I Never Really Noticed July 17, 2008

How much i listen to Coldplay until yesterday at work. Me and Evan were begging for some NKOTB, and Sheila told us not while we had customers in the store. So she put on Coldplay. Not like a few songs by Coldplay, but every song they’ve had a video for or recorded live at a concert.

And I at least knew the chorus to every song if I didn’t know the entire song through. Which is so weird. Because very rarely am I like, You know, some Coldplay would be great right now. It happens, don’t get me wrong, but it’s rare. I just never realized how often I must listen to them to know every song on a ninety minute block of them. And at first I even liked all the Coldplay chunk. Nice and mellow. Not to mention beautiful piano and vocals.

But of course Evan and I grew antsy and it became a game to see if there was another one coming. Bets were made. Winnings were ignored. But the worst part was after the last song in the set, there was a block of Snow Patrol after them and that made me realize how much I don’t listen to them. Which made me sad. I know one song, Chasing Cars and I don’t even know it that well. Who knew Snow Patrol had so much music out there. It was so crazy.

Well. That was a pointless post, but Coldplay just came up on my play list here at home and it reminded me of yesterday.  =]

You Know What… July 9, 2008

I actually like that “Shake It” song. I turned on my TV this morning and put on XM while i was getting ready, and i found my self dancing all round my room. That’s something I haven’t done in quite some time. It was much needed though. It put me in a nice good mood for the rest of my day.
You know what else? I love old nineties music. I was talking with Evan and we were jammin’ out to some old school music. (Okay, maybe the nineties isn’t old school to you. I don’t actually know who reads this thing, no one ever comments.) But nineties for me is elementary school, rocking on the playground with my Hitclips. Bust out some Nsync, maybe a little Britney Spears. But also get a little alternative with some Goo Goo Dolls. Depending on my mood.

Music has always been a big part of my life. I always thought that i could sing…I won’t though, so don’t get your hopes up. I still sing in my car, or to the radio or iPod or band. Whatever. But my dreams of being a Pop Star faded in the 5th grade when i got an all girl group together and we almost killed each other over the name of the group. We had written a few songs though, and looking back on them, they weren’t half bad considering we were ten. I wrote one about this guy who has liked me since the fourth grade (which is a long time in kid years apparently like forever). It was intense. Haha. I’ll have to post it on here sometime and let every have a good laugh. Jay Myles, where ever you are, I wrote a song about you and you will get none of the profit if i ever sell it =] (yes, i am that sure of my songwriting abilities)

Maybe someday I’ll get back on the horse, face my stage fright and sing? Probably not though. That kindof life just isn’t for me. The worship leaders at my church can’t even walk around our campus with out being ambushed half the time. I like my privacy and my anonymity.

Okay, I think i’m typed out. I managed almost four hundred words on absolute nonsense. It was time for something like that. My last few posts have all deep and stuff. Haha. If you know me at all, you would find that fact very weird. I’m a surface thinker. Life is much easier that way <3
