We need real music...because life is real!

It's time to move on from mainstream music. There is just SO much music in the world.....much more pure and real than what's out now.

Look up....it's NYC!

The Cool....as an elusive essence

A piece of Simpsons dialogue (from the episode Homerpalooza)....
Homer: So, I realized that being with my family is more
important than being cool.
Bart: Dad, what you just said was powerfully uncool.
Homer: You know what the song says: "It's hip to be square".
Lisa: That song is so lame.
Homer: So lame that it's... cool?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Am I cool, kids?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Good. I'm glad. And that's what makes me cool,
not caring, right?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Well, how the hell do you be cool? I feel like
we've tried everything here.
Homer: Wait, Marge. Maybe if you're truly cool, you
don't need to be told you're cool.
Bart: Well, sure you do.
Lisa: How else would you know?

Itutu

Itutu is a Yoruba word (in 15th Century Nigeria) for a religious feeling that translates into English as "cool." It has been suggested that Itutu is the origin of the American concept of "cool."

Check out what else wiki has on
Cool (Aesthetic).....it's really interesting.

And here's a quote i thought was SO true...

"The mainstream perception of 'cool' is narrow and distorted, perceived merely as style or arrogance rather than a way to achieve respect."

I don't know

So i've been feeling kinda confused/stuck lately. More and more i just wanna say "Peace out!" to Michigan and look beyond what i can see. Cuz right now I feel like i've exhausted my experiences here and now they're sorta on repeat. So it's like "Been there, done that....what's next?" haha

I think i just wanna "feel" something new, like with all my senses. That's really want i need!

P.S. Ladybugs are the cutest insect EVER....but those mugs do startle me when they start flying....like little transformers! hehe

Just a thought

I realize that waiting isn't SO bad.....it just makes whatever you're waiting for, that much better.....almost like it's preparing itself just for you. So don't mind the wait y'all, because when that wait is finally over, great things will happen!

And it's funny because sometimes i forget that i'm waiting (for things that i want and even for things that i don't know i want) but when that thing is right in front of me, i bet i'll realize that i should be thanking the "wait" because it would be worth it.

A fresh start!

Another day, another month.....its March!!! YAY

I'm not quite sure when the official first day of spring is
(cuz i didn't buy my usual spongebob calendar this year *tear*) but March sounds a lil bit like spring to me and i can't wait for milder temperatures and snow-free grounds!

Time to bring back the colors of nature....another fresh start! :)

P.S. And I forgot to acknowledge the leap day, yesterday....kinda cool...the whole every 4 years we add a day to February sorta deal haha.
