AhhhhHHHHHAAAAAhhhhhhhaaaaaaa

I woke up sick this morning.
I got a little crazy last weekend.
Going down South Grand and not hitting any red lights is magical!
Regardless if you are high or not.
Thom Yorke stole a harmony from The Little Mermaid.
Sleep is so precious. My eyes are hella heavy.
You know it is quite intimidating. To do the stupidest things.
Count the headlights on the highway.
How do I lose my pants so often?
Hold me close, tiny dancer.
It's only the 2nd week of classes.
It's Mardi Gras, this weekend.
It's the superbowl, this weekend.
I'm working this weekend.
Debating if I should go to work today.
I feel like vomitus residue is in my throat.
I didn't vomit.
Oh yeah.
Sexual Seduction.
Rekindling my love for Jim Halpert.
Justifying my obsession with Michael Cera.
I enjoy Explosions in the Sky, Jonquil and Bowerbirds when I study.

My Misinformed Opinionated Ways.

Ok I have a very few things that I actually take sides for because I usually can understand the point of view of both sides. The one organization that I don't understand is PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). I often see and read about radical protest of people posing nude like animals. Telling me that I shouldn't wear animal products, that I shouldn't eat animals and all this such. So my question is what do you want me to do? You want me to stop eating meats. That's plausible, but I'm just saying if I was a caveman that it'd be impossible for me to survive without meat. You don't want me to wear leather and fur. I can do it, fur is gross and leather is awesome, but I can live without it. So what do you want us to do with all of these animals? Now that they have the freewill to run around and shit the country. I can't feed them, right? Because that's degrading to them. They obviously can find and feed themselves. I can't keep them in a kennel. I can't keep them in my house or a animal shelter. So you, PETA decide that it's best to kill the animal. Am I right? I wouldn't know because I'm misinformed about your tactics, but that is what I so often read. I probably won't find that information on your website, but it's probably true. You kill animals b/c its better than being in the hands of safe and loving family that degrades them by making them do a trick for a treat. I mostly dislike the radical tactics. I don't know how being radical solves anything. I truly don't know so can someone give me an example and explain PETA to me. Don't get me wrong I love animals, but how do you want me to ethically treat an animal? Tell me what's wrong and what's right.

According to Peta.org
Wrongs - NO fishing, hunting, wearing furs or leathers, no eating dairies or meats, no horse drawn carriages, no experimenting or testing on animals, no animal abuse, no animals as entertainment as in circus or zoos

My views on what I'm doing wrong
1. I'm never going to give up dairy.
2. I'm going to experiment on animals to improve the quality of life for man. I'm not going to risk it on a human.
3. I enjoy the zoo and most animals are saved and incapable of surviving on their own in nature.
4. I enjoy the circus, but the cirque du soleil version where people are exploited for being freaks.
5. Chicken is delicious and I'm never going to give that up.

Other opinions against PETA - petakillsanimals.com
"peta killed over 97% of animals held in their captivity"
Brings that to a total of 17,400 animals....

Fruit Snacks are delicious.

Ok last night I have to say I had the strangest dreams well actually there isn't a time when I don't have strange dreams.
1st dream sequence
I went to my friend Irene's house for a family affair. It was a normal asian affair. I mean lots of food and asian relatives. So I'm used to this b/c I have a bunch of those at my own home. But Irene was about to go to this private family asian affair with her younger relatives, and wouldn't let me go. Which I was completely and utterly confused. The main reason was that at this affair you needed to wear red! It was b/c I didn't have any red on! So that was ridiculous and I had a red addidas jacket on hand and put that on. "so NOW can I come?" and Irene was like "oh..yeah. now you can come." So I was confused on that. That was most of my dream.
2nd dream sequence
All of my friends were in Chicago. I don't know what we were doing there probably something stupid. But something tragic happened and it was overtaken by ZOMBIES!! (sidenote: I have a real irrational fear of zombies) So we were trying to get out of Chicago b/c we didn't want to be become zombies. So we're running around trying to escape then we find out that there is a train that will take us to a suburb that is zombieless. So we get to the train station and of course it is jam packed with people b/c they are also trying to escape. So we're just waiting and waiting and finally we get to the front of the line and people are leaving these trains half empty. So instead of waiting for a new completely empty train that we weren't even sure might come we just jumped on and made a really crowded one. Oh I forgot to say that these weren't really trains they were basically a seat on a panel on a train track. They didn't have walls and comfortable and exposed us to all the elements of the world. So if the zombies found us they could have easily jumped on and attacked us b/c there was no walls to prevent them. So all of my friends were shoved on this train and I'm sitting by myself in my single seat in complete fear. So I am just dreading the moment the zombies will find us, but there was more things to worry about. These trains had to go through tunnels and in these tunnels inhabited bugs and birds. So every time we entered a tunnel I just ducked my head in my legs as these bugs tried to bite me and birds shat on me. It was awful b/c we went through several different tunnels. So we finally arrived in Evanston, a suburb north of Chicago and home of Northwestern. It was a completely heavenly scene. It was snow covered and leftover holiday scene was still effect. It was breathtaking considering that awful dark zombie ridden scene we were in. So now that we were safe from the zombies, we had to find a way back home. My friend Emily had a car for some reason and was going to drive home and I was going to get a ride with her. But Liz and Lindsey already claimed seats and I asked to obtain the last seat. BUT NICK already asked her and NICK who wasn't even on the train we were on b/c we lost him running to the train had of course found his way to Evanston and claimed my seat back home. So I was really annoyed at that. (but seriously that is something nick would do is completely get lost but eventually end back home completely safe) I thought that Emily should've gave the seat to me. So I'm running around trying to find a ride back home and I find Elizabeth. I ask her to let me borrow her car or for her to drive home and take me. But b/c being a student at Northwestern that she would stay there to get some studying done. I was extremely annoyed at that and considering that the zombies would have penetrated Evanston eventually. But I wasn't going to argue with her. So I was still rideless and freaking out. But then I see Fawn, Cassie's mom, driving in her mini van and she points to me and I point to her! It was the happiest moment in my life. I quickly jump in to the van and grab a seat in the back next to a random little girl and Cassie. Kathryn was in the front. I basically flipped the finger to everyone as we drive off to safety. It was definitely awkward sitting next to that creepy little girl though.

Those were my dreams though.

Another Blog About Music.

I don't know why I always write about music, but I do.
I've been listening to Kate Nash a lot. I know I was really slow on this band wagon, but it's really lame that mtv is promoting her the same time I kind of discovered her. So I feel guilty that I am being what it seems swayed by mtv. I swear I discovered a day before! a day before! Please let me keep my indie cred. :(
But i was duped at work today to close for my boss. So I basically just got off work while my boss went home to shit his pants. I think he was really sick probably b/c he ate too much domino's pizza.
Continuing as I was driving home I was listening to Justice and this car in front of me kept braking for no reason. and then they kept doing it to the rhythm of Phantom. As they were doing this we were passing a construction site with those random flashing things. and they strangely enough also went with the music. Maybe the song had way too many intricate rhythms or i was just wanting to see what i want. But wouldn't that be a sweet music video?

Words that are Misunderstood.

I was going to make of list of things that I accomplished this break so here it goes
....

Looks like I've done nothing thus far.

:::

I am currently watching TRL. I watch it from time to time to check up on on current society and see how its doing. It's a mixture of r&b and emo rock. Sounds about right. But I will have to admit that I really enjoy Chris Brown's Kiss Kiss but that song is so 2 months ago. Little did I know. That kid can dance, but I was patiently waiting for this song to appear on TRL and I heard a succession of 1 syllable words so I assumed to be that song. I was wrong! It was a song called CrushCrushCrush by Paramore. I was duped. They shouldn't make songs that are so closely related to each other. (Live blogging:NEW BRITNEY VIDEO ON TRL!!! 3:12pm) The songs are nothing related or even the same genre. But the point is that songs are so easy to misinterpret. I remember that I used to think that Shakira's Tortura was actually called tortuga which would mean the song is about a turtle and not torture.
Well we were singing misinterpreted lyrics at Domino's and confessed a bunch of misung lyrics. That new song by I have no idea who but its called Apologize but a friend believed that the lyrics were it's too late to get a job when in fact the lyrics were its too late to apologize that made me laugh pretty hard. While another friend thought that eric clapton's lay lady lay was lady has an abominable snowman. I don't know how she got that. But still pretty funny. Continuing Evil Woman was sung as medieval woman. That's a understandable mistake though. I mean I think it's really funny that people interpret songs to whatever they want, but sometimes it just seems a little off and you still continue to sing the wrong lyrics. If I were an artist I'd be kind of mad that people were messing up my lyrics. It's like interpreting a book. If you take The Bible and think of it as highly anti religious and satanic then something is wrong, right? Well some parts of The Bible are pretty scary, so I guess that's not a really viable comparison. But who has the time to go to songmeanings.net to find the real lyrics or sitting there to write down the lyrics. I used to do that well at least for Nsync songs. (Liveblogging: Rihanna has long hair in her new video and how did she get so good so quickly!? 3:25pm) So I mean I guess I can forgive you for singing the wrong lyrics, but my patience is so long...

You can find a good mashup of Chris Brown vs. AC Newman on thehoodinternet.com
I am also really enjoying The Cool Kids vs. Le Loup
oh yeah, if you are the hood internet googling yourself come to my school! billikenclub.slu.edu
