I'll Take Eight Hours Of Sleep, Hold The Coffee.

If my life were written as a book, it would look like this.

It is not a "quick read".

I think I have a faulty iPod. Every shuffle is painfully repetitive. I can call it right now ... Red Hot Chili Peppers, Motion City Soundtrack, Hot Hot Heat, Sublime, and Taking Back Sunday. That is all. Sometimes even in that order. At one point, all of those bands were my favorite band at a particular moment. Now, every time I hear a song by one of those bands, I expect one of the other bands on that list to play right after that song is over, even if the song isn't coming from my iPod. 

Do iPod's have the ability to brainwash humans?.....

Aside from my iPod's one track mind, it surprisingly spit out a pretty solid shuffle the other day in the car. You know those songs that you have on your iPod somewhere, but for some reason, they're never under the band's name or the actual title of the song? It's always like, "Track 5" with a blank space underneath where the artist's name should be. I have about a dozen or two of those. I was lucky enough to be able to hear all of the old songs that I used to LOVE, which has officially kicked off the "Rediscovering Old Musical Love - Summer '09". That's right, I'm determined to find and listen to all of the songs I once loved, the ones that I didn't actually love, but enjoy having stuck in my head, and the ones that remind me of things. 

A recent, amazing shuffle list includes .... drum roll please .... 

- Edwin McCain - I'll Be (Obsessed beyond belief with this song. Can I get a man to serenade me, please?)

- The Roots - The Seed

- The Pixies - Where Is My Mind

- Boys Like Girls - Hero Heroine (I am not an avid listener of Boys Like, given that my tool of an ex boyfriend used to play for them. Blah! This band will eternally suck to me for that sole purpose. But, cute song, nonetheless.)

-Jeffrey Gaines - In Your Eyes

- Nick Gilder - Hot Child In The City

- Janes Addiction - Been Caught Stealing

- Blues Traveler - Hook

- Bare Naked Ladies - Pinch Me/One Week

- Ludo - Love Me Dead

Definitely all songs that you never hear anymore, which is always fun. 

I had forgotten that this particular song had existed, until I stumbled up on it's video. At first I couldn't decide whether I was smothered in bitterness, or if I was cool with it. But after watching the video/hearing Patrick Stump's voice belt out the oh-so-classic, but now oh-so-ruined bc of FOB, "Beat It" by MJ, I am dead set on bitter. The video is horrific, and the cover is even worse. Thank God Fall Out Boy didn't get a lot of attention for this one, obviously, for good reason. 

I would post the link of the video for you, but I'm too ashamed to have it lingering on my blog. Ohhh the embarrassment.

Aside from the musical endeavors I have obviously been on, I have been in rare form these last two days. Last night, I got three hours total of sleep. And all day today I was sweating, and then freezing my buns off - goosebumps and cold hands included. I'm not sure what's happening in this little body of mine, but it seems confused. Maybe it's time for another detox? I am not doing the "Lemonade Diet". Barf. I have been living off of Starbucks Double Shot's, which are jet fuel for the human race. Not ok. 

Speaking of, I just counted, and I had six cups of coffee today, three of them being espresso induced. Ouch. Maybe I do need to detox.

Have you ever just clicked on a bunch of icons on your Mac, just to watch them all bounce up and down at different times?

No?

......and that's my cue.

Toodles!
