Today's Headaches! I mean...Music

It's official. I hate today's music. After hearing someone refer to Nicki Minaj as a lyrical angel, you'd think I'd be able to withstand anything. But earlier this evening I was taking a shower and listening to the usual crap music on our station. It was a decent line up so far, with Pink's "Get the Party Started" topping my list....when suddenly, a song I had never heard before came on! It was a little slow, and opened with a crappy guitar solo part, but I kept my hopes high!!! The rest of the song consisted of a stereotypical skinny non-hipster-defined-yet-still-trying-to-be-without-sounding-like-a-douche-but-still-totally-douche"ish" sounding guy singing "I just want you to know who I am" over and over and over and over and OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! Seriously man, just tell me it once, tell me your name, and I'll not have wasted three and a half minutes of my life to your bullcrap.

 Apparently, this song was a huge hit in 1999 by the Goo Goo Dolls...so it's not necessarily new, but I'll bet anything that this is the source of douchebag sound today. Having never heard it, I presumed it was just another copycat song. But I'm also sticking with my earlier judgement! This song sucks, and I was 100% right for flipping off my radio the entire time.

On a side-note sneak peek into my world: I'm starting a song again! With very limited results, I have pieced THIS together.

"My resolve has resolved to stop holding me up/Gravity's not all that is holding me down"

COMMENT CHALLENGE: If there is anyone reading this, help me to stop sounding like a whiny teenage boy getting his first period (and that was a joke, I know perfectly well how reproductive organs work).

Crushes...

Is there anything wrong with a 15-year old girl who's attracted to a 33-year old man, a 36-year old man, and a man that's in his fifties? My answer: No.

33-year old Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He looks so sweet and innocent, you almost think he's not a player!

36-year old Redfoo. He's talented...and he's sexy and we all know it...Just not in this picture xP

Oh god....Robert Downey Jr....No words, just drool.

So, yeah, older men can be hot. But as a teenager I get a lot, and I mean A LOT of flak for not being lovey for Lautner, or pumped up for Pattinson. I like my men as men, not boys. And when there's this much beauty in these three guys, you can almost forget that Joseph's a playboy who's probably hurt a lot of girls, Redfoo sings (in almost every song) about how much **** he's getting, and Robert DJ was addicted to drugs. Almost. And with that said, today's quote! "Love has no age; Lust has no expiration date" (I would cite someone for saying it, but I came up with it)

Oh, and an insight into my personal life: I just saw the Hunger Games movie! And I loved it, except for the wolves at the end. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HUMAN EYES, PEOPLE!

About Teenage Engagements....and Sex.

Sadly...an engagement can have two meanings. It has come to my attention that the teens where I live are whores. And my seminar in health won't do anything to change that!!! "Today we are going to talk about sex. Not everyone is doing it you know, but in your area there is one of the highest amounts of STDs and pregnancies." A bit of an oxymoron, don't you think?! And that's not even the worst of what I'm talking about. Some of these teens (who are lucky enough not to get infected or pregnant) are GETTING ENGAGED!

It's one thing to lose something precious to someone in a moment of passion. It's a beautiful thing to love them and stay with them after that, and to stay for as long as the relationship lasts. It is an entirely different thing to get engaged, with or without sexual intercourse in high school. You are committing yourself to that person and you have no IDEA what they intend because you can't read their minds! And I know I sound like a cynic, but mind you, this is coming from someone whose friends are wondering how I haven't frozen to death with my head all the way up in the clouds. But I have to wonder what is wrong with these people...but since I have nothing else to rant about, and I'm getting a little sick already of the idea of daily quotes, here's something fantastic. These are all real places....and here's the link if you wish to see a larger version: http://9gag.com/gag/2556573 (although I actually found it on pinterest)

Nutella?!

So on every funny meme site (yes I'm one of those people), there seems to be this fixation with Nutella. I have never had Nutella before. Lemme show you an example....http://www.ragestache.com/view/comic/41307 and that's just ONE example!!! So, two questions. 1: "Dafuq" is with Nutella?! 2: On a scale of one to ten, how much do you like it? (again, presumably wrongfully assuming there are those that read this) That's all I have for today, but tomorrow's post features innuendos and...insert cliffhanger here.

*EDIT: Sorry for the lies, tomorrow's post really doesn't feature innuendos. It was going to, but I got too lazy.
And Just saying, out of around 10 friends I asked, three of them had actually tried Nutella. Two of them liked it and one....didn't have nice things to say...

You know, as an aspiring songwriter, I hit a few roadblocks every now and then. Right now I'm trying to write a happy song that DOESN'T suck worse than Nicki Minaj's Stupid Hoe. But my mind's dead! In fact the only ideas I even have are for songs called Sweet Panic and The Feeling of Sunshine. And those are just the titles! So if I do happen to have any readers...help?!

The only other news for today is the quotes, so let's get to it! I don't know where this quote came from, but it's definitely a keeper :) And so with that, I'd like to remind any people that I will not be posting this weekend, I have a trip planned to the Twin Cities! Love you all, buh-bye!

WELCOME TO THE FIRST EVER POST FOR.....Rising Star of the Week! (doing it early this week because of travel) Now, with luck I'll be posting it every Saturday (unless I become neglectful). And, if you've read earlier posts, you know the obvious answer for this week's Star goes to Stephanie Mabey, an indie pop artist hailing from Utah. As of yet, she's not as big as some of the showcased women we have running our musical industry, but unlike lyrics that say, "U a stupid hoe" her lyrics talk about dreams, love, and my favorite, zombies :) Check out this video, for Wake Up Dreaming! A big kudos to Ms. Mabey this week, and hopes that she'll make it big!

An Anecdote On Eye Boogers and Pinky Hickeys

So recently I got a job, one that won't interfere with school. And I got a little more hooked on Stephanie Mabey's songs, but that's a stalker story for another time. But it involves babysitting three little hell'yuns at my  friend's house for an hour a day. But, while over there, I ended up falling asleep with the kids at nap time and the youngest one (a near-newborn!!!) was sucking on my pinky when I woke up! She was fast asleep, so I withdrew it and recoiled in horror. I had a hickey on my pinky. Which is probably the weirdest place to have one, but I suppose that's the joy of being a hipster wannabe. Even when you're not trying to be hipster, you're trying to be hipster. (Making the joke because the whole 'hipster stereotype' is that they say they get things before it was popular/cool, so I got a pinky hickey before they were cool...not a strong joke, but better than fart humor)

Another story: After waking up, I put the baby in her crib and looked over in the mirror, to see how much my eye-makeup was smeared. But when I looked in the mirror, I saw a plethora of BLACK EYE BOOGERS. Now, mind you, I'm not superstitious (not very), but I did read somewhere that they meant you were dreaming of death. So....while holding a baby , I was dreaming about death?! Well, it's apparent I have some issues, but happily, one of them is NOT being lazy in posting :) And as I have just been tricked by my mother into taking a melatonin strip (like breath strips, but containing sleepy junk), I'm going to go....But, before I do....quote of the day!!! And...picture of the day, I suppose...with that done, good night all!

Hey! Well this is kind of what happens. Two posts in a day, then nothing for awhile...just warning the select few that will read this. But today's topic is none other than music! As a songwriter it's kind of an obligation of mine to like it, but I have a few recent favorites, like Bodywork. Sung by Morgan Page featuring Tegan and Sara, this song is so amazing that I'm listening to it even as I write this.







Another amazing song is The Zombie Song by Stephanie Mabey. Not even kidding, this chick has some serious talent for songwriting. And if you're into listening to music not a lot of people know about...it's for you. As are all of her songs. My best friend Shelby (Who I'm in a band with :D) only even found it due to her obsession with the flesh-eating creatures. But it does kick some serious ass and is totally sweet.





Adore the band, adore the guy, adore the songs! Brendan Yurie from Panic at the Disco...insane pipes, insane lyrics, insane sexiness. You get it. I adore it all, and it's pretty insane. But don't take my word for it, be smart and press the giant play button!









And finally, we come to my favorite group ever! I had a lot of others i would add into this blog including MCR, FATM, and others that would be impossible to anagram. But nothing compares to S.R.D. or Safe Route Down. My two best girlfriends and I started it a year ago, and it's mainly up to me to write lyrics, Shel to come up with ideas, and Mandi to think up the music. Sure I won't deny we suck, but it's because we've only met a few times! We all have kick-butt vocals and are futilely trying to make it big. But we don't even care about all that. We spend over half of our band meetings laughing and loving having an excuse to hang out :)




Well, that's all I've got for today, unless.....*poof* a quote! Oh do tell us, Allison! Very well, the quote is: "Don't be a carbon copy of one of God's great creations. Suck it up and be yourself." And with that, I say, have a good afternoon, readers, and don't be afraid to follow me if you exist somewhere out there! I won't delete you.....even if you're.....Belgian. Belgians rule.

Welcome!!!

So I've had a lot of blogs crash and burn. You know why? I suck at writing. True story. As well as that, I made a lot of them when I was younger and people had a harder time of relating to me. Sad story. As well as that, my blogs are too short. Short story. (stop me if : 1. This begins to sound weird, and 2: You can reach through the internet, through my laptop and pull my head into my computer in an epic facepalm....errr...facecomputer-smash thing.) I'm not going to write anymore today, simply because I don't know any other way to be honest and convince you that reading this won't convince you I'm crazy. In conclusion: Welcome to "A Little More Than Nothing" which is really just a little more than a time waster, but the internet must know what I'm thinking. Thanks for reading!
