i wish i could live in a vampire weekend my entire life

Okay, so I'm not exactly sure what a Vampire Weekend is (I've read somewhere that it was the name of a short film Ezra Koenig made, but Wikipedia is notorious for it's fallacies), but judging by the music and videos that are labeled with it, it must be something pretty good. They've just released the video for the song Holiday off of their newest album, Contra. The video follows the trend of super fabulous off-beat videos that make a lot of sense (to me at least). The video kept me chuckling at the ridiculousness of them dressed as men from colonial america doing modern american things. Enjoy!

growing old

As many of you know, tis the season to be graduating, moving on the the next grade level, starting new things for yourself. Its like a mini new years eve, just take out the whole starting a new calender year thing, the fireworks, and all that good stuff.

I had a thought the other day while driving. I couldn't wrap my hands around the fact that I was driving a full sized vehicle. I remember day dreaming about the day that I would get my license, the day I was granted just a little more freedom to my monotonous pre-teen life that I wasn't too big a fan of at the time. These days I catch myself day dreaming about things that would grant me a shit load of more freedom, like college, living on my own, being able to decorate my own apartment, having kids (but not anytime soon, of course not!), and really creating a person to match my name.

It got me thinking, what will I be day dreaming about after I've gotten into college? Will I always have this empty void that I feel needs to be filled? Its a given that at a time in my life where I am on the cusp of being my own independent person, I'd have a lot to day dream about, and I do, but will I still have a world of things to dream about when I'm on my own? When I have my own kids who are day dreaming about the next thing in their lives, I wonder if I will still be day dreaming about the next thing in mine.

Just some food for thought.

Happy Saturday!

lip syncing and cats

I don't know if this a subconscious thing or if its just that I coincidentally keep stumbling upon videos like this, but lately I've been watching quite a few lip syncing videos that are just PHENOMENAL. It started with this video of two boys lip syncing perfectly to a stand up routine by Mr. Jerry Seinfeld.

All I could think about was wow, these kids have some talent. Then, just a few minutes ago, I found THIS

And all I could think about was wow, that cat (and his owner) have some talent. THEN, I started watching more talking cat videos and found this

and at that point, I called everyone in the house to come watch this hillariousness with me.

Happy Saturday!

Summer!

I know, I know, its still spring, but I can't help but fantasize about summer! This school year has been wonderful, but I think we are all due for a break. I think we're down to 15 or 16 days. Either way, it feels like an eternity. I'm sure we are all squirming in our seats with excitement for the days of staying up all night, sleeping till one, spending hours at the beach, and no obligations for a few weeks. I know I am! Here are some photos to get you excited (all fromyay!everyday)!

Happy Saturday!
