My lack of concentration

I am to ADD as American cheese is to Cheddar cheese. Not quite the same, but still cheese.


On the music end of things? Let's take a look........


I keep dated playlists to see what I was just into on certain days. The most current one was Labor Day. One song - "I'll Be There For You", by the Rembrants. You know, the theme song from Friends. Love it.

But the album/artist I've really been into lately is Mika. Not only is he gorgeous, his songs are great too. The album he has out right now is Life In Cartoon Motion. So many good songs. My favorite - 'Any Other World'. Has such great lyrics and incorporates violins very well. I say great lyrics, especially because they sort of go away from his typical sort of song, which are very catchy, whereas 'Any Other World' is far more focused on material, theme, and overall sound instead of popularity, I think. Other good tracks:

• Lollipop. Discusses living your life up before you go get involved. You know, enjoy being single.
• Big Girls. Perfect in a time when there's a few people out there trying to get girls to feel better about their self-image. I'm sure you've all seen the Dove commercials with girls who did that workshop. Whatever, this is far greater for the mass audiences. Dove's about PR. Mika's about the real thing. Hoops.
• Love Today. Just awesome
• Billy Brown. This song is NOT about a gay man. It's about sexuality is far more than just between the bounds of set sexualities, like gay, straight, bi, whatever. It's shows how everything is so much more complex than that. That, and sometimes we just can't figure our shit out.
• Grace Kelly. A single. A song to get Mika out there. I love the dialogue, just cool. That's all, cool.

What else, you ask? I like Panic! at the Disco's new album. It's a lot less teenage angst and emo and whatever, and more just good music and lyrics. I am lovin' The Green Gentlemen and When The Day Met The Night. I'm a total sucker.

That's all for music now. Check out Mika for sure.

So I'm taking Music Theory right now, learning all about the Circle of Fifths and how to construct all these scales, it's pretty cool stuff.

Things with Cookie are shaky, as usual. I'm frustrated with life. Usual, usual. The lunch line isn't as cool without Lemons there anymore.
