(no subject)

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

I keep looking for a place to fit where I can speak my mind,
I’ve been trying hard to find people that I won’t leave behind,
They say I got brains, but they ain’t doing me no good,
I wish they could
Each time things start to happen again I think
I got something good goin’ for myself
But what goes [...]

Nostalgia Gone Wrong

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Sometimes people listen to music because it reminds them of something. Except (in my case) it has come to a point where I feel miserable, either because I’m not there anymore, or that it came from a more hopeful time.
Right now, it’s this game I used to play – the game demands constant play and [...]

Beet Impersonators (Doug’s “The Beets” With Real People)

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

If you’re as old as me, you remember the 1990s Nickelodeon cartoon Doug. The children in the show listened to a music group “The Beets”, a hybrid of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Ramones, and The Clash.
Here are some real people dressing up like The Beets and singing to their songs “I Need Mo’ [...]

Something I discovered a long time ago but don’t think I posted until today

Amazing HD Quality Evanescence Video

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Breathe…

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

There’s a song I like to listen to called “Please” by Nine Inch Nails. The chorus comes in with a sharp buzz (including his screechy voice), like a surge of electricity. Every time I hear it, I can feel that I’m inhaling my second wind on a day in high school when I was heavily [...]

Nostalgia hurts.

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I cannot stop thinking lately about this one time in my life, just before and at the beginning of my college education.
