope. Ridiculous and miracalous, from Liverpool, I give you The Wombats!



THE WOMBATS - KILL THE DIRECTOR

I’ve met someone that makes me feel seasick
Oh what a skill to have
Oh what a skill to have
So many skills that make her distinctive
But they’re not mine to have
No they’re not mine

Whenever she looks i read the nearest paper
No i don’t care about the soaps
No i don’t care about the soaps
Though i’m acting like i’m in an Eastenders episode

If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director please

Carrots help us see much better in the dark
Don’t talk to girls; they’ll break your heart
And this is my head and this is my spout
They work together; they can’t figure anything out

So with the angst of a teenage band
Here’s another song about a gender i’ll never understand
Here’s another song about a gender i’ll never understand

If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director please

This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget
Bridget Jones

Mandy Moore

Photobucket Photobucket
I don't think many people really know how much Mandy Moore's music has progressed since way back when she was 15 and her bubble gum pop song "Candy" came out. I'd say..MUCH IMPROVED! Seriously guys, her music is amazing. She's got a good folk-sie sound going that is fairly raw and fresh. Please check out her latest two albums Amanda Leigh and Wild Hope. I've posted a couple songs from Amanda Leigh, hope you enjoy.

And please, feedback is welcomed and wanted. Let me know what everyone thinks of any stuff I post here. Even if you dislike some stuff...let me know! :D


MANDY MOORE - FERN DELL

These are the thoughts that keep me up at night
Asleep with you
Dull dog bark and no bite
In love with a fool feasting for my eyes

Fern Dell
Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well

Follow the kicks and punches with the rest
Rearrange the furniture hoping it would make more sense
It didn't make a difference
It only made a bigger mess

Fern Dell
Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well

Here he comes along
Fresh in from the kill
Blood on the sheet
Lined up on my windowsill

Suddenly
Hollow me
Regrettably you never will

Fern Dell
Fern Dell
Oh
Fern Dell
Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well
I thought I knew you well


MANDY MOORE - BUG

What would happen if I flew to San Francisco
Wouldn't make much sense
From the outside looking in
Coming around again

All the answers
Far too many questions
All the things we said
Never really put to bed
Coming around again

You know I love you
What am I supposed to do
You're so far away
I stay on track
You're all over the map
Come back to L.A.

You know I love you
What am I supposed to do
I've been here before
I stay on track
You're all over the map
Come back to New York

Is this the only way for us to communicate
I put it in a song
Didn't really take too long
Coming around again
Coming around again

PETE YORN and ADELE

Pete Yorn


Its about time people know who Pete Yorn is, if you already don't. He's from New Jersey and has been around for quite a while. For fans of the movie 'Me, Myself, & Irene', you may recognize a song of his from the soundtrack called Strange Condition. I feel Pete Yorn is a genius when it comes to writing lyrics and his voice is undeniable. Please do have a listen, and I hope it will make you sit back and smile as it makes me do. :D



PETE YORN - LAST SUMMER

We were afraid
We would never meet again
We would never see it thru
Our time was short but not for no one reason
We couldnt stay
We were not each others truth
We were close but very far
I'll never see your face in sunshine again...

We were there last summer
It was fresh as the ocean
It was great last summer
But we can not go back again.

We were trying
To repeat what we once had
But you left so many times
You can never go back again

We were there last summer..

Oh maybe as time goes by
We will talk about it and laugh
But now it's too close, it's too close
We know what we must do

We were fools
To wonder when we'd get it back
I know i can not do it all again
The longing pain that we will deal with eventually

We were there last summer..

We can not go back again
We can not go back again
We can not go back again..oh

Adele
Photobucket

I HIGHLY encourage each and everyone of you to go and buy this woman's record...or at least take the time to listen to it. INCREDIBLE! I saw her perform live on vh1's Diva's show and I was flabbergasted! What talent! Straight from London, this girl has got a voice! Beautiful! I can't believe I haven't listened to her music before now. I'm sure I'll be obsessing over her for quite a while...



ADELE - COLD SHOULDER

You say it's all in my head
And the things I think just don't make sense
So where you been then? Don't go all coy
Don't turn it ?round on me like it's my fault
See I can see that look in your eyes
The one that shoots me each and every time

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

These days when I see you
You make it look like I'm see-through
Do tell me why you waste our time
When your heart ain't admitting you're not satisfied
You know I know just how you feel
I'm starting to find myself feeling that way too

When you grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

Time and time again I play the role of fool
(Just for you)
Even in the daylight when you came in
(I don't see you)
Try to look for things I hear but our eyes never find
Though I do know how you play

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

Weezer


Who doesn't love Weezer? :P


(If Youre Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To - Weezer

WEEZER-IF YOU'RE WONDERING IF I WANT YOU TO (I WANT YOU TO)

The moon was shining on the lake at night
The slayer t-shirt fit the scene just right
Smeared mascara, i looked into your eyes, i saw a light
You told me stories about your chickadees
They didn't like bb guns or stupid archery
John the lifeguard, he let them use the pool all day for free

Then the conversation stopped, and i looked down at my feet
I was next to you and you were right there next to me
Then i said go!
If you're wondering if i want you, (i want you to) i want you to
So make a move, (make a move) 'cos i ain't got all night

The rest of the summer was the best we ever had
We watched titanic, and it didn't make us sad
I took you to best buy, you took me home to meet your mom and dad
Your mom cooked meatloaf even though i don't eat meat
I dug you so much, i took some for the team
Your dad was silent, his eyes were fixed on what was on tv

Then the conversation stopped, and i looked down at the ring
Your folks were next to you, and you were right there next to me
Then i said go!
If you're wondering if i want you, (i want you to) i want you to (i want you to)
I swear it's true (i swear it's true) without you, my heart is blue
Go!
If you're wondering if i want you, (i want you to) i want you to
So make a move, (make a move) 'cos i ain't got all night

So much pain may come our way
There may come a day when we have nothing left to say
When the conversation stops, and we're facing our defeat
I'll be next to you and you'll be right there next to me

Then i'll say go!
If you're wondering if i want you, (i want you to) i want you to (i want you to)
I swear it's true (i swear it's true) without you, my heart is blue
Go!
If you're wondering if i want you (i want you to) i want you to
So make a move, (make a move) 'cos i ain't got all night
