Being Alone In a Crowded Room

February 21, 2008

Ever felt by yourself, even while surrounded by a group of 30+ people? How about the whole world going 60 MPH, while you’re stuck at 5? Yep, that’s me.

And that’s our emo segment of today’s blog.

I’m dead tired. Was up until 4am last night writing for school for the yearbook. Obviously, I wasn’t working too hard and decided to go discover some music.

First, I found some band called The Maine, not really all that amazing, but they did do a cover of Akon’s I Wanna Love You, some of the lyrics were out of place. But it’s MUCH better than the original, even if it is a giant practical joke on me.

After them, I found another band called Every Avenue. At first, they weren’t too great, but after listening to them throughout the day — they’re pretty damn good. Definitely worth a listen, if you’re into the same kind of music as me. You know, the awesome kind.

The anticipation of tonight’s Lost, which I’ll watch online tomorrow because I’m HD-spoiled and we don’t get ABC-HD. Speaking of which, do you know how hard it is to avoid Lost spoilers for 24 hours!? Really, really, really, really, really hard. That’s a lot of really’s.

Whoa, I veered off course there. The point I was trying to make was how dumb it was getting and how amazingly quick the writers can pull me back in. Just a note for non-Lost junkies you may wanna skip a few paragraphs and see if I’ve finished blabbing.

That asian ghostbuster annoys me. Why does he need a damn heavy-duty Black and Decker vaccume to talk to the dead? And how do they parachute out of a helicopter, especially at such a low altitude? And countless other fuck ups that could’ve been solved with common sense (Charlie’s death) that I don’t have the time or stomach for right now.

And the part that annoys me the most is when they air episodes like “The Economist“, it pulls me right back in. I’m not gonna go into too many details for fear of spoilers, but it was a damn intelligent twist, one that I figured out almost immediately, I was just wrong about the most important part of the twist — the manipulator. Looking back, it’s a little obvious.

And through this episode we’re given one more member of the Oceanix Six. You know who it is if you watched it, and I have two solid guesses at who the two that make it off are, I’m thinking Sawyer and Locke, or Sun and Jin. Not based on anything but my less than cognitive reasoning.

It’s been a long day and I think I’m gonna kill it here, there’s a couch that looks like it’ll perfectly contour to my body and I think I’ve earned myself a nap.

Yes, really. No game stuff today, even though yesterday Microsoft dropped a few bombs. I’d yap on, but I’d rather sleep.
