Spring Break Shenanigans

Here's a snippet of spring break '08. Too lazy to write anything or even caption it up so the pics will have to do for now. I should really start publishing more stuff though. "Maybe next time."

Project Playlist

Tag, tag, tag. So I've been tagged, unofficially, with this playlist blog activity. I, like others, have found myself in that crazy state of M.I.M.S. over the past few days. The hardest case of it hit at work during a week of slow shows. I hit that shuffle button and stumbled across songs, old and new, that made me laugh, dance, think, bob my head, toe-tap, etc. It's great to dig back into the archives and pull out one of those songs that make you say "OH! that song was the shit!" So I guess that's what I'm leaning towards in this blog. I'm delving into those songs that take you for a ride, that bring you to some distant memory, that make it so your mind can't help but to examine every emotion it can find within you. And it goes a little something like this:

#1
As Lovers Go by Dashboard Confessional. The song had me at the drums. Although it's good to think things out and go through all the motions, sometimes it's best to just go with it, put faith into something, and not allow hesitation be such a big factor.
And being with you here makes me sane,
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.
You've got wits...you've got looks...you've got passion,
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?

#2
Streets of New York by Terror Squad. Yea this is just one of those that never fail to put a smile on my face. The idea of love at first sight is captured in this jolly, head-bobber. =)
Because all I live to do is be the one He meant for you,
And what you want me to be I can be that, honey.

#3
The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson. Simplicity. It's short, sweet, and plain, but it works. A very comforting and hopeful piece. Everyone has or will find their constant, and when that happens I imagine this song playing.
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.

#4
Man On The Side by John Mayer. The waiting game at its finest. He waits until that glorious day that she has her epiphany and opens up. Beautiful.
I fell in love with a dream that I built of you,
playing the part of the queen.

#5
My Paper Heart by All American Rejects. This song gives me that bittersweet feeling that combines rapid hope loss and the constant belief that dreams are destined to become reality one of these days.
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you.

#6
Too Good To Be by New Found Glory. I hit shuffle on iTunes and there are times when NFG pops up with 4 or 5 consecutive songs. Does that ever happen to you? Well, I hope someday it does because their songs cover so much emotional ground that it's "the crazy"...yes "the crazy!"
You have my heart in your hands
You have my heart so don't, don't let it go
Check my pressure,
Patch me up right, you're too good to be.

#7
One Year, Six Months by Yellowcard. Wow. This song could probably melt the hearts of the thuggiest of thugs. I mean, how could it not? This is, without question, best song on "Ocean Avenue" and that says a lot considering how amazing the disc is. Label it what you want, but this track brings me back to a "beautiful somewhere" as they so eloquently put it.
So many nights, legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
Close up these eyes, try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through is memories of you

#8
Shoot Down The Stars by Gym Class Heroes. Uplifting and hopeful describe it best. I guess I struggle with what I plan to do with the rest of my life. I'm trying to scheme together some way to please society, my family, and myself. It's a beautiful struggle.
Shit on since the first show,
But we turned feces to fertilizer,
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow.

#9
Maxine by John Legend. No emotional attachment to this song; it just makes me sway from side to side like most John Legend tracks. A soothing lounge-type song. Easy listening if you will. It calms my nerves.
Though my mind, it might be running wild
In constant search of you
It's funny how my eyes keep seeing things my heart
Would not believe are true

#10
As Things Collide by Maroon 5. Grew to love this one. The lyrics personify feelings of confusion, hate, love, and desperation all rolled up into one big ball of bleh. Ah, the roller coaster that is love.
You have this way of meaning everything
And nothing to me
At the same time
Returning my hellos with goodbyes
'Cause I've spoken with all of the other angels
They don't know what to do
And I agree with them whole heartedly
I do

This was really therapeutic and fun. I'm disappointed in myself for taking so long to try this out, but I'm glad I finally did it. I grant you that unofficial tag now. Go, dig deep into your music folders, skim through old CDs, tapes(I guess?) and find those songs that "take you there." Music is b-e-a-utiful thing...so do it!...stay sexy.

Don't be this guy!

A piece of supplemental advice I suppose. I need to start writing more; hopefully this tiny post is gonna motivate me to put some real stuff up soon. Hahaha a buddy showed this to me earlier today and I've had it on repeat for a while now. More to come guys.
