Assignments up to my ears!! And music into my ears..

*stumbles in*

FINALLY!!!! Time to blog! Sheesh, haven't been here in ages..
But this is only because of the fact that I have been swimming in an un-ending ocean of assignments and have now only reduced that ocean to a puddle. This makes me VERY happy!

I'm needing some TLC today though. The weekend that I was going to spend with my boyfriend has been cancelled and I will not be seeing him for 4 weeks so bare with me if this post gets slightly soppy.

So, today it was Skillet that was guiding me through all of my work and I listened to a song that I haven't heard in a while which is called Those Nights. Skillet is so awesome because and I don't know why. I think it's that "it factor" that all the painful talent shows talk about. And the lead singer's voice. And the instrumentals. And the words of the songs. A combo of all of these things is really unlikely in most bands etc. and I don't know why. Skillet, however, pulls everything off with such awesomeness, you can't help but LURV them!! Anyway, give this song a listen and then look for some of their other stuff of the Tube that is You 'cause they can make some really great tunes. Even if you think they are emo-gross-cry-baby-prepubescent losers, just try it. PLEEEEASE. If you don't have at least one of their songs stuck in your head afterwards then you may send me hate mail.

I give you...le awesome song!

Not a very epic video, but Skillet doesn't look like they're very active on their VEVO channel.

Oh and for those of you with StumbleUpon, well done!! And for those of you that don't....DO IT!!! DO IT NOW!!! It's a fat time consumer and will assist you in any issues of procrastination that you might be lacking in so beware. But it's such a beauty. You find the most amazing things.

Like this: Men Who Make Houses Explode.

They take wood panels from the house itself and rip them out, saw them up or glue them together and then they nail them back onto the house in these forms. So COOL!!


I think that this one of my favourite, but the next one is the most intense one, I think.

And this vortex looking thing goes straight through to the other side. Sadly 2 of the structures have been knocked down as they were earmarked for development, even before the artists got hold of them.


And there is so much more that you find. StumbleUpon takes you all over the web and back. Just type in your interests, click "Stumble" and away you go.

Weather has been so crappy today, I decided to stay in and do work at the expense of my lectures, but I don't care at this point in time 'casue I pretty much despise the lecturer and I don't like the other subject, partly due to the lecturer as well. Let us not go into that because there is really no need for me to injure my keyboard right now.

OH!! BREAKING NEWS!! BEER IS BETTER FOR YOUR LIVER THAN WHAT COFFEE IS!!
We knew a family and the husband was an alcoholic and I never saw him sober once in my entire life. He had a heart attack in April and passed away sadly, but we only learnt of it yesterday. They had to do an autopsy to verify the cause of death because of the fact that he was an alcoholic. His liver was in perfect condition, albeit a little aged, because he drank beer and beer alone. The family was uber-shocked and the doctors then told them about the fact that beer doesn't damage your liver. I'm assuming it's because there is a LOT of water involved in the process of making beer and because it's made from natural ingredients such as barley and hops. Who knows..

Think I might actually write an article on that for the student newspaper.

Peace kids!! Must work now :)

..and then the workload came crashing down onto my head and cracked my skull.ow.

The amount of work I have for this term is actually inhumane. And this weekend is the Hall Ball and the other half is coming so do you think I'll get any work done? No. Which is why I'm still up at 1am on a Tuesday night busy whacking my way through a 3000 word essay that has to be done by Friday.
And then I have to write an article on anything to do with Science and Technology.
Yes.
You heard right.
How am I going to do this???
Well, if it wasn't for beautiful people in my life like my friend Koketso, I would be dead.
Felling down and lonely? Want a hug? Well I have just the thing for you.
The Sense-Roid.
Just look at it. And then look at the link on that article that takes you to the kissing device they've invented. Freaking insane!!
Apparently it's for people who are dating long distance which I still think is messed up, only slightly, because you aren't kissing your lover on the other side of the world, you're twirling your tongue around a stick.
And when they perfect it, you'll be twirling your tongue around a wet, moving, warm stick. And it will still be nothing like the real thing.
Sense-Roid is a cool concept but I'm kinda picturing the old weird man who has nobody but Francesca who hides in the cupboard and comes out to play when said old man can muster up enough air in his lungs to get her type 5 plastic body nice and firm and...squishy. I picture them buying the Sense-Roid. Nerds who game, 24/7 and have forgotten what fresh air feels like. There are other people that I can picture buying this interesting product but I would rather keep those images surpressed, for your sake and mine so I am just going to introduce you to Buckcherry, who are awesomely combining slightly old school rock with new stuff. They themselves are pretty geriatric but they still rock out quite well :)
This is Dreams, one of their more emo ones, but if you're in the mood for something more hardcore, youtube them and oh, Crazy Bitch - a MUST LISTEN!! Do it, do it now. They are keeping me going tonight!

Peace kids :)

a beautiful song, deadlines and cheers to a long weekend

So my friend Tiff whom I have spoken about before (the crazy Zimbo with the red hair?) is the biggest fan of me and Jarrod. She thinks that we are the cutest couple and are meant for each other blah blah (which we are, but she REALLY believes it too). So she told me to download and listen to this song: Here by Rascal Flats. Watch and learn. And listen, because the lyrics alone don't do it enough justice. It's one of those whiny country songs but the way it's sung is just so fitting to the words. Such an awesome song and so true for both me and the man.

There's a place I've been looking forThat took me in and out of buildingsBehind windows, walls and doorsAnd I thought I found itCouple times, even settled downAnd I'd hang around just long enoughTo find my way back outI know now the place that I was trying toReachWas you, right here in front of me 

[CHORUS]And I wouldn't change a thingI'd walk right back through the rainBack to every broken heartOn the day that it was breakin'And I'd relive all the yearsAnd be thankful for the tearsI've cried with every stumbled stepThat led to you and got me here, right here 

It's amazing what I let my heart go throughTo get me where it got meIn this moment here with youAnd it passed me byGod knows how many timesI was so caught up in holdingWhat I never thought I'd findI know now, there's a million roadsI had to takeTo get me in your arms that way 

[Repeat Chorus]
In a love I never thought I'd get to get to-hereAnd if that's the roadGod made me take to be with you 

[Repeat Chorus]
And I'd relive all the yearsAnd be thankful for all the tearsI've cried with every stumbled stepThat led to you and got me here, right hereOh, baby-OooOh, got me here 

Terribly sorry if that isn't your kind of song but I think it's pretty rad.


So, for the first time tonight I finished an article for the newspaper with 20 minutes to go until the deadline. I was given an article to write which was a pretty simple one but was kinda stupid. It was about the most datable (as in the person you'd want to go on a date with) SRC candidate. It's campaign week for them so they wanted something different on the SRC candidates and not the boring old stuff about them. I thought it was pretty lame and was told about it on Tuesday night. When I asked people who they thought was the most datable candidate, they thought it was pretty lame too. Anyway, I saw my sub-editor at 4 o'clock just before my hour long journalism tutorial (which would mean I'd come out at 5) and she said that I have until 5 to slap something together. Hello? Ja, I'll just do it now in my tut because I have nothing better to do with my time at this moment of my life. This is after I had told her that it was lame and I wasn't gonna do it because of the danger of dragging my name through the S*&% by writing something so silly. Anyway, I got an e-mail later asking how far I was. This was at 19:35. I typed up an article (a good one, considering the topic) and bombed it off to her at 19:59. Yes. You may applaud me now. Felt quite proud :) Another byline for my portfolio and in the space of 20 minutes! Think I may just have proved my little theory that I do work best under pressure.


AND, tomorrow, I don't have a psychology tutorial (which is usually my only thing on a Friday) so my weekend started today (YAY) with my friend and I sitting in my room Facebook stalking someone with exclaims from her about how hot he is. And then she Fraped me. If you don't know what that is, Google it. AAAH!! Sorry, I've just told you what I hate hearing and want to beat up whoever says that to me when I ask them something.


Off to enjoy my weekend!! Going to be slightly insane! Wish it could be with my loved one though. Sad. Miss him.


Peace :)
