Year 4, Day 303

Hi. Today isn't on song, but rather a 42 Song Pop Punk Mashup.

The ultimate song for my emo heart to implode on. I've listening to this compilation so much that sometimes I hear this now instead of the regular songs. If you keep the annotation on on the video each lists each song as it comes up, but I'm m all here in order just so you have them. So while I've made you wait for songs for a few days I'm making up with it now (kind of) with 42 of them minus the doubles all at once. Hope it's good enough!

Year 4, Day 302

Hey guys. Today's song is Emperor's New Clothes by Panic! at the Disco.

Today was my family's Christmas celebration. A week early so it didn't feel very festive, but there's eleven of us so scheduling is hard. We made it though, and it was surprisingly not as bad as I thought it was going to be. We had Christmas at my mom's new place (she moves practically every six months) so she went all out with the decorating. You would think it would be cozy to see all the decoration accumulated and on display throughout your life, but really it just made me uncomfortable. Like a living embodiment of Christmas past that reminds you of how innocent you'll never be again. I'm cynical this is how I view things. My uncle was of course commenting on things that he had no business commenting on, but less so than previous years. And he wouldn't parent his own child which meant I became parent #1 for five hours, then my sister got the job for the next five hours when she arrived. It only further cemented that I never want kids. Mu other uncle got there after work and made of point of sitting with me (as he seems to be his tradition at every family gathering nowadays) because he knows that I will not volunteer confessions about my life unless someone is in close proximity. Everyone liked their gifts now that we went back to the typical secret santa set up, and my mom seemed happy rather than her constant state of trying not to cry. My grandma made her signature stuffing which is not actually signature except for the fact that the family wont eat stuffing unless she's the one who makes it, and my uncle (the latter one) made her cheesecake this year which is always a favorite. All in all not too bad. My grandparents left early because my grandpa caught the flu a couple days ago so I had to get a ride home with Will and Sammy who were going out of town immediately after so now I'm sitting in their house surrounded by cats, lizards and fish. Will forgot that I needed to actually go home before pet sitting, but they were late and he was scatterbrained so I'll just trek home tomorrow for my stuff. Personally I'm glad my Christmas is over with so I can relax for the rest of the week while the mass population still stresses. It's....euphoric to be over that hump.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 301

Hiya. Today I give you Whipped Cream by Ludo.

This is a new song and new band this year, although I think I put one of their other songs earlier in the year. Regardless this is the first song by them that I'd heard and I love it. I think it might be one of my favorite new songs this year that I've found, and I've found a lot (not that I've shown them yet.) This song is one that most people who know me would be confused with my fascination with it. They all associate me with bubblegum power pop forever, which I don't think this classifies as. Although Anna is technically the expert (she coined the phrase) so if she's still awake I'll ask her what genre this song goes under. While I wait for a response can I also just point out that the concept of band wearing matching suits excites me? Maybe it's my OCD, maybe it's the psychology of finding patterns, but the uniformity looks so well put together. Even with the thrusting in the video they still look dapper. Good job boys. Okay I waited an hour and Anna has a response. She says it's still of the pop variety but born more from the pop punk grouping. So I'm going to go ahead and classify this song as pop punk lite. Agree?

Peace.

Year 4, Day 300

Good Morning. Today's song is I Wonder by Diffuser.

Alright I guess it's about time to explain what's up. So...I have issues with my dad. Huge issues that I've mentioned in previous years, but for the last three we haven't been in contact. Except for when my loan comes due and he feels the need to remind me that his name is on it. But Christmas does weird things to people and not only has he emailed and called me, but emailed and called my sister, and even called my grandparents. It's unnerving to free yourself of such a harmful influence only to have them force themselves back in so easily. The gist of it is he wants back in our lives and doesn't understand why neither my sister or I ever want to associate with him again. Which is insane. Our problems are obvious and for him to not get that means he is either a legitimate psychopath like I've been saying for years or got some serious brain injury that made him forget how he is. Either way I'm holding my breath for the holidays now waiting for the fallout that will surely come when Christmas passes and we still have responded to his attempts to reconcile. Side note: this song is weirdly good for my current situation. If you take the romantic undertones out of it, it's kind of like a conversation with my dad. A conversation that will never happen in real life.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 299

Hey! Here's No One's Gonna Find Her In The Dark by Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco.

If you couldn't already tell this song is a mashup. To make up for my lack of posting I'm shoving as much music down your throat as I can. So the mashup is using Miss Jackson by Panic! At The Disco and My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark by Fall Out Boy. There was actually a different one I wanted to show you which was a Fall Out Boy song looped a couple times that sounded incredible, but I only found it on tumblr which means I have officially lost it again. But that's fine because as far as mashups go I like this one. You guys tell me though. Is it good or would something else be better.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 298

Hello. So today's song is Me Against the World by Simple Plan.

I've read three books in three days. I'm so tired you guys have no idea. I know you're all thinking I'm insane about now because despite being tired I refuse to sleep. Someone I didn't want reached out to me and I've been doing my best to cope with it, but stress fuels my dreams so if I don't sleep, the nightmares can't destroy my brain. I know my sister has already had one because of this so I'm going to go until I can at least dead sleep and not think about my issues. So on to more books for me!

Peace.

Year 4, Day 297

Hi. Today's song is Dear Maria, Count Me In by All Time Low.

I suck, I'm behind on these again. Sorry there's a lot that's been happening. I'll tell you all about it eventually once I find the words. So for now it just happens that my crap week coincides with all the songs that I've been saving until the end because they're my favorite. Starting with All Time Low. I've featured them before and probably will again. What can I say, the semi-emo phase I went through internally will never really die. Enjoy.

Peace.
