finals

Why oh why are finals so sucky? I hate them. Facebook becomes my absolute best friend during finals week to the point where I hate IT by the time it's over, just because i've looked at it so much! This finals week, or two weeks rather, I had my friend change my password and not tell me so i couldn't get on facebook and procrastinate. it worked pretty well i should say! Apparently deleting facebook really doesnt deactivate it, it just shuts it down from other people's views but all you need to do to get on is log back in and everything is right there again! Sooo basically, you're just refraining from logging in. The password change thing was great because my friend would check my page regularly and tell me of anything urgent, and everything else just slid by as i studied my heart out. I think i found a new finals week tradition:)

cleanin

I just cleaned my parents house for money. I am officially a poor college student. The worst part is, they paid me more per hour than i make at my real, part-time job. That I have worked at for a year. Yeah. Sucks. Why does the job market make me want to crawl under a rock and hide?

metrostation

Miley Cyrus' brother sings in this band called Metrostation, right? Well, has anyone seen this kid? He is tatted up, wearing makeup, and totally a punk lookin kid. This is the kind of person Miley sees as an influence. His music is so sexual and while I love it, and it's great to dance to, it just seems strange listening to it knowing that it is Miley's brother. For some reason, Miley is stuck in my head as that cute little 12 year old that played on Hannah Montana and sang about being famous. I know that is the image she is trying to fight, and that is why she is practically stripping on national television, and has become a partier and all of that. It is just normal teenage stuff, except maybe the stripping, but her good-girl image has totally accented the contrast. Apparently her parents don't really care what she does, they just want to make money off of her, and her brother's rebel appearance seems to indicate that they didn't care with him either. I know it's everyone's prerogative to dress how they want to, but it just seems to stark a contrast to little Hannah Montana. Regardless, I still love Metrostation and think Miley is trashy:)

facebook official

How many times have i heard someone ask, "is it facebook official?" about a relationship. There is no personal connection anymore, apparently. A new relationship has to be official and up on facebook or its like it doesnt exist! Noone cares about the actual relationship, they just want to be able to "like" the new relationship. Technology's prevalence in our daily lives has reached new heights and I'm a little bit scared to see where it goes from here. Progress stops for no man!

House Music

I just turned in a paper I wrote on House music. It was for my other pop culture class and it was a pretty kickass assignment if i do say so myself. i wrote about how house music has increased in popularity lately and has totally invaded top forty pop music. Aside from my Michael Jackson papers, it was the most fun to write. I love pop culture!!

Psych

Saturday was my birthday and my brother got me the same thing he got for me last year, another season of Psych. I love that show but it is little bit uncreative if you ask me. That aside, however, the show is so good. i watched some episodes from season 3, the season he got me, and it has gotten quite a bit heavier than I remembered it. It is still funny, but there are heavier issues presented, like a guy tried to kill himself because he was terminally ill and if he died by accident, his family would get a million dollars per his life insurance policy, but if he died due to his illness they would get nothing. Sean, the psychic, found out and confronted him and tried to talk him out of it but he went through with the suicide anyway. How depressing! I still love the show but I just wonder why the show decided to go in that direction. Is that what audiences want?

bloodstream

"I think I might have inhaled you
I can feel you behind my eyes
You've gotten into my bloodstream
I can feel you flowing in me"

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER!!! A friend of mine gave me a mixed cd for my birthday this last saturday and she made her own little case cover and everything and the title of the whole mixed cd is "Bloodstream." This song inspired the whole cd!! Listening to it makes me feel inspired too it's so moving and personal and the beats just sink into your skin and you can feel it all the way down in your soul. This song is badass and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it

studying music

I am in the library studying with a group of friends and it seems imperative that we have music playing in order to study. I don't know if it is because music just helps people feel less bored or if people actually study better with it but when the music goes off someone always says it is too quiet. In our culture music is played everywhere from the car, to the office, to the restaurant, to the public restroom, and shops. There is never true silence and I think when people encounter silence, they feel uncomfortable. I know I do. I think that is proof that our society has become too media-oriented, if we can't even sit comfortably in silence.
