Confession Time...


Okay everyone, guess what.

That title up there? Not totally random.

The fact of the matter is... I haven't really updated this blog at all recently for one reason and one reason alone. Girls.

How's that you ask? Well, since you totally just took my bait and asked that, let me tell you. I started this blog for one reason and one reason alone. To pick up chicks. My standard attempted pick-up before this blog would go something like this: "Hey babe, occasionally I write stuff on Facebook when I want to post stuff online." Believe it or not, this line is not that effective. For some reason girls just didn't find that attractive.

But then I discovered the secret. Blogging. My line went from that up there to "Hey babe, occasionally I update my blog when I feel like talking about video games or music or my feelings or something." IT WORKED SO WELL. All of a sudden I was a complex individual with a cool opinion and deep emotions! What kind of girl doesn't want to read about me ramble on randomly about video games without really knowing what it is that I'm going to say? I even had a few guys hit on me when they heard about my blog!

Now that I had a few posts and my "blog" looked legitimate enough, I just had to wait, and I would be the most popular person EVER.

If you are still reading, the above was totally true. And by that I mean that was totally not true.

The real confession is much less exciting. I spend time wasting my time, which leads to cycle of procrastination and self-hatred. Typical teenage things. I just figured that others would appreciate being used as a means to get girls, rather than being put off by boring teenage laziness.

Plus I have no clue what to post here. Possibly stuff about Tv shows. I like those. Since you are looking at this, you are both on a computer and on the internet. That bodes well for you; even if you're one of those weirdoes without a Tv, you can still watch Tv shows.

Now to a part where I tell you what you should like.

OMG OMGOMGOMGOOMODMGSOIJSDOPFJi;ldskfoaj. Sorry. These shows are hilarious and amazing and awesome and you should watch them all like 50 times. They have stuff for everyone!
Cute animals


Funny moments...


Just watch the shows! They are fantastic!

Community:
Okay, so this a show that I only just recently started watching last week, but due to a long weekend have seen approximately 30 episodes of. I honestly don't know how to describe it... Okay, so it's a show that takes place at a community college, and revolves around a group of wacky people of all types! One of the greatest aspects of the show is the way that it takes tropes of all sorts of things, and manipulates them in hilarious ways. The writing is also fantastic. As is the music.


Just look at these wacky misfits!
While there are some issues with the show, overall I think it is definitely worth your checking out...




Okay, lets be honest. I watch way more than just 2-3 Tv shows. I just don't have the time or energy to demand you watch them all. These are just the ones I have most recently been obsessed with.

I hope I just wasted your time. That would be nice.

Bye bye!

Some Nights

Okay, so this post is totally going to be about music.

You know how like, last post, I was all "OMG NEW ISLANDS SINGLE!!!!!"? Well that album came out this week, and is one of the few albums I actually own! I pre-ordered it and it came with a sweet card signed by the lead singer! If I had a camera, I would post some pictures of it, because it's actually pretty funny.

That being said, in less than a week, another of my favorite bands is releasing a new album! It's fantastic, though admittedly I may not buy it, if only due to lack of cash moneys. Anyways, the band is called Fun. and the album, Some Nights, is their second one.

Now, I absolutely LOVED the first album, called Aim and Ignite. The songs on it are incredibly pop-y, and it is one of my most listened to albums, with songs that almost always can cheer me up.

This song, The Gambler, is almost definitely my favorite song on this first album. While I suggest you listen to all of the songs on it, as this one was not initially my favorite, the more I listened to it the more I loved it. I mean, it's cheerful but at the same time full of emotion. I don't really know how to explain it better than that. I just really like this song.


Now, the new album takes a slightly different tone. I mean, it's still good, but the first album had a sort of sincerity in it's music. When hearing it, the songs seem like when heard live they could only sound better.
In the new one, it seems less so, considering LIKE HALF OF THE SONGS HAVE SIGNIFICANT AUTOTUNE USAGE.

That being said, I can't hate them. I actually quite like the new album - not as much as the original, but is good individually. So yes, I do dislike the autotune, but thats just me being a crotchety 17 year old. You should listen to them, and love them anyways.

Also, I realize that I have been a terrible blogger, as to be honest, this is my 4th post within like 6 weeks or something and I'm already running out of ideas. I mean, look at this! The past two have been about music coming out within the next few weeks! ERGH.

But I shall persevere, as I like to think that you people actually enjoy reading these posts.

Hrmblgrumblegrumble

So were back here again...

Before we get started, let me just point out that the above "Hrmblgrumblegrumble" is NOT a negative one! Its my second post, there is no way I am going to lay my stresses all over you yet!

Anyways, over the past week or so that has passed, I have had like, an almost in-contabulatable number of ideas to post about, but in that time I have also had a number realizations that you may not actually care about what I have to say. I have come to the perfect solution...

Following this post, in a manner that is actually rather intuitive as it is, I will be titling my posts something that has to do with the actual content. Why am I doing this you ask? Basically, its in case I post something like "OMG GOAT-KOALA LOVE CONQUERS ALL", you go there expecting some hot interspecies lovin', rather than me raving about my favorite video game... Unless that game happens to be about exciting interspecies relationships...

In case you haven't noticed, I really like linking stuff. I hope you open it, its some fantastic stuff. Anyways, now that I've started telling you stuff I like, I'm going to tell you more stuff I like!


  • Awful Sci-Fi: Ever since I was young, I have been watching old cheesy sci-fi movies, and frankly I love em. That feeling you get when you see something that is so bad that it is good is nigh unbeatable(not true actually. I like the word nigh though.) A perfect combination of bad old movies and making fun of them is Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (MST3K for you savvy few!) In fact, the very first time I hung out with one of my best friends, we just headed on over to my house and watched one of the greatest MST3Ks I have ever seen. It was amazing.
LASERBLAST! You can find the full MST3K version here!
  • Video Games: In case you may not know, I love playing video games. Admittedly, some I prefer over others, but I am a firm believer in the artistic power of video games. Also, they are crap-loads of fun. Some, like one of my personal favorites Borderlands, combine some of my most favoritest aspects ever. Expect some later post or more of me raving about this game. I have spent way too much time playing it.
I still don't know how to caption videos, but this video is one the creators of Borderlands made for one of their fans. Crude yet hilarious!
  • Scarves: Scarves. I love scarves. This is a relatively recent obsession, but my oh my do I love scarves. Recently for Christmas, that terrible consumerist holiday that I absolutely adore, I got two scarves, and I jump at the opportunities to wear them. Fashionable, soft and warm? Incredible! If I had the camera, and the photogenicosity, this blog could possibly consist entirely of me wearing my scarves, and not necessarily even with different outfits. Though on the topic of outfits, I also really like sweaters, and I got one for Christmas that matches one of my scarves PERFECTLY, and it was a complete coincidence!
  • Carrots: Seriously. I have been known to give monologues about the different ways to eat carrots, both full sized and baby (full sized are sooooo much better). I have also been known to bring full bags of full sized carrots to school, and pull them out during class. They are a comfort food of mine, don't judge!
Okay, I will probably have to continue these sorts of things at some later date, because I am unfortunately a student at a school that likes giving out homework. I am forcing myself short here.

Anyways, sorry if my blog is getting listy, this is only the second post so I'll work on different sorts of structures later! Also, if people do want to see me post about something, let me know, because I am not sure how much people want to hear me talk about some of my stuff. Not to say I won't post my stuff. I will. Your suggestions will just be cream spacing out my Oreo cookie posts!

Later people!

P.S. You guys should click on my links! I promise that they will usually be pretty great!
