Because life's more fun under critical analysis

There is beauty in music. When I pre-order a CD on iTunes, it’s like magic on the morning that it starts to download, when it’s officially out.

Jason Mraz just released his new live CD, Jason Mraz’s Beautiful Mess- Live on Earth. Being an admirer of his music anyways, I knew I would like this CD before even hearing it. But I’ll be honest, when I woke up this morning, I didn’t expect to fall in love. Read More…

[Day 75] Band of Horses

Dear Julia Nunes,

I found you on YouTube only a few days ago, and I’m already in love with your music. Thank you for not being shy about your talent and your gift. The world needs to hear this music. Read More…

[Day 42] The Meaning of Life

Speech and debate pretty much consumes my life. Everything is so… empty without it. I love the people, the events, and the overall feeling that comes with it. I am a narcissist, so hearing my own voice is always nice, I am argumentative, which is helpful for debating, and I am dramatic, which is great for my second event, poetry interpretation. Read More…

[Day 27] Stalking Liam Aiken

Photo 327In 2006, a band came out with an album. I found this band through the MySpace profile song of a friend that I’d never actually met. After that initial listen, I knew what I must do. I said to myself, I must buy this album. So I did. This band is called Boys Like Girls. Read More…

Dear Jason Mraz,

*insert project details here* Photo 276

Romantic and social success eludes me for some reason. In turn, this has caused me to lose faith in myself for everything else in my life. I don’t trust myself to be able to hold onto a friendship or even a halfway decent appearance anymore. I’ve been lying to myself for a long time now, pretending to be something I’m not in order to slide under the radar. It’s gotten to the point where I find myself staring into the mirror, loathing what I see and what I won’t let anyone else see. This self-inflicted emotional torture has done and will do me no good.

Baby, don’t hurt me. [too late] Fun fact: my high school’s graduating class of ’09 used that song for their graduation song. Thoughts? I think it’s dumb.
