The Waffle Album

Today something arrived in my mailbox. It was a CD. It was Hello Hurricane. I absolutely love this record. It is so amazing and indescribable. I like to think of it like this: The CD is like a burnt waffle. Light and airy, but it has a dark side. It's also very satisfying, but not quite.
One of my favorite parts of Hello Hurricane is how it twists my soul into shapes that I didn't think is could go. It's ripping out pieces of me and throwing them around the room. It left me broken after some songs but totally put back together after others. I feel like if I go back through the other records, I won't be able to think of them the same.
I think everyone needs to hear a record like this. Not this one, specifically, just a CD that makes you feel the same way Hello Hurricane makes me feel.

This concludes my review of what could possibly be my most favorite record of all time.

That's all, folks!

Are You Tired of Being Alone?

Manchester Orchestra. Haven't heard of them? Well, go on iTunes right now then. They are phenomenal. I actually forgot how good they were. Right now I'm listening to one of my most favourite songs by them: Shake It Out. It's got great music and great lyrics (see title of this post). Another song I love is Golden Ticket. That song is put together so well! It's crazy. It's amazing. It's craymazing! Oh and I can't forget I've Got Friends. That's the song that originally got me hooked on this band.

So I never talk about my personal life on here, but I figure today should be an exception. Just because I felt like it. I got a letter today! It's from my really good friend, Amy. We haven't talked in a while, and just recently we've been talking. I feel like we're rebuilding our relationship. I love it.
Also, I feel like lately I haven't been very nice to someone who is very close to me. He'll say something and expect me to say something and I won't. Why? Because he's leaving, and that puts me in a bad mood. There really isn't any reason for me to act this way, and I wish I didn't. I just... I don't know. I need to think about this more and figure out a way to make it up to him. :\
Finally, in the world of me, nothing else has really happened... I guess... Hello Hurricane comes out in 5 days... yea. That's all the excitement in my life right now.

I need to go take a shower!

Question of the post: Who haven't you talked to in a while that you need to? Like, desperately.

Mess of Me

This may be one of the few times a blog post of mine is not a rant on stupid people and their stupid opinions. I'm talking about promotion. Specifically, promotion of a Switchfoot video. This round: Mess of Me. Yes. It has arrived. The OFFICIAL Mess of Me music video, and our friends over at www.landofbrokenhearts.org and www.wereawakening.blogspot.com have some big goals for this thing. FIRST: +1,500 ratings. Simple, give it 5 stars. SECOND: +1,500 favorites. Easy, too. Favorite the life outa that thing! THIRD: +5,000 comments. They really aren't challenging us, are they? FOURTH: +75,000 views. Now I know you loyal readers can do that. [If you don't like the song (which I would find hard to believe) just play it over and over with the volume off.] FIFTH: +300 Diggs on www.digg.com. Also easy. If you don't have a Digg account, you can easily link your facebook.

That's about it. I kind of have a rant in me, but it corresponds to much yesterday's post.

That's all, folks!

What Are Rights?

[So these colours are now permanent. I feel like they match much better with the header. Woot.]

Thursdays are confusing for me. On the one hand, I get to have a bass guitar lesson. On the other, it's animal rights club day. Now, I have nothing against animals, but I think we should learn to save ourselves before we try to fix anything else. I'll give you an example: Would you let a doctor who hasn't gone to med school treat and operate on a patient with a life threatening disease? No. He/she needs to learn how to be a doctor. And what better way to teach than to practice on yourself? It would make everything a lot more careful and precise, and practice makes permanent.

Another thing, I've said this before and I'll say it again. You think animals have don't have rights? Look at people. Take this story about a girl who was sold into prostitution by her foster father. Last time I czeched, slaves, especially sex slaves, don't have rights. Oh, but don't forget the genocide. Dead people definitely don't have rights. The civil war in Darfur is probably the biggest issue our there besides the war in Uganda. (Don't even get me started on Uganda.)

The point is, people need help. Animals do too, but not as much as people. I think that if we start making a change in one area, everything will iron itself out.

A Small Change

So I changed the colours around a little. I used this thing on www.bighugelabs.com. It makes colour schemes and I changed my blog around to those colours. Let me know if you like the current ones or the chatbox ones and I'll get back to you soon.

That's all, folks!
