I am a failure at this blogging thing already and I've barely started. AH well...since I haven't posted in about half a month, I'll try to make this special, although it probably won't be since forced awesomeness just isn't much to write home about. So...
maybe I'll just update you on the life and times of me. Coolest website ever to play in the background while you're online has to be hands down:
www.pandora.com
You wouldn't know it but I'm listening to it right now, and I tell you it be great. Essentially what it does is base a radio station on an artist or song you like and with each song they play you can rate whether you enjoy what they are playing or not so that gradually the station becomes your own little personalized vault of kickassedness.
So far my stations are:
Elvis Presley radio
Nina Simone radio
Modest Mouse radio
The Dodos radio
CAKE radio
Old 97's radio
Sean Hayes radio
Allison radio
Beck radio
Running to Stand Still radio
Waiting in Vain radio
Bob Dylan radio
and so far the ones really paying off have been Modest Mouse, Nina Simone, Bob, and Elvis.... but all of them are pretty good depending on what mood you're in.
So check it out, if you want. Makes for some seriously nice background music for homework, surfing, partying, sex, okay...I don't know why you'd want to use a computer ANYWHERE near where you'd be having sex or a party (nerd alert)
unless you were really hard up for some music, but there you have it. Pandora is an option, so make me proud and get in that box.
You know, I doubt ANYBODY really reads this thing anyway, so all this typing is probably beside the point, then again, some of the best work of literature, art, humanities and inventions in general in the course of history and mankind and the world,
have been done when the individual or group felt like they were on their own.
Random fact:Vincent Van Gogh didn't sell a single painting during the course of his career, shot himself in the chest when he was 37, and died two days later in a motel bed.
And now he IS art. Who doesn't know Starry Night? Or a sunflower?
With that said, here's the quote of the day from Tropic thunder:
"Man, I don't drop character til the DVD commentary."
Enjoy:
Here's what struck me:
ReplyDelete1. "kickassedness" -a word who's awesome definition is surpassed only by its own wicked spelling.
2.I don't know why you'd want to use a computer ANYWHERE near where you'd be having sex or a party (nerd alert}..." -damn, I tripped the alarm.
3. You know, I doubt ANYBODY really reads this thing anyway..." -I'm anybody and I read it but the pretty pictures and moving picture screens are cool too.
