WHAT IS THIS NEW BLOGSPOT FORMAT?????????????????
i have to admit i completely forgot about this blog. perhaps its time to close this brief chapter. i don't know how much i want to share with the vast world of the internet.
there is this giant hole in my life right now and i can say with certainty that for the first time i truly feel lost. i have no idea what to do with myself...sort of losing interest in just about everything, what is happening? well hopefully i can figure it out so i don't continue to waste my hours away.
peace,

oh my my
i really like a capella. my cousins & i use to pretend we were a traveling a capella band on our way to a lake. fun stuff.
pretty mesmerizing. wowzers. reminds me just how talented people are out there in the world. it's too bad they're not getting the deals/attention. he reminds me of harry potter...don't ask me why, i can relate anything to harry potter, ANYTHING. though there is also something i find somewhat annoying about this, can't put my finger on it. oh it might be those intensely dramatic faces he's making, actually no i like it, the more dramatic the better.
man. i wants beats by dre so i can sway and pretend i have musical swagger.
there is no way all those noises are coming out of his mouth. na ah. what....???
okay. i'm having a conversation with myself on blogger.
peace.

i was not blown away
Over the weekend, the Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann turned Hurricane Irene into a campaign punch line, suggesting the recent natural disasters were acts of God: "Washington, D.C. you'd think by now they'd get the message," Bachmann said at a town hall in Florida Saturday to laughs. "An earthquake, a hurricane, are you listening? The American people have done everything they possibly can, now it's time for an act of God and we're getting it."
the same can be said for you Ms. Bachmann, maybe "God" is sending you a message to STFU AND GTFO. i try not to get into politics because it almost never ends well, but this is just pure ignorance and stupidity on her part and anyone who agrees with her is just as stupid. God Bless America.
on a lighter note...
Two Brits do Walmart. Get a look at our consumption nation from another lens.
walmart is truly disgusting (lemme specify: the HAM&CHEESE LOAF is disgusting), i should probably stop going there altogether.
good day,

music is my religion
there's a hurricane coming.
everyone is freaking out. i hope it's not as dramatic as they're making it out to be...
i find music very therapeutic and song lyrics some of the greatest poetry i've come across. i'm extremely disheartened by the direction of what this new generation considers to be "good" music and they throw some sass at me when i try to break down their music wall. this doesn't mean you won't find me humming along to some new britney spears song (i'm sure i've professed my love for aaron carter' s songs on this blog numerous times, yes i believe in my heart they are wonderful simply for being so ridiculous).
here's a little piece i ran across that shares some of my sentiments:
They may have the same last name, but that's where the similarities end with Katy Perry and Linda Perry.
The 4 Non Blondes rocker is no fan of the "California Gurls" singer.
In an interview with music journalist Heath Daniels, Linda compared Katy's music to making "microwave popcorn."
"It's just different, it's different," Linda said. "You listen to the Adele record, and I'm not a huge fan of Adele, it's a solid record. A solid record, and it's selling. OK? so that means people are still buying records.
"It's the crap, like who wants a f---ing Katy Perry record? I'm sorry, you know? You're gonna get the two songs that are probably the hits that are good, but the rest of the album is gonna be crap.
"It's going to sound like s--t and who cares about buying that record?" Linda added. "So people download the single and then that's it."
Linda's position is interesting, considering that Katy just tied Michael Jackson with five No. 1 singles off the same album and the fact that Linda wrote songs for pop tarts like Britney Spears, Christina Aguelera and Pink.
In fact, she wrote nine out of the fifteen tracks on Pink's 2001 album "Missundaztood" and four tracks off of Aguilera's "Stripped."
Linda blames the quick-money mentality of music as "part of the reason the music business is in turmoil," even though she is responsible for hit-makers who helped inspire and make way for the likes of Katy.
It's not all claws from Linda, though.
"She's great for what she does. But she's not reinventing the wheel, she's not giving substance. She's just giving, you know, microwave popcorn for you to feast on right at this moment. You know, that's it.
"And that's what she wants to do obviously. She's not looking to change the world musically, she's not. So all the power to her and everybody that is like that."
a quote i found on tumblr awhile ago
"It’s fun, but I don’t think of it as music. It’s manufactured. I appreciate it as a pop culture phenomenon and some of the songs I like if I hear them in a shopping mall or something, but it doesn’t function as music for me. Music is something that communicates emotion and integrity in a really interesting, direct way, and when I listen to the pop music you’re describing, it’s hyper-produced corporate product. That isn’t really even a criticism, but I just think calling it music is a misnomer.” -Moby on Britney Spears
after her seeing her live at bonnaroo, i am still in awe/love with the depth and emotions of her songs. so excited for the new album coming out in a couple months.
i don't know, music is subjective so i might be arguing an endless point.
ugghhh on a side note, someone remind me never to eat cheese again when i'm not at home.
have fun in the hurricane people of the east coast!
