robots need love too

Here's a shocking fact for you (sarcasm): I've never been a sports person. In fact, I can go as much as saying: I used to hate sports. Yes. Hate. When I was a kid, this hatred stemmed from the idea of "losing." Not me losing, per se. (I wasn't much of a sports kid.) But the other people, the other team. I would watch basketball on television with my dad and cry for the losing team. I felt so bad for them. All the hard work! All the hours! All the dreams! All the hope! For nothing?! I came up with the best solution: coaches and team members on both teams should always have a secret agreement to always just tie. Agree to ensure the scores were even. Agree to ensure that they played at the same pace. Then, nobody would lose! Everybody's a winner!!!! Duhhh! went the lightbulb in my seven-year-old brain.

Today, I wouldn't say that I hate sports. Like art, they are filled with passion and talent and dedication and dreams and all those things are very beautiful. But, still. I'm a total child. Why can't everyone be a winner? Why are we so caught up in winning and losing, anyways?

The video and song below propelled this memory. It's magnificent (and by a Canadian musician! boo yeah, Canadian pride!). I couldn't believe it but, at the end of the song, I had tears in my eyes. Really. I'm a total dweeb.

I don't know why we always fight with hate. Love is so much more beautiful, so much more powerful. Live and love.

I hope you all have a beautiful day.

tell me all the things that I want to hear

'Cause it's true. It's what I like about youuuuu!
DISCLAIMER: This song has nada to do with this post, minus the word "hear," which relates to "music," which relates to "playlist," which relates to "playlist post," which means "nada" was, in fact, inaccurate. Phew!

Weird obsession with this. YES I'M (a little) EMBARRASSED. But it's beautiful, so I don't even care. Spread the love.

Where did this come from?! Sigh, I don't know. But it's also a beaut.

Since this is all beautiful but, you know, I don't want you to live under the impression that I'm obsessed with the angsty-teenaged-let's-all-be-fairytale lovers (but, hey, props to you T-swizzle-lovahz, too!), so here's some rad tunes that have been playing on my ipod mini. Remember those things?! Yeah. They'll be big again, pfft. And then I can say that cool quote I've always wanted to say, "I was uncool before uncool was cool. YEAH."

The notion of music very much parallels fashion. The genres and styles are so broad and each person is, often times, very in favor of one. Similarly to fashion, it's an art form that often gets pushed to the side. And, similarly, it can definitely depict or influence a mood at any given point. My music tastes, as with my style, are continuously evolving.

Now, ain't that cool, frieendzzzz?

Anyways, enough about me, what tunes are YOU listening to? (I know these questions usually fail to get answers, but I'm genuinely curious!) Describe your music. Slash GIVE ME A SONG TO DOWNLOAD. NOW.

Please, of course. :)
