So, this is my life..

Found on flickr, looking for something else…  Some very interesting others here.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

I was actually looking for something, this lyric from Mumford and Sons.. Something that’s been running through my head for a couple of days.

“Love it will not betray you.

Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free.

Be more like the man you were made to be.”

Allow me to share with you some videos…

Reggie & The Full Effect – Take Me Home Please


Not the exact Reggie song I wanted, but it’s a pretty funny video.. and the song is just silly and fun.

Modest Mouse – The World At Large


Again, not the song I wanted from MM, but it’s an amazing song in it’s own right. I love to listen to this track in the car and pound out the bass drum line with my foot.

Jesse Lacey – Trailer Trash


This is actually the Modest Mouse song I wanted. This is almost equally as good, considering it’s a cover by Jesse Lacey of Brand New.. and I may or may not have be totally gay for Brand New. No Homo. Don’t judge me.

The Get Up Kids – Holiday

Love this song. Again, not the one I might have initially picked, but by far the best quality video I’ve come across on YouTube.

The Get Up Kids – Close To Home

Actually, this is the song I was looking for. This quality is pretty good.

Music I’m Currently Obsessed With

The National – High Violet

I seriously have a love hate relationship with this album. I can’t tell if I love it or if it’s really boring.  I’m still not sure, but this song rocks my world.

Silversun Pickups – Carnavas

I always liked Lazy Eye, but I never knew much of their other stuff.. This album is pretty damn good, and I listened to it a lot at work.

Death Cab for Cutie – Narrow Stairs

Amazing album, start to finish. This isn’t the best version, but they have the official version of this song disabled for embed. Losers.

Whatever’s wrong with me is here to stay…

I found a DVD with a bunch of mp3′s that I had backed up.. In there, I found a bunch of old Louisville indie/punk/hardcore/whatever.. So I’m rocking out. Lots of Metroschifter and Falling Forward. You can see what’s going down by looking at my Last.fm widget.

Sold a couple more things on craigslist today, including one of my car stereos that’s been in a box for over year and our grill. The grill I just wanted gone, getting paid for it was just a bonus. I didn’t want to take it back to kentucky, and I didn’t want to just throw it away. Sold it for $50, which I figured was fair enough. I didn’t even flinch when the guy paid with a check. I figured I could play russian roulette for $50.. As luck would have it, the check was good, and Bank of America (where it was written from) didn’t even try to charge me some astronomical fee to cash it, as I am no longer a customer of that institution of lending.

On to slightly more depressing news, I bought some boxes today. I spent $87 on freaking cardboard boxes. I didn’t even buy a bunch. One bundle each of small and medium boxes. Good thing I’m trying to throw away everything I don’t think I’ll ever miss! Trying to break my packrat ways.

Closing on a brighter note, spent about 2 hours on the phone yesterday speaking to people (whom shall remain nameless for now) that I’ve had previous business relationships with, and we’re hoping to do some business together soon. Be good to hit the ground running when I arrive back in Louisville.

I’ve been cleaning up my data, cleaning up my possessions, now I just need to clean up my financial affairs, and I think the rest of 2010 will be ok.
