random rant.
I’ve recently become a little bit obsessed with my lastfm account and the website itself. For some reason I think it’s fascinating to see what others are listening to, and I know that’s the whole point of the site. Anyways, my gripe with it is that I wish there was a way to connect your stereo/record player to your account. I mean my music library on my computer is so much...

When I listen to Editors, I get really sad even when there’s nothing to be sad about.

Amoeba records is my second home.
Just got back and picked up a quite a few things. Very excited to listen! On vinyl, I got Explosions in the Sky, Saves the Day, and Death Cab for Cutie. On CD, I got Val Emmich and Someone Love You Boris Yeltsin.
Can’t wait to go back again.

America’s Best Dance Crew premiers tonight.
I downloaded about 20 new records (loves new music).
I’m going to Amoeba this weekend (finally, it’s been 2 months).
The worth of a book is to be measured by what you...
1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 56. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don’t dig for your favourite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. 6. Tag five other people to do the same.

Your hand in mine.
I’m listening to Explosions in the Sky. Talk about epic. When I listen to them, I feel like I can do anything. It’s strange how certain songs or bands can do that to you.

how i miss you so.
weird.
I just checked the warped tour lineup like I do every year. The majority of the bands that are playing are so far from the warped tour of my adolescence. I’m not bitter because with time comes change especially at the warped tour scene. It’s just really weird seeing Jeffree Star playing especially when he’s absolutely horrid. I guess I’m just feeling the nostalgia. I...
changed my theme again.
I’m beginning to think I’m ADD.

Look @ my cool theme.
I mostly picked this because it pops, but also because I think the picture behind all that text on the header is of the Backstreet Boys. Hells yeah.
the requisite first post.
I have a livejournal. I find that I can’t express myself fully on that thing so I made this even though I have blogger, a vox, etc etc. Haha. Well, hopefully this one will stick because I find the site aesthetically pleasing which makes me want to post and post and post.
