Today, I Change The World. Tomorrow....I Watch Reruns Of The Hills

There are certain days when my heart/soul/brain combo is INTENSELY sensitive to everyone and everything. All words said to me evoke feelings I didn't know I had. Any article even remotely poignant sparks an interest in me to start a global revolution. Songs I have heard hundreds of times suddenly seem like brand new symphonies played by Mozart's ghost who has risen up just for this day. I decide to go back to college. I decide to marry an ex-boyfriend. I decide to adopt 3 kids from Indiana. I promise myself I'll drink more water and never procrastinate again. I swear I'll go to a BeyoncĂ© concert next time she tours. Shit you not, I think I look like George Washington crossing the Delaware in that famous painting every time this happens. I am a juggernaut rocket ship of relevancy that absolutely can not be stopped.

I love these days. Because on other days, I eat an entire jar of salsa and watch Real Housewives of the OC.

I Am Totally OK With Never Hearing These Songs Again

1. "Baby, I love your way". I have no idea who originated it, I don't care. Just get it out of my ears. Forever.

2. "Jammin" - Bob Marley. I'm sorry. I really am sorry, but.... I can't. I just can't.

3. "Get Lucky" - Daft Punk. The fact that it's so marketable that it can be played on pretty much every station in existence wore it out in about 37 seconds. NO MORE.

4. "Lights" - Ellie Goulding. You know why? Because this song came out about 2 years before it ever became popular and I'm ready for NEW stuff to be played by Ellie because she's amazing. Love her.

5. "I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You" - Savage Garden. This doesn't even make fucking sense! I wrote a ridiculous song called "White Heat Runnin' Through The Moonlight" when I was 9 years old that is better than this shit.

6. "The Cupid Shuffle" - Origins (thankfully) unknown. I don't love organized religion and I like organized dance even less. I'm sick of people taking perfectly catchy songs and making them into a damn line dance (I'm looking at you, Wobblers). Cut it out!

7. "Learning To Fly" - Tom Petty. Normally love him, something about this song irks me. No thanks.

8. "Old Time Rock And Roll" - Bob Seger. Again, big fan, but at some point every wedding DJ in the world got together and were like "This is it! This is the song that kicks off my set every time and people will DANCE". Same thing could be said for "Shook Me All Night Long", but it's sexy so I'll allow it.

9. "Redneck Crazy" - Tyler Farr. This song is a newcomer to radios everywhere and the hate portion of my brain. When I first heard it, I literally thought it was a parody song from SNL or something. I actually like country, but now every single time I turn to a country station anywhere, this song is playing. And this song can suck my dick. It's terrible and it's the very reason people hate this entire genre of music. Also, the girl from this song should call the police because dude is unstable. And pathetic.

10. Anything by Peter Frampton. WTF is that guy even doing with a microphone??? Terrible.
