Happy Valentines Day! (yuck)

I do not enjoy being bitter and cynical, it just happens sometimes. Ok, I'm not really bitter or cynical I suppose, but the truth is that I have never been a huge fan of Valentines day- even when I was not single. And now that I am single, Valentines day seems to be the most taunting of all the holidays. So as a tribute to Valentines day, I have decided to make a top 10 list of anti-Valentines songs! Enjoy!

10. Foo Fighters "Best of You" (mainly because I love them and needed them to be on this list)

9. Mumford and Sons "One Blank Page"


8. Blondie "Heart of Glass"


7.  The White Stripes "Forever for her (is over for me)"

6. Cee Lo Green "Forget You"


5. Travis Tritt "Here's a Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares" (although now it would be more like call someone on your cell phone because pay phones are obsolete)

4. All American Rejects "Gives You Hell"




3. Katy Perry "Hot N Cold"

2. Adele "Rolling In the Deep" (love her! great video!)

1. Carly Simon "You're So Vain"


Hope you enjoyed the list and enjoy your Valentines day regardless of your relationship status! As for me, I will be going out with some friends later to discuss the awesomeness of being single! Happy Tuesday everybody!

Blog name change.

Ah, being awake at 4 am is such fun. Especially when I have to be at my internship in less than four hours. Anyway, changed the name of the blog- mainly because the other name was so long. Going to try and catch a few more zzz's before 8 o'clock. Good night all...or good morning...how about just Happy Monday!

things that can define an era...part 1

What do this...


and this....

have in common?

Ever had a song, a TV show, a movie, or any other type of media that defines an era of your life? I think it can be really interesting what songs/albums and other things that anytime you see them, you immediately go back to that time? The Waltons and the Catch and Release soundtrack defined my life this past July and August. It was when I was going through the worst of my crazy emotions, including being depressed and anxious. They both seemed so perfect for different reasons. The Waltons gave me something to focus on and distract me from the madness. It is nice to have problems that are solved in an hour. Although I'm still processing, my problems took slightly longer to deal with than an hour. I don't blame the Waltons for that though. And then there is the Catch and Release soundtrack. Every track did not relate to me, but the emotions behind a good majority of the songs I could absolutely relate to.

So what are your songs, or albums, or TV shows that define an era?
