This is a song called Proud of You by 10 Years. I heard it on Last FM radio while writing. Caught my attention. It’s a sweet song. I hear the band is pretty good, so I’ll probably check them out one of these days. Enjoy.
A few nights ago, we were out in the city and heard this song. Thanks to my iPhone app Shazam and memorizing a few lyrics, we figured out it was called The Red by Chevelle. I’ve heard of this band several times just never got around to listening to their stuff. I really like the song and after watching the music video, I realize it looks very familiar. Back to reading. Enjoy.
Note: I’ll start posting about videos I favorite here more often.

I have trouble with procrastination and I get distracted very easily. It seems as though it’s time I learn some time management skills.
Facebook, YouTube, Googling random trivia, XBOX, Netflix, Forums, AIM (and all sorts like it) must be cut off from my life. Seriously. I never knew how distracting the Internet can be. It’s your friend and enemy all in one. One day while “doing homework”, I saw a video on YouTube by a pretty cool chick (Krissie Speaks) who shares her opinions on random topics and answers questions. I’ve been a subscriber of hers for a few years now. I saw one video where she talked about procrastination and making small changes shortly after experiencing an emotional breakdown. Now, I haven’t had a breakdown, but I’m surprised after these past several months that I haven’t had my own academic meltdown. Still, I can identify with what she was saying.
Another video (by Antishay) made a lot of sense about letting go responsibilities that no longer seem relevant or necessary, but I find myself not being able to let go of much. I was close to that state of mind Antishay was expressing after reading The Power of Now, but it seems like life’s complications and obligations have caught up and controlled my life. Last semester I struggled, but did wonderfully. Now I’m slipping. It’s not even the amount of work I have to do, it’s how I fail to manage through it efficiently. I need to focus. Even right now as I’m writing this, I should be writing an assignment or reading. I’ll get through this semester, but my goodness, I need a major To Do List and stick with it.
I have to improve my schoolwork habit and learn to focus. No social life, here I come.
I either dig you at lot or not at all. He just went from one end to the other.
Last night I was reflecting on this one fellow I recently stopped speaking to and this song came to mind. He was nice and all, even had a stamp of approval by a few friends. Eventually I noticed how incredibly fussy he could be. If there was something he didn’t like, his shutdown sequence initiated. Double You Tea F?!
The first time I tried making things right. That took two weeks. Yeah… exactly. It’s pretty unfair to throw someone to the side when they’re attempting to resolve the situation. The second time was a complete turn off. As usual, I figured he was busy, because I get busy during the week and enjoy my independence. Then I realized he was just being shady. I really think this dude got so upset by his own far out assumptions, ’cause I sure as hell didn’t do a thing wrong. I’m tired of playing peacemaker here.
It finally hit me: if he really did like me, he would put in the effort. So, by the lack of evidence, I dropped his case a lot easier than my first attempt.
The sudden simplicity made me start reflecting, “Maybe I didn’t like him as much as I thought I did.” I was really digging him until I realized he represented an idea. And I liked that idea more than I liked him as a person — bad habit of mine. He had his good qualities, but overtime it became all too complicated. Our temperaments are practically opposite, which was refreshing… for awhile. I found myself frustrated half the time just trying to communicate. I was trying so hard to make him the guy I was hoping for rather than just looking at the facts and moving on.
Hey, at least I tried. There are a lot of cold-blooded chicks out there that don’t give a crap. They’d expect your heart surrounded with diamonds by the third date. Perhaps he’s a man of few words. But c’mon, seriously? I just can’t deal with people who are incapable of communicating their thoughts/feelings. We’re adults now.
As of late, I’ve been obsessed with the movie Pineapple Express. I have a habit of using movies like the radio. I use movies like anyone might use the radio as they clean, study, or lounge around. Perhaps the movies fill up the silence and gives me a sense of company without the responsibility of hosting.
Near the end of the movie, Dale saves Saul from a flaming farmhouse of weed (LOL) and the music caught my attention. Who would’ve thought Pineapple Express would introduce me to a new band! In the moment, the song is rather dramatic, which makes the scene amusing. But the song alone is sweet and simple. Here’s the song, I Didn’t Mean To Hurt you, by Spiritualized.
