Sitting at my boring-ass desk at my boring-ass job listening to shit like this.
In a cute little cardigan.
Who the fuck am I?

what are you holding out for?
I like television. A lot. I don't schedule my life around it (my life isn't exactly located in the fast lane) but I do consider the invention of the DVR and the ability to pause live television nothing short of godlike. I very much appreciate and enjoy when the thoughts and ideas in one's head make it out; in whatever way, shape or form that person chooses to let them out. Books, films, television, paintings, drawings, music, childhood macaroni art, random scribbles ... they're different outlets for creativity, sure. But they all reveal things about their creator and I admire people who are bold enough to share those things; whether it's with one person or a few select people or the rest of the world.
One of the best things about watching the idiot box is the music I discover. There is almost always a behind-the-scenes genius who I imagine spends his / her time listening to music and is somehow able to just *know* when a particular song works with a particular scene. When watching certain shows, it's become habit for me to fire up Shazam so I can easily turn a few-seconds-long snippet into a full-length awesome new song.
This is one of them. The finale of the first season of How I Met Your Mother involves one relationship ending and one beginning. This song plays in the final scene after one character had the best night of his life and comes home to find his best friend had the worst. It's perfect because the lyrics make me kinda sad but the overall feel of it makes me wanna...act with reckless abandon.

aural awesomeness
Random videos on random days when I'm in a random musical kind of mood.
The only song that makes me want to live, love, long for, lust after, and leave someone; all over the course of four minutes and five-five seconds.
