:(

Rejection is never any fun. I'm gonna drown myself in cigarettes and music. Ugh, I feel terrible. Which is such shit because I put on for this. It doesn't help that flights to Toronto won't go on sale, and my mother fucking Rock the Bells tickets haven't come in. FUCK IS THIS SHIT. Give me my mother fucking purchase.
I am so disappointed.. and I've been having so much fun lately. It's so easy to ignore responsibilities when you're in the midst of good company, good music, and great weather. I'd insert a long speech about buckling down and handling my shit, but fuck that. I don't even want to. I just want to give up and have fun.. I know that shit won't take me any further but being a coward just feels fucking easy right now.
Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck. Alex come home, I need some man parts in my life. Haha, ew. But really, though. Let's hit the sheets, stud.

HEYHEYHEY.

"THE BEST PART ABOUT CAMPING IS THE FIRE, AND THE S'MORES, AND THE SINGING, AND THE MUSIC, AND THE FRIENDS, AND THAT EVERYBODY BUYS SO MUCH ALCOHOL SO YOU HAVE TOO MUCH, NO ONE'S CHEAP BECAUSE THEY JUST HAVE TOO MUCH ALCOHOL. SO IT'S LIKE, 'CAN YOU PLEASE DRINK THIS FOR ME, I'M SOO DRUNK'."

So I went camping this weekend in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. The whole thing about it is that you can go tubing on a hour and a half trail, and you're allowed to bring your alcohol with you. It was literally nice for one day and then it rained for the rest of it. Well, no one was really down for tubing the rain, so we didn't. That was completely fine though. We had a smashing good time hanging out by the fire. Not to mention the cheap booze. Four lokos for $2?! Bottles of vodka for $6?! Yo. Getting drunk at 11am seemed too easy.
It's nice to be away. Back to reality. Applied for another student loan today, let's get approved son! As soon as you come back home, you're swamped with the reality of school and work.
Camping cost about $30 for two nights, including food.. but when you're in the states, it is so easy to blow money on booze and shopping. I blew about $500 all together.. I do however, have a case of four loko in my fridge, and enough underwear to last me a year! I had to go in and buy a shit load because Esco eats mine all the time :S

I'm pretty broke now! I still haven't gotten my Rock the Bells tickets in the mail and I am very annoyed about that. WHAT IS GOING ON!
I'll have to sift through my e-mails eventually. Ugh, 143 new emails is something I am not looking forward to. *ignore.

MARK RUFFALO!

I just finished watching "In the Cut". Not only is my boyfriend Mark Ruffalo in it, but he plays a sex-crazed, potty-mouth coppah. YOOOO! Mark Ruffalo is that dude. AHHHH! Why is he so insanely attractive?! Is he married? Do I have a shot?! Whatever, he is amazing in the movie, and it's basically going to make sleeping impossible right now. All I can think about is Mark Ruffalo getting it in. hahaha. Meg Ryan you are one lucky gal. Also, his junk makes a cameo. Just fabulous.

YOU GIVE ME THE ELECTRIC TWIST.

A FINE FRENZY

MEET ALISON SUDOL, also known as "A Fine Frenzy". This beautiful lady made one of my favorite songs in existence. I guess my whole theme right now are musicians who were born to artistic parents because Alison's are drama teachers.
"A Fine Frenzy" was also taken from A Midsummer Nights Dream. Well, when I was 10, I was in the play. SOOOO, the Shakespeare appreciation is a mutual feeling. Who doesn't love a book worm?!
I know I reference her a lot on my blog, she's just that amazing. She puts emotion into her songs, and you feel it like chills down your spine. This song is one of my favorites in the world, and I listen to it so much I should be getting paid for it lol. A break up was always followed by "Almost Lover" on loop.. but I love every second of it without a break up. It's just that good! She's also drop dead gorgeous. I could compliment and admire A Fine Frenzy all day, but I'll shut up and let her voice win you over.



I'd never want to see you un-happy, I thought you'd want the same, for me..

I'll throw one more down because the world deserves it.



Isn't she just PERFECT?!

CUZ I, LOVE YOU MORE THAN I COULD EVER PROMISE.

INGRID MICHAELSON

OH HOW I LOVE HER. Her voice is so perfect. Something about it just pulls you in and throws you into a wonderful spiral. This indie girl puts indie on a beautiful platform, and it's lovely to listen to. Being her father was a composer, her mother was a sculptor, it's easy to see how such an artistic family could create such an artist. However, I'm sure the degree in theater, years of piano lessons and vocal coaching played a part too. THIS WOMAN IS UNSTOPPABLE. The following video is my favorite from her, I dream up an extravagant wedding every time I hear it. It's a fan-made video so it's not exactly up to par with her ACTUAL video, but I couldn't post that one because stupid youtube won't let me embed it. ANYWAY, enjoy.



PLUS.. she not only creates good music, but she also listens to great music. Check out this cover she did of Radiohead's "Creep".



I KNOW. Crazy amazing right!?

STILLLLL HERE.

I KNOW! I haven't blogged in a lifetime. 2 weeks and no posts? GOODBYE HALF MY READERS. That's centuries in blog time. I've been doing so much. Trying to better my life and have fun at the same time. It's working, I think. Winnipeg has been so lovely lately.. I might've had the occasional girl want to come and fight me over a poutine, and had a couple crows attack me, but yo. Life is good. I'll get back to the music series in a minute. Hope I haven't been forgotten, wahhh.

GIRL PUT IN WORK.

MIXTAPE MONDAY

THE WEEKND - HOUSE OF BALLOONS

GOODNESS GRACIOUS. I love The Weeknd. I seriously love this guy so fucking much, that I might just die.
I don't even want to review this. I simply, can't. I can't say enough good things about it. Anything I type just isn't enough. Tesfaye has a voice that literally melts you once you hear it. I haven't heard good R&B for a hot minute.. and this shit, is quite the diverse R&B mix. With an indie, electro, smooth type sound.. you can't help but wonder if you're listening to a mixtape, or if you're in absolute utopia. Even with all the infested lyrics about drugs and alcohol. Don Mckinney is that dude on the production tip, and he did his job.
If you don't get that raw emotion from the instrumentals and synthesizers and pleasing bass.. you'll certainly get it from the lyrics.. and that's something new for the R&B world. This whole tape is on another level. One that no one has achieved ever. He completely set the bar for himself. He completely brought something new to the table.. and he completely brought something so different to my ears that I appreciate music SO MUCH MORE. It's almost as if I want to grab Tesfaye and say, "Yo, how could you like, do that to other music? How could you make everyone not want to listen to anything else ever again?".. because honestly, that's really what he did.
This mixtape is the best mixtape I've listened to in yeeeeaaaars. I wouldn't change a damn thing.. If hoping for anything, I just hope he can keep passing the level he set so mother fucking high!

5/5. 10/10. 100/100.

GET IT.
HERE

I'M OBSESSED WITH THE WEEKND.



Alex let me in on the know, another fan-made video has been shot for the weekend. I LOVE "THE MORNING"! It's one of my favorite Weeknd songs, evah. This is the song they played at big dancing when I nearly died.. ANYWAY, fan vid or not.. it's worth the looksie! Enjoy.

WORD VOMIT.

- I did okay, I think.
- BOSTON BRUINS ALL DAY.
- I don't wanna cheer for Vancouver, I just don't.
- Minus Luongo (You could get it)
- I just wanna write books all day and drank all night.
- FIJI water is my hangover saviour.
- Too much partying, not enough studying.
- Life is way too much fun right now.
- Esco is a better puppy over all other puppies.
- My lawn is finally mowed, Richard you don't have to mow it anymore:)
- I played pool for the first time ever today. I lost.. but I got five balls in?

DREAMIN.

I had a dream last night that Tyler, the Creator, was mad into me. We like met.. and made out.. and then all of a sudden, I was his girlfriend. Then he had to rush his ass to a show. & all these girls followed.. and I was stupid jealous. I figured I wasn't his girlfriend anymore. Then, he handed me a VIP pass, hooray! I was his girlfriend again! Then we made out.. and his kiss was mad salty. & I said to him, "Why are all black guy kisses salty?", and he laughed hard. I don't know why I thought that in my dream though.. I've never made out with a salty tasting guy :S LOL. ANYWAY, the point of telling everybody this is, it's hella making me crush on Tyler. YOOO BABBBYYY COME GOLF WANNG ME.

Back to studying.
