scott stapp isn't dead?

I discovered this unpublished entry on by dashboard today. I'm a little sad I never posted it, so I'm posting it now:

unfortunately, no. and even worse, it looks like he's churned out a solo album. oh the horror....the horror. as if it wasn't bad enough that creed ever existed in the first place, now one of the worst frontmen in the history of worst frontmen has his own cd??? it's almost as bad as hilary duff having her own greatest hits album (yeah i think i almost died of disgust when i got wind of that one). sure, i guiltily enjoyed a creed song every once in a while on the radio. but i knew damn well that it was crap. that's the point of pop music, catering to the majority's shitty taste in music. it's perfectly acceptable to enjoy pop, i've been known to rock out to the occasional kelly clarkson song. but just because it's catchy doesn't mean it's not crap.

so much of today's music is deplorable. which is why i've stopped listening to commerical radio altogether. i couldn't handle losing braincells from the sheer stupidity of it all. i can only imagine when popular music was equated with the beatles, marvin gaye, roy orbison, all the oldies but goodies. that shit rocked and still rocks the pants off of the countless mindless crooners that fill the airwaves with infinite permutations of formulaic hit songs.

but back to scott stapp. thanks to my aversion for commercial radio, i won't ever be hearing mr. stapp's undoubtedly pathetic excuse for music. but that doesn't stop me from feeling sad and disappointed that millions of people will and probably enjoy it. ~shrug~ to each their own, i guess.

I also wanted to note that my cellphone came with a Scott Stapp song on it, and I promptly deleted it without hesitation. Way to suck T-Mobile.

It's Officially Summer

Okay. I guess not officially for the rest of the world, but definitely for me. I had my last final today. It went alright, we'll see when I get my grades back. But not only is it now summer, but I now get to do all the things that I've been thinking about doing instead of studying.

So I thought I'd start with a brief update. I've been told to update this one since my enviroblog apparently isn't all that interesting (you know who you are). I guess wanting to save the planet for the hypothetical children that I never plan on having isn't that interesting to most people (I would lament right now about the lack of concern about the environment in general, but I guess I'll spare that harangue for a different blog.

Anyway, so. First things first. I'm gearing up to move next Friday! This has been quite a long and arduous ordeal—alright, maybe not long considering my parents will have gone through 2 escrows in less than 2 months, bur arduous definitely. I'd go into the whole story, but frankly I'm a little sick of the story and would rather just talk about how excited I am about moving out on my own. I would talk about the condo in detail if I weren't afraid of stalkers (not that anyone reads this anyway, but I'd rather not take the chance). Suffice it to say that my new place is incredibly awesome, I'm stoked out of my mind and I plan on having lots of parties—parties of all kinds: dinner parties, sushi parties, zombie movie parties, cranium parties, wine tasting parties, etc. So it's probably a good thing that my new Real Simple came in the mail today with this headline: "Entertaining made easy: 46 recipes and decorating ideas." Perfecto!

The parentals and brother will be coming down on Thursday to help me move out on Saturday, which is quite exciting. I've seen more of my family than usual, which always has its stresses, but overall, I've come to appreciate my family more now that I don't have to be with them everyday. But until they get here, I plan on doing all sorts of fun stuff that I haven't gotten a chance to do.

And once I get over the move, my boyfriend will (hopefully) be flying down for a few weeks and we'll be returning to Washington for a few weeks. Then I'm back down here for summer school starting in July.

I have a feeling it's gonna be a good summer (with lots of time for blogging).
