Jag Lever!

Hela veckan har varit alldeles fyllt upp med bara plugg, plugg, plugg!  Missade fotbollsmatchen igår eftersom jag jobbade hårt, men det var värt att komma nånstans med Business Law och Calculus. Whew.  Nu har jag skrivit klart uppsatsen och gjort ett prov, bara ett kvar imorgon!

Helgan kommer att bli utgång med några vänner på fredag, Dallas Museum of Art med syrran och en pageant som min vän ska vara med i på lördag och sen plugg igen på söndag.

Förhoppningsvis kommer jag att ha kul i helgen.  Jag behöver det verkligen.  Har varit sjuk och stressad och sen har allt möjligt hänt.  Livet skojar med mig ibland men nu ger jag upp och jag ska skoja tillbaks.  Vet inte om det är rätt grammatik, men det är det bästa jag kan göra.


Lyssnar till deadmau5 albumet For Lack of a Better Name.  Mmmm :)

Stressad

Som fan.  Asså, den här veckan är bara skit än så länge. Prov igår, tre quizzes, två uppsatser, förlorade min housing agreement eftersom jag glömde bort att gå in och skriva under en sak.  Huvudvärk varje dag, sover dåligt, slutat röka, söker jobb.  Skolkade två gånger idag.  Vill inte plugga mera.  Vill bara försvinna ett tag.

Och det är bara tisdag.

Men idag ska jag ta en "mental-health day" så jag kan börja om igen. Annars kommer jag inte att överleva denna jävla veckan.


En bra grej iaf.  Har hittat massor av nya musik.  En av mina favoriter:











Also.  Natalia Kills. Calling it right now. Watch out for her, she's going to make it big.  She's a blend of Gaga and Rihanna (that is, Rihanna without such an obnoxious voice.)

Architects

Oj oj oj, idag har varit kul.  Började med lite extra sov eftersom jag kom hem ganska sent igår, sen har jag suttit i solen hela dagen med go' mat och bra musik vid poolen (även om det är fortfarande lite för kallt att bada).  Det blev också en plötsligt besök till Target för att köpa den nya Rise Against album som släppts idag!



Har hört hela skivan rakt igenom 3 gånger redan.  Asbra. Favoriter är: Architects, Broken Mirrors, Wait For Me, och Make It Stop (September's Children).  Men ALLA är bra.

Här är också några bilder från showen igår!


Scissor Sisters öppnade för Gaga, helt underrbaaart


Vi var JÄTTENÄRA till scenen





Hon ringde en kille från Dallas i mitten av showen och donerade en massa av pengar i hans namn och sen frågade om han ville "have a drink after the show" han grät nästan.

Grime

I've recently discovered an artist by the name of Tinie Tempah that I adore because of his catchy hooks and silly (yet surprisingly clever) lyrics.  In my cry for even more music, I was told to listen to an artist named Tinchy Stryder.  I pretty much fell in love.  He's similar to Tinie Tempah and so I began to dig into it.  Which led me to discover that they are part of a genre called Grime which originated in East London in the early 2000's.  Pretty much, it's amazing.  Check these out:

You're Not Alone by Tinchy Stryder



Game Over by Tinchy Stryder featuring Tinie Tempah



Written in the Stars by Tinie Tempah



Cross My Heart by Skepta featuring Preeya Kalidas



Green Light by Roll Deep



Number 1 by Tinchy Stryder featuring N-Dubz




Just a glimpse at what I'm listening to right now ;)

So Cold...

I have just showered after a very unproductive yet busy day.  It started with a History exam, followed by a chem lab, followed by a business exam, then dinner, a game of flag football (which we won, hells yeah), and then rushing out the door to go to a foam party.

Yes yes, we went to a foam party.  It was fun, but lets just say that I picked up a couple of stories that I wouldn't share with just anyone...

And while standing outside the club waiting for a cab, soaking wet, that cold front that I was so excited about decided to really rub itself in my face.  By blowing cold wind.  While I'm wearing shorts and a tank top and am dreeeenched.

And now my phone got soaked so we'll see if it functions entirely in the morning...



Poor decisions were made tonight.  I have homework due at 08.00am (5 hours), a class at 08.30, and another exam at 14.30...

But tonight was totally worth it.  This is what college should be about, am I right?

OH.  And Eminem & Lil Wayne's video for "No Love" premiered tonight :)



Now I'm off to finish homework, study, and sleep...I have to be up in 4 1/2 hours? WISH ME LUCK.

Lifetime of Scrutiny

Hatar skolan.  Eller, inte precis, men typ.
Hatar lektioner.  Förutom en och även den är lite konstig...
MEN.  Jag gillar ju människorna som går här.  Som pratar med mig eller tvärtom.
Det finns typ en tjej som jag hatar och det är bara en kul historia (haha).

Men jag vet inte.  Vet inte om jag passar in på universitetet.  Men jag vet inte om jag skulle pass in nån annanstans...Vill bara leva den fria livet, y'know?

Men så är det bara inte.  Så jag pluggar nu till ett prov på tisdag och jag har skitmånga saker att läsa eftersom jag inte kan fokusera på lektionerna...Och jag är förvirrad över vad som händer med vissa saker eftersom nåra säger att det är någonting men det inte verkar så till mig och om inget händer då ska jag börja tappa intresse.

Avslutningsvis (hah) är det här min lilla whining post.  jag vill bara klaga lite innan jag måste suck it up och bara fortsätta.

On a brighter note, found a song on a playlist I got from somebody that I have been in love with FOREVER and have never found cause I could never to remember to look for it.  Either way, found it and I love it, can't stop listening to it.  AND I found out that Bad Religion will be releasing a new album September 28th.  Super exciting :)

Rewrites, Model Houses, & Video Premieres

I'm writing my own version of Eminem's "Deja Vu." I'll let you know more later ;)

Today consisted of hanging around the house and swimming all day until around six in the evening when I got picked up and taken to Northpark Mall.  Browsed a countless number of stores, fell in love with a countless number of clothing/shoes/accessories.  What can I say? I'm easily woo'ed by material things sometimes.

Here are some things that I found today:


(Baker's)



(Burberry)


(Betsey Johnson)


(Victoria's Secret)

Oh I wish I had the money and the body shape to have all of these marvelous things.


In other news, Eminem's new music video for his hit single duet with Rihanna, "Love the Way You Lie" debuted today with Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan.  I liked it, although I don't believe it's his best video.  I honestly feel that "Way I Am" is the best one...I'm not sure why.  It was the first music video I saw with an Eminem song...Maybe it's purely out of nostalgia?

Anyways, here's the video:

Pa pa pa poke her face

Ahaha, this is a great song.  I'm surprised it took me this long to listen to the Man on the Moon album by Kid Cudi.  I like him actually, wasn't expecting to.

The name of this song is Make Her Say and it features Common and Kanye West




This one is Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmares) featuring MGMT

2 Things.

Saw A-Team.  So incredibly funny that I would recommend everyone to watch it.  Or, everyone that has decent taste in films and wants to see an action film that is super funny, full of great action scenes, and manages to hold onto a plot throughout it all (no matter how predictable it may be at times, still so worth it).

The trailer is below:




The song of the moment.  Jennie and I die whenever we hear this.  Which has become more and more often because vi kan helt enkelt inte låt bli ;)

New Music For You

Change by The Young Veins
**The Young Veins was created by two members of Panic at the Disco.  PATD is now replacing them I believe.  This song is very Beatles-esque...



Tenderoni by Kele
**Kele is the lead singer of Bloc Party and this is his debut single as a solo artist.




What Did My Lover Say (It Always Had To Go This Way) by Wolf Parade

Sugar and Spite

Unkle Bob is probably my favorite band right now :)
They just make me happy...

This weekend was great.  Had a great time at the bbq party on friday which led to Hanna g sleeping at my place and making spaghetti at 1 in the morning.  Thats the 2nd time this week hahaha.  Both with Hanna, although it was hanna l last time :P  we had a great time and then we hung out for a while before she went home.  I actually managed to study and hang out with Jennie a bit on Saturday despite my awful hangover :P.  Today I've actually started working on math a lot.

Too many people
Spend all their time alone
Too many people
Never know when to go home




Aaaahh.
I feel okay.
Stressed, but okay.

Everyone's Talking

about Gaga's new video.
Directed by a Swede ;) (Jonas Åkerlund)







I thought it was interesting. I have to say, I loved the beginning of it when she pushes her crotch up against the bars and the guard says "I told you she didn't have a dick"


Nice little rebuttal :P

Best Classical Song Ever

I like classical music, don't get me wrong.
But I don't generally listen to it...

And this song came on shuffle and it just really is the best classical song I have ever heard, and I've heard a looot.  I lived with my grandparents for a year.  I played viola for the school orchestra for 4 and a half years.  I've heard classical music.  This still comes out on top.








Dea and I are going out for another walk now :)
Tired of being cooped up inside.

Spring Cleaning

Eftersom det är ju nästan vår (eller är det vår redan?) har jag börjat göra lite Spring cleaning.
Har just städat sovrummet :)  Nu finns det nästan inga damm (hur skönt som helst!) och solen skiner och allting känner bra.

Jag har till och med diskat efter lunch och ska städa tv rummet snart.
Men min magen känner lite konstig igen och jag har fortfarande ont i huvudet så jag tänkte bara vila lite.

Nu går Dea till skolan och Intersport.  Jag vill följa fast jag tror att jag inte kommer att orka hela vägen.  Det är svårt nog bara att gå omkring lägenheten ibland.  I morse var det ganska lugnt och jag mådde ganska bra men nu kommer det igen och jag vet inte varför :(

Men jag lyssnar på Queens of the Stone Age och det gör det bättre.



We get these pills to swallow
How they stick in your throat
Taste like coal.


Oh what you do to me
No one knows.

A Bit of a Bite

I absolutely love this live version of Lady GaGa's Poker Face (performance from the Friday Night Show with Jonathan Ross)


P.S. Jennie, this is the only I was telling you about.

Getting close to 200 entries :O

'




Weeiirdo.
I know.
But i get kind of happy when i finish a song, even if its really bad or just kind of like "umm...okay?"
And by kind of i mean really super.
Hmm so my songs are all the same kind right now so im gonna try something new next time...maybe a bit of hip hop? Any suggestions? On what it could be about too?
Haha I'm already working on a song about Bonde Roger and I'm thinking about writing one about em, without ever saying his name, givetvis.


Cheese and rice.


Umm. Yeah, I actually got stuff done this weekend. Which feels good.
And its gotten to the point where i'd rather walk than take the bus because the sun is out now and it makes it so nice to be outside...So thats another plus.


Skyped Maya on Saturday, glad to know shes the same as ever :P
Dea came home now but hasnt said anything to me at all. Haha but then i'm sitting on the sofabed with headphones on in the dark and all my music stuff out. Bubble pretty much.
Saturday night kind of freaked me out. A lot. I'm not gonna be stupid and try not to be paranoid, but yeah. I have no idea where I'm going with this.


Goodnight.

Äffish strikes again

I've written another song.  It isnt the first that I've written since last summer, but its the first time since ive recorded since then..Fun times :)

Yeah...weird singing i know. and the sound levels are funny, they didnt sound bad when i recorded it but when i exported it some parts were much louder than others.
