So I normally don't post on here anymore (lol clearly) but I just had to because OMG STARGATE ATLANTIS IS ON RIGHT NOW & ELIZABETH IS STILL HERE OMG YAY.

Just thought you should know. =]

A couple of months ago, I had a mini two day photoshoot with some friends of mine. The first day, we just hung out at my friend Samantha's house & took a bunch of pictures in her backyard. The second day, we went to go take pictures at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. That's where this is from. We spent most of the time there walking around, looking for the lake & not realizing it was right by where we started, haha. Out of all the photos from the second day, the ones by the lake were my favorite. I kind of just sat by this tree next to the lake, playing ukulele (I named it Rafiki XD). My friends started taking pictures & it just turned out really amazing. It's kind of me in a nutshell: me sitting around & doing something related to music - either listening or playing an instrument. I like to fancy myself as a rather simple person. Give me a musical instrument to play & I'll be content.

That is all.

I'm kind of disappointed in Manning Bowl II. I was expecting this to be a higher scoring game. On BOTH sides. The Colts are leading 31-7 & the 4th just started. I'm kind of sad about this. =[

Random football update, wot?

And I got 8 hours of sleep last night after running on an hour & a half nap all day yesterday. AND I found out that I now get to work 9 hours a week instead of only 3 hours. Although, the only downside to that is that I start working Monday afternoons & I won't know when I'm off work. Might miss [H]ouse. Oh well, I record it. Life is good.

This song makes me want to dance.

I seriously can’t stop listening to this song. I wasn’t lying when I said I adored this guy. He’s seriously all sorts of awesome. This is how I described him (& his music) to a friend: ‘it’s like everything I like all wrapped up in one person. It’s crazy.’ I really need to see him live. I have two versions of this song, the recording I posted & the original recording. I like this one better because it feels more real. Usually, I’m a little iffy on live recordings, but at other times, I tend to prefer them because it seems more powerful, more emotional. This is one of those times. At one point of the song, his voice just sounds so filled with longing, it’s amazing. I absolutely love the entire feel. For the lack of other words to use, it just feels real. And it’s beautiful.

I've honestly got all caught up with using tumblr, that I've been neglecting this - sorry guys. But ah, I love this photo so much. I haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately, but this is probably my favorite out of what I have taken.



Lemme know if you know where it's at! =]
&& this is really happening - I'm watching The Longshots with my dad right now. Perseids tonight. I'm excited.

If you got a pen and a pad, put your heart down
If you got a record and can grab, lay your scratch down
If you got a marker and a can, bomb whole damn town
But If you live for hip hop, don't ever put your hands down

Whenever people ask me what kind of music I listen to, I used to respond with a simple 'everything.' But it's not that simple. And when I thought about it, I came to the realization that I hate it when people say they listen to everything, because while you may listening to a lot of different things, there's no way you can really listen to everything because there's always gonna be a genre you probably don't like. So when I used to tell everybody that I listened to everything, that was in fact a lie because I don't listen to country very much (at all, really) or what my old flatmate used to call 'kill your mom' music.

I'm pretty sure you can tell, I listen to a lot of different genres - rap/hip-hop/r&b, jazz, rock, indie, blues, pop, soundtracks, gypsy(ish) - A LOT. So I tell people that I have a rather eclectic taste in music. But I grew up listening to hip-hop, r&b, & rap - that genre. After a while, I grew sick of it - all I heard was the same thing over and over again. Emcees stopped spitting rhymes that meant something & started rapping about money and hos and all that other shit. As the years went on, I got back into it, realizing that there WERE some rappers out there who spit wisdom in their lyrics. I just recently discovered Macklemore (thanks J.R. Celski, worrrrdddd) & swear, this guy is brilliant. Absolutely amazing. Look at these words, this is real.

I don't know if its the clothes the hos or the cars
that make people rap like they're trapped inside these bars
This shit ain't complicated man just be who you are
To busy searching for the light missing the fact that you're a star
Now whose got passion stand the hell up
Cause I want to hear somebody rapping whose got it inside their cuts
Now you can get intricate displaying your fancy cadences
But if you're not speaking the truth you might as well be saying shit

THAT'S JAMMIN'!
