Do you ever have one of those songs that, no matter how many times you hear it, you never get sick of it? I don’t mean those songs that you like, and then you love, and then the radio beats you over the head with it, and you start switching the station every time it comes on.

No, I mean a song that you literally crank the volume up every time you hear it. My current one is “Rebirthing” by Skillet.

“I lie here paralytic
Inside this soul
Screaming for you till my throat is numb
I wanna break out I need a way out
I don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this womb I’m suffocating

Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take you in
I’ve died

[Chorus:]

Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now
I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I wanna live my life wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now
I come alive somehow”

Sadly, Skillet did again what they do every time; there’s one killer song on the album that’s loud, heavy, driving, and powerful… and the rest are much more mellow. And I just don’t listen to that much mellow music (if I am, it’s pretty much guaranteed what kind of mood I’m in).

(Side note: I fixed the general wireless issue I was having It no longer drops out randomly on all of my wireless devices. However, Apple still has not fixed the problem with Macbooks dropping the wireless connection when they’re on battery, like mine is now. I’d even be happy to find a work-around. No such luck. And yes, this means it just dropped out on me.)

So yeah… it’s again been over a month since I posted. Not a whole lot has happened since I posted last. I went home for about 12 days for Christmas, which was awesome. It was great to see my family and catch up with some of my friends that are in Michigan. It was too short, and I didn’t get to see everyone or spend as much time with everyone as I would have liked. So basically, it’s all of your turn to visit me. C’mon out, the weather is gorgeous (well… at least it’s better…)

My mom informed me last night that we have a new addition to the family: a puppy! I have to admit, I’m jealous, but it just wouldn’t work for me to have a puppy right now. I could swing a cat, or a house-broken dog, but my apartment doesn’t allow big dogs (I’m not a small dog person), and I’m really not home enough to give a pet the attention it deserves. Oh well, some day. Anyway, here are some pictures of the adorable little fuzz-ball. Her name is Mía, and she’s a Golden Retriever.

Isn’t she cute?

So like I said, not much has been going on. I’ve been watching Lost with some friends on a fairly regular basis (we started with the Season 1 DVDs), and we just finished up Season 2 last night. AGHHHHH that show is aggravating. I really can’t even describe it. If you’ve gotten into it, you know what I mean. I did hear that the writers/producers/etc recently had a discussion about when they’re going to end it. One of the comments made was something to the effect of “We had a great example of what not to do with the X-Files. It was a great show that went two seasons longer than it should have.” Now, I didn’t really follow the X-Files, but it certainly wouldn’t have been the first show that the studio tried to milk for all it was worth (and devalued in the process). I’m actually glad to hear that this is something the producers/etc are conscious of with Lost; it’s such a great, intense, intricate show that to have it wither away would be a complete waste.

Anyway, I’m out for now, maybe I’ll try and get back on a more regular post schedule…

Maybe.
