my...

it has been awhile...

i haven't looked around this here old blog in a few weeks...

*rummaging through old boxes, stacked newspapers, and cobwebs. finds book, blows dust off cover, replaces*

it's been really hectic in my life lately... lots of shiz going down and none of it particularly pleasant (as if shiz is ever pleasant). politics, work, relationships, life - it all gets you down.

i'm just plain tired... of it all! so much so i haven't even had the energy to hunt around my favourite blogs, although sometimes i do and they bring a much needed smile to my face.

one more month and a week left in this country... can't wait to get back to my life in the t-dot. i've got a few things to look forward to, like movies on wednesday, and my friend liz is coming down to visit for a week *yay*...

maybe i'll be hanging around here a little bit in the next few weeks, but i wouldn't count on it. i'll probably get back to my regularly scheduled blogging once i get back to cda.

until then, peace out ya'll...

i totally just pirated this cd from a good friend of mine (thanks, j!!)... i love this band. maybe it's his immature voice - i can't wrap my head around it just yet - or maybe it's the rock instrumentals but this band... i love them!
however, i have to admit even though after first listening to and falling in love with the album, after subsequent... listenings... i've decided it seems like they phoned in a lot of the lyrics.
don't get me wrong, adam i lurve you... but there's a lot of chorus repetition, long pauses, and vocal play - it's kinda like they wrote something because the deadline came up and they were pressed for time.
somewhat disappointing... the first album was great, i'm hoping the next blows me away
