I don’t think I have quite enough readers for this to work well yet, but I’m going to give it a try anyway. I’m starting this new recurring blog post (like awesome people) called “SHARE YO MUSIC.” Each volume, I’ll post a song that I find particular good for you to listen to and download, then in the comments you all can post a good song that you’re listening to right now. Any song, by any artist, in any genre works!
The first song I want to do is… RIDIN’ SOLO by JASON DERULO To listen:
I actually first heard this song the other night when somebody posted it on somebody else’s Facebook wall at like 2 in the morning. Lurk that I am, I listened to it, and have listened to it about 15 times since then. I really like Jason Derulo.
If you disapprove of this song and/or Jason Derulo, post something better! Feel free to post using a fake name if you don’t want the world to know about your Miley Cyrus obsession.
This has been all over Facebook lately so you’ve probably already seen it, but I think that it’s so great that I wanted to post it here too.
There’s this guy, DJ Earworm (interesting name…), who took the top 25 Billboard songs in the US of 2009 and combined them into one, incredible four and a half minute song. It’s beyond awesome, so if you haven’t seen it yet, check it out below:

I love the way Chris Martin says the word “Florida.” I mean, yeah, the word as an “i” in it, but everyone just says FLOR-DA. Noooot Chris Martin! He stresses that “i” and puts on one hell of a show in West Palm Beach, FLOR-I-DA. Check out this clip recorded from my phone:

SO AMAZING!
David, Jenny and I (plus other etceteras) sat pretty far away as you can see in that picture, but it was totally worth it. We can’t all be like Valeria and chase Chris Martin around the entire place until security stops you ;)
I’m heading back to NYC tomorrow.
As excited as I am to start film school on Monday, I could definitely go for a few more weeks of FLOR-I-DA.
Have fun at prom tomorrow everyone! I’m sad that I’m missing the afterparties.

I’ve always had this idea of Brooklyn of being like run down, ghetto, and dangerous. But even though it’s only 3 stops on the L train away from my dorm, I’ve never actually been there! That is… until today, when my Writing class took a field trip there to look at some art galleries. When I first came out of the subway, some like tricked out car was speeding by blasting Hot97 (the Power96 of New York) and I was just like… wow… I’m going to die here.
Turns out, Brooklyn is insanely awesome. All of the buildings look old and rundown (very traditional NYC) like in the pic above and there’s really nothing more than 4 or 5 stories, but the people and the stores and stuff are so cool. It has a very different feel than Manhattan… a lot less people on the street, and hardly any chain stores. I must have passed like three vinyl record stores (David you would have loved it). It’s too bad that all of the local places are closing because of the economy.
