thanks to everyone who serves in the armed forces for doing what you do. and my big lumberjack heart goes out to all the families of those that lost their lives a decade ago. thank you for staying strong and continuing on in their memory.
a real quick playlist.
so i have to head in to work and figured i had a few minutes to post a quick playlist for everyone. it is sort of all over the place but i hope you enjoy it.
- “transatlanticism” by death cab for cutie
- “elder goose” by dance gavin dance
- “aisle” by the bunny the bear
- “its’ for the best” by straylight run
- “upward over the mountain” by iron & wine
that’s all.
it was just something quick while i figured out what to wear to work. [dark jeans, black v-neck, purple plaid flannel shirt]
enjoy your day, folks.

Sorry I haven’t been posting as regularly as I used to. I just finished finals yesterday and moved out of my dorm today so life has been reeeeeally hectic. Anyway, it’s Wednesday so here are my suggestions for your iPod.
#1. “Sometime Around Midnight” by The Airborne Toxic Event off of The Airborne Toxic Event. This is a great song and it really shows the possibilities for storytelling within a single song. —> Download!
#2. “Only One” by Yellowcard off of Ocean Avenue. This song makes me cry. —> Download!
#3. “Jersey” by Mayday Parade off of A Lesson In Romantics. I listen to Mayday Parade’s entire album everyday at least once, no joke. They are one of my favorite bands. —> Download!
#4. “I Can’t Do It Alone” by 3OH!3 off of WANT. Honestly, a lot of people don’t like 3OH!3 because they act like total toolbags in their songs [which I don't disagree with], but I like their music and this is a better than decent song. —> Download!
#5. “Existentialism On Prom Night” by Straylight Run off of Straylight Run. This song is fantastical. ‘nough said. —> Download!
#6. “New York, NY” by Chronic Future off of Lines In My Face. If you replace the lyrics “New York City” for “Seattle”, then this song speaks to me. Haha. —> Download!
#7. “Golden Star” by My Brightest Diamond off of Bring Me The Workhorse. Okay, so I saw My Brightest Diamond when they came to the NorVa with The Decemberists in April of 2007. I DID NOT LIKE HER VOICE AT ALL. But, two years later, I like it. She has grown on me and I hope she grows on you too…like a fungus, like a fungus. —> Download!
#8. “You Don’t Know Me (Feat. Regina Spektor) by Ben Folds off of Way to Normal. I found this song on my friend’s Myspace and loved it. Enjoy —> Download!
Well I am going to Pennsylvania for the next 3-4 days so I will be without internet [to my knowledge] so I expect comments/feedback/suggestions when I return. Have a wonderful weekend viewers.

What Grinds My Gears; Part ∞

The song of the day is Mistakes We Knew We Were Making by Straylight Run.
So here is what is pissing me off today. Two things.
First: Me.
I keep making a lot of stupid mistakes and blaming them on being young and naive and stupid, but that really has nothing to do with it. I just don’t think things out fully before I do them. I just jump in to things before I really 
consider all the possible repercussions of my actions.
I also keep dwelling on stuff I have absolutely zero control over. So, I’ve decided to only dwell on things I can effect directly, therefore, I hope it lowers my blood pressure and my stress. My heart can only take so much, you know?
Second: Other People.
I hate when people have something you want, and they flaunt it in your face; be it a car, a house, a job, a lover, money, etc. That’s rude, and shows a total lack of any type of humility or personality or soul. It’s a blatant disregard for another human beings feelings, and I think people that do that should get kicked in the face with high heels.
I don’t know why it bothers me so much when people flaunt the things that they’ve “earned”…probably because I don’t often get the chance to do the same. Whatever…it’s just been on my mind today.
More later.
Cody
