I have yet to plug any of my Good Questions work on Xanga as of yet, but I felt that the Season 1 finale was worth a shout-out, so here it is.

If you copy and paste that URL, I promise it will work.

I thought you might want to see what I write while I'm in College

Another argument often cited by proponents of Internet file-sharing is that many albums that would not be in the public’s eye can become much more successful through word-of-mouth. One case study is the band Radiohead’s 2000 release, “Kid A”. The album had no leading singles and little radio play, yet some of the tracks were leaked on to the Internet before the album’s release. Because of favorable impressions from these early songs, “Kid A” debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 album charts. (Menta)

Who cares about music piracy? Not I! Who's writing an 8 page paper on music piracy? I am!

Good thing I have Kanye/Kid Cudi/The Killers/A Day To Remember to get me through it in one piece.

Well, it looks like I'm doing everything except finish my 8-page paper, of which I have one page written. Good thing its not due until Thursday! Good night.

P.S. I heard a new song today. I can't find it on Amazon so its not in my Currently Listening underneath here. When I first heard it, I thought, "Oh, someone covered "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty, that's cool. Then Chamillionaire started rapping about showing his hatas love. Songs like that are why I love rap music, just taking a classic and giving it a completely new theme. Jason DeRulo already stole "Hide & Seek" and "Bittersweet Symphony" so there wasn't much left for Chamillionaire I guess, so I'm sure Tom Petty said something like, "Yeah, Chamillionaire, you rock those chords." I love it. ("Good Morning" by Chamillionaire, for my curious readers)

Also, here's a funny video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQp5l4-sfFA
Just watch it. I laughed. Hard.

When you getting big cash stacks, all the hatas hate that, cuz they hate to see you be successful.

Oh my goodness everyone. I just spent an hour and a half doing practice physics problems. Ick.

On the bright side, Lugo introduced me to a great song called "Wired to the T" by Dorrough. Best lines?
"You know a nukka gone when he walk up to a ho like,
'Excuse me, miss I ain't tryna be funny
Let me beat that pussy like it owe me money."

Oh yeah, I'm keeping it classy up in here.

This Organic Chemistry test is the first one I've taken with preparation (in the form of reading and practice problems) so hopefully I can actually pass this test, kna'mean?

In other news, I've started saying "roflcopter" a lot on Battlefield Heroes, and I really hope it doesn't leak into my everyday usage. That would attract the wrong kind of women for sure, you know?

Also, I just relistened to Kid Cudi's free mixtape "A Kid Named Cudi" that Luke featured on his Xanga a while back, and which I downloaded without really listening to...Oh my goodness it is wonderful. I highly recommend "Man On The Moon (The Anthem)", "The Prayer", & "50 Ways To Make A Record" because those are some quality hip-hop songs, which are turning into a rare commodity these days.

Physics Homework

I keep on saying this, but this is the earliest I've ever been done with this much.

GUYS I ONLY HAVE 3 POINTS LEFT

I'm pretty excited about the prospect of doing Organic Chemistry practice problems until my eyes fall out tonight ha ha.

Well I finally relearned the intro to "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton (I knew it once, a long time ago) so now I just have to get it up to speed and learn the left hand, and I'll be a hit at parties.

That's how it works, right?

Its Official

I need to spend a lot less time playing Battlefield Heroes and more time studying Organic Chemistry.

Let's make it happen.

Success!

I don't know if you've heard, but somehow Luke got his chem poster (an apparently large project) moved from being due on Wednesday to Friday. I was hoping I could get in on some of that postponement action, and it came today when my Physics professor decided we hadn't learned enough about relativity yet to do the homework problems that were assigned for this week and due Thursday morning, so now they're due next week! That means I don't have to stay up until 2 in the morning doing Physics after my Organic Chemistry class gets over at 9! Woo!

In other college news I talked to my adviser today, and her opinion was that if I hadn't taken AP Chem & Calc in high school there would be no way for me to study abroad and minor in Spanish without doing it over the summer...so now I either have to study abroad during the summer, or study abroad next spring and completely screw up my schedule and make my 2010 fall suck balls (you like that rhyme?)

OR

just get a Management minor.

Neither of those options is too bad, but I can't decide if I would like Accounting/Finance classes or Spanish classes in a Spanish country...hmm

Favorite T-Pain line this week: "I'm jus' lookin' for somebody to talk to, and show me some love."

Guess What Guys?!?

I totally just bought Windows 7 for $7. I hope it lives up to the hype, because honestly $7 is a lot for an OS that I technically don't need.

But if it is as good as everyone that has reviewed it has said, then holy crap it will be so worth it.

Also, I got 5/5 on my 2nd gateway exam, a five-fold increase in points from my first gateway. Easy second-chance gateways FTW!

Today has been going great, I went to bed really early so I got a ton of sleep, I have almost 2 hours to do my crossword and then if I need to I can take a nap on my 3 1/2 hour break between classes this afternoon to prepare my body for the absolute shit day that is tomorrow.

Then, on Thursday, its Forever The Sickest Kids with Luke! And hopefully we'll get there in time to see My Favorite Highway! (They play "They Tried to Kill Chivalry, But We Brought It Back" so basically I want to see them play it)
