Kind of unimpressive...

Quick hits-

Avril's top friends on myspace are as follows...
-Sum 41
-Butch Walker
-Boys Like Girls
-Jonas Brothers

The spell checker on blogspot is beyond crippled. It's awesful.

How tall is Katy Perry? She's wearing some sequiny thing on fuse which makes her look like her legs are at least 5 feet. It's absurd.

How old is Faith Hill? You know what never mind I'd still hit that.

I'm kind of angry at myself for using the term "hit that," but what's done is done.

So Andrew WK is giving motivational speeches now. I'm pretty sure that's awesome.

I just deleted over 500 of my myspace friends as a way to kill time while listening to new Driving In Silence. Which is good, but not nearly as good as I'd hoped it would be. Ok, after listening for like an hour now, these songs are growing on me. It's mainly the vocals, probably some of my favorite vocals right now.

Is Pink making out with Brigette Neilson(the chick who might have dated Flava Flav) in her new video. It's probably not but in my head it is and now I want to unwatch this. Damn you Pink.

A few odd things from tv tonight, one I think Topenga(Danielle Fishelle I think) from Boy Meets World is a VJ on fuse. Not sure. Secondly, I'm slightly amused and almost irritated by JD's facial hair on scrubs. Too well timed with Nate's if you ask me. And finally, why do I feel like a pedophile every time I watch the video for some teen pop singer(mainly Miley Cyrus)? Jail bait is ruining this country and my ability to enjoy bad pop songs guilt free.

I've decided I'm going to start posting song lyrics again in my blog...

"I'm working on my faults and cracks
filling in the blanks and gaps
and when i write them out they don't make sense
i need you to pencil in the rest"

-Frightened Rabbit




The following thought doesn't really concern half of my readers(I mean you Nate), but do you ever feel like you know too much about something? Like people ask you a question and you give them way more information than they were expecting just because you know so much? It's happened a few times recently, mainly at work but still, at the end I'm always like...you didn't really care to know that much did you?

I don't know if this is a jab at Victory Records, but the sticker on the Matches cd is awesome..."For fans of: orphan gloves, shark week, and badly faked foreign accents"

Kruze Family Christmas Recap-
Sweet Loots
Family came over
People who shall not be named showed up
Other's who shall not be named didn't show up
Everyone left

Have I talked about not always right yet? Because it's my new favorite website on the entire internets. Pure awesome.

My favorite of the moment.
Never mind I lied, new favorite.


So it's goal to get some new nicknames, here's what I've(we've) come up with so far...
-Danimal
-Dansplosion
-DANces with Wolves
-Tiny DANcer
-DANcing Queen
-Danasaur
-Danado
-DANity Kane
-Kruze Control

Admittedly they need work. I thought of another like an hour ago, but can't remember now. And I'm pretty sure it was a good one...lame.

So New Year's is upon us(depending when this gets posted), and here are my resolutions as follows...
-Drink less, like a lot less
-Stop using the handicap stall because it's roomy
-Stand to the side of escalators, the Japanese do it and they're nice
-Come up with my own resolutions instead of using Butch Walker's from a few years back.

Is it bad that I feel sorry for Microsoft because of this whole zune fiasco? I know microsoft is this huge evil corporation but I feel like the Zune never really got the chance it deserved because the iPod is so huge. I'm sure part of it is my dislike of Apple, but still I feel bad.

While looking over my year end finances I realized that while I made more money this year than last year, I'm still slightly disappointed by how much I made. But I guess when you don't have a college degree and aren't working full-time hours that's to be expected.

Having recently watched Air Force One again, I've come to the conclusion that the vote held by imdb about which movie president would you vote is completely irrelevant. If you go back and rewatch the movie you'll see that Harrison Ford's character has a very similar foreign policy to George W. Bush. Now think of how popular Bush's policies are and tell me that the people who voted in that poll made an informed decision.

"Share your spoken wealth
Share your body’s health
I need it more than I need myself
I know you’ll leave with the king’s reprieve
I guess that’s just fine by me"

-Cassino




The following video is further proof that moneen is one of the greatest live bands I've ever seen.






Time for some music talk...

-So I'm trying to get into this band Moving Mountains. And I'm really liking them but I know there's a lot going on here that isn't really needed. They've got lenghty intro's and outro's, their songs are 7-10 minutes long and there's a lot filler there. But it's still real good. I don't know who to compare them to but it's probably equal parts Exsplosions in the Sky and Brand New, I guess. Maybe a little Thrice thrown in? If you've got the time and patience I do recommend checking them out.

-The Damnwells will be playing NYC on April 4 and the Mercury Lounge or Ballroom or something. It's a Saturday.

-So Lady GaGa...her other songs are...kind of lame. And nothing like Just Dance or even Poker Face which is slowly growing on me.

-Fun facts...
If you wanted Incubus to play at your college or what have you, it will set you back at least $150,000. Wilco comes in at a fraction of that at $50,000. Thursday $25,000. Daniel Tosh $17,500. Hold Steady $12-15,000. Electric Six $7,500. Rich Vos $5,000. Nate Mumford, a jug of wine.

So I've had more time to think about this whole resolution thing, and I've realized I don't really have the will power(or self discipline if you'd like) to make real changes, anyways, on with the well placed quote...

‘you have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.’
