Things in my head at this exact minute

I like visiting the hospital under certain circumstances. I like sitting in the room visiting someone. It's so clean and bright. Relaxing, even. It's kinda a magical place because it takes everything in your life and sheds the light of perspective on them. Nothing outside of those 4 walls really seems to matter all that much when you're in there. And you've got family and friends filtering in and out all the time.
It's just kinda nice...under the right circumstances. As in, nothing terribly serious.

Ironically, the new television show The Middle reminds me a lot of Malcom in the Middle. They both have the word "Middle" in the title, which is what makes it ironic.

Reviews of recent music:

Jet - Shaka Rock
Guitary and awesome. Better than Get Born because it's consistently rockilicious. The whole thing is great. It's like getting kicked in the teeth with a steel-toed boot. It makes me wanna go out and just, like, grow a really thick beard. ..or something.

Weezer - Raditude
It's better than the Red album. Maybe not as good as the Blue album. But their best stuff in years for sure...in my humble opinion. But if you disagree, it's okay if you wanna go ahead mock me. I don't mind!
It just makes me feel good. It's really melodic and catchy. It's like pouring smooth, velvety tomato soup in your ears. Makes you feel good inside. It kinda reminds me of Sugar Ray's latest album, Music for Cougars. Not that they sound alike, rather just because they're both fun and happy. I like happy music. There's enough Dashboard and Sufjan for the rest of the world to get depressed to. Give me the music that makes ya smile! Sometimes "shallow" music just hits the spot!

Switchfoot - Hello, Hurricane
I bet it's pretty good. I bought it and have kinda almost half-listened to it. I think it was probably good. It's Switchfoot! you know what you're getting. Good lyrics, a few catchy songs, and a few songs that'll take some getting used to before you decide they're genius.
It's kinda weird now, having heard what Jon can do on his own, to go back and hear him as part of Switchfoot again. It's so different. I listen to Foreman incessantly, day after day, so it's odd to hear him with the band again.

Relient K - Forget and Not Slow Down
So you remember how MmHmm was all super happy and optimistic? Exact opposite here.
Apparently that girl he was dating that inspired songs like "High of 75" and "My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend" ripped his freaking heart out because lyrically, this thing is a downer. Musically, I love the poo outta it!
And maybe i need to listen harder but I wasn't able to pull much from it spiritually, which is a disappointment.

In other reviews...
Miley- still making incredible, mind-blowing mind.
The new Kevin Hammond single is incredible. As is the latest Michael Buble.
Can't say I really care for Phil Wickham's single, Cielo. It's not BAD. It's just not...i don't know. It wasn't what I hoped it would be. It's not as insightful or musically exciting, in MY opinion. BUT, it is pretty catchy!
The new Robbie Seay single, Miracle? eh.
Maybe I'm a harsher critic of Christian music, or maybe I just expect more. I'm so fickle, cuz I'm sure if we sing this in church a couple times, I'll think it's the greatest song ever.
Speaking of, I wish we could freakin' download Bleaker's songs. I know you can listen to them on the website, but my gosh, that one song is my favorite song ever and i need to be able to listen to it when i can openly cry. ya know, like a baby.

I'm procrastinating. that's why I'm blogging. Avoiding homework. blah.
I've lost 3% body fat in the last month or so. Kinda proud of that. Been doing a lot of cardio at work and eating healthy. ish.

Mark Driscoll is going to be on loveline with Dr. Drew next year. I hope he's able to post that to the Mars Hill site, cuz that is sure to be killer radio. I can't even imagine! I love that man.

ok good. There ya go. Nothing insightful or real, just fluff stuff. please do enjoy.
