Cool Happy Genius Heroes

TGIF everyone!

So I'm not a depressed individual by any means but if you didn’t know me and looked at my project playlists and cd mixes you might think otherwise. This song adds to that misperception.

I don’t know much about this group, The National. Actually I don’t know anything about them, other than that they’re from Brooklyn. I haven’t even heard any of their other songs, but I really like this one "Santa Clara."

It s the kind of song you want to listen to when you’re down in the dumps. With the lights off, door closed, laying on your bed, and this song, just blaring from your stereo, on repeat… haha, ok, so once again, I’m not a sad person, but I do have my moments when I am sad and when I am, I want to listen to this song, along with "The Funeral" by Band of Horses, "Where have you been" by Manchester Orchestra, and even "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol.

Not too sure what this song is about but my prediction is that its about loved ones that have passed on and how you don't have to worry about them cuz you know they're finally at peace.

"Cool Happy Genius Heroes"

Two Hump Day tunes to Hum along to

Danity Kane's "Damaged"

As much as I try and hate Diddy and all his stupid attempts to form the ultimate girl and boy bands... I just can't. I think all his shows and business antics are brilliant. Well I guess you can hate him, but you can't deny the fact that he's a genius businessman. Same with 50 Cent and his Vitamin Water.

After watching the 2nd Season of Making the Band 4, i became a huge fan of Danity Kane and Day26 but as of right now, I cannot stop listening to "Damaged." You can probably find me at work, chair dancing along to this song non-stop for the next few weeks. It makes me want to get up and dance or take an aerobics class.... in silver spandex of course ;) Aundrea, the brunette, is my fav. i love how she has one, just one dimple.


M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes"

" This is MIA. A third world democracy. I got more records than the KGB"

MIA, real name Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam is one of the most bad ass female artists ever. She just has this edgy, "if you f*ck with me i'll kill you with my ferocious lyrics and ghetto fabulous style" vibe about her. Watch the video and you'll understand.

I heard her for the first time this past weekend when I was down in Eugene for Easter. Daniel had her album on his laptop and so i burned it from him but i'm going to go buy the album with my next paycheck. She's going to be in Portland in May. Can't wait!

Enjoy! Only 2 more days til the weeekend.

March Madness

Happy March Madness Everyone!!!

I love all the anticipation that goes into the tournament. I love filling out my bracket and comparing it with my friends. I love CBS.com and I love its Live Game Feed.

So far i'm 6 for 7 and if you wanna know, I have North Carolina winning it all. Yeah Tarheels! The NCAA tournament is so exciting i think. More exciting than any other sporting event, even more so than the SuperBowl.

I also love that the UO Ducks AND the PSU Vikings both made it into the tournament this year. First of all, not only did the Ducks make it to the tournament, but they were ranked 9th! Wow, I can't believe it. I have them beating Mississippi St but not Memphis...

I'm not sure what the next few weeks of bball mania holds for me and my bracket, but i'm excited for each and every game.

Go UNC. oh man i wish i knew their fight song right now...

Bleeding Love

Every morning, I turn on the tv and get ready by either watching ESPN Sports Center or music videos on MTV, VH1 or CMT. This morning i chose to watch VH1 and found myself totally engrossed with this song: "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis. Apparently Leona is a big deal in the UK. She wrote her first song when she was 12 and in 2006, she entered the show "The X Factor" and ended up winning the whole thing, along with a recording contract.

She's also one of VH1's "You Oughta Know" stars on the rise, along with: Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Barielles, Feist and more. She could be the next Alicia Keys? What do you think?

If I could compare her to any animated character it would have to be Nala from the Lion King. Right? Blah, ok now i'm just babbling. Enjoy!

TGIF!

TGIF! Here are some videos that I am currently obsessed with. I watched them continuously for a good hour or two last night, especially the "Whateva" baby.

"Whateva" Baby

The way the little girl rolls her eyes and sticks her hand up in the air is priceless. My favorite part starts at -0:20 seconds. One day my future baby will be just as cute, actually cuter if that's even possible.

Shaq, Lebron and Dwight Howard All-Star Dance off

Shaq definitely took the show. He can "pop his booty just like he should." Thanks Kelis. I would've died if I saw this in person. May have even fallen out of my chair.

Bush arrested in Brattleboro?

Happy Hump Day!

Morning Edition, March 5, 2008 · Wherever President Bush may travel next, it's reasonable to assume that it may not be Brattleboro, Vt. Brattleboro voters approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest the president and vice president — for violating the Constitution of the United States — should they drop by.

hahahahahahahaha.
Thanks for sending that over Julie!
