Like seriously, what's with the profuse posting?
Did anyone go to school today? All I know is that there was just so much snowfall and chaos that I decided not to go. It was only the first day of the semester, so it was basically everyone just getting introduced to each other. I really don’t understand why my school made the first day of school on a Friday. But I suppose it doesn’t really matter too much. I’ve had a break from school since Monday. I can’t believe my break has been this long but it has been so good.
I discovered a lot, such as the fanfiction I posted a couple entries back and I rekindled some old loves like the vlogbrothers. Most importantly, I watched a lot of CNN, specifically the politics segments. I finally realised that even though I want to be a translator or an editor or a teacher, being in politics would not actually be so far-fetched for me. I know that politics are a pretty ugly game but they interest me infinitely and I want to know more.
This week has been pretty much a learning experience and I’ve had a few laughs and good moments. One of the things that most people know I need for living is music. Music is the liquid in my veins and it keeps me from falling over and dropping dead. This week I downloaded loads of new songs but they were mostly from the same old artists. However, there is one artist I found whom I absolutely adore.
I discovered an artist called Jack Johnson. He is fairly popular now but I realised that there are actually songs I heard from him prior to his rise to fame - I just didn’t know they were his. He is a little bit of Jason Mraz (who is another obsession of mine) but slightly more acoustic. His songs are sad and happy at the same time, but most importantly there is always a metaphor or a story in them. Another thing I love about them is their wisdom.
If you’re looking for a new artist and if you’re getting bored with your old music, Jack Johnson is pretty much made of awesome. One of my favourite songs from him is Sitting, Waiting, Wishing. Some other good songs are… well, actually I cannot even choose since they are all so good. If I had to absolutely shorten the list to the five best (apart from Sitting, Waiting Wishing), I would have to say, in no particular order:
1. Staple It Together
2. Dreams Be Dreams
3. Better Together
4. Banana Pancakes
5. Never Know
I almost feel bad about excluding the other songs I found because they are all really good, too. But if you’re only going to download a couple songs from him (if any) you should go ahead and download those. He’s such an inspiration! I’m listening to Sitting, Waiting, Wishing right now and I just feel like I have to say this! He’s so amazing. Whenever I’m sad he makes me happy and whenever I’m happy he keeps me there. I’m one of those people that when I’m sad and I listen to a sad song I feel better because I feel like I’m not the only one. And when I’m happy and I listen to a sad song I’m still happy and it brings me down to Earth in a way.
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
No I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you.
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool.
Fool…
