for...ummmm

So I was searching for some song lyrics today on google and got a little lost. Let me explain. I hit the search button and got lots of results but nothing that told me who the artist was. I was about to try again when the first result in the page caught my eye. Here's the line I'm talking about:

All girls at my school are pretty much materalistic snobby race mixing whores. ... with people of the same interests, maybe a hobby with mostly whites. .... My current girlfriend was dating someone else when I met her, .... So if you lived in Germany, how would you act different to what you do now? ...

In my head I was thinking, "wow, that sounds a tad bit racist...I wonder what kind of forum this is from". So of course I decided to check it out. I opened the thread and started reading this forum about how this kid couldn't find any nice smart white girls to date at his school so he was asking for advice on how to find some. Here are some of the responses other people left:

Yeah I know what your saying. All girls at my school are pretty much materalistic snobby race mixing whores. :(

My advice to you is to first avoid the non-white friends. No smart and decent white girl will be attracted to you because of your company. Try to befriend only other whites and tell them that you are looking for this and this type of white girl. They may be able to set you up with blind dates

Get your education on. Work out. Fake a high confidence.

Be a man, fulfill all the clichès (cool look, guitar, whatever works, poetic lines that strike home).

So I was extremely interested in what the hell this site was where all these kids were getting together and talking like this, so I clicked the link to their home page and low and behold it was a youth forum for White nationalists! This is not the first time I have stumbled across one of these sites. It creeps me out every time to think that there are actually people who have these fucked up ideals and views that get on their computers and spread their racist bullshit everywhere. Really gets my panties in a bunch.

online homework

Alright, I know that online homework is probably a teachers best friend nowadays. No more grading papers by hand. No printing out assignments and all that other bullshit.

But I am thoroughly fed up with doing two hours of homework and then checking the next day, only to find non of it was recorded. How do you prove that?! There's no paper trail. It's not like I turned it in and got a shit grade. I did it and got full credit and now have to start all over!

And if you've ever used an online homework site you know exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe I'm just an analog boy living in a digital world, and I sound like someone's grandpa right now but seriously...fuck online homework.

In other news...If you like Sufjan stevens and hip-hop, you should go check out this free remix album from TOR:

It's got some good tracks with some awesome artists.

turnin twenty two in twenty days...

I haven't

Got anything important to talk about. So I think I will just ramble.

I'm extremely excited for Julian Casablancas new album to come out on the 3rd! If you don't know he is the lead singer of The Strokes and while they were on their musical hiatus he decided to write an album. From what I've heard so far it is very 80's driven and I LIKE THAT! Besides the artwork for it is awesome. Here are some promos:





Other than that I guess I will share some music that I can't get enough of lately:

1. Camera Obscura-French Navy
2. Camera Obscura-The Sweetest Thing
3. Julian Casablancas-11th Dimension
4. Mayer Hawthorne-Just Ain't Gonna Work
5. Mayer Hawthorne-Make Her Mine
6. Sparklehorse-Little Girl (feat. Julian Casablancas)
7. Stars-This Charming Man
8. Weezer-Run Over By A Truck
9. Wu-tang-What's happening ft. Busta Rhymes
10. Felt-Woman tonight
11. John Legend-Slow dance

If you're going to check out anybody check out Mayer Hawthorne. He is this white boy from Ann Arbor who was a DJ for 12 years and then started writing soul, influenced by music his dad used to play in the car when he was a kid. He sounds like he could be Curtis Mayfields love child and I'm pretty jealous of his whole album "A Strange Arrangement" .

new stuff

hey I just wrote a little thing. thought you guys might want to hear it. It's just guitars but it is sounding very weezer-ish right now. I think i will continue with it. let me know what cha think!

Tough mornings

Today was pretty brutal getting up. It's getting harder and harder to pry myself from my down comforter and walk into the freezing bathroom to hop in a shower that only stays warm for three minutes. I feel like we completely skipped Oct and went straight to winter! Never the less I am at school, going to classes, taking notes, trying to focus as much as possible.

I am actually really stoked for winter to get here! Not so much for the cold but for the snow. I haven't gone sledding in two years and last winter wasn't exactly my most active winter. But this year I've got a whole building of people to go outside and hang out with. This is probably the most ideal living situation I could have ever imagined. I don't have to leave my apartment to hang out with all my friends at once and all i have to do is walk downstairs to see my beautiful girlfriend.

The other perk is the free meals! Lately brittany has been whipping up some pretty sweet community meals for everyone and they have been delicious! Since four of us have bridge cards now we can afford to have healthy meals together and not have to worry about running out of food. (with $200 a month how could you?!)

Nick came up Tuesday night for a surprise visit which was awesome! I love it when friends make the drive for one night to hang out since sometimes it's impossible with school. I'm looking forward to seeing Tiger! Tiger! on Oct. 30th with La Dispute. I haven't seen either band in a while and I miss going to local shows and seeing old friends.

All in all I'm pretty content right now. I've been indulging in Zombie movies lately. (I found the original dawn of the dead, the new dawn of the dead and land of the dead all for just $16!) There goes my entertainment money for the month! Oh well, totally worth it. I love my zombies!

Zombie+clown= : )

Recently Chelsea and I were having a conversation about zombies, well I was talking about zombies and Chelsea was listening to me rant, and I commented on the lack of zombie clown's in film. Now I love zombies and find them extremely fascinating, but if I ever encountered a zombie clown I would probably just wet myself and run home. So when I found out that there was going to be a zombie clown appearance in the upcoming "Zombieland" film, Well I got a little excited. Here he is in all his bloody childhood nightmare glory:

I'm realizing

that I haven't learned as much as I convinced myself I have.
