New Video: It's In The Morning - Robin Thicke feat. Snoop
This is my favorite song from his most recent album Sex Therapy so I was hype to see it... But I think it leaves a lot to be desired.
I.e. it was bland. But! I still like the song, so I can't really complain all that much.

Here comes the end of my teenage years... 2000-2009.
War. Hurricanes. Tsunamis. Deaths. Depression. Scandals. Music. Politics.
I feel like we've seen so much in the past 10 years, I don't think I could even try to recall all of the significant events.

Everybody's been putting together lists (see: Complex's Best of the 2000s) to commemorate the biggest achievements, the biggest disasters, and the biggest stories. A lot of these lists make me think about how much attention we give to unimportant "news." Remember when Paris Hilton was arrested in 2006? Remember how it was all over CNN and other major news networks? Why do we pay such a ridiculous amount of attention to what are actually fairly insignificant stories? Don't get me wrong -- I'm definitely not immune to this entertainment-hungry disease. It comes from the countless hours I've spent watching TV, reading magazines, surfing the internet, and listening to the radio -- I'm now trained to keep up with the little tidbits. I know my fair share of celebrity news. And it's definitely not always a bad thing to know what's going on -- commemorating Michael Jackson's life after his death this summer was absolutely necessary -- but sometimes it's a bit extra. Why are people hawking celebrity twitter pages to stay up on all the drama and "beefs"? Why is it even relevant?
Okay, so maybe I'm just complaining. But I do think it's kind of ridiculous that, of a list of events/stories/moments/discoveries/people from this decade that I could potentially create, the majority would be fairly silly stuff. Kanye acting up on MTV? Rihanna's new haircut? Paris & Kim's sex tapes? Janet's wardrobe malfunction? The explosion of horrible (... okay, horribly, entertaining) reality TV shows? Jennifer/Brad/Angelina? Britney Spears (in her entirety)?
It's hard to know where to the line between acceptable & unacceptable, so I'm not going to try to do it. I know I'd be making exceptions for particular stories and people. But, I hope that as I live out my 20s in the next decade, that I will be able to pay attention to more that goes on around me. Especially things that directly (or indirectly) affect me.

Surprise, surprise... I'm back! : updates, new music, downloads, your thoughts?
Updates
First and foremost... I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! After a long trip (8.5 hour overnight train ride, during which some dude had the nerve to stay on the phone cursing some chick out and telling her he misses her at the same time at 1am, 4:30am, and 6:30am...) I'm currently at home, bumming around / relaxing / recharging so that I can kick it into high gear once I get back to school. Gotta beast on some finals within the next few weeks... But for now, I'm enjoying life at home. Good food, better cable, and sleeeeeep! I lowkey can't wait for winter break, cuz this semester has been a lot. They tell you sophomore year is rough.. and they're really not kidding around. Winter break it'll be me, my bed, my DMV homies, music, and THIS :)
New music & videos when you

Meiple (Me I Play) - Robin Thicke ft. Jay-Z
I love Robin Thicke.
Currently my favorite song:
This radio rip version is annoying... but hit me if you want the full one :)
Also, I wish I had more time to keep up with this! I want to make the time, but I don't know how. I've been seriously slacking. Not good.
