So Let's Give It Up For the New Year
so this is the new year? it feels the same as before. nothing fresh, nothing stale. memories that became legendary, the list too long to tell. plans for future destinations all achieved by the same thing… welcome to step one. enjoy your journey throughout the year. cherish every month, day, hour, minute, second, and moment you have. life is a gift.
song for today- “Resolution”...

i’m pretty certain i’m cursed. no, seriously, hear me out. i have the proof. okay as far as relationships, the last three girls i’ve really liked it hasn’t worked out. in all three cases, she’s liked two guys at the same, and yours truly gets the short end of the stick in each scenario. so you say, “okay tyler. three times in a row is a lot, but things like that...

You wanted me to see the world through your eyes
But you had your vision, i had mine
(And that’s just fine)
Put on the glasses so you can see
You’re just you, and I am just me
That’s just the way it was meant to be
You want all alone?
(Well I’ll leave you all alone)
This is a holiday without the happy
This is a sad song without the sappy
This is a verse with a...
Strangely Fine?

Please don't restrain me/I hear the city calling
i love going to pittsburgh. if you don’t, then you’ve never taken a trip with us before. as they say ‘it ain’t your daddy’s road trip.’ i’d bet the house you’d enjoy a trip there with us. that is, if you like laughter. if not, then maybe it’s best you sit it out on the sideline. the last trip there was fun. me driving really illuminates the...

the description is what i find so funny about this. yes, vinyl will only play on a turntable. who doesn’t know that? if you don’t, congratulations, you fail at life.
I want to get stuck and be molded in your memory
if that was fall out boy’s goal with folie à deux, let me congratulate them on a job well done. i can’t get it out of my head. just as one song leaves another one enters. i’m curious as to how many plays they end up with at the end of this week on my last fm. my most played artist in one week had 189 plays. any takers that they will blow that number away? get on that bet! as much...
