Mix Tape — September 30, 2008

Mix Tape

When I was young,  I had the biggest secret crush with a boy.  This kind of crush caused me to record songs from the radio and I created a mix tape for him.   It was so much better than writing a note.  It would convey my feelings.  The mix tape will profess my undying love.  This was my compilation:

Side A:

1:  Call Me by Blondie

2:  Secret Lovers by Atlantic Starr

3:  Crazy for you by Madonna

4:  I wanna be your boyfriend by The Ramones

5:  Lost in love by New Edition

6:  All Through The Night by Cindy Lauper

7:  We Belong by Pat Benatar

8:  Venus by Bananarama

9:  French Kissin’ in the USA by Deborah Harry

10:  St. Elmo’s fire theme song

Side B:

1:  Shattered Dreams by Johnnie Hates Jazz

2:  Owner of a lonely heart by Yes

3:  Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler

4:  I’ll get over you by Toto

5:  Don’t You Want Me by Human League

6:  Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Culture Club

7:  How Soon Is Now by The Smiths

8:  Love Is A Battlefield by Pat Benatar

9:  Blue Monday by New Order

10:  Separate Lives by Phil Collins

These songs we’re carefully hand picked and tailored with a purpose.  Side A’s theme  my feeling and Side B’s message comprised of rejection.  I have better taste in music now and I never gave my mix tape to my crush.  I recently discovered my mix tape and no doubt revived a memory of how nerdy I was once and I like that part of me.  I know this was a piece of object that we all once made or received at one point in our youthful days.

 

 

Protons, Go! — September 10, 2008

Protons, Go!

Duh, where have I been?  As I busy myself watching the ‘new 90210’ (which goes to show you that my brain borders on crazy) a much bigger more important news is taking place and I have Google to thank for raising my awareness.  The Big Bang Machine, The Proton Particle Accelerator, Large Hadron Collider, the flux capacitor. (ahhh wait that was already taken)   Apparently this event is so significant that an underground pajama party took place in Geneva and take note it has been 13 years to this day of the last known pajama party held by Madonna in 1995.

So what is this machine?  I won’t even attempt to explain that’s why we have geniuses called scientist for that, but it sounds cool.  I wish these guys and gals best of luck in their endeavors.

(but still I wonder…if they got thier idea from Dharma Initiative Project in ABC’s Lost.)
