having one's cake and eating it too.

needing to compose a preview of sharon van etten's pitchfork performance. re-visiting her debut effort, 'because i was in love.' i was a fucking tool to volunteer to write about this. at least, considering the timing. truth be told, this woman is amazing. her soulful vocals channel old school heather nova. her folk guitar abilities are genuine. watching her perform is like spying on pure heartbreak. you can't help but be moved by her raw, gutteral sincerity, both musically and emotionally.

the lyrics to consolation prize couldn't ring more true. jesus. well, here's to taking one for the team of professional penmanship and like mya, i'm moving on.

men i want to date : dwayne carter

anybody who knows me knows that my lifelong ambition is to get knocked up by weezy. then, money comes eezy, my baby can have grills, i'll get all the lil wayne albums/mixtapes before they're released, i'd still be free to date/get married to anyone else i want. i don't want a relationship with lil wayne, i'm not a fucktard. just bet he'd be easy to get in bed and then i wouldn't have to worry bout gettin' a job no more.

reasons why i want to date lil wayne:

1. he could rap a milli to me a milli times
2. i could be an honorary member of the cash money crew
3. i could impress him with my rendition of fireman
4. getting impregnated, thus never having to work again
5. he wants little kids to go to school and is a literacy advocate
6. he's served time. (that's hard).
7. whenever my phone would ring i'd have him answer the phone and spit rhymes to confuse people
8. free concert tickets (duh)
9. he's a martian
10. we're the same age, so i'm sure we have a lot in common.
