Yesterday I saw a b-girl crying.

30 Jan

I walked up and asked what’s wrong.
She told me that the radio’s been playing the same song all day long.


I know. I’m going a bit YouTube/video crazy, but yall know I get in my moods where I just.. don’t.. feel like.. typing..

Anyway.. I’ve been playing this song.. all night long.. Oh well. I’m using it for part of my Intro To Music assignment. I have to discuss 3 elements of music. You know.. the beat.. tempo.. dynamics.. etc etc. Love it. And so does Taylor (damn I shout you out often kid). He told me on Twitter =]

I’m also using N.E.R.D’s Happy (probably my favorite track off Seeing Sounds) + Joseph Haydn’s Sonata in C Major (I just stumbled upon it today, and I honestly fell in love with this piece) for the second half of my assignment.

Ok.. I’m going to sleep. Class in like 7 hours. I’m wylin.

You don’t know my name.

I’m such a lame for this, but I got a serious e-crush (yes e-crush =/) on somebody. I was talking to my boy about snowboarding + blogger retreats (don’t ask lol). And I told him that if we ever went he should invite his boy, a fellow blogger whose name will not be mentioned, to go with us..

..and then it just turned into this all out ‘why don’t you just say something to him’ session. I’m shy.. even on the internet. I mean yeah.. I was told “he’s cool as a white box fan”, and that “it’s not like I’m tellin u to birth dude’s babies or nothin” but eh.. nah lol. And ever since me and my friend had the convo about his boy, I haven’t been able to get Alicia Keys out my head. Just great.. eff’n great (he even went on to tweak the song specifically to fit the situation.. we had too much time on our hands lol..)

Whatever. Let me be a punk if I want to. I’ll just sit back and admire from afar.. well.. on Twitter and his site =] Damn.. I’m starting to sound stalkerish like Alicia sounded on the track lol. Horrible.

Oh and side note..

HAPPY BORN DAY LEAH MICHELLE!

It’s her 21st.. yet she acts like she’s a 40 yr old soccer mom lol. Love you sis!! It’s been 16 years since we first met in Kindergarten & we’re still going strong =]

Drug Abuse. Skateboarding. Uh.. Giant Robots?

28 Jan

I missed it last night. Got excited when I saw it on his blog this morning. Thought I’d share with my fellow Lupe lovers. Damn.. It’s been a solid 4-5 years since I fell in love with Mr. Fiasco. I remember my boy Chris telling me I gotta listen to this Happy Industries track and from then on it’s been a wrap. I also remember when Lupe fans were extremely hard to find. Now it seems that everyone is hopping on the bandwagon.. *sigh* It’s ok. I knew it would happen one day. But damn.. I wanted to be selfish with him just a bit longer. =/

In other news.. It’s a snow day =] kinda… Delayed opening.. School is opening in 45 minutes, but I refuse to go out there. I’m gonna be productive and do some homework for my Intro to Music class, start my notes on my Intro to Art class.. probably do some other studying for my other classes. See.. I’m responsible.. Kinda..

25 Randoms.

28 Jan

So my friend tagged me to do this over on FB. I refuse to tag 25 people. Just read. Enjoy. Comment. Whatever.

  1. Ever since the stupid life guard at Sesame Place failed to notice I was drowning (about 10 years ago), I’ve been afraid of water. No.. Not showers, but I’ll start having panic attacks if I’m in a pool or body of water and the water is anywhere above my chest.
  2. I appreciate the fact that people choose to confide in me and/or want me to be their shoulder to lean on. I just wish I could open up as easily.
  3. I like the oddest animals: Moose, turtles, elephants, hippos & beavers especially.
  4. I’ve wanted to strangle my best friends on numerous occasions (and I’m sure they’ve felt the same way), but I don’t know what I’d do without yall. Thanks ♥
  5. I can’t remember the last time I told my father I loved him. Even if I told him now I don’t know if I would be being completely honest.
  6. I used to want braces as a child. I thought they looked cool =/ lol.
  7. I feel naked without my earrings + my BlackBerry.
  8. I blame my parents for my selfish tendencies and materialistic ways. That’s what happens when you shut your child up with money.
  9. I miss the way my entire family (immediate fam, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) used to be.. Like.. circa 2000.
  10. I never started wearing make up until Dali brainwashed me the summer after my freshman year of college lol. ♥ ya bestie.
  11. I really want to get into photography, but I don’t even know where to start.. What type of camera to buy.. Nothing.. (Err. Taylor.. suggestions would be much appreciated lol)
  12. I’ve romanticized all things associated with Brooklyn in my head for years.
  13. I have an assortment of half-empty water bottles in my room. Bad habit.
  14. I’m on my “4.0 or die” mission this semester. Off to the bat cave I go (yes, I stole it from you booskie ♥)
  15. Thinking about getting wings tatted on my back now.. (and I dare anybody to try and cut my wings…)
  16. I’ve had a series of “Oh you mad cuz I’m stylin on you..” type of moments lately.
  17. This recession is a BITCH & I seriously need a job.
  18. Contemplating chopping the rest of the color out of my hair.. Hmm.. gimme a month.
  19. Success is the best revenge. I’m in my books on my grind. What are you doing with your life?
  20. I really want a surprise party for my 21st. My born day is April 24th if anyone wants to start planning (Glenn! My Taurean homie. You should fly out here for our birthday lol)
  21. I’m so tired of New Jersey and (the majority) of the people here. Virginia eff’n bound.
  22. What would happen if I deleted my Facebook? I’ve been tempted. Too many nosy people. I’m bout to skim through my friends list and delete a few.. dozen.. hundred.. 500 =/
  23. I often wonder how different things would be if my grandma was still alive =/ Damn I miss her.
  24. It might be sad, but I take so much pride in the softness of my hands lol. People notice it.. often. Odd. And it’s all natural. No lotion needed! lol…… Honestly that just means I don’t participate in manual labor much.
  25. I quote Drake… often. He has a song for every day of my life. Like today.. “But I can’t call it. Maybe you mad cuz you fellas lookin celebate. Two things that you are though is jealous and irrelevant. And I’m official.. What’s officially true is callin’ names would only be beneficial to you..

And that’s uh.. yeah.. My random post of the day..

Side note: I’M EFF’N MAD I MISSED LUPE.. ON HOUSE.. OF ALL EFF’N SHOWS.. HOUSE?! UGH.. I told my cousins House would be on USA tonight, too =/
