Like Music?
Listen. She's good. We went to the same school for a year. I don't really know her and she doesn't know me, but someone linked to her youtube page on facebook, so I listened and she sounds way good. I decided that she deserves more attention than she's getting, so I am trying to help. Real music lovers would listen.
Haven't you ever wanted to help someone? Give her some views people!

Blonde Jokes.
A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from Los Angeles to New York.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer
persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me five dollars, and vice versa."
persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me five dollars, and vice versa."
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
"Okay," says the lawyer, "your turn."
She asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"
The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references ... no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress ... no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers but to no avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde thanks him and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
Good Right?
Ehh?

M&M Duels
Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.
Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theatre of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.
There can be only one.
These are all things that were said by pilots:
Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern."
�
"Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money more than Southwest Airlines."
�
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. Whoa!"
�
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Chicago, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."
�
From a Southwest Airlines employee: "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."
From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to Chicago. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more."
�
After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
�
"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation. In the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments."
�
"As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."
�
After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the flight attendant got on the PA and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."
�
"Last one off the plane must clean it."
�
From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight."
�
This was overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach, the captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the flight attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
�
An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a, "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, did we land or were we shot down?"
�
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
�
Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."
Found these on StumbleUpon. Well my school computer blocks it so I had to use a proxy to get around it, and I didn't want to lose it so I just put it on here.Enjoy!

Life and all it has to offer.
Being a teenage girl, and growing up watching many Disney movies, I feel that I have been classically conditioned to want to find love, and that every man should be perfect. Every man should be able to know how to act at all times, and how to be sensitive and loving and attractive, and that every woman deserves a man like that. For the longest time all I wanted to find someone who was going to love me and be perfect for me, because I saw so many other people doing this and seemingly get it right. But then I learned two things. Two very important things that everyone should find out sometime:
1. Looking for someone never works.
You can look all you want but that won't guarantee that you'll find someone and you can't waste all your time looking for a significant other. I believe everyone has the potential to fall in love and there is someone for everyone, but if you try and force love then it will never work, you can't make yourself love someone, it won't work out.
2. Trying to find the perfect person is dumb.
Nobody is perfect, there is no such thing as the perfect relationship either. The thing about love is that it isn't with the perfect person, everyone has faults, it's with someone that you love despite of their faults. It's learning to deal with all of them. Duh people.
I used to think when I saw kids getting together that they all seemed like great couples and that they would last, then I saw the truth. High school relationships do not last past high school. It doesn't effing work. We are all too young and too immature to know how to be a good significant other. Half of us don't even know who we are, or what we want to do. And not to mention the hormones. I see couples now as ticking time bombs, just waiting to explode. People constantly break up and then fall in "love" again.
Don't even get me started on stupid girls who swear they fall in love the first week of the relationship. They think they are in love with someone they barely know, how much can you know a person after only knowing them for a couple days, how much do you really know a person after a year? As much as they want, really. What's worse about all this? They have unprotected sex. Guys think pulling out is enough and girls think if they give themselves to a guy they will love them. I am so sick of girls getting pregnant. There are so many ways to not have babies! Utilize them people! Girls it's up to you to make sure. Refuse sex without a condom, or get the PILL. Guys You don't want kids! CONDOMS don't rely on girls to take their pills on time every time, they are a pain in the butt. So come on people there are enough kids in the world already. You're not ready to support another human.
Keep on arguing.
Faith.

Home, Home on the Raaaaaaaaaange
Woot. Tigers won. =)
Like that picture? Me too. Love the brotips.
But man, there is something awesome about everyone and you need to start believing it. Don't be a baby or a wussy, get with it and start acting awesome. And not in a "I'm awesome, (but I'm actually a juice bag)!" sort of way. Just a "I'm pretty fly. (I'm cool but I don't forget who my friends are and I'm not too cool to talk to anyone)!" sort of way. Ya know? Be confident in yourself, because you only get to be one person. I hate it when people are awesome and they don't see it. Love yourself bro!
Babiiiieeeesss. I want to know why they all have these mussed up names. Like that celeb who named the kid Apple. Holy shitballs. Who names their kid Apple? It's insane. Pick a name for your kid and stick with it. An actual NAME. Not a freaking fruit or a bunch of letters you saw in a bowl of letter soup. Crazy parents need to stop trying to make their kid something special by naming them dumb names. If they would allow their kids to grow up with a regular name their kids will be able to find something special about themselves without having to grow up in the shadow of their own name.
Like my ranting? I do it quite often. I don't know why I get so heated when I talk about...well basically everything.
Ah well.
So I read the book Battle Royal. Oh my gosh it was so good. Basically it is about a class in Japan that was selected for this thing called the "Program" and they were put on an Island and they were told to kill each other. They each got a weapon, and whichever person was last alive, won. Lots of blood. Lots of gore. But a good story line. I would suggest it for anyone who loves a good book. Maybe not for anyone with a weak tummy though.
Oh so one of my friends is home from college (which is seven hours away) for the weekend, and I didn't know she was coming down, so when I saw her I almost cried. I was so happy!
I don't think I have much else to say...
Humm
I'm being Misty for Halloween. =)
Keep on rocking.

Shellaced babe
For Homecoming I got my nails done. I got shellac.
I wasn't sure at first, but I've made up my mind. It's friggen magic.
First day I got them done. They are purple if you can't tell. Periodically throughout the week I would scratch something and think oh crap I did it now, thinking I messed it up. No chance buck.
No change. Well except my nails have grown out. Amazing right? Right. I would suggest this to people who don't have time to think about their nails constantly, or if they look good. I legit would have to scrape this stuff off. And it's so smooth. The only bad thing is that it stays on so long that your nails grow out. But is that even a bad thing? That means it's so kick ass the only bad thing is that it stays on super long.
SUGGESTED.
=)

Fricken A
As I was growing up my mother told me never to swear. Never. I wasn't even allowed to say Oh my God. Very conservative. But as a I grew up and went to public school, I found I was surrounded by people using the bad words more and more. I learned new words that were completely foreign to me. I didn't really use them during my middle school years. I remember the first time I used a naughty word. It made my stomach churn. I was afraid to.
Even as a freshman, my capacity for swearing was rather low. Then when later in my high school years it became easier and easier the more I would say the words. Now it seems to be amazingly easy. I can literally swear and feel nothing. Before I thought "Hey I can think of more clever ways to insult people, I don't need those words! I can describe things without saying f*** every other word" and I can. I can insult people without swearing. I can describe things without saying F***. But sometimes I just can't help it. I can't seem to find the words to say what I mean and the swear words describe them perfectly. But when I hear other people swear constantly, it makes me look at them differently. They don't sound intelligent.
What I've been contemplating is whether or not I should swear. Or how much I should swear. Or whatever. Because believe me sometimes it is just great.
There is this kid who I'm pretty sure wants to get in my pants, but you couldn't pay me to. I mean I know I'm not the hottest shiz, but I've got some self respect. So basically he wanted me to text him, and I tried to divert him from wanting me to by saying...
(which is a lie)
I had been talking to my friend about it and when I got that message (on FB) I took a picture and sent it to her with the label F**************************CK. She had told me to just say no but of course I didn't want to be mean, so that's how I tried to get him to not talk to me. Did not work out. I tried again...
(Bigger lie)
Fricken No. It didn't work AGAIN. I again texted this picture to my friend with the same label as the one before. She replied "He just practically said he loved you already. He accepts all your faults and wants to love you forever" I died laughing at that.
But I know I kinda got off track with that story but what I was trying to say was that what else could I have said that would show my frustration as well? At the same time I would love to be so intellectual that I don't need these words.
Dannnggg it. I thought typing it out would help me make a choice, but I'm so much more confused.
I think I'm not going to stop swearing, but I'll tone it down. The less I swear, the more effect those words will have when I do use them. Sound good? Now swearing isn't for everyone and if you don't like to swear, I would so support that option because that shows strength and self power and that is something I'm jealous of. Fricken yes.
I think it's something you have to figure out for yourself. Do whatever is right for you and your situation.
Come on Babe

Gotta catch em all
So has anyone else noticed that while you are playing Pokemon and you have just got your Pokemon healed, the lady says "Your Pokemon are all healed! Hope to see you again." That seems all nice right? No. My question is, if they work at a hospital for Pokemon...shouldn't they not want to see you again? Because I only go there when I want to get my Pokemon healed. You would think that they wouldn't want to see you ever again. I always thought that was odd.
And yes I do still play Pokemon. At playr.org you can play almost any classic games that you would play on game boy or nintendo. The old nintendo. You can save Pokemon gold so that is what I play.
So I am watching this movie right now. I saw it when it first came out, but that was in 2003. As I am watching it now I remember some parts but not all of them. It is funny and sad and heart-warming all at the same time.
It has some great messages in it, and the acting is not bad which is always extra fawesome. Every scene has something to be learned in it. I think it was very under-exposed and very under-appreciated. And even though it's almost about football and sports, it's a lot more than that. It's about doing the right thing, it's about excepting people as they are, and it's about helping people in a time of need. I think most of all it's about learning how to be a good friend no matter who they are.
He looks so free here. So happy doing the simplest thing. Riding in a shopping cart. It makes me giggle every time I see it. Watch it. It's a good one.
Keith
p.s. you get to look at this
periodically through the movie =)

Is a beast.
So he is a singer. His music is slower and beautiful. The songs are melodic and calming but at the same time they are catchy and different. His voice makes you want to jump his bones. The lyrics are meaningful and well thought out. (unlike some of the drivel that's been clogging the radio waves) All of the songs are the slower enchanting melodies, except they all have their own personality and beats and sway to them.
Orange Sky and All my Days are amazeballs. But all of the songs are good.
This isn't music you can dance to, but it's music you can relax to or read to or do some homework or play a game. I don't see how anybody could criticize his music, but I'm sure people will. It may not be for some people, and I understand that but just because it's something you may not normally listen to doesn't mean it can't be good in a different way.
This is also great music to unwind to. If you've had a really long stressful day, laying down and listening to him relaxes you and makes the worries of the day fade into the background. (Doing that right now actually) Breathe is a really good one to listen to in these times.
I can sit here and praise him all I want but that is no substitute for actually listening to him. I suggest people make there own opinions about him because we all have brains and personalities, let's use them.
