(I MEANT TO POST THIS FOREVER AGO AND FORGOT ABOUT IT. IT'S A BIT RANDOM)
It tastes like purple flowers, man.
When you're baked and you're doing it just because the piece is clogging and not because you are dry, scraping res is like the most relaxing shit ever.
Goodbye India: Awake My Soul
Love this little video. Love Mumford & Sons.
There are people that you connect with. In certain situations or at particular moments where at the same time you are in sync. Your souls are in time. It's not a big idea. It doesn't mean you're in love or whatever. It just means that at that moment you are connected. Then that moment cycles by and is gone. But it's those moments that are important. The ways that we connect and interact and work together to create the reality around us, that's important. Because that's what life is all about. The experience. Because you can't un-create an idea. A thought wave. And it's not the difference between humanity and nature. It's all nature, and when you realize just how connected it all is and how it's all the same and how it's all important then it's amazing how the worry just kind of fades away amongst the stars.
I sat there and listened to him ramble about skateboard moves and I nodded and "uh-huhhed" over and over and I thought, "This is it." No screeching eagle overhead or long shot of the sunset over the desert horizon. Our lives are seemingly unremarkable. I sat there thinking, "Is this what it is?" This is the dream? Freedom really just means being able to smoke a bowl with your mates in your room and not worry about it being a problem with anyone. Right? Freedom is non-warped vinyls.
I know. It's been a while. I've been mostly just trying to plan moving to Colorado. I'm so ready to just be there. I just want my place that I'm staying and all my shit is already there and like it's first night and I'm sitting there with my bestie rolling a bowl. I'm ready for that.
If I had to I could stay here until the Spring, but honestly I think I would be miserable if I didn't make it in January. I have to make it happen.
So I'm 24 now. I don't feel super different. I do feel older. Like when I think back it seems like I could almost go back to my dorm room at any time and be back in college but really it was over a year and a half ago that I left there. Time has passed that quickly.

Music Challenge
Some news to start the post is that I have recently gotten back on Twitter. I know...societal drone and whatnot. If you'd like some regularly updated sarcasm about life and whatever then give me a follow @TympanicPulse. My name is Mav. I have some illusion about there being a veil between us so that you don't really know who I am. But then again does it matter if you know? Does that ruin some part of the idea or message? Whatever. If you think I'm interesting, then my twitter is the thing for you.
So my best friend, Peak, doesn't think I listen to enough music so he has given me this big long list of songs that I just HAVE to listen to. So I'm going to take you with me and let you ride the music train with me :)
We have a total of 36 songs. Some songs off the original list have been removed because I already knew and loved them. A couple had actually been songs of the day in the past. (for example: Passion Pit's "Sleepy Head" and Black Keys' "Tighten Up".) Don't expect official vids for all of these, but I'll do that as much as possible.
So I don't have them listed in any particular order, but I may do some sort of rating as I go (on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the best). At the end I will list my top three favorites that I like. The #1 pick will be the song of the day.
But I'm going to kick off this music journey with:
1- Whitest Boy Alive "Burning"
The video is interesting. It's kind of 80's throwback, but not as cool. The song is extremely chill. I bet it's great for cruising! Get this song and on the next sunny afternoon go driving down a long road with a cigarette and just jam.
4.2 (I have a feeling almost all of these songs will be above 4 stars.)
2- Pretty Lights "If I Could Feel Again"
I'll be totally honest, I've not really listened to much of any Pretty Lights before. I can tell that this is one of those songs that I'll listen to again. Especially later, when my mind is in a better state ;)
4.3
*scampers off to fetch more coffee*
3- Miley Cyrus "Someone Else"
I've kind of avoided the whole Miley Cyrus everything that has gone on. But for the sake of my bestie, I will listen to her. It's not that I don't respect her talent, I just think shes a child. It's strange to have basically watched her grow up. I think this was a good song for me to start listening to her with though. Because it's really introspective. Her voice kind of sounds a bit auto tuned and sort of garbled like she has a grill in her mouth. The chorus is pretty rockin' though.
4.2
(I might like it more after I hear it several more times on other occasions.)
4- Fall Out Boy "Golden"
It's good. Extremely melodic and lots of harmony. It's nice, but not my favorite style. It's a bit raw as well. I feel really snotty judging this stuff, like I am qualified to make any type of criticism. It was good. I didn't love it.
3.9
5- Florence and the Machine "Dog Days Are Over"
My thing with Florence and the Machine is that I like it, it just usually get's so just cacophonous and I just want to be like, "Ok, that's enough, need a new song." This song is ok, but some of them get that way. She's a belter. She just pushes every note out. That's her style.
4.1
6- Frank Ocean "Thinking About You"
I'll be honest...this song just sort of bores me. The thing about it is that some music wont connect with you unless you are going through something or in a certain point in life. Also, the video is strange...but pretty decent.
3.5
7- Lorde "Bravado"
I love Lorde. I love that song "Royals" (which was removed from the list because of that reason. feel free to go listen to it on it's own. This song has a pretty great beat. And I like the way she does her lyrics.
4.5
8- Panic! At The Disco "This Is Gospel"
It's just interesting how different this list is, compared to what I would give him. The video for this song is pretty cool. I've liked panic though for a while. They are awesome.
4.7
9- Alex Clare "Hummingbird"
I've loved Alex Clare's "Too Close" since it came out. I enjoy his vibe. He is funky and I appreciate that. This song is nice and earthy, but not in too much of a way. Ugh, girls drawing on mirrors in lipstick....This video is a tumblr photo album haha. Look up "hipster on tumblr" on Google, and you'll find this video. haha yea pop those balloons. I like it, not as much as "Too Close", but that song also came at a very pivotal moment in my life where it was pertinent.
4.1
10- Miley Cyrus "Drive"
Miley has this whole throwback early 00's club beat type thing going on haha. I don't know, I just don't really care for her style haha. I think this little fanmade video is pretty nifty though.
4.3
11- Fall Out Boy "The (After) Life of the Party"
Why did she just leave a person who looks just like her outside? I would have had some serious questions about that. Oh I see....is it like a gender identity thing? Because I can get down with that.
4.5
12- Kimbra "Settle Down"
This beat is fun. It reminds me of "Aha" by Imogen Heap. Not quite. I think the young girls in the video are so pretty. They have wonderful freckles. Kimbra is delightfully herself. Kind of bluesy and jazzy and funky and poppy. It's a great mixture.
4.8
13- Lorde "Biting Down"
I thought when Peak named this one to me that he said "fighting" down. Haha, figured it out though when I went to YouTube it. This reminds me of Moby's "Porcelain". Don't ask me why. Probably the repetition.
4.3
14- Panic! At The Disco "Miss Jackson" (feat LOLO)
I think that Panic is a great group. They have a lot of talent. They have their own sound. They're great. The buildup in this song is fabulous. I think they've grown so perfectly as a band. Since "I Write Sins Not Tragedies".
4.8
15- Yacht "Dystopia (The Earth is on Fire)"
So apparently it's a twofer video where the first part is called "Utopia". But it's kind of weird. Like a La Roux knockoff.
3.0
16- Alex Clare "Treading Water"
Sometimes there just isn't anything to say. It's a pretty good song.
4.1
17- The Black Keys "Next Girl"
Nice little backwards sounding thing in the beginning. The clever video makes me want to give it a higher score haha.
4.8
18- Miley Cyrus "Adore You"
This is our halfway point song. how ya doing? Need to get a drink, have a wee? Well go on. The post will still be here. I know, all the little ads are annoying, but get over it. I just think she is boring. Haha.
3.5
19- Fall Out Boy "The Mighty Fall"
I'm pretty sure at some point I told everyone on here to watch all the videos that go with this album "Save Rock & Roll".
4.3
20- Good Shoes "Under Control"
Body builder ladies weird me out a little. I think it's great that they are proud of their bodies and everything and that they are in good shape. But it's just crazy. To be fair, male body builders creep me out too. There is just so much muscle...
4.2
21- Lorde "Glory And Gore"
I think Lorde and Glitch Mob should collaborate. This song reminds me very strongly of Fortune Days by Glitch Mob. I mean not totally, but the way the beat drops in the chorus is very reminiscent.
4.4
22- Panic! At The Disco "She Had The World"
This song reminds me of Christmas. I thought of Tiny Tim and A Christmas Carol.
4.0
23- Alex Clare "I Love You"
I like that this video is made by an outside group. I think it says a lot about what the song is about when you can hear/see how people interpret it. Video is intense.
4.3
24- The Black Keys "Little Black Submarines"
I'm really diggin this song. It's got a good intro, good pick up, good sound. I love their voices. You know I liked it, when I clicked "Like" on YouTube.
5
25- Miley Cyrus "Maybe You're Right"
This is the best Miley song suggested thus far.
4.5
26- Fall Out Boy "Young Volcanoes"
As my dad would say, "It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it."
4.6
27- Kid Kudi "Pursuit of Happiness" (feat MGMT)
I've heard this song before, but it's been a long time. It's still as good as I remembered. Love MGMT. This song used to be on a commercial with skateboarding haha. I remember it.
4.3
28- Lorde "White Teeth Teens"
3.8
29- M83 "Midnight City"
I've heard this song before I just didn't remember. I think I've only heard it maybe once before though, and I never watched the video. Special children.... The chorus part is really good, but the rest is kind of....um I don't know...It just all sounds the same!
3.
30- Panic! At The Disco "Ballad of Mona Lisa"
Steampunk. Classic Panic! They've always been a little bit steampunk. Pretty catchy chorus. They are so (what's the word) almost operatic. Very melodious and big sounding. He looks like a vampire. Cool video.
4.6
31- Zedd "Stay The Night" (feat Hayley Williams)
Peak is so in love with Paramore, I am not surprised he loves this song.
4.2
32- Alex Clare "Damn, Your Eyes"
A fancy Etta James cover. This is the kind of music he just rules. That bluesy sound. That's why I loved "Too Close" so much. It had that same vibe. I'm digging this though. I could slow dance alone in my room to this. Right after "Red House" by Jimi.
4.9
33- Ellie Goulding "Tessellate"
An Alt-J cover. After this list/blog, I am going to have a cig. I have mixed feelings on Ellie Goulding. Sometimes I really like her, but other times her voice annoys me. This song reminds me a little of Crave You by Flight Facilities. Like the beginning part. I don't know why.
4.4
34- Fall Out Boy "Calm Before The Storm"
This is an older song. Fall Out Boy has it's own unique sound. You can always tell it's them. I'm just not as big a fan of this kind of music as much anymore. Not at this point in my life. I'm sure it'll come back around....maybe.
4.0
35- Lorde "Tennis Court"
She likes to sit right in front of the camera during her music videos. She is so pale in this video. She isn't even singing. She's just sitting haha. I don't know. I like them.
4.0
36- Panic! At The Disco "Sarah Smiles"
Peak played this song for me a while ago and I liked it then and I like it now.
4.5
It can be hard to listen to so much new music all at once. I think it maybe even makes you a harsher critic. The other thing that I should probably take notice of is how my musical tastes differ from Peak's.
My top 3 songs:
We had two different songs tie for 3rd, each with scores of 4.8: Kimbra - "Settle Down" and Panic! At The Disco - "Miss Jackson"
Coming in for 2nd place with a score of 4.9 is "Damn Your Eyes" by Alex Clare
And THE WINNER, with a score of 5.0, our new song of the day and first place champion is: "Little Black Submarines" by The Black Keys.
It's been fun. I hope you enjoyed the music. Time for that cig now.
Enigmatically,
Mav

I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going
Sitting in my window with a bowl and a glass of red wine. I feel especially relaxed today. It is my birthday. I am 24 today. Some realities of moving to Colorado are getting increasingly scary the closer they get. It will for sure be an adventure. No, I don't really feel all that different from my 23 year old self, but every year our birthday reminds us of the time we have left and how we have spent our time before. I think it's going to be a good year for me.
I think I am more pensive than I was when I was just turning 23. Perhaps I am feeling still a bit detached from the world. I worry that I will end up being a hermit when I move. That my natural lone tendencies will leave me friendless in my new city. And part of me is okay with that. I kind of just want to be anonymous. I don't feel like I'll be able to keep that up for long though. It's the way of our kind to seek out friendships and companions. COMPANIONS!!! oooo WEEEEE ooooo dooo deee doooooo
I'm just really excited to have my own place and be able to do anything I fucking want. Just me. I think I'm going to love it. Decorate any way I want and burn all the incense I want and be as messy as I want. It's just time for this part of my life. I'm ready for it. I think big things are headed my way. I just feel really good about it.

We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
Royals by Lorde
This song is just super great. I've been jammin out to it a lot these days.
So I'm free. Feels like it's been forever and at the same time not at all. It was interesting sitting in that church (because you graduate in the church across the street) surrounded by all the other graduates. I knew one person and he didn't even sit next to me because we were placed alphabetically. Everyone right around you becomes your instant best friend. You joke together, roll your eyes together, get pissed off at the same stuff. It's just interesting how we connect with each other as humans. We so easily accept people by common experience. It makes me wonder about prejudice now...how even it can exist now. You'd think that being so smart we would've learned a long time ago that peace works so much better for the good of everyone, right? I mean, it's elementary. Such a simple idea when thought of grandly can be unstoppable. I mean how easy would it be if you looked at the options as more black and white like I can either a) get over my differences with this person and live together in a mutually beneficial way or b) decide that the differences between us are only going to be overcome by hatred and warfare in which not only I will probably die but hundreds and thousands of people who wanted nothing to do with the argument in the first place with also die. To me the option is pretty obvious.
I'm thinking of redying my hair purple. Not like a cheesy bright purple but like a deep rich pretty purple. And before I just had the underside of my hair dyed, but this time I'm gonna do my whole head. It's gonna be so great!! If you follow me on instagram (@TympanicPulse) then you will be keeping up with when my hair actually changes and what it looks like.
Also, I'm going to learn to skateboard. I'm saving up now for the board. My life feels endless. I suppose it's the age I'm at. It just feels like my life is so extensive. I will be so many people before it's all over.
On the fucking moon,
Mav

You'd think that being so smart we would've learned a long time ago that peace works so much better for the good of everyone, right? I mean, it's elementary. Such a simple idea when thought of grandly can be unstoppable. I mean how easy would it be if you looked at the options as more black and white like I can either a) get over my differences with this person and live together in a mutually beneficial way or b) decide that the differences between us are only going to be overcome by hatred and warfare in which not only I will probably die but hundreds and thousands of people who wanted nothing to do with the argument in the first place with also die. To me the option is pretty obvious.
I'm thinking of redying my hair purple. Not like a cheesy bright purple but like a deep rich pretty purple. And before I just had the underside of my hair dyed, but this time I'm gonna do my whole head. It's gonna be so great!! If you follow me on instagram (@TympanicPulse) then you will be keeping up with when my hair actually changes and what it looks like.
Also, I'm going to learn to skateboard. I'm saving up now for the board. My life feels endless. I suppose it's the age I'm at. It just feels like my life is so extensive. I will be so many people before it's all over.
On the fucking moon,

*whispers* seven days
So yea...I'm off in one week. I can hardly wait! Feels good. Been on a cloud all day.
Movie of the week has got to be The Ring.
I saw the Ring 2 when it came to theatres, but I just watched The Ring today for the first time and it was phenomenal. I'm not surprised it's so highly acclaimed. I had chills the whole movie. The suspense is perfect, the mystery, the moments of terror. Real terror is in the questions. Movies where you know exactly what is happening aren't as scary. They are kind of predictable. I even watched it in broad daylight and I was still practically falling out of my seat. So watch it.
Is it like against my whole thing to not have a song of the day? Oh well, don't have one. Get counseling if you need to. I know it's hard to accept change.

Two weeks
Not a lot to say. Seriously, I'm just counting down. My mom is coming home today. We are going to the fair tomorrow with the family and celebrating my birthday on Tuesday. My brother says he got me something he can't give me in front of mom, which excites me because it means I'll probably love it haha. Also, I've started putting stuff I've made on Etsy. My shop name is Threshold Art. I only have one thing on there now, but it will grow soon. Living the dream. I also got responded to about an inquiry on a place to live in Colorado! That makes me really excited.
What Would You Do? by City High
This song is a blast from the past. I remember it being big when I was in middle school. Whaaa? I'm old.
Anyway, One Way Or Another by One Direction.
This song is a good cause and there is a lot of crap surrounding them. Honestly, I enjoy them. I'm not throw my panties around in love with them, but I like them. I think it would be interesting to talk to them and see where they wanted to go. I would like to see them start expanding and creating original music. I don't know them, but I bet at least couple of them could do it, but they have all helped write some of the songs already. Grow little caterpillars! Sprout wings and come forth a butterfly!
Shit's getting weird now.
Anxiously,

I play the fool hoping you don't see through me
I'm realizing I need to save a lot more money. I mean, not a lot I guess, because I will find a job, but every little bit will help. My birthday is coming up and my family is asking what I want and honestly I don't want any things. I would rather have the money to move. Though I think my brother is gonna get me a record player which is awesome. They were all confused as to why I was leaving. Everyone expects me to have a job lined up or something. God! It's called living. Taking chances, even if they're kind of crazy. I don't want to skirt through life doing easy things. I want to struggle. I'm not worried about finding a job. I have enough money to last long enough for me to find one. They picked on me about picking Colorado. Saying the only reason I'm going is because of legal weed. Which is not true, but I wouldn't expect them to know. The major difference between them and me is that they are sort of home bodies. And I have to get away. I don't want to live in the same town as my family forever. I want to go somewhere totally new where I don't know anyone and live. It's simply a perk that weed is legal. It's not like being somewhere it's illegal would stop me from smoking it anyway. I'm ready to be done. I'm close.
