"Should of Said No" Taylor Swift. A+ this video sucks, but it's the best I could find.
Tis the season. I went to get a Christmas Tree with AJ last night...
We need more ornaments though..
I went Christmas shopping with my mom today as well. I found a life size candy cane!!
Next I made some cream cheese brownies, which I made into a la mode sundaes, just for living. Hey it's the holidays.
And since one tree in my life wasn't enough, I went with my dad to Randall's Farm in Ludlow to get one for my parents' house. Randall's is a great spot for all sorts of things including plants, soup, baked goods, and Elsie's creamery in the summer. I also like the donkey that resides across the street.
On the bright side of things my new macbook comes equipped with a camera, this means that my weather show can finally happen!
So once I get my materials and props together everything should be a go!
In the meantime enjoy the lack of precipitation tomorrow will provide. Friday will be hellish with heavy snow, trickling into a little bit of light snow Saturday. Sunday will provide a few more snow showers with yet another small chance for one on Monday. The radars incredibly quiet right now, this clearly will change soon. I'll keep you posted.
" I know there's pain in leaving things all too well. In time, you’ll find needing things only kills you slowly. If you’re not sure who you are, you’re not alone. If you’re not sure what you want, you’re not alone. If you’re not sure of life of love, you’re not alone. Tell your friends, hey come on over and talk. You bring the drinks, I’ll bring the bad mood. Everyone feels like you." Owen
I found that on another blog, and I can't give credit to whoever's it was due to the fact that I forget. I credited the lyrics though, that's Owen.
Christmas is officially here in Boston. The Copley Sq. tree lighting was just a few hours ago, even The Apple Store has christmas decorations!
Carolers in old time holiday gear were singing Frosty the Snowman through the Prudential mall, Pictures are blurry due to me running after them
A sad attempt to capture hermovez enjoying the music:
And what would christmas time be without holiday treats?
My boyfriend killed Frosty before I got to snap a pic of him... What a Scrooge!
I purchased an advent calendar from Trader Joe's as well,
I'm a little behind so I'll have to get snacking on those missed days!!!!
Christmas music I think people would enjoy:
Anything from the compilation "Maybe this Christmas" **** ***red dots mean I think these songs are A+
Among others, I would suggest all the songs from the Love Actually Sountrack...
and this scene which is so incredibly lame, but so incredibly good.
Her Movez and Ollie: You can tell he would rather be resting in my arms due to his expression.
Great news! My digital camera is still under warranty! This means: No more Blackberry Rim terrible quality photos w00t!
Because really afterall catching moments like this:
Need to be translated through mas pixels.
Onwards to less (if you can believe it) important things!
Like how I want to be

So Thanksgiving was this past week, I made my way back to wmass, which was fine with me because Boston in the rain is not so fun.
So Wednesday morning I sped off.
and look who I found,
:) Among other friends I haven't seen in a while. Well I use the term friends loosely, I'd like to substitute it with the term classmates. However I did see my friends as well.
Old classmates please drop all your pens, don't write a word cause I won't reply. And I'm not bitter, no It's just I've passed that point in time.
Let's find some new music... I need something hip to get me on my feet and moving this week...hmmm
And instead of making a playlist and listing artists and song titles, after feedback I've decided that posting youtube vids is easier, Not everyone is as fortunate as myself to possess a Waffles account...
Friendly Fires- Jump In The Pool
The Good Life- Album of the year (live) A good find I'd say
I despise being in a musical rut. All the songs I used to play on repeat sound like shit...shit.
The Good Life never has done this to me though, esspecially anything from "Help Wanted Nights"
Tim Kasher- Empty Bed acoustic I wonder where he snagged his hat.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++and this is beautiful. Bon Iver
"After they entered the room by the balcony, played Flume, they asked once again to be closer to the audience. We could see the sun’s declining rays, and hear the noisy street, but we didn’t care, Justin was explaining that was how he wanted to play his songs. Perfect, that was how we wanted to listen to them."
If Plato believes that music limits the mind to a lower level of learning, then I'm willing to say that I disagree. Perhaps I didn't grasp "The Republic" perhaps I missed the point. But to devote a life to one absent of art, literature, poetry, and music, seems deafening. Is it sad that music destroys one's psyche? It bothers me to feel that the way I live along with everyone I know is a supposed cop out to this man. Maybe I'm just 20 years old and consumed by things that aren't important and ignorant to the though of philosophy. Perhaps.
One day my hair will be long and maybe will look something like this:
Unfortunately now I am sporting a hairstyle of a middle schooler who has gone overboard with her flat iron. I don't even use a flat iron anymore, somehow my ends still find the need to jump ship and perish at rapid rates. This is all very important in my life. It's unfortunate. Perhaps one day I will be mentally stimulated through things beyond the world of retail and hair. I blame music, really I do.
My aunt gave this coat to my mom, my mom gave this coat to me.
But will this...:
happen to me if I sport that coat? I'm concerned. Poor LL.
I'm going home tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I will be excited to see some long lost friends. I will be excited per usual to hang with my dawgs (Jack and Oliver). Lately I've been hanging with my friend Megan's dog, Beetlejuice
Things I must do soon: Get ACTIVE Buy these bootz:
scaceinyoface (12:54:47 PM): Whaaaatup carolinee ok (12:54:51 PM): Hey! scaceinyoface (12:59:37 PM): How r u? carolinee ok (12:59:48 PM): [pretty good, how are you? scaceinyoface (1:00:28 PM): Good.

...we forged in life. 'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
I went home Tuesday
I love the Mass Pike, some of my better thinking has been done on this highway. It's a good meditation tool. Last night I saw Orion's belt and the rest of him while driving home. Constellations are pretty neat. My mom always tried to tell me fun facts about stars and the planets and the stories behind them and we even got a telescope one year. Of course I was way too cool to care. Things like that make me want to go back in time and listen up,things like that make me pay attention more today. Which is a rather cliche thought, however its incredibly true. You would think that from all the movies where this lesson is learned by characters that kids would learn earlier, to the point where mankind would evolve, to listen up and realize what's truly important. This never happens though and it's because human life is not a circle its a straight line, years repeat, lives do not. No one can learn from their life because you never get a second one. Of course It's better to write the truth than to think of something questionably valid, right?
PS: I'm taking a class on existentialism so who really knows what I think.
Emma was secretly sporting some ill gear today
Yes that's a metallica shirt. Who knew?
I snagged the new T Swift album. Clearly its targeted at high school girls,there's a song about being 15 years old. With lyrics like "You could write a book on how to ruin someone else's day" it's safe to say the lyrics required little thoughts. Of course in the world of pop country I feel like you can get away with murder lyrically as long as you've got that catchy twang sound that reels in suckers like myself. Songs worth checking out on the album "Love Story" "You're Not Sorry" and "Forever and Always"
I'll stick to Patsy Cline
Which got me thinking about some music vids (well more so songs) i love
If you haven't listened to gaslight anthem yet, do so. This song off their new album '59 sound will be a good start.
This video rules, the kids in it are so good! RIP The Format. Good news is that Nate Ruess (The singer) has a new band. FUN
It's safe to say I'd give up just about anything for John Nolan to be back in Taking Back Sunday. I guess in general I'd give anything for John Nolan to crawl out of his coffin filled with depressing thoughts and acoustic guitars, Straylight Run got old reaallllllllll fast. In conclusion, I wish that John Nolan would pick up the pace, get enraged, and turn on his amp plz plz plz.
This vid needs no intro.
Here's Kevin Devine and Jesse Lacey playing KD's "Cotton Crush" Live. "Maybe we need to be hollowed to get up and grow and stop fucking around to kick off our braces and start straightening out." Which coincides with the book i just finished "The Unbearable Lightness of being" the sense of being hollowed or light implies a reflection into the duality of life in which one steps out, reflects, steps back in and grounds themselves through being weighted down. Of course it's much more complicated than that.I need to read that book at least 5 or 6 more times to really get the message, or lack there of. I guess to get the idea.
And always my favorite song ever ever ever that if you don't know I suggest you know. This video was filmed in '91 while I hate participatory crowds at shows, this was one of the best live videos i could find.
This entry wouldn't be complete without a picture of Oliver and myself. He wanted to drive my car back to Boston. I wish I let him.
My parents say that I'm lazy, getting up at 8 AMs crazy.
lately things are kind of all over the place. I'm constantly on the run. This of course all changed yesterday when I sat down after class and realized I felt close to death. Then my delirious night began. But that's okay. Being sick is a nice wakeup call, I need to slow down. I need to realize that an invitation or suggestion to hangout does not always have to be obliged. I just hate to feel I'm missing out on anything.
I'll admit it, I didn't vote. I'm not ashamed. Had I registered in time I would have voted, but I'm not one to do something I know has to be done. So I did not. Let's just say I'm pretty happy with the way things are looking.
Tonight was good. Her Movez and I met up at our favorite Starbucks in the City located on Boylston across from Lord and Taylor. I frequent this one, why? It's the biggest one, It's open till 10:30. The staff doesn't creep me out, *cough* government center *cough*, it really has a good neighborhood vibe to it. Everday I see the same people, the occassional tourists stop in, usually snagging a vacant chair from my table, I never really can hear how they ask for it, my headphones are usually buffering their request, I just nod. Then it gets awkward for them- which I've began to realize if they ask if anyone is sitting there. So now I nod and say "go ahead take it." Which is even more confusing. Oh well.
So Her Movez and I cozied up in the back, it was nice because a friend of mine was working which meant infinite hot chocolates in mugz.
My sister worked on her Graphic design final. While my mind exploded as I read "The Unbearable Lightness of being" by Milan Kundera. To use a phrase from my good friend Aarron Bloomfield "I realize I am late to that party." "A person who longs to leave the place where he lives is an unhappy person. That is why Tomas accepted Tereza's wish to emigrate as the culprit accepts his sentence, and one day he and Tereza and Karenin found themselves in the largest city in Switzerland."
"Ever since man has learned to give each part of the body a name, the body has given him less trouble. He has learned that the soul is nothing more than the gray matter of the brain in action. The old duality of body and soul has become shrouded in scientific terminology, and we can laugh at it as merely an obsolete prejudice.
But just make someone who has fallen in love listen to his stomach rumble, and the unity of body and soul, that lyrical illusion of the age of science, instantly fades away."
Let's talk about Country Pop Star Taylor Swift. I love her! Always have since I heard "Our Song" about a year ago. Her new album drops the 11th. I cant wait. The first single is really catchy. It has the same attraction as Rascal Flat's "What Hurts the Most" in a way that I can't express with words. So here's a video that features the first single "You're Not Sorry" This song also happens to be #1 on Itunes.
Bonus Halloween Pic: Thanks Gil for ruining another moment of my life.
Listen to Northstar's cover of Jawbreaker's "Chesterfield King"
Or just listen to anything by Northstar.
You were waiting on your step, steam showing off your breath and water in your eyes. We pulled each other into one, parkas clinging on the lawn and kissed right there.
I wrote such a beautiful book for you
'Bout rainbows and sunshine and dreams that come true
But the goat went and ate it
(You knew that he would)
So I wrote you another one fast as I could
Of course, it could never be nearly as great
As that beautiful book that the silly goat ate
So if you don't like this new book I just wrote--
Blame the goat.
-- Shel Silverstein
