The Academy Is… – Skeptics and True Believers (February 27th)

Wake up in the morning and make a blog post. Today’s going to be a good day! Well except that I start work at 12:30 and will probably be working until all hours of the night. But, on the bright side I’ve got a cute date tomorrow.

The girl that I am investing most of my time into and I are going to a theme park tomorrow. Like the way I classified her? We aren’t boyfriend and girlfriend. And while I don’t know if we are “exclusively” dating each other, I would assume we are. However, if something were to come up I might be inclined to stray since we haven’t made anything official yet.

Let me tell you one of the coolest things about this girl though.

We like the same music!

This is actually a pretty big deal. All of the girls I’ve ever dated have not listened to the same music as me. One of them eventually warmed up to my music and we went to a bunch of concerts. That was cool. But to have someone just enjoy the same music that you do right off the bat? That’s hard to come by these days. Especially since I listen to a lot of music that no one has ever heard of.

The good thing is she doesn’t necessarily have to know of the bands that I do, I just know that if I play some music shes never heard of she will enjoy it. That’s the coolest thing.

Today’s song is “Skeptics and True Believers” by The Academy Is…

This is another one of those older songs that just sits with me well. This was the song that turned me on to The Academy Is… and rightfully so, as it’s a grade A jam.

my favorite lyrics from this song are probably just the chorus-

“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t need you,
’cause I wouldn’t believe you if you said the same to me.
And near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn’t need you?”

Keep jamming and have a great day!

Cari Clara – Safe (February 11th)

I hung out with an old friend today. We shared a lot of stories, and even more laughs. It’s really kind of sad that we don’t see each other more often. But we’ve both become busier as time goes on.

In fact as I look back on my history I see that I always make really great friends, but manage to distance myself from them slowly. It’s something I don’t really know how to fix, it just always seems to happen. It’s not even like we get into some kind of fight or anything. We just grow apart.

And so it goes…

Another thing, I was talking to my friend about girls. I’ve recently been hanging out with one in particular. And she is flirty as hell. We go out and I usually end up staying the night at her place (nothing has happened). I just don’t really know what she wants out of this. We flirt, and we act like a couple would act, but as far as she claims, we are just friends.

I’ve sort of lost hope with her though recently and have moved on to someone new. We’ll see how it goes in the long run.

Today’s song is “Safe” by Cari Clara.

This is one of the most unknown bands I’ve ever posted. This video literally has 6 views. But I really enjoy the song.

I’ve listened to some of their other music, and I’ll be honest, I’m just not that into it. What I do like however, is that all of their songs have very soft verses and very strong choruses. It’s a very nice build up of music if I do say so.

Check out this song, I would say it sums up how I feel about losing friends, and mysterious girls.

Until next time, which will be tomorrow!

Youngblood Hawke – Pressure (February 8th)

In what would seem like an extremely strange coincidence, last night I went out and hung out with a girl I am interested in. Directly after writing a post about how all of my “interests” have dissipated away from me.

It was really random to be completely honest. I happened to see that she was on Facebook posting about having nothing to do. I commented replying about how I also was doing nothing all day. Next thing I know I have an invite over to her place for some pizza and Nintendo 64. How could a guy like me decline something as sweet as that deal?

So I go to her place and hang out with her, her roommate, and her roommate’s boyfriend. It’s cool because I know her roommate in real life. But can I just say, sometimes it is super awkward trying to hang out with a girl you’re interested in when both of her roommates are trying to set the two of you up.

It’s not that I have a problem hanging out with a group of people, in fact I would say that it makes things a whole lot easier. Especially if there is at least one friend in common, then you can use them as a middle man to make small talk. That is the good side of it. There is a downside to group events though. The biggest being the sheer amount of pressure put on you to make a good impression/sweep this girl off of her feet on the first meet.

In light of the pressure I faced last night, I am making today’s song “Pressure” by Youngblood Hawke.

I have recently discovered Youngblood Hawke and am very happy about my discovery. They have very catchy choruses in almost all of their songs. I just get a really upbeat vibe when listening to their music. I hope it does the same for you.

Favorite lyrics from the song come from just one line,

“It’s never enough and you’re breaking it down”

That’s kind of how I felt last night. Like no matter how cool and casual I act, It’s never enough. However, I think the night went well and I don’t see why we wouldn’t hang out sometime soon. She is definitely my type, and she plays video games, which is something I’ve never had in a girlfriend before.

Stay tuned for a new song tomorrow as I continue to stay motivated and keep my head up!
