The stuff of life.
Not sure if this is some kind of exercise in others evaluating my coolness, but I saw a hashtag on Twitter, and who can ignore those? My #First20SongsonShuffle: 1. Weezer – Say it Ain’t So If you don’t like this song, you are crazy. 2. Thrush Hermit – Skip the Life We’re doing great so far – indie kid cred up the wazoo, at least for the late ’90s. 3. Metric – On the Sly I like Metric but I can’t say I’ve listened to… Continue reading
Skip this post if you’re not into the reality shows, kids. Some might say I have a few too many awful television guilty pleasures. The important part is that they are all seasonal competition shows, so I view them about once a week for a couple months at a time and it’s not interfering with exercise and reading, my two other big hobbies (of the year so far). Okay, enough justification. I said it last year. If they vote this guy off, I will never… Continue reading

If you ever want to make sure I’m happy and crying at the same time, play this song around me: The Flaming Lips – Do You Realize Share the post “Saturday Night” FacebookPinterestShare…Email Continue reading
Not that I’m risking ‘cred-loss’ by posting crappy songs on my blog, but I don’t want to come sifting back through old entries in a week and chance self-loathing. So I won’t post ’em. Let’s just say that there are a lot of awful songs that I would never otherwise listen to that often describe the bland feelings of the masses quite accurately, and although I don’t often feel like I’m part of said masses, here we are! Instead, I’m going to post a few… Continue reading
Welcome, little kid. Now grow old and optimistically-cynical and appreciate my blog! But seriously, isn’t she adorable? I mean, even if you don’t know her personally. You have to admit it. Oh, you won’t? Well my knee hurts. I don’t know, maybe it’s my veins again, but it could also be a pulled muscle. What? Oh right, the baby. Yeah, she’s a cutie.

Fleet Foxes – The Shrine / An Argument I almost die every time I listen to them, which is usually when we’re on the cottage road up north, which is not good because there are always bears or moose jumping out in front of you to demonstrate their largeness. These guys are truly incredible. I feel like if I had died without ever hearing them, I would have missed out on something very beautiful. Now that I’m [not quite] done being emotive and wonderful, you… Continue reading
More and more I realize I need people to chide me for motivational purposes. If only I could get into the habit of taunting myself when I think negatively or when I don’t take 30 minutes a day to exercise, or when I don’t sit down and write something for that matter. In terms of New Year’s Resolutions, I deemed I would be more DEMONSTRATIVE. So far, so good there, although it’s creating a negative impact in some areas. When you express yourself, you accept… Continue reading

Ungodly – Adverb describing the hour or more before daybreak where you are awake because your house is a raging inferno of heat (or you wore too many layers of clothing to bed – more likely). Oh, North American dilemmas. Dilemmae? Whathaveyou. Aside: Sometimes I feel like this site should be called Bracketose, but then there’d go the element of wordplay. Anyway I am up and that’s just great. (Interpret as desired.) The sun is starting to crack through the sky into this part of… Continue reading
