Plugging: I would plug the guy that wrote what I’m about to talk about, but I don’t like him, so I’m not going to.
Hmm… so I just read a post about Obama saying, “This is my second visit to Yad Vashem…I am always taken back to, sort of, the core question of humanity that the Holocaust raises. And that is, on the one hand man’s great capacity for evil but on the other hand the capacity to join together and stop evil if we are willing to speak out in one voice.” The author said that this quote was in poor taste… I just have one question… How? Looking back on it he may want to change his wording or add something, but what he said overall is not bad. Yes he was simplifying the Holocaust, but he wasn’t there to give a huge speech on the Holocaust. And then apparently Obama is the devil for saying this. How many dumb things has Bush said?! Pretty much every word that comes out of his mouth is the wrong one.
Bleh. Politics. Okay, I’m done with that. So, speaking of the Holocaust, I am taking my class on it now. It’s really good, except it’s tough to read some of the stuff, like the Jedwabne massacre. I don’t really want to go into because of how graphic it is. But, yeah. I really like learning the details of this stuff. My roommates boyfriend was asking what exactly I’m learning in this class since everyone knows about the Holocaust, but what you learn about it is so superficial. I really like learning the details of what happened. I had no idea about the Hitler-Stalin Nonaggression Pact until I took this class.
So otherwise I’ve just been working a lot. Frank finally came back after going home for a week. Then he had to go to Phoenix today and ditched me for the whole day. We were supposed to go see Batman tonight – his idea – especially since we stayed up til 1 last night watching the first one, even though he had to get up before 6 this morning. That annoyed me. I don’t even think he’s left Phoenix yet, and I don’t think he will at this point in the night. I hate when people break plans.
I’ve been watching a lot of Weeds again – I was watching Gilmore Girls again for a while. I can’t wait to catch up, but it’s going to suck to have to actually wait a week or more to see the next episode haha.
Alright, I must finish my reading for the night, but I needed to write a little and vent a little.
Oh, and I hate hate hate bills.
καληνύχτα – aka Goodnite!

So I was thinking about my gym playlist on my ipod. It’s a very silly mix and some of it isn’t very gym-like. And some of it, is good for now, but I’ll get sick of it soon.
- Here it Goes Again – Ok Go – fun and upbeat plus they’re on treadmills in their video
- Buttons ft. Snoop Dogg – Pussycat Dolls – upbeat again plus I love Snoop
- Gold Digger – Kanye West – good beat
- All Falls Down ft. Syleena – Kanye West – good beat and I love Syleena’s vocals
- I Believe in a Thing Called Love – The Darkness – such a fun song!
- Love Stoned – Justin Timberlake – just a good beat, I guess
- Elevator – Flo-Rida – Good beat, plus they mention Arizona… haha
- My Goodies – Ciara – I love the rap in this song.
- Girl Anachronism – The Dresden Dolls – SO much fun!
- Kiss Kiss ft. T-Pain – Chris Brown – I just like this song a lot.
- Love Song – Sara Bareilles – Good song, she’s got a beautiful voice, plus I love how passionate the song is.
- No Air ft. Chris Brown – Jordin Sparks – Again, beautiful voices and it’s passionate
- More Than A Feeling – Boston – Classic. I love blasting this one and singing at the top of my lungs (not at the gym of course – at the gym I just go faster)
- Low ft. T-Pain – Flo-Rida – just fun
- Me & You – Cassie – For some reason I really like this song. I think it’s her voice
- We Got the Beat – GoGos – I do have the beat.
- Hurt So Good – John Melloncamp – Perfect gym song – I love being sore – it hurts sooo good
- Work It – Missy Elliot – I love Missy Elliot. She’s so silly. Her songs put me in a good mood and I just wanna giggle
- Jane Says – Janes Addiction – This seems like a weird song for the list, but obviously my taste in music is weird period. It’s passionate.
- Jig Wit’ It – Street Runnaz Click – Another silly one that gets me going
- Makes Me Wonder – Maroon 5 – Fun and fast
- Sensual Seduction – Snoop Dogg – Silly, and, again, I love Snoop
- Take On Me – A-ha – Gotta love 80s music. I should have more on my gym playlist. This song makes me wanna move
- Rock Lobster – B-52s – Such a silly song. Again it makes me wanna move
- Miss New Booty – Bubba Sparxxx – I like this song, but I’ve had it on my list for a while. It could probably go soon
- Gonna Make You Sweat k- C + C Music Company – Another perfect work out song
- Ridin DIrty ft. Krayzie Bone – Chamillionaire – This one could also go soon. It’s been on the list a long time
- Zoot Suit Riot – Cherry Poppin Daddies – Gotta love swing music
- Dip It Low – Christina Milian – This one could go soon. Good beat though
- One Two Step ft. Missy Elliot – Ciara – More Missy
- Whip It – Devo – Whip myself into shape
- September – Earth Wind and Fire – Fun song. I love harmony
- The Sweet Escape ft. Akon – Gwen Stefani – This one could go soon, but I like Gwen
- Wind it Up – Gwen Stefani – Reminds me that people stare when you look and move good haha
- Beating Hearts Baby – Head Automatica – good beat and fun
- Intuition – Jewel – I love Jewel, and obviously most of her music wouldn’t work for a gym playlist, so this is what I used
- Good Life ft. T-Pain – Kanye West – Good song, but it’s been on the list awile. Gotta let other Kanye songs take over the top of the list.
- Roll Out – Ludacris – I’ve always loved this song. It’s so fast and silly
- Girlfriend ft. Nelly – N’sync – Only N’sync song I like, and maybe that’s cause Nelly is in it good beat
- Rollercoaster of Love – Red Hot Chili Peppers – Gotta love it.
So there’s my list. Any recommendations are welcome. My music taste is obviously eclectic. I like making new lists occasionally because sometimes the list gets a little stale at the gym, like I said with some of the songs lower on the list.
I think I need to go to sleep now, I’ve got a lot to do this week since it’s the last week of class for the first summer session.
And yay for 6 days to the gym in the last week! GO ME!
