I'm so disappointed when I go to my favorite blog and there hasn't been a post in a few days. Even more so when there hasn't been a post in 4 months *cough* Mackenzie *cough*. But then I realize, what a hypocrite! I haven't written on here in exactly 4 months.

There have been a lot of stories in the news about zombie-like acts lately, and it's really quite scary! You never know who's really a monster..could be your neighbor or that creepy guy who comes in and requests you to be their server every week *gulp*. Recently I've learned of these horrible pieces of news:

someone eating a man's face
a dad beheading his own daughter because he wasn't happy with her lifestyle
a man chopping up another man and sending his body parts to different places
a woman with a flesh-eating disease after falling off a zip line
the Twilight series has another movie coming out


Being a 27 year old in 2012, I feel strangely as if I'm falling behind in the technology. I can't even imagine being in say, my 70's, and trying to comprehend all of this. I remember when a tweet was the noise a bird made, a tumbler was a toy, and yelp was what a dog did when you stepped on his tail. Being connected is cool and all, it just all seems too much sometimes.

Tell everyone what you're eating and doing every 3 minutes on Twitter, take pictures of your food and pets on Instagram, play games against everyone you've ever met through applications connected to Facebook, check in at every location you go to on Foursquare. Rate those places on Yelp! Find dates on Match.com, find friends on Meetup.com, find free air conditioners on Craigslist. Find a good plumber on AngiesList.com. ***

Sometimes I'd like to just be unplugged for a day....oh yeah, I'm writing this on my blog....

I am a horrible person for not posting in months! I can assure you that that will never happen again because I'm back for good! Now can you post stuff too?!

Yes, I have another post about motorists- they may just be the thing that angers me most (and I'm really not an angry person, mind you). Yesterday was beautiful so I went for a bike ride on a trail near my house. For once I went without my iPod and it was a nice change to hear nature instead of music in my ears. The trail crosses a couple of roads, one major, the other just petty little roads (who needs 'em). I come up to the road and this sign is VERY clearly posted for the drivers to see Now what part of STATE LAW do you not understand? I stood and waited with my bike for 5 cars to pass before a nice, law-abiding driver stopped for me which I promptly waved to thank them for such a nice gesture. I get if someone's just coming up to the crosswalk and the driver's a too little close for them to slam on their brakes to stop for; But when someone's just standing there waiting to cross the road for a while, stop already! That's just rude. Especially for runners....

uh...BUM stands for Business Unit Manager

So as some of you may know, I'm currently job searching, which turns out to be IMPOSSIBLE. I've come across other 20 somethings who are looking for work, most of them just getting out of college. Good luck!! I've been here in Maryland since January searching for my career around DC. It's almost May and guess how many interviews I've had...you guessed it! 0. None. Zip. Zilch. I've even had to go through THREE interviews for a waitressing job. Yes, you heard me. 3. I'm still waiting on that third interview. I'm hoping that the managers are waiting until they have a large enough group to go through training and that's why I haven't had a call... I would like to know what kind of sick joke the universe is playing on me. Saturday afternoon I get a voicemail from some lady about coming in for an interview. There are a few things wrong with this proposal: 1. What kinda 9-5 job calls on a Saturday afternoon before Easter to talk work? 2. She said ...

Check out Swenlo, Generators of Evil Part I- It's pretty cool

  The creator of Generators of Evil Part 1 , Vadim Sahakian , goes by a few names, including Midav, and his project name, Swenlo. He has been making music and playing classical piano and guitar for over a decade. He wanted to express himself in both simpler and more meaningful ways, though, and that was the start of his electronic music production. Swenlo created his own music label, Spirit Charity, which fosters likeminded artists with the outlet to create freely. This psychedelic album begins with what sounds like it could be a newscast bringing with it a feeling of foreboding while talking about “the beginning,” the backdrop being a bevy of dark, ominous sounds. Then after some talk in an Asian language, at around the two minute mark, there is a slow guitar lead-in to a segment that emulates the muffled, echo-y quality of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.”    Continue Reading...
