don't sleep.

on norah jones radio. seriously, pandora.com. dont sleep on it, but sleep to it. its quite amazing. the compilation of songs is perfect to say the least. type in any other artist or song, you can expect to get stuff thats real similar that you'll like, but chances are, you'll get a bunch of other stuff that's just not what you were looking for. with norah jones radio, you'll enjoy every song and anxiously await the next. 

figurative lyrics.

i gotta appreciate music first and foremost, but something about poetic lyrics gives music so much more power. we most often fall in love with songs that we consider the truth, and lately i've been diggin the alternative/folk/rock lyrics. unlike what some people may call "conscious hip-hop," alternative songs are much more than a set of truthful verses. the verses are deeper, using metaphors, rather than massive amounts of similes. Crazy that the truth can be described and interpreted in so many different ways, and appeal to others though they may not have experienced the same things. lyricists who convey their message so well and so beautifully, that everyone can share compassion over what they're feeling. what i mean is, its kinda funny how you can describe your emotions in a way that others who do not feel them with you, can. 

i love these lyrics and this song. its called "heavy" by holly brook. i feel her emotion, its so intense.

Now i've come to cry 
Shed your skin to rest my naked eye 
And criticize 
All that i implore 
Seems to be one foot outside that door 
Coming between me and waking 

Underneath the corset of your mystery 
Piece by piece undress you from your history 
I'm sleeping with seclusion in sweet disarray 

You can go heavy on me 
And i will not weigh you down, down, down 
You can be steady and clean 
I can take it 
Heavy on me 
And i will not weigh you down 

Born unto this pride 
Silence is something you can't hide 
You can't deny...us 
Nothing has been said 
Yet so many words have filled my head 
Now they completely surround me 

Tie the lines of honest conductivity 
Caught between the center of our gravity 
I don't have that much time to burn anymore

weekend debriefing.

so last thursday was the longest day in life. i slept at about 5am and then had to wake up at 9 for discussion and class at 11. BOO. so i had a midterm at 5. so i studied all day, killed my midterm, and after it was on and poppin. HELLO weekend! i picked up roslyn, we went home to get ready real quick, met up with dom and will and went out to the plaza to eat at Johnny's. those burgers were pretty bomb. we went to trader joes to find that aloe juice that we've all been hyped about all week. roslyn and i go hardcore to find that shit. korean aloe juice with the aloe pulp is the most amazing shit ever. its hella good for you AND hella good. it sounds off, but its totally amazing when you first taste it. anyWAY, we get home and start getting ready, the rest of the night crew comes and we started drinking. crown royal, how typical, everyone who knows about unit 102 knows we're all about it. thats our drink of choice. but we do our prepartying activities and leave the house just before midnight. we're rollin 5 girls deep, step into the party... and i dont even remember seeing most of the crew til we left the party at 4am. what the hell? i couldnt even believe we were out that long. roslyn and i killed some guys at beer pong, and dom and i aparrently were boo'd up for the night. HAHA. madonna and yosan, the time we spent at the party was minimal. i know ya'll had fun tho cuz as soon as we got to the spot ya'll were knocked on my couch. haha.

 anyhow. so roslyn and i wake up the next morning craving some milk! we head to mcdonalds cuz our lazy asses just wanna hit up the drive thru for the 99cent milk chugs. i head to class for a bit and then we meet up again to hit the mall. roslyn bought the whole mall and for once in my life, i practiced this thing i guess is called self control? i dunno, never done it before. but anyway, as soon as we get home i gotta get to gettin ready for the party to help the other girls get ready. everyone was stuntin' that night, lookin mighty fabulous. everyone was also really fucked up, too bad stupid cops broke up the party that hadnt even reached its full potential. shitty. the rest of the weekend was a blur, spent it intoxicating ourselves. kris and i threw down a huge dinner for the boys on saturday. sunday i spent in solitude til i drove to the valley. kicked it in shit, did more intoxicating and yeah, im waiting and studying til i gotta head back to riverside later. midterm tomorrow. BLAH. all good, ill knock it out. this thursday im going to SF. i already know, its going to be sickk.

sharing discoveries.

word of mouf. how convenient, sometimes. as recommended to me, pandora.com is a bomb ass music website. type in an artist, it finds artists and songs of the similar music type. its sick, good way to expand your music horizons. see for yourself.
