If you happen to find yourself going through this blog and realizing that things are a bit out of place…
DON’T WORRY!
I’m just changing some stuff. So for the net week or so, everything will be a little out of place.
Want a random picture?
I googled “grantium”. This is what I got:

This is “awesome comb-over guy”. He’s a VP at Grantium, Inc.
Interesting… I guess.

A few days ago, I read an article in Newsweek regarding the religious case for gay marriage. Now look, I normally don’t like getting political and stuff on my blog (it’s really supposed to be an random assortment of whatever comes along in my head).
But the article had me thinking: If homosexuality was not seen as a sin in the Bible, would people (or as many people) still oppose gay marriages?
Leave a comment if you please!

Okay, okay, okay. I have to say something about my music taste. While I do love R&B and rap (speaking of which, I need to pre-order Kanye’s new album a.s.a.p.) and other traditionally American musical styles, I have to admit- I freaking love Euro-pop. I’m not too sure why, but I think it has to do with their personalities.
You see, in America, I feel like pop stars take themselves WAY too seriously. Yes, music should make you think, but not all music has too be deep. It can just be dance music, road trip music, I-need-a-pick-me-up music. That’s why I love European pop stars- they’re not trying to change the world; they’re just trying to make it a little more fun.
Thus begins my story…
I was listening to Junior Senior (euro-pop) on iTunes. iTunes has a section on the shopping page called “Just for You”. It analyzes the music that you buy and what’s in your library and recommends you more songs (and it’s always freakily accurate). Now, there is the Genius Bar located very conveniently in the library when you play music. Well, while “Ur a Girl” (my favorite song on Hey Hey My My Yo Yo) was playing, I decided to click on a random song in the genius bar: “Matter of Time” by Tahiti 80. I listen to the 30 second sample at least 20 times. The next day at school, I had the sample stuck in my head. I decided that when I got home, I would do a little research on Tahiti 80…
…And they’re more addicting that crack- not that I smoke crack or anything, I’m just making an analogy…
I can’t stop listening to them! All Around, Chinatown, Big Day, Matter of Time, Heartbeat! And I just love, love, LOVE the music video for A Love from Outerspace, with all the little lego people… it’s adorable!
I just got my paycheck (oh yeah, I GOT THE JOB AT THE SCIENCE STORE, which I think I’m going to announce now is really PARTY CITY!!!), so I’m going to cash it monday after school. Then, I’m getting an iTunes Card so I can purchase T80’s latest album.
Also, T80 is going on tour, but only in Europe, and my paycheck is large enough so I could get tickets to France… so I’m considering it… but I can’t.
Well, if you’re into music that sounds like (and I quote from their myspace page) “four beats to the bar with some 17 year old screaming about self-discovery (they’ve got a wicked sense of humor), go check ‘em out: Tahiti 80.

I left my computer at my mother’s house, so I haven’t been on it for a week.
The first thing I did when I logged on was to look-up some christmas-themed origami (for ornaments).
The second thing I did was log onto WordPress… which is really different. But I like it. I mean, I’m typing this post from the dashboard, which is pretty sick (in the good way).
I make some more updates this week!
