I have been here many times before

July 26th, 2010

I’ve decided, since I kind of stink at coming up with titles for things, I’ll just use song lyrics. Unless it is an article or something that does have an actual title. This blog’s title comes from Breathe Me by Sia. I love this song so much, and the music video is simply fantastic.

I have also decided that I’m going to try to blog more. Previously I tried to wait and give people a chance to read and comment if they so chose, considering I don’t have many visitors each day. But, if I end up blogging twice in the same day now, so be it. I’m just letting you know so that you can check for more than one, if you are an avid reader.

Today marked the first day of a long week of working morning shifts. It went pretty well, which is probably because the boss was gone. Where he was, I don’t know, but I can’t honestly complain. It’s not that I don’t like him, or that he scares me (like my co-workers suggest he does one of the other stockers). It’s just that, it’s uncomfortable. I feel tons more pressure to not mess up even though he usually has something to complain about anyway. So things just tend to go smoother when he’s not there.

The only good thing is that now I have the rest of the day to do whatever I please, rather than having to take a few hours off to go and work second shift.

At work today when I was in the cooler, I was looking at Mountain Dew and Mello Yello. I always find it amusing how most people (to my understanding) prefer Coke over Pepsi, although one is hard pressed to come across someone who hates Mountain Dew, which is actually a Pepsi product. Coke’s alternative is Mello Yello which is my personal preference, although I am not against Mountain Dew. MY and MD are similar in actual contents as well, although MY has less sodium. They both have the same total calorie intake, yet they have varying 8 fl oz calorie intake (like, you know how the nutritional facts list “8 fl oz” and “for this package” or whatever). Can anyone explain how that works? D:

I just thought it was weird. And figured I’d bring it up. Whoo for random, pointless conversation.

I also kind of want to make a new layout. Yes, yes, I know. I’m an idiot. But I can’t help it.

And one last thing… I WANT ONE!

1. Which do YOU prefer: coke or pepsi?

Stranger than your sympathy

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I updated, but I guess I kind of have an excuse. Or a few excuses, rather.

First and foremost, I HAVE A NEW CAMERA. Yes, on the fifteenth, right before band, I picked my dad up from work (to save time) and we went to BestBuy. The camera I got is the wonderbar Canon EOS 50D. It is gorgeous. The attention to aperture it gives in comparison to my old camera is intoxicating. I can’t wait until I can eventually get around to saving up money and getting new lenses — I’ve already got them picked out. :D

EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM (telephoto zoom)
EF 28mm f/2.8 (wide-angle)
EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye (wide-angle / fisheye)
EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro

There’s obviously more that I love — and better quality ones of those listed — but lenses can run almost as expensive, if not more than, the price paid for the camera itself so I’m going to stick with the cheaper ones. xD The most expensive one there is the Fisheye and that’s the only lens of that kind listed on the website, so I can’t go with a cheaper option. :C

Besides that, my uncle is also in the process of moving. I’ve spent every morning helping him out. Then this coming week, I work the morning shift every day except Wednesday, which will be spent cleaning my uncle’s apartment, and then band, joy.

I actually updated more than this blog. ZOMG.

July 11th, 2010

I’m really shocked that I actually got around to putting up some graphics. It’s been … a really, really long time. I’m sure I could go through my blogs to find it, but I don’t care that much. If you really do, you are, of course, welcome to go ahead.

So, for the updates I have two new wallpapers and some new icons. The icons include some from The Lion King under Movies, and then an entirely new page for bands, where I have The Killers and The Goo Goo Dolls. Icons for that page are from The Killers – Read My Mind, The Killers – All These Things That I’ve Done, and The Goo Goo Dolls – Iris. They are all very wonderful songs.

Nothing has really been going on since the last blog. I’ve been making hemp bracelets, and today I started two articles that I hope to finish and publish (one at a time) here for you guys to view and, hopefully, educate you all a little. :D

EDIT: Nauseating.

Talk about a turn for the worse in mood but…

It’s 1:30 in the morning, and I’m too tired to write up my own argument on this. Not to mention, I don’t think I could have put it any better. So go educate yourself on something happening today.
