Tonight, We Dine, In HELL!!!

So not only is this around the two-year mark of the initiation of this blog (too lazy to look up the actual day) but this is my 300th post (get the title reference?)

I tried to think of possible things I could do to celebrate this post. I tried to look through videos and pictures and come up with something really cool. But honestly, nothing came to mind.

So really, after 300 posts and two years of blogging, I just want to say thanks. To all the readers who listened to me ramble about music, rant about things in my personal life and my occasional wrestling talk.

Let's go for more 300 more in 2013!

Because after all,

This, Is, BLOGGING!!!

Ok, I'm done...

Scream at the Top of Your Lungs

The other day I randomly clicked on a song and started singing along really loud. I think I was getting it all out of my system for when I have to move soon and will no longer be able to play my music as loud as possible (how's that for a tease of a future post?)

I have a friend that I have perfected the art of the random text with and I shared this with her, simply stating "I'm currently singing I will survive at the top of my lungs. An alternative cover that is"

She then replied asking me what my favorite song to belt out is. And the idea for this post was born.

I could honestly turn this into a new Music Sunday idea (thoughts?) but here is a tiny sample of my favorite songs to sing (and air guitar/bass/drum/rap) like I'm the greatest musician in the world.

Enjoy these while you visualize one of your favorite bloggers gettin down and then leave some of your favorites.


Not only is this an amazing track, but it better win video of the year:





*Oh, and I'm not kidding about that last one. I would kill that song in karaoke.

C'Mon Blogspot, It's Not What You Think, Let Me Explain

So for some reason, I went to reply to the comments on my last post, but it wasn't working with me. So here is what was going through my head when I wrote that.

When I first started blogging, I was addicted. And that's no exaggeration. I was posting almost every day, checking a bunch of blogs daily as well. It got to the point where I had this little community, where we were all commenting on each other's stuff, that included names like the girl with the pink teacup, jeanette, Mr. Condescending, Natalie, Miss H and Lola Lakely. While a couple of them still do some posts, the majority of them have fallen off for various reasons.

In the almost two years since, I've met other cool people who have stuck around with me (Sara, Allison, Lisa) but for some reason in recent months, I was just not feeling the desire to log in to blogspot. And that's the thing - I want to. I want to be back into it.

So, as much as I had talked about it in the past, that post wasn't an announcement of operations ceasing to exist here. It was more of a memo to myself to try and get back into this. And a call back to one crazy summer.

A blogger friend of mine, who, like others I think is starting to drop the "blogger" description and just go with the friend word, suggested to me to consider not closing up shop on A Rush of Blog to the Head. Discussed always having a space of your own to come to with your thoughts. That advice was well received and I will honestly probably always keep this open.

I wish I could say that I've been incredible busy and that's why blogging has been left behind. But actually, I've been tweetin and tumblin with the best of em. So maybe it's just that my attention span has been dramatically lowered? And also I just knocked out the first season of Friday Night Lights and all of what Parks and Recreation has done before that. So it's not a time issue.

I've actually thought about it and I think it's because of my job. I spend all my working hours researching and looking up stuff, taking notes and putting those into a story that goes into an editing process that maybe I am just burnt out from writing.

But that sounds like an excuse.

And honestly blogspot, you deserve better than that. You've been there for me in tough times. Maybe we have just moved past the infatuation stage and now we gotta work at our relationship.

So let's get to work.

Mr O - The Movie Star

Have you ever wanted to see a video containing the author of this blog? Well, what about one co-starring my bfff? If so, you have come to the right place.

Though Jamie basically recapped on her blog, I will give a brief description here.

Her and I have been friends for years now. She has seen my highs and lows and I have been there for hers. Today was a day where we were just hanging out. But it was also a day where we decided to do a vlog.

After discussing ideas for too long of a time, we came upon the idea of telling the story of our friendship. However, as predicted, the video was really long (over seven minutes to be exact).

So, being the fan of Tosh.0 that I am, we decided to take a cue from his "spoiler alert" segment and cut it down and only show clips. Nearly five minutes was cut to give you the product below.

*Note: If there is interest to see the extended "full" version, just let us know. If not, we are not going to through all that uploading mess for nothing.

Enjoy.

Vlog Question

There is a 32% chance that I might be doing a vlog this weekend.

IF that happens, does anybody have any suggestions of what they would like to see?

28 Days Later: Week Four




And now, Week 4...


Day 22

With nothing special happening that day, I decided to take a pic showing off the fresh shave and fresh cut (I was looking pretty homeless before this).

Day 23

Went for a walk on my random day off and took this pic while sitting at a park bench

Day 24

Downloaded some effects for my phone. So I decided to test some out on, what else, a set of Rock Band drums.

Day 25

A "behind the scenes" shot if you will of different forms of media gathering at one location

Day 26

We thought it was sexist that this poster only had an open spot for the female. So we stuck it to the system.

Day 27

Again, just trying out effects on my phone.

Day 28

I call this one "Red Light During a Thunderstorm"
