42. Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera? Christina. she's way hotter. britney is trailer trash.

I have come up with a list of songs that are not deemed classics, but should be. Actually, some songs are probably damn close to being classics.

I give you the top 10 best songs that should be classics/are close to being classics? ever. in the history of mankind. ...yeah thats a sweet name for a list.

10. I Believe- Blessed Union of Souls. Yeah, I know what your thinking, lame ass pop song. But seriously, give it a chance, pay close attention to the lyrics. they will at least get you thinking. Tell me they don't, and I'll call your lying ass out.

9. Blitzkrieg Bop- The Ramones. this song is fucking sweet. simply put.

8. Rock The Casbah-The Clash. which was way better before Will Smith sampled it in his gay ass song about the year 2000.

7. Anarchy in the UK- Sex Pistols. the godfathers of punk music. Where I got the name for my dog (Sid Vicious). and one of the biggest unsolved mysteries, which spawned a pretty badass movie. and besides, where do you think all the post-hardcore bands these days got the screaming from? Mr. Johnny Rotten. its true.

6. I Go to Extremes- Billy Joel. dont laugh at me. I heart the piano man. and this song is one of my favorites of his.

5. Forget Her- Jeff Buckley. his voice is one of the best I've EVER heard. and he was a badass guitar player as well.

4. I Wanna Be Sedated- The Ramones. how could you deny this song as a classic?

3. Should I Stay or Should I Go- The Clash. it also fucking rocks. and its real damn catchy. The Clash are badasses, and they are responsible for one of the best albums ever made, which goes by the name of "London Calling".

2. Last Goodbye-Jeff Buckley. it tugs on my heart strings. once again, his voice will fucking blow you away.

1. Boys Don't Cry- The Cure. listen to the song and just TRY not to feel sad for Robert Smith. He has, without a doubt, the most emotion in his voice/songs.

So sunday I turned 21. It was badass.

We went out to the bars in town at midnight on sat., and the night started off with a bar fight. A dude put out a cigarette on another guy, they knocked each other into an arcade game, knocked it over, and broke it. it rocked. I was trying not to laugh, but come on...

And also, every bar your at gives you a free drink if it's your birthday. Pretty fucking sweet. But if you live in Galesburg, DO NOT go to GP's or whatever its called...its right next door to cherry st. it's haggard. but a good laugh, and a definite self-esteem boost.

And I also met my mom up at the bar here and had a drink with her. Her friend was there and she was all like "no! you can't be in here! you're too young!"

but the thing that got me is that I still haven't been ID'ed yet. grr...

But this sunday when I go to chicago I know they'll ID me, at least at the door. yess!

anyways, moral of the story is my birthday kicked ass. Sunday will too.

So...I enjoyed the movie "The Notebook." and it makes me want to punch myself in the kidney.

as we all know, I am very anti-chick flick.

So Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my all-time favorite movies. It's amazing. And Circa Survive is one of my favorite bands.

Well it just so happens that Circa Survive has a song called "Meet me in Montauk" or however you spell it...and its from that movie. no, not in the soundtrack or anything...but they got it from that. It was the last line Kate Winslett said to Jim Carey before his memories of her were totaly erased.

God that movie is brilliant. If you've ever been in love or you are in love, you will shed a tear or two. And Circa Survive is pretty damn brilliant too.

Ok...so I've had like a billion rap/hip hop artists try to add me... I HATE RAP AND HIP HOP and if you took the time to read shit you'd see i dont listen to that garbage. and I hate techno too. It requires zero talent. So think about it...if your a techno or rap/hip hop "musician" trying to add me...it's just a waste of time. I'm going to deny you, and I wont listen to your shit.

and please dont' sit here and post comments on this blog to bitch because you like that music and i dont share your taste in it, or send me messages bitching about how rap and hip hop is good and you like it and blah blah blah...cuz i dont give a shit if you like it. yeah, good for you. I dont. and you won't change my opinion. just so that's clear.

and if you do, I will judo chop you in the mouth.

oh...while i'm attacking music...country music sucks too. muahaha.well, with the exception of a few songs. like 2 maybe. there. now i've totaly burned every genre i cant stand. much better.

by the way, I love dogma. I think it's great.

-You're Infected. Your Top 8 has the cure. One must die, who?
Logan. hahaha no i'm just kidding i love you logan. i would probably just let myself die i'm not selfish i wouldnt sacrifice others to save myself.

my sister, which is sort of obvious, but other than that, emily, cuz she's known me since i was like, frigging 4 or 5.
-Describe a typical Monday for you?
well i've had a routine change because i got a promotion, so now it will go as follows:  wake up, go to inkeepers and get a cappucinno and some doughnuts (or maybe a mcgriddle from mickyd's), go to the office, edit the paper. go home take a little nap, get up work on stories, then go to my meeting by 5 and get more stories. nights are then free to do as i please.
- Any odd routines you follow when you wake up?
no nothing too out of the norm. brush my teeth, maybe get some breakfast, watch some televizzle.
- If alcohol was banned worldwide, what would your reaction be?
panic. anger and frustration because i will be legal to consume it soon. but then again, didn't we learn a lesson from the prohibition era???
- When was the last time you cried?
a couple weeks ago. something very bad happened to me
- Your CD collection is going to be reposessed. You may keep one, what do you choose?
hmm..well i'd cheat. i'd keep my acceptance cd or nirvana cd and download the rest of them all over again. muahahaha.
-Do you believe world peace is possible?
No. people are dicks, they're stupid. it would be nice though.

-I'm a genie. Name your wish (Money and Love cannot be granted)?
i wish i didnt have to worry about shit anymore. and i wish for a new car. and a plane ticket to cali. tomorrow.
-Name one thing about the OPPOSITE sex that automatically turns you off.
cockiness, being an asshole, and being a boy-slut and thinking its cool
-Name one thing about the SAME sex that automatically turns you off?
sluttiness and bitchiness
- Speaking of SAME sex, what do you think of Brokeback Mountain?
I dont care if he plays a gay cowboy, jake gyllenhall is fucking hot.
-What popular phrases do you find to be incredibly annoying?
that's hot...death to paris hilton. well its more of her trying to market it as her own even though people have said it for ages. i'm gonna start saying "radical" and claim that as my own. woohoo.
-Leatherface is in the kitchen. Will you fight to victory, or hide?
I would hide, and if he found me fight my ass off.
-Do you feel that people underestimate you?
definetly.
-Was it just me, or did Mariah lipsynch half her performance at the Grammys?

not alot but sometimes with emily or whatev.
 When it comes to cybersex, are you game?
fuck no that shit is so damn lame. why the hell would anyone do that?
-. Do you believe minimum wage should be raised?
it doesnt really matter cuz if minimum wage goes up, the prices of everything else go up. point is, minimum wage will always suck.
- If someone at a bar gives you "the look" how do you respond to it?
I dont know what look, the good or bad one? in any situation, you just smile and wave. it works both ways, iether 'hey there!' friendly thing or to taunt their scowling ass.
- Desperation happens. Do you take advantage of desperate people?
No, I'm too nice for that
-. Pretend you're 15 deep in beers. Describe what you would be doing now.
i'd iether be dancing and singing to my own tune and being really REALLY loud, or passed out, vomiting, and dying of alcohol poisoning cuz 15 beers is alot and i'm a lightweight.
- Sometimes people get depressed. Are you the one they turn to?
yes. i'm a good listener and i give good advice. and besides, i'm so damn cheery all the time and i'm goofy you cant help but be cheered up by me. i mean im the type of person who if i get down about something i'm not down for long. i'm resilient. it sort of rubs off on people at times.
- Describe your "style".
I wear clothes. i wear clothes i like. i wear what i want, bitch.
- Describe what your "type" is.
a guy who makes me laugh, who i actually have fun with, who gives me butterflies in my stomach, who isnt serious all the time, who shares at least some common interests with me, likes to go out and party and shit without overdoing it, is trustworthy, who can be himself and not have to "spit game" or act a certain way to try to impress me. i want to know a guy for who he really is, not fall for him under false pretenses just to find out what a cocksucker he is later on in the relationship.
- Love and Sex go together. Would you have sex if no love was involved?
No. if i were to have sex with someone although i may not be totaly in love with them, i have to have some feelings for them. i wont sleep with a person i had no intentions on being with.
-Does everyone in your life know the real you?
yes. i'm not anybody else but me. take it or leave it.
- What is something you're afraid of. (Be more creative than "Snakes")?
being alone. maybe not now, but later in life.
