Confessions
I cannot stand Taylor Swift. Just SHUT UP. STOP SQUINTING YOUR EYES LIKE THAT. Her stupid acceptance speeches are so FAKE and stupid and just shut up. Why does she make me feel so many negative emotions. I wish teenage pop/country singers didn’t have a hold on my feelings like this.
She seriously wins all of the awards ever since the VMAs probably 25% because Kanye “ruined her...
Okay I have an important matter to discuss
I usually dig the hits that the mainstream digs. Well, I guess that’s an overstatement. I should say that I usually at least understand WHY the mainstream digs the songs they dig. Like, I get it. I have an appreciation for pop music that many people who listen to the kind of music I listen to lack. HOWEVER, I DO NO UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE ENJOYS ‘I GOT A FEELING’ BY THE BLACK EYED...

Literature from my youth part 2
I was raised in a Berenstain Bears type of home. This, along with ‘no girls allowed’ stand out in my mind for some reason. We had at least 50 of these books though, so I don’t think I could ever pick a favorite.

I need to express my Kid Cudi feelings.
I like Kid Cudi, but it’s a hesitant like. It’s obvious that he’s trying to do something different in the rap game, working with MGMT and Ratatat and all of these “indie” hipster bands. Also it’s adorable that he’s BFFs with Drake and his album had some dope songs; however, I get embarrassed for him a lot. Those hipster glasses? Please get rid of them...

I remember one afternoon a few years ago I went through all of these graduation speeches by famous people. I was just in that kind of nostalgic wanting to cry mood. I came across Conan O’Brien’s commencement speech to Harvard from 2000 and I could not stop crying and laughing. I feel like this is the appropriate time to post it, as it’s very relevant. It’s quite long, so...

I went out last night so I couldn’t watch Conan’s last show live, but I recorded and finally got around to watching it just now. I am so so sad. His final speech was so incredibly bittersweet, I swear there is not a more kindhearted person in the world. I started bawling when he addressed “the young people” and his voice started to crack really bad and he was trying to hold...
To shower or not to shower?
I spend a relatively large portion of my life pondering this question. By the time I actually decide I usually don’t have time to take a shower anyway. My liife.
