YES. music!!

So my iPod melted 8 months ago. melted. I connected it to the computer and it heated up. That was the end of that. It was toast. I didn't really want to tell my parents because they do tons of stuff for me already so I figured that I'd go without music for a couple months. No. Big Deal. Right? Ahhh crap man. So wrong. 8 whole months without music. What a total nightmare.

Suffering's over though. I got music back yesterday. I can't believe how deprived I've been. Music is such a huge part of my life though, I have no idea how I survived through the music-less time. It's OK though, it's over now. So how I got my music back is my friend lent me her ipod shuffle. I'm loving having the music back. Plus, the shuffle lets me rediscover all of my old music. They should call this thing the ipod nostalgia. What sucks is if i want to listen to the same song again I have to press next 289 times. Lame.

One of my favorite songs right now is Very Busy People - The Limousines.

Truthfully, the lyrics are controversial, but what I love so much about the song is that it's so REAL. It cheers me up on any day. It's just something you can relate to somewhat. My favorite lines from the song are -

'and when we're done
sleeping we'll stay busy
dreaming of the things
we don't have yet

We Are Very Busy People

but we've always got time for new friends'

The people in the song just seem so laid back and carefree despite the song title, very busy people. It's so real because it's like hey, we're really busy people, but we'll make time for ourselves, we'll make time for you too.It relaxes me. DUDE. speaking of very busy people, today after school Will Tang, Victor Wong, Taylor Chin and I head to Foothill for some pickup basketball. Halfway through we ended up de-shirting ourselves because it was so hot. About a third of the way through the game, Will found a dodgeball and threw it at Victor. That caused a dodgeball hunt which ended with us pelting each other with dodgeballs. Shirtless. It was a great day. But totally inappropriate, considering that there were elementary schoolers around. And I saw my math teacher. Super awkward.

Another song that I'm completely obsessed with right now is Smile - Uncle Kracker.

Best line: You're cooler than the flip side of my pillow.
Actually the whole chorus is pretty great.

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

That song makes me so happy. It doesn't hurt that the dude's name is Kracker. I love white men who call themselves white but food at the same time.

Last great song for righ now. We intertwine - The Hush Sound.

This. Is. So. CUTE! It's so childlike and cute. It makes me wanna squeeze the cheeks of whoever's around when I listen to it. And if no one's around, it makes me wanna squeeze my own.

That's all. So glad the music's back. [:
