Non-Collection Blog

I have a collection to write about today, and I brought my camera with me to work so I could download the pictures off of it. Unfortunately, I did not bring the cord used to download the pictures. So.. my collection post will have to be made later tonight. But it will come!

In the meantime.. I went to visit my ma yesterday in Kannapolis (K-town!) so I could get a picture of an old collection. It was a good time. I watched the Buccaneers game on my ma's NFL Sunday Ticket. They won! woo! And Appalachian won on Saturday. AND I beat Jared in Fantasy Football. So I had a good weekend. Um, back to my Mom's house.. I walked in and saw this:














My brother was in a parking lot the other day and heard a kitten mewing in a bush. He walked over to find this little girl and her 2 deceased siblings. So he brought her to my Ma's house. She has been bottle feeding her. I collect snowglobes and my mother collects cats. She swears she's going to find a home for it once it's old enough.. Anybody want an adorable little kitten? My mother already has 5 cats. She needs no more.




And another thing. On the way home last night all of normal radio stations were playing crap. I switched to FM2 and switched through when I landed on 104.7. Usually they play 80s 90s and today type stuff but last night? They were playing CHRISTMAS music. Is it really that time already? OMG.

bad.. soooooooo bad...

Now, I have nothing against Van Halen.

But seriously, boss in Hickory and boss in Lenoir. It's been 2 weeks since you went to see them perform in Greensboro. It's been 20 years since they were cool to anyone younger than you. Must we listen to them all day, every day? Must I hear them muffled slightly, yet very audible, coming from your office every day? Must I want to poke my eardrums out with a fork? I understand you want to relive every moment from when you were 20 and you had your awesome mullet and you had every Van Halen cassette. I get it. I was cooler when I was 20 too. But you don't see me going around listening to "island music" anymore and forcing my coworkers to listen to Bloodhound Gang. I was a better drinker back then, too. Does that mean I should start drinking at work? Should I try to find a video on youtube of that concert I went to that totally rocked?

Bad News

I almost had to kick Jared out last week. He had already moved everything in, and we were slowly putting things away in places. On my footstool, after moving some towels and such, I found Jared's CDs. In a panic, I rifled through the pages of CDs looking for what I hoped he had left out. Passing through Tantric and Shinedown, I finally found what I had not been hoping to find:



Yes, that's right, a Creed CD. *Shudder*

A few months ago after I had expressed my deep dislike for the band Creed, Jared quietly confessed to me his deepest secret, that he owned a Creed CD. It took a lot of work, emotionally and physically to still accept him and love him, but I got over it and I warned him never to bring it into our house.

And then he did.

At first I panicked. I didn't know what to do. I told him he was evil for doing it. I had a genius plan to get Beefcake to poo on it. That didn't work out because after a minute I got tired of holding Beefcake there. After several attempts to get rid of it, I've finally accepted that it is there. I am okay with it, as long as he never, ever plays it on any CD player in the house. Or in my car.. ew.

The fact is, he doesn't like them anymore, and he is embarrassed he still has it in there. I guess everyone has embarrassing CDs left over from long ago.

Here are some I found rifling through my CDs:

-Coneheads movie soundtrack (come on, who doesn't love Tainted Love by Soft Cell?)

-Insane Clown Posse (they were pretty funny... 10 years ago..)

-Limp Bizkit (to be fair, it was a gift and I've never listened to the whole CD)

-Marilyn Manson Remix & Repeat (uh, I don't know)

-Savage Garden (That guy was kind of hot.)

-The Prodigy Experience (um, it was, um... free?)

and the most embarrassing
-N*Sync's Girlfriend, the Remix featuring Nelly (I didn't include No Strings Attached on this list because it is a great CD and I will defend that to the death)

These are pretty bad. Hey, at least I don't have Hanson's MMmBop. .... .. anymore.....

What are your embarrassing CDs?

the avett brothers, my favorite band.

My favorite band, the avett brothers, are finally on the Billboard's Top 200!

Yay! And I love the new album! Go buy it. Emotionalism is the name of it. You can buy it on Itunes too. Go buy it!
