This is quite unfortunate really



So Death Cab For Cutie covered Bjork, right? Which I'm sure is awesome. That said, I never bothered listening to the cover, until deciding that maybe it would have a place on the dreamy mixtape. I mean, you mix Bjork's bizarreness/surrealism with Death Cab's gentleness/quasi-tranquility and you should get the perfect dreamscape, right? No. This song is just euurgh.

Don't get me wrong, I dig the Death Cab. I usually have no beef with them whatsoever. And "All is Full of Love" as presented by DCFC is, I'm sure, very lovely. I just can't get past the fact that it sounds...well, like Death Cab.

Seriously! It's really disconcerting! I know there's the whole thing about "making it your own", but in my mind there is a difference between "Death Cab do Bjork" and "Death Cab do Death Cab", or there should be.

This displeases me greatly. I was on a lyric site earlier, where someone was attempting to explain what they thought the song meant. Clearly worried about their explanation being convoluted, they said "The way DCFC say it is much better, that's why they're the songwriters."

I wept.

A challenger approaches...


So, as new co-writer/owner/provocateur of this so called "blog" (and also "significant-other" to the so-called "Anna") , I have decided that it is time I revealed myself. Though not in the strictest sense as i prefer to remain an anonymous angry-interwebs-man. Thought, some of you may say that, in saying I'm a man, I am risking my interweb-identity already. To this i reply: I LIVE ON THE EDGE AND RISK ALL!!! Because that's the kind of blogger I am.
Alrighty then, I've decided that i'm probably just going to bitch and moan on this blog like my lovely co-writer (as well as continuing the also lovely service of posting pictures that are filled with magic and whimsy). This is mostly because I have no other outlet and just would generally like a place to write things and post some of my pictures (yes, they are my own lovely little pieces of work for those who wondered) as a means of documenting whatever may be in my mind at the time.
I would also like to apologize to the amount of exposition needed to explain simply that I am writing this blog. Unlike "Anna", I do not do this often.
Today is kind of a medium day; not really going anywhere or giving anything truly exciting. But hey, that's what holidays are for aren't they? Am I the only one who seemingly dislikes the so-called "relaxation period" that is supposed to be associated with holidays? I always find that within the first week I have done all the things necessary to truly "relax" and am left with nothing but repetitious monotony for the rest of the time.
Now maybe this is because I could be more "outgoing" or "thrill-seeking" (and I admit that I am kind of like the "mega-babe" Christian Slater is "Pump up the Volume" in the sense that if you give me a medium where I can speak my mind without interfacing with anyone and then I'm good to go, but face me with a tete-a-tete situation and i freeze)(just let it be known that I also really hate "Pump up the Volume" as it had godly amounts of pure fail and a lack of nudity that makes all other "teen-movies" like it seem like fucking Romero's holy trilogy when faced with comparison)(for that matter "mega-babe" Christian Slater is neither "mega" or a "babe" as I may have lead you fine readers to believe. I just don't know what i was thinking).
But yes, as i was saying before god-damned Christian Slater was brought up, fuck being "outgoing". I mean I get by with my marginally small group of friends and my constant need to be checking the webternets. This just may mean that it is harder for me to find a decent part-time job and harder to find enough like-minded people who will come and see genuinely horrid movies to come and enjoy a mighty lol at. But oh well. All i'm saying is that I would prefer having something to do rather than sitting around and creating this fine piece of literature.
It is for this reason internets, that I am excited to go to uni in a few weeks and begin my foray into the wide world of philosophy, which I am majorly invested in (and which the lovely "Anna" despises). Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more verbal diarrhea from me.

PS: really do hate Christian Slater and yes, I overuse the word "lovely".
