This weekend was a weekend full of fun times.  (Again, for those who say I only do things with my boyfriend – the entire weekend was boyfriend free.)  Friday night, Mary, Allie and I hung out at my house and played Lego Batman and drank champagne.  You know, a chill night in that isn’t hard on the wallet.  Always a good time… Mary left at 11AM on Saturday morning and I sat around the house and played Skyrim while I did laundry.  It was exhilarating  [Click Comments To Continue]

*NSYNC Pioneered Dubstep

Yesterday, I had enough of feeling sorry for myself – and decided that I was going to change my attitude.  The quickest way to change my attitude is to listen to music which is upbeat and happy… so I pop open spotify at work, and type in five familiar letters that always brought me joy. Oh yeah, those five crazy whacky boys from NSYNC. Back in the day I was obsessed with NSYNC.  As much as I love U2, and Chevelle, and Third Eye Blind (and [Click Comments To Continue]

The Great Gatsby Trailer and Music

leonardo-dicaprio-great-gatsby-trailer-poster-released

Everyone who thinks Kanye, Luhrman and 3D are “inappropriate” for The Great Gatsby either haven’t read it or didn’t understand it. For those of you who need a quick recap on the story of The Great Gatsby, it is the story of three tragic couples, and how love blinds you from reality.  You have Gatsby, who is in love with Daisy Buchanan, who is in love with her husband, Tom – who has a mistress named Myrtle, who’s husband, George loves her very [Click Comments To Continue]

*sniffle* DJ Squirrel is *cough* in the house

First off, I’m sick.  I’m running a fever and my eyes are watery and I’m coughing and it’s just gross.  I blame my friends who I babysat for on Saturday night.  Their children are just walking infestations of all sorts of illnesses that we adults have no immune system for since we don’t go to school anymore, or have any kids.  I dislike this, greatly. Also, the house that Katina and I are supposed to move into, we’re supposed to get the keys [Click Comments To Continue]

What Hip Hop Taught Me

user-photo-172960-975984

I could write a post about the fact that pretty much everything in my life sucks right now because I’m the biggest human push over in the history of human push overs.  I mean, I pretty much let people walk all over me on a daily basis.  This is a problem, and really I need to go back to being a mega-bitch and calling everyone out on their bullshit and looking out for numereo uno. Of course, this would involve me basically screwing over a large [Click Comments To Continue]

DJ Squirrel and the Washington Capitals

So, all the stars aligned in a weird sort of way for today, and none of the DJ’s that typically handle the games were available to DJ the Capital’s game.  While there on Thursday, I jokingly told Jimmy I was hurt that I wasn’t asked (as Brett and a couple other people had been asked) and Jimmy’s face lit up and all of a sudden, I was scheduled as the DJ for the Saturday game. So, Saturday morning I’m getting everything set up on my laptop and [Click Comments To Continue]

Music and Healing a Broken Heart

healing_heart

So this is officially the first week that I’ve had no contact with Zack. Well, actually, I lie. We both slipped up when drunk – me on Tuesday night and him on Wednesday, but turns out we can’t even get our drunk booty calls in line which is basically the story of our whole relationship. Really, really, really horrible timing. I am actually feeling pretty good about whole situation right now, because he’s tried exceedingly hard to make me (and [Click Comments To Continue]

Playlist for a Break Up – 1990 Remix

i-love-the-90s

Let me tell you something horrible about dating someone who is just as into music as you are.  No music is safe.  I can’t listen to top 40 hits because it reminds me of Zack, I can’t listen to rap because it reminds me of Zack – I can’t even listen to country really because guess what, it reminds me of Zack.  (Because he secretly listens to country – don’t let him tell you otherwise.)  Everything that I typically listen to has been somehow hijacked [Click Comments To Continue]

This Song Reminds Me Of…

Lil-Wayne-Ten

While I’m procrastinating doing what I should be doing, I’m listening to music at my desktop because I actually set up my speakers and playing a game where I put it shuffle, and stop on a song that I want to hear, then look up the songs that it immediately reminds me of and you’ll see how I went from one the punkiest bands I know to one of the most vulgar rap songs I’ve ever listened to…. Starting Point: 1.  Unwritten Law – Rescue Me Choice [Click Comments To Continue]

A Song Is Worth 1,000 Words

darkest_before_the_dawn

Regrets collect like old friends, here to relive your darkest moments. I can see no way, I can see no way, and all of the ghouls come out to play. And every demon wants his pound of flesh, but I like to keep some things to myself. I like to keep my issues strong, it’s always darkest before the dawn. And I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind, I can never leave the past behind. I can see no way, I can see no way, I’m always dragging that [Click Comments To Continue]
