Breaking My Mind


Mine and my dad's song. Love it. Listen to it.

Music Spot

Kelly Clarkson...
...is back with after a long break with a new hit off her upcoming CD "My December". Never Again is a great start for a single to a hopefully pretty rad CD.

Mandy Moore...
...is back as well with an amazing sounding new record to be released June 19th, 2007! Three songs off her new album are featured on her Myspace: "Extraordinary", "All Good Things", and "All That You Are". Her soft voice is soothing and her CDs have only been getting better and better!

Gym Class Heroes...
...I don't know what it is about these guys. I didn't like them when I first heard their song, "Cupid's Chokehold", but it slowly grew on me and now I think GCH's is a great new indie band with a unique sound and good songs. My current favorite is "The Queen and I", located (of course) on their Myspace page.

Hawthorne Heights...
...has one of the best sounds I've heard. I think they have a great sound that is shown in each song. Their most popular song, "Ohio is for Lovers" is classic and their newer songs are even better. Check 'em out.

Relient K...
...Ohio produces some great bands. That's all I can say about the last two bands I've talked about. Relient K is just fun to listen too. What's funny is that I first heard about them about 5 years ago on some random indie channel on TV when I had 2348734 channels and I've been addicted ever since.

Now that I've come across two fantastic Ohio bands, I began a search for bands and solo artists that originated in Ohio and just plain rock. I introduce to you the following:

Hawthorne Heights, Dayton Ohio
The Devil Wears Prade, Dayton Ohio
Relient K, Canton Ohio
Saving Jane, Columbus Ohio
Bone Thugs N Harmony, Cleveland Ohio
John Legend, Springfield Ohio
Hootie and the Blowfish, Fort Lormaine Ohio
Ray Charles, Rocky River Ohio
Blessed Union of Souls, Cincinnati Ohio
KC & JoJo, Eldorado Ohio
Over the Rhine, Cincinnati Ohio
Kane, Columbus Ohio
David Allan Coe, Cincinnati Ohio

Hot Chip...
...Straight out of London comes this unique pop group with a sound of their own. They are definitely worth a listen to if you are interested in a more Euro-pop sound.

Yacht...
...I'm in love with this band. They are fun, upbeat, and offer a much needed new sound in the same shit I listen to everyday. Their songs are definitely the ones that I listen to while I'm getting ready to go out. "Hock it YACHT Remix" is number one on my playlist right now, but all their songs are equally as good.

Flogging Molly...
...You can't be Irish and not like Flogging Molly. They are just fun and I loooove them.

Ok, I'm done raving about some of my favorite bands and good finds.

Dignity


Kind of random and rather pathetic to admit -- But I'd really like to own Hilary Duff's new album, Dignity (which opened at #4) . Let it be known that I DO have a wide range in music, but I often find myself enjoying the most random of artists. Hell, I'm obsessed with the Olsen twins and I'm 6 months older than them. Pathetic.

I just got off work and since it's a beautiful day today I think I'll grab a good book and go outside and read. It's rare that I can get the opportunity to grab a James Patterson book and sit down and get in a good read. I started one of his newer books, "CROSS" before Spring Break and I just haven't been able to finish it. I love James Patterson and his character, Alex Cross, and I'm determined to finish this book before the end of April, if not sooner! I actually just finished a book that my mum got me a while back called "The Complete Slayer" which was an unofficial guide to every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That show was my all time favorite and over the years I've collected random books and all the seasons. The book I finished, though, was huge and I tried to read at least one or two blurbs on the episodes everyday. I love random fact books, now I feel so much smarter in random pop culture trivia.

Sara is coming over at 3:30 and her and I are going to run to the bank and hang out for the rest of this fantastic Friday. I'm pretty excited that tonight is power hour over at Quarters, it's always a blasty blast. A couple of my work friends said they were going to stop by so I know that tonight will only get better. One of my roommates for next year, JB, said that they were having people over tonight so Sara and I will probably stop by over there if we don't go to the D.Chi party since it's right down the street for Quarters. I miss partying with those boys, so I'll probably make my way over to the Delta Chi shindig.

I feel the urge to read.

She's Like the Wind



Sweet ass.

A Blank Expression

I turned in my fabulous paper that I slaved away at for three hours last night today. I wrote about how social relationships between the lower classes, plebeian classes, and elitist of colonial Mexico City controlled the stabilization of the colonial regime over the government's regulations. It was a solid 10 pages long and pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. It was actually a fun paper to write. Why is it that I enjoy writing papers but I can't put that energy into other homework and tests? It just doesn't make any sense. I want to take a class that is purely focused on writing papers. That would be super grand.

I took my one and only class at 11:30 this morning and now I'm just sitting around bored off my ass. I don't have to work today so I'm thinking about finding some buddies to play some cornhole. Sara wants me to go to dollar wells tonight but I'm broke and I really just don't feel like drinking. I might love to party, but I don't drink all the time. Just on the weekends and Wednesday. Wednesay is an odd day, yes, to drink -- But it's ritual and it's FUN. Regardless of the drama and uncomfortable situations I may get myself into (on purpose?), I still love my Wednesdays with my girls.

Time to watch Friends.

Oh, and before I forget -- Download Lumidee's "She's Like the Wind." It's a remix of the great Patrick Swayze's song and it is my new favorite tune.
