The original is great, this remix is even greater. It really gives it a happier footed feeling.
This one's for you Kelley.
It's a little too cute for my tastes but I'd be dammed if it didn't make me smile.
It wasn't like I planned on being in the meeting. I have to admit for a good second I was lured in by the tricky sleight of hand and the magical wand of pretties that shone before me. But once I got back to my desk and the drear kicked in again I knew I was locked in a trance.
I almost didn't make it to Marcela's lunch. She was headed back out to Lodi after an epic weekend and I was going to miss her. It was bad enough that my lack of sleeping-in slapped me with the slumber stick and I was off to the hibernation races missing everything last night. I know I need sleep, I'm human, but I hate to blame it on things like that. It sounds lame.
It was already noon. They had already grabbed tables at Pink Taco, I was still at my desk.
Then with this song blasting to keep me somewhat going and motivated, I managed to get up off of my seat, give a mental finger to the rest of the office and left.
Best two hour lunch ever. Fuck the man.
There was this study done that said mass amounts of TV, about 9+ hours a day led to depression amongst kids when they grew up. However it didn't include videogames, movies and radio.
The study itself focused on developing children. This is over a lengthy period of time. Years. But it made me wonder if the effect can be more immediate.
I think so.
I probably watch on average about 4 hours of TV a day. Slap that on top of the already drab job that I have now of letting my eyeballs rot in front of text and spread sheets, we're talking depression city.
My brain doesn't really have to function, if anything to keep me focused and motivated. Otherwise I'm just a monkey pushing buttons. That sense of brain rot and soul destruction is sure to make anyone depressed.
When my underwear radius was at its highest and I was plastered in front of the TV for hours upon hours of the day, I remember having bouts of depression.
To be honest, I don't think I'm depressed at the moment. Just tired all the time. Which may or may not be argued that it is depression, I don't know.
All metas aside though, I think a lot of times all that TV is bad because there's always this story arc and you're always thrown on this emotional rollercoaster. 9+ hours of TV is sure to make anyone confused to the realities of the real world. With your typical tear jerkers and movie script endings and comparing that to your unexciting life (dude 9+ hours of TV? C'mon), hell yeah you're going to be depressed. Especially when you start to compare fantasy worlds with your real life existence. They can't be comparable no matter how realistic the show.
People are sick. They like to remind themselves of the pain they're in. They watch sad movies. They listen to sad songs. They pick at their wounds when they know it hurts when they do so.
Break the cycle.
I guess I need to start playing more videogames.
looks pretty damn fun! read more
