How Do You Do It, Make Me Feel Like I Do

My jaw literally dropped and I froze as I let my ears focus into the familiar tones of the most beautiful male singing voice one could ever hear. I dropped the clothes I had been folding and went to my radio to turn it up. Could it be? I think I'm going to throw up, it is!!! That voice could only belong to one: Brandon Boyd, in the brand new Incubus song "Black Heart Inertia". I almost couldn't contain myself in the unfathomable joy I was not expecting to experience this morning as I was cleaning my room accompanied by the sounds of 107.7 The End. This (clearly) was the first time I had ever heard their brand new track off of their upcoming album, which unfortunately contains only two new tracks and the rest are greatest hits. Since I own all the Incubus albums and therefore have all those songs you would think I would opt not to buy this one when it comes out on June 16 (I'm already counting down). But remember who is typing this blog, the girl who hates burned CD's and downloading music and actually has the real albums to back up at least 75% of the music on her iPod. So for those two new songs, I need the album. Plus there could be pictures of Brandon inside. To me he is the quintessential "hot guy" and I personally think every guy should strive to look more like him.

How can you not be in love with that?

I solved my recent dilemma in purchasing two tickets to the Cold War Kids concert tonight. I decided to leave the decision up to fate as to whether I should go to The Killers or Cold War Kids and it answered with The Killers show selling out, which I figured it would. I'm perfectly fine with that, I'm a bigger Cold War Kids fan anyway. So in a matter of hours my brother and I will be at Showbox enjoying the sounds of one of the better bands that has emerged over the last few years.

All in all I'm in love with Incubus and generally obsessed with music.

Oh Those Days In The Sun, They Bring A Tear To My Eye

The follows is dedicated to Miss Opalgene

I was talking to OP on the phone yesterday, which hasn't happened in a while, but it was my birthday and she called me. I take all the blame, by the way, as to why we haven't talked a lot since you moved OP. We ALL know I'm not the girl to just call and chat for no reason no matter how good of friends we are. I've only talked to my wife (Janie) like 3 times since I moved to WA. ("what am I gonna say - Hey, I just want you to know that I'm still alive. Ok talk to you later. - I hate calling people" - inside joke with my sister) It doesn't mean I love you less OP, or anyone else for that matter, you know how I am and that is exactly how our love is. In fact quite possibly it means I love you so much that I can't even bare the pain of hearing your voice and not having you near me. Let's go with that and not that I'm horrible at keeping in touch. (I wonder how my sister's been since I left) Anyway, we decided I should write a blog about the way we are today compared to when we first started hanging out. Oh the laughter we shared in the hilarity of how much we have changed.

So I am now 22 and my step sister just turned 18, which caused me to look at my life since I turned 18. I realized, holy crap, I've actually grown up a lot and and am WAY different than when I was 18. When I was 18 is when I first met OP when we both worked at Jamba Juice in Orem. HAHA I just thought of so many funny things that happened there. (Just for you OP - Eric falling down while screamin SHIZAM!; throwing ice at the ceiling; her tattoo; kelly's napkin note; "we should sell kittens here") I know you are all wondering - yes it was I that said we should sell kittens there, and I still think they should. Aw man does anyone remember my kitten Marbles? I miss that annoying beast that peed in my car. Ok back to the subject, if I can ever keep on the subject. (My brothers friend literally said "I love going to dinner with you guys, it's like going to dinner with a bunch of drunks" cuz we are all like this, ok mostly me. shut up)
ANYWAY, we were just laughing about the things we used to do and what we do now. For example how we used to go to Mo's in SLC EVERY Sunday night and now every Sunday you will find us at church. Neither of us could really have cared less about going to church back then. I don't think I even started going back to church or even considering myself LDS until March 07. I never saw that coming when I was 18, 19. Oh man OP remember this time - Area 51, you and Kelly, me driving her Jetta home - I think you can see what I'm talking about, funny times. That's not all we reminisced about but no need to tell my life story on the Internet. We just looked back at our old selves and realized we were completely useless and going nowhere and it was hilarious and good to see that we are now currently "going somewhere" at least hopefully. Life is funny and looking back sometimes I wonder how it all worked out/is working out the way it has/is. Like holy crap did my best friend Chelsea really die in Nov 05 and I really actually survived through that. Granted yes it took me til about March 07 until I fully felt normal again (notice that coincides with something else, hmm funny) but I did. And a whole lot of other stuff but I think everyone knows what I mean when you look back at your life and realize all the things that have happened. Weird.

Well that's all. Funny OP isn't it. ah life.

Chicks Love My G'd up Swagger

Sweet, I finally found an appropriate situation to use my favorite rapper phrase "g'd up swagger".

I'm doing a new art project which is essentially kids of different ethnicity's faces, and I found this rad African kid. How does this picture not make you want to marry some hot NBA player (Chris Paul) or rapper just so you can get a son like this? It totally makes me want to. Definitely one of the cutest kids ever. It will be a joy to draw this one.
