take my advice on this
Posted May 11, 2008
if you ever have to make up for a day you missed at school for gym, and your school is like mine, (so you have to use a heart-rate monitor and keep your heart-rate in the "zone" for 25 minutes) and you decide to go for a "brisk walk" like i did, and you like to listen to music, and if you're like me you'll choose an album of songs to do your oh-so-cool brisk walk to, do NOT choose "transatlanticism" by death cab for cutie! stupid stupid stupid idea, i mean, i love death cab for cutie, but the songs on transatlanticism have just such a slow rhythm, it's hard to keep your heart-rate in "the zone" (143-163 beats per minute) because i wanted so bad to just walk slowly with the music, and i really just felt like listening to the whole album because i'm weird like that (and i'm still using a borrowed ipod because i'm still poor and i still don't have one of my own, let's not forget a total DOUCHE stole my ipod, but i could have changed it to some other more fast-paced songs, but i really wasn't in the mood to do that.) ah yeah whatevs, i still managed to keep my heart-rate in the "zone" (i am really really tired of putting the hyphen between heart and rate, so i'm going to talk about something else)
uh happy mother's day, to all the mothers reading this, but you mothers should get back to your children
i've got a lot more to write about on here, such as my morning, what i bought at the mall today and how i feel about malls (reading it might make you laugh, but it might also make you think i'm a loser), how i go through my favorite artist/band to listen to at the moment (it changes every few days, somedays it's just like, oh how i love motion city soundtrack, somedays it's like, wow i just can't stop listening to the fray, ya get the picture?) and how right now it is mister jack johnson (love love loved his music since the summer of last year though, when i found out about him and bought all his albums, but ya know you come and go with how much you listen to an artist's music you love) buuuuut i'm going to watch the most recent episode of lost on abc.com, and then i'll finish this later today or maybe tomorrow, and i'll leave you with some of my favorite of jack johnson's lyrics (not my favorite of his happy, carefree lyrics though, my favorite of his "wow he really knows what he's talking about" lyrics)
"it wasn't me," says the boy with the gun
"sure i pulled the trigger, but it needed to be done
because life's been killing me ever since it begun
you can't blame me because i'm too young"
"you can't blame me, sure the killer was my son
but i didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
it's the killing on his tv screen
you can't blame me, it's those images he's seen"
"you can't blame me," says the media man
"i wasn't the one who came up with the plan
i just point my camera at what the people want to see
it's a two way mirror and you can't blame me"
"you can't blame me," says the singer of the song
or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
"it's only entertainment, as anyone can see
it's smoke machines and makeup, you can't fool me"
it was you, it was me, it was every man
we've all got the blood on our hands
we only receive what we demand
and if we want hell, then hell's what we'll have
i would turn on the tv, but it's so embarrassing
to see all the other people, don't know what they mean
it was magic at first, but let everyone down
and now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn it around
(okay, so that was pretty much the whole song except the first verse which is repeated at the end, but you really need that much of the lyrics to realize what he's saying, you know?)
update: oh my god!!! i just watched the lost episode i said that i was going to, ah so so so intense! well now i have something to totally scramble my brain with until the next episode, oh my... oh and it's way too late to write about the things i said i would write about, i'll write them in here tomorrow probably, okay good night for now
