Why are there rules to relationships? Random thought

I guess sometimes I feel like
ppl put to much emphasize on
"how" relationships are suppose
to be; and in a way it just
tends to ruin something that
could have worked out really
well. We often let ppl influence
our decisions, what we view to be
right or wrong, but quite frankly
I'm just a little fed up with that.
Now I understand that just tends to be
how our society works. We want to
label every damn thing, and we model
so much of ourselves after ppl who are
not in our situations. Why? ....
-Chris of Thee Collective Its
sad that ppl can barely think
for themselves. We allow everyone
to think for us.

Thee iPad is here

So the iPad looks amazing! It seems to be a
really cool gadget and of course it is beautifully
designed. My only concern is...I have an iPod touch,
a macbook pro, as well as a mac desktop at home..
do I really need an iPad?...hell idk but I want one!

Humans living in Space

Meet Mircales of Modern Science.


They are amazing.
They are distorting my meaning of gd music.
They are excellent.

Mircales of Modern Science
formed from a collection of
"orchestra dropouts and jazz band rejects."
Orginating from the cusp of Princeton University
they define there sound as
"orchestral space pop."
No guitars, no electronics,
just bass, violin, cello,
mandolin, and drums.
...Awesome!

Im currently listening to
MR2 as i'm updating.

R.I.P....

You will be missed.

One of my fav bands

Yeasayer




I just dig them.
Here is their song "Sunrise," I think
this is a pretty decent introductory to their sound,
Atleast most people like it. I guess would could say
their a indie band with folk and tribal influences.
LOVE THE AFRICAN DRUMS.
