Jack Johnson < 3
Title is pretty self explanatory. I love rap but am not exclusive. <3 for this music!
Depression?
I think I might be depressed. I go through some honestly great days, and then some totally shitty days... I seem to dwell on the shitty. You could call it a funk I suppose, and I hate the way I feel whenever it happens. It tends to center around unhappiness and loneliness, but mostly the loneliness. Not exactly loneliness, but it's different; I mean, I make friends easily, but make very close friends with difficulty. What would happen if I lost those one or two super close ones? Or, worse yet, never meet someone new that I could be close with? Blechhhhhhhggggggg.
On a totally unrelated (well, actually, maybe it's somewhat related), one of my friends' father has cancer. Her little sister wrote a facebook status regarding the cancer, yet in a really indirect way- and I don't believe that many people know about the situation. I want to write a comment of support, yet no one knows about the situation; I feel like a simple 'like' doesn't express what I want to express; and I'm not sure if I'm close enough friends with the little sister to write an inbox message to her. Fucking stymied. I think I might write her a message.
On yippayap, there's a hashtag for problems like these: #firstworldproblems. Pretty self explanatory. Fuck.

On the Office
Michael Scott asks, "If the ship was sinking who would you save?"
Jim says, "I would save the client."
Jim walks away, and looks at the camera, and says, "Just for the record, I would save the receptionist."
Backstory: the receptionist is Pam, who is engaged to her boyfriend. Jim is in love with her. Pam and her boyfriend set a date for the marriage that night, and Jim breaks up with his girlfriend. At the end of the episode, Jim goes to Michael and says that they he and Pam had a connection, but now it's all over because she's getting married. Michael says, "BFD, man. Big fucking deal. Engaged isn't married."
My best friend Sarah has had a boyfriend for three years. I've loved her for two years, and have hid feelings from people fairly well (barring two, that I can count, drunken breakdowns). Now I'm trying to get interested in a different girl while maintaining a friendship with Sarah, and every time I try I get the feeling that I'm just not with the right girl. Is the right thing to do to hang around and hope they break up? Or is the right thing to do to tell her my feelings and lose my best friend? I feel like these types of friendships are a once in a lifetime thing; the type where others look over and say , "I wonder if I'll ever be like that."
It's basically dating, without anything physical. It's fucking frustrating.
That first bit, the bit about The Office- If you substituted my name in for Jim's, it's the same story. THE SAME FUCKING STORY. The only difference is that I doubt mine can turn out happily ever after.

American Gangster
Here we go, post numero uno. I feel like already this is going to turn into a music blog (given how dumb I feel talking about myself, so unless there's something serious, I'll try not to keep it personal), so here we go just to start off:
American Gangster by Jay-Z
First off, I would like to say that I have been listening to this album pretty much on repeat for the last couple days. The soulful samples that were utilized in "American Dreamin'" and "Fallin" make my day every day. I do have a question though; on "Roc Boys", there is a voice in the background that sounds suspiciously like Kanye. And this album came out after his debut, and after he'd been producing for several years, so it's not that odd - but I can't find out if it's actually him, which is a shame since I would love to add that info in my iTunes library. Finally, "Blue Magic" lets the champagne pop. Love it! Overall, I'd give it an approximate 4 or so stars (Bears? Glasses? Any other rating system? Maybe I'll just stick with stars).
On an unrelated note, I've started the project of listening to and rating every single song in my library. A mammoth project, sad to say. I started out rating Jay-Z, and have come to the realization that Blueprint 3 was decidedly substandard. A damn shame considering how good the concert was!
