Is it just me or does it sound like the harmony is cats meowing at 2:38? 

…it’s just me isn’t it?

Salt-n-peppa and cute animals together in one video? Parfait!

Makes me want to buy a Hyundai Sonata… o_o

“It’s like being jealous of the sunshine”

“I think one of the most difficult cases of space-cat photo-bombing was with the classic Hubble Pillars image that we’re all familiar with.” 

I have the most gigantic crush on this guy. I can’t even stand it. 

“A dollar makes me holler honey boo boo child”

9 words that should never come out of a toddlers mouth. 

The Wonder Years, Local Man Ruins Everything, from Suburbia album

The fountain was off/

This is the first time I’ve been back to the city in months/

I’m trying to hold it together but irony’s found cracks in the foundation/

You know, I try so hard to be some great white hope but I can’t shake the feeling that tonight I’m gonna end up shaking in bed alone/

I’m not a self-help book; I’m just a fucked up kid/

I had to take my own advice and I did/

Now I’m waiting for it to sink in/

Expect me standing tall, back against the wall/

cause what I learned was it’s not about forcing happiness; it’s about not letting the sadness win/

I don’t have roses in the closet but I’ve got pictures in a drawer and it’s everything left in me not to stare at them anymore/

I walked upstairs and shaved my beard/

I felt like I was holding sadness here

Man guys, it’s been a rough, rough six months. I never, never vent in public. I’m one of those no-one-will-ever-see-me-cry types, but this song hit home so hard today. I just finished cleaning up from a party where 35 of the people in Atlanta who love me the most came and shared fantastic food and drinks and brought me flowers and gifts and hugged me and told me they loved me and yet at the end of the day I feel so profoundly alone and like the walls of my one bedroom house are laughing at me. It takes a Herculean effort for me to lift my eyes to the world right now. I wish that I believed in God so that I’d have someone to pray to, someone to ask for the strength to inhale and exhale, to rinse and repeat. 

Yes, I know I just posted an LMFAO vid, but bear with me. These videos are fantastic. I want my entire life to be like this video: dance music, hipster boys, sequins, suspenders, and all around well-coordinated notgivingafuckness. 

(Oh, and I need some Toms that say “party” and “rock” across the tops of them. And if someone could find me a nice hipster boy with thick glasses and lots of tattoos and an advanced degree…yeah, thanks.)

This video has brightened my day immeasurably.  

So, my birthday’s coming up and this kid and I are having a joint birthday par-tay (yay December babies!), and we are having a theme party because….well, theme party. 

Our trivia team last night wracked our brains trying to think of the perfect theme, but I’m pretty sure that LMFAO just took the cake (the birthday cake?).  Plus, I’ve totally been looking for an excuse to buy these and/ or these. 

I don’t usually post funny youtube videos…

…but when I do, I can barely paste them in my tumblr because I’m laughing too hard. 

My iPod has been on shuffle for the past four hours and this song has played three times already. That’s not supposed to happen when you have 40 gigs of music, right? So, I think that means that it gets to be the Peanut Butter and Jam of the day. 

Ben Kweller “Walk on Me”, from “Sha Sha”

PS, Ben, you are mega ultra cool. 

Happy Halloween, Italian-style. 

“Sometimes when I run out of candy, I-a give-‘em the canoli. Worst case, I give ‘em the meat-a-ball.”

“An’ den I call all of my cumbads and later we go to the square, and we have a little something for us, you know”

HAHA

This has been a favorite song of mine for a while. I lost all of my iTunes song ratings/playlists when I got my new computer 2 months ago, so my listening habits have been kind of whack-a-doo. 

Today, I had my iTunes on random, so I went from Christmas carols to Rage Against the Machine to….oh, hey, favorite song, I missed you. 

I hope this doesn’t sound overly emotional and I’m going to make a bunch more posts tonight to bury this, but goddamn it, Adele, you read my mind. 

EDIT: I am pathetic. This video just made me weep like a child. Get it together, woman. 

(Preface: yes, I’m aware that I have a childish sense of humor.)

This commercial for Energy Sheets gets me every time. 

**Harmonica noise**

So, I was about to post my “peanut butter and jam” of the day when I realized that my previous 10 or so jams have been goddamn depressing (go ahead and chalk that one up to a break-up that’s done a little more than take the wind out of my sails). I think that I’ve been spending too much time with individuals of the female persuasion ever since the Great Dumping of 2011 because I have been a gross pool of lady-emotions for the past month. Since when do I cry? Seriously, in the past I’ve wondered if my heart was actually made of concrete.

With that said, it’s time to put a little bit of wind back into my sails and stop crying like a goddman woman. Here’s a song that never fails to make me want to run around, kicking ass and taking names. 

(PS- Rivers Cuomo, please smoosh me.)

(PPS- I’m pretty sure that between the glass of wine I had for dinner and the swig of vodka I accidentally took, that I’m drunk and will regret this post and all of its cussing in the morning. Good day, sir.)
