Who wants good music?

My newest form of finding new music is by watching Reality TV.... More specifically, MTV's The Real World, or Road Rules, believe it or not. I watch the episode, and listen to the music they play in the background, and on MTV.COM, they list the songs played. Recently, I found the artist, BINOCULAR's song, "YOU" and through that I dl'ed a lot of his songs and they are AMAZING. It's like whitey soft alternative, with great lyrics, great guitar, and great everything!! Below are some of the great stuff I'm listening to on my WinAmp!!!
BINOCULAR - You: Deep: Dont Say Goodbye, Say Goodnight: Everything Turns:
RUBYHORSE - Sparkle: Any Day Now:
AM60 - Big As The Sky: Eyes on You: Just a Dream:
RYAN ADAMS - La Cienega Just Smiled:
SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER - Don't Dream It's Over
FROU FROU - Breathe In: It's Good to Be in Love: Maddening Shroud: Must Be Dreaming: Hear Me Out: ....everything of hers is good actually. =)
TONIC: Head on Straight:
MAROON 5: This Love: She Will Be Loved: Harder To Breathe: Sunday Morning:
DISHWALLA: Angels or Devils: Somewhere in the Middle: Every Little Thing:
CHRISTINA AGUILERA: Blessed:

Please do download those if you care, and if you love, like, hate, do tell me!!!!

With many of my friends.. i.e. Deltas and Gammas gone to the slopes of Big Bear.. I have been left in LA to work, watch endless amounts of tv, cook, vege, and work. How I wish i were on the slopes snowboardin like a bunny! With this long weekend, I've been left with plenty of time to rack my brain... something I do when I have spare time, free time, no time.
-A Walk To Remember: yes, a cheesy movie, but such cute moments were apart of that movie. Granted that the first 15 minutes had some shitty editing, Shane West and Mandy Moore i do love.
High points: Popular boy Landon Carter fallin for "granola-y/religious/innocent/bad-fashion sense/butterfly behind the catipillar" Jamie Sullivan
-Good girls with good morals do rule! There's nothing wrong with being a good girl, dammit.
-Faith. Faith in whatever you care to have faith in. Love. The true goodness of people below the hardass crust they like to show the world. Religion. That goodness will win over bad/mean-spirited people. That you'll find someone...for you. Yourself. That you will succeed. Be happy.
-The Movie's soundtrack. it's reallllly damn great. Mandy Moore. Switchfoot. Great songs... find it on Amazon.com, and dl the tracks from the movie.
-That maybe out there, in this SICK world, out side of my "live in the movies" world, where there will be a guy, a man, who does try to make you the best person you can be. A guy who helps you complete and make all your dreams, goals, aspirations come true...and doesn't give up, doesn't cop out, and doesn't sit on his lazy crummy ass playing video games, and doing jack. I.E. how Landon helps Jamie complete the "To-Do List".... 1. Be @ two places @ once, 2. witness a miracle, 3. get a tattoo. etc. etc.

*sidenote* makes me wonder what the hell people's standards are when choosin their significant others. I guess there are 3 levels of the "significant other". I could be wrong, I am no expert, but this is my mind space... and so I explain: Type 1: You're a neede person, not necessarily bad, but you have a need to have someone with you always, of the opposite sex, so you have a gf/bf one after the next. Like J.Lo goin thru P.Diddy, Cris Judd, and now Ben. Maybe you don't have high expectations, standards of what you want in the other. Like you're shopping for shoes, and are only getting them because they're the new style, they're discounted.
Type 2: The type that is looking for Mr./Miss Right NOw.. who might eventually turn into Mr./Miss Right later on, but no guarantees, but you enjoy each other, and go with the flow of it. Type 3: My Type: You take a goood lookin around before you buy. Not just buying shoes cuz they're cool, they're good looking, they're cheap, they're the style. I'm looking for the shoe that lasts, molds to my feet, gives me comfort, the one worth the price i'm paying be it low or high, the pair that stands out to me because I like it, not cuz the world does. Get me?

Anyways, back to Walk To Remember... damn, lost my train of thought, basically, my point is, it was lovely to see a devoted other-half, who changed for the better, with the help of the girl.

Will continue later, Gold Globes Viewing Party @ my friend's place.. adios.
