I'm Bringing It Back


so yeah, i didn't plan on posting anything tonight, but tomorrow is a cuhhhrazyyy day for me, so i won't be able to post till wed. So here i am! Its strange how i never realized how much free time i used to have, and i never took advantage of it, whether it be spend time with loved ones, or in my case, former loved ones haha, or just not be productive. Every second of free time i have now, i'm either checking remixes and covers i receive, working out, playing the guitar, or doing homework.
It's strange for me to say this, but i'm perfectly content with my life right now. And i'm enjoying it, which is the most important thing for me right now.
Have you ever just had the feeling that someone is thinking about you? It's weird, but i really felt that earlier tonight...And it was weird because my mom came and told me the same thing...
Tomorrow i register for classes...i'm sooo happy it looks like i'm going to get every class i need/want. And two days yet again. Spring quarter not only will mark the end of my general education, but possibly my last quarter at cal poly? wow.
Ok tonight, i have a randommmm hilarious cover of jt, from this great band called rock plaza central who sound remarkably similar to the mountain goats. I hated it the first time i heard it, but then i just started laughing uncontrollably. listen to it! And the other is a band i wish to death were playing coachella, but they aren't, so whatever, its klaxons and their song golden skans being covered by the kaiser chiefs! enjoy! see you all wed night...

Boys Don't Cry


wow, its late...or early? ha well i don't have much to say tonight, but i found a couple cool covers i thought i would post. Geez, when i started this blog i was expecting to post mostly remixes, but it seems like i have posted more covers then anything, what can i say? I respect a new sound to a great song...
btw, who picked jack johnson as who they want to see at coachella? haha, i hope you did it just to piss me off...
wow, its nice that i am gaining weight again, but not in fat, its all muscle! yessss. And yet i still have a size 28 waste? wow.
Happy President's Day! I have such a busy day tomorrow, its nice though.
I still haven't told my mom my intent of leaving cal poly...i'm scared!
Anyways, this morning i have a couple very interesting covers. one is a classic cure song, made acoustic, by some german dude. And the other is a very interesting take on the AMAZING lcd song "all my friends," by none other then the man who started World War 1, FF. Have a great day!

You'll Never Be Alone Again...


so i spent the day in San Diego today, so beautiful, i loved it. There is something about the atmosphere down there that is just uplifting, its hard to describe.
there is something i have been thinking about for a longgg time and i never thought about it seriously until recently. But i think now, i am pretty damn sure of myself. I... am actually going to transfer schools. There is something about my school that just has never felt right, i love Cal Poly, but i feel in order to experience college and grow as an individual i need to leave here. I already know where i'm going, and i'm almost guaranteed admission. I'm not going to mention where i am going, but it is in California, but far from here. I can't explain how strongly i feel about this, i've always wanted to do it, but i always had a girlfriend that i never wanted to leave, but now that is no longer in my way. If you want to know where i am going, just ask, just understand it is perfect for me and i can't wait for fall (if there are no problems).
Okay, so tonight i have a couple really fun covers, both having to do with ben gibbard somehow. Ben covering mj? wowwww, and a postal service cover! Enjoy.

Woke Up, Got Out Of Bed...


so yeah Valentines Day was weird sitting at home, but i was perfectly fine with it strangely. I mean sure i wish i had someone to spend it with, but i was happy with sitting at home watching Lost and playing guitar alone. haha. But then my friend came over and we played rock band till the wee hours of the morning. So overall, i was happy with the day. If there is something that people with broken hearts can't do, its mope around and wish they had something that wasn't there. Hell, i had my cat jackson, and my mom so who the hell cares? Be appreciative of what's in front of you, not what's behind you...
And hell, when you can sit around and learn to play "Yesterday" by the beatles on guitar, and drink your naked juice (AHH!!) then i have to consider that a fun night...
I find it amazing that i have had fast food twice in an entire month! and both times just a little bit of del taco...crazyyyy i never thought i could do that, but i stopped drinking soda altogether too, all i drink is water or naked juice....which i am obsessedddd with.
i need to get a digital camera before coachella! maybe my dad has one? hmmm
Ok tonight i have a couple funnn songs. One is yet another remix from RAC, and is one of my favorite shins songs ever. And the other is my favorite bloc party song everrrr covered by the amazing mystery jets. Have a great Saturday everyone!

"I'm Everything A Girl Could Need..."


Happy Valentines Day. I used to look forward to this day every year, its always so special for a couple, but tonight, it looks like i'm just sitting at home. It's kind of hard to comprehend. If you asked me in December if i would be alone on Valentines Day, i would've thought you were crazy...but that's life i guess.
Ok, well the day my girlfriend broke up with me, i made her a mix of some great love songs, and since the relationship ended, i never got the chance to give it to her. So I have soooo many more of these types of songs, but i don't know if i'll ever release them...i'll keep you updated.
Everyone please, even if you aren't in a relationship, give someone you care about a hug, because things like that make this holiday bearable for people like me...haha.
Is it weird that i really really want to spend time with my ex gf's family? Like more then i want to spend time with her... It's so strange when you get used to seeing certain people after awhile, and to all of a sudden stop, is a dramatic loss.
Sorry the songs i am posting are all m4a...meaning you can't preview them, but take my word, they are beautiful! you will enjoy, seriously. And don't be worried they aren't viruses i am giving you, haha.

Peace and Love

So yeah. i bought my 3 day coachella pass today. I only wanted to go to night 2 and 3, but individual days are sold out, so i had to buy the 3 day. I don't care for night 1, no matter how much i wanna see datarock or cut copy, i just absolutely HATE jack johnson, like john mayer hate haha. So if you or anyone you know is looking for a night 1 single pass, email me, and i'll get back to you.
So i had my first savate class tonight, and my knuckles are bleeding, and my feet are completely bruised. But although it hurts, i love it, its the best kind of pain. It was great, and i'm looking forward to eventually going to france to compete! ahhhh
I rather not bring this up, as i'm attempting to forget, but i have received an enormous amount of emails regarding what happened between my girlfriend and i. I know i never mentioned it, because i didn't think anyone cared to hear about it, but since i have received a lot of feedback, i thought i would just post what happened on here as opposed to individual emails to a bunch of people. Well i'll just give the short version.
My girlfriend and i were together for four years. I loved her more then anything, but i guess it wasn't enough. Well recently in the past few months a mutual friend of ours began hanging out with us b/c him and his girlfriend recently broke up, so we thought we would be nice and let him hang out with us, plus he seemed like a pretty cool guy. Well i have always trusted my gf more then i had ever trusted someone in my life, and i knew that before she started going out with me she had a crush on this guy for a longggg time. But i thought she loved me so i thought nothing of it. Plus, after all of those years, he neverrr liked her back. So i thought i was safe. Well many years later, my girlfriend developed from a beautiful girl, to an amazingly beautiful woman, right in front of my eyes, and i guess his too. Well something happened in the past couple months that is unclear, but apparently he saw that she grew boobs and a butt, and decided that he all of a sudden liked her. So somehow he let her know, and i guess that crush was still there, and i was swapped...after all my years of loyalty and love. Its that simple. True love...i guess not.
I've also received a couple emails about if she reads my blog. Well i am pretty sure she doesn't read it, i never mentioned it to her or anything, and if she is trying to forget me, i doubt she goes on here, so yeah. And there is no way he reads it, bc if he did, i would talk a bunch of shit...haha no i wouldn't, because i've already forgiven them both. Seriously.
Well tomorrow is my big v-day post, with 3 adorable songs for you to sing to your loved one for thursday, but tonight i am just posting a couple random songs, one is a smiths cover! yay!! and the other is a band i've heard a lot of recently, very impressive, think tokyo police club meets okkervil river.

Whateva, I Do What I Want!

ahh! this will be me in a couple months...

yay. So yes, i am going to coachella, nights 2 and 3. I just can't pass up the chance to miss justice again, but i would love to see hot chip, and death cab perform some new material. So that's pretty exciting. I'm happy midterms are over, so now i just have to look forward to finals and term paperssss. I can't believe the quarter is already half over...I'm happy now because i can sleep a full night with no pills, but the bad thing is i have my appetite back, meaning i want to eat a lot, but since i'm so not used to eating now, i still don't... i really should put a few lbs on though, so maybe my pants will fit again. Tomorrow is my first savate class, yeahhhhh, wish me luck.

Sorry not a lot of amazing music tonight, because i have spent a lot of time looking for music to post for valentines day for all you lovebirds out there. But i still have a couple good ones. The first is a great hot chip remix of a rolling stone song, and the other is a hilarious cover of the salt n' pepa song "push it" by the nice husband and wife team, the rosebuds. Funny thing though, you can totally tell a white girl is singing it, its so much fun! get it!
