This past Tuesday, Jerry and I saw Rousseau and Ed Sheeran open for Snow Patrol.
There were so many teen boppers who came to see Ed Sheeran and they were pretty annoying and rude. I’m glad he’s getting the attention he deserves, but I never thought he would inherit this big teen fan base.
Snow Patrol was amazing, and I am still in awe of them! The lead singer, Gary, is such a great personality and I wish I could relive the concert. It was a good night, considering all the chaos that has been occurring in my life.
I’m totally not ready for finals, but I have no choice but to face these challenges. Here’s to a good end of my senior year!

Spotted this gem as I walked down the stairs of Langsdorf Hall a few days ago:
“When the power of love
overcomes the love of power
only then will the world know
peace
- Jimi Hendrix”
Friedrich Nietzsche
(Don’t know how accurate this quote is, but it’d be awesome if it’s legitimate.)

“M.I.A. Shouldn’t Have Apologized” by Sasha Frere-Jones
Fine, it may not be legal to flip the bird on television, but that’s simply a remnant of the fifties we haven’t shaken. Unless somebody was handing out Xanax with the foam fingers, Lucas Oil Stadium was ringing with the music of profanities last night. More to the point, television viewers were submitted to ad after ad that likened women—negatively—to sofas, cars, and candy. Mr. Winter didn’t have anything to say about that, so I’d like to raise both of my middle fingers to him and anyone who thinks profanity is somehow more harmful to our children than images of violence and misogyny.
Personally, I wasn’t offended by M.I.A. sticking her middle finger out on TV. I don’t think it was that big of a deal, considering that controversy typically follows M.I.A. Also, I think the writer does have a point. Was flipping the bird really worse than the sexist and stereotypical Super Bowl ads?
Extremely grateful for being able to experience Ed Sheeran performing at The Hotel Cafe tonight. It was exactly what I needed and I actually teared up a bit because of how happy I was. Thanks to Elaine and Winny for being there with me.

This is how it works
You’re young until you’re not
You love until you don’t
You try until you can’t
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

they’re never gonna change you
they’re never gonna change me
they’re never gonna change us
we’ll always stay the same
we break down
we lose touch
sometimes
we are
alone

Christmas Carol from SHAMELESS
Christmas comes every freakin’ year
Dumb gifts and empty yule-tide cheer.
kick back, be cool,
‘Cause we’re in this boat together.
Grab a stool, and raise your glass
Let’s try to laugh, this too shall pass,
Hear hear!
Roll out the beer,
Uncork the wine
To Grandmother’s house
For Auld lang syne.
We’ll endure,
Yet one more cremated turkey
While some have fun
Like Muslim dudes,
And Sikhs and Jews,
Who get Chinese food,
And a movie.
Whiskey,
Gin Bourbon Vodka Scotch
We’ll drink most anything you’ve got.
Designate,
Give your keys to someone boring,
Get plotzed, without fear,
But if you drive,
Take Wacker Drive,
There’s fewer cops -
We hear.
Al-co-holism’s not a joke.
Nor are prescription drugs or dope.
If you quit,
We admire your strength and courage,
But let’s be clear,
We’d love your stash,
We’ll pay in cash
And have some fun -
This year.
Why can’t we all just get along.
perhaps if we sing this stupid song.
And give thanks,
For s*** that isn’t broken
Raise a cheer,
For Tina Fey,
Corvette Stingrays,
For Wrigley Field,
And Navy SEALs,
The Rolling Stones,
And mobile phones,
Harley-Davidsons,
And shameless self promotion
And beer.
