"If You Can Feel What I'm Feeling Then It's A Musical Masterpiece"

Rest in Peace Adam "MCA" Yauch

 I'm not sure why this particular celebrity death is making me as sad as it is...I love the Beastie Boys, that's not in question :)
 I think it's the fact that their music has in some way been a part of my life for a very long time.
 My brother was obsessed with them when License to Ill came out in 1986 so needless to say 8 year old ErinPatricia was introduced to them at an early age.
 I clearly remember being in summer day camp at the YMCA in Plum, sitting in a room with counselors and other campers, making up new lyrics to Paul Revere for some kind of Day Camp Games.
I never got into Paul's Boutique till later in life, but Check Your Head came out as I was entering Highschool and Ill Communication was a constant companion on my drives from my place in new Jersey to my home in Pittsburgh.
  Hello Nasty came along when I was looking for a change, newness, something better in my life, and some of those songs just highlight memories in my head of nights out with my friends. Epic sing-a-longs to Intergalactic, Body Movin' and Three MC's and One DJ...

Fuck you, Cancer,

#Titanic2012

With the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic looming on the horizon there has been a load of television,books,movies about that fateful night making the rounds. I'll fully admit that the Titanic is one of my favorite historical "things". I'll watch almost any show about it on History or NatGeo Channel, I had a brief obsession with the movie (Give me a break, I was like 18 and went to see it with my boyfriend...there's a metaphor for our relationship in there somewhere.) I am thoroughly enjoying the James Cameron special airing on NatGeo right now and am looking forward to the Ballard special airing tomorrow night.
On the lighter side of things (yeah I know it was a tragedy, dont lecture me) the hashtag Titanic2012 was trending on Twitter tonight and I literally laughed myself to tears over a few of these tweets.
It is basically the sinking of the Titanic/Movie! Titanic if it were to happen in our tech savvy always connected world today...

Here's a few of my favorittes, and my 3 contributions:

Posting from my iPod.

Mandatory Update.

I suck at this. Posting, updating, anything-ing here in a timely manner. I just don't have the motivation to do it...to do anything really. I feel like Im stuck in a huge rut and haven't gotten the kick in the ass yet to get out of it. I sleep, wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat. Occasionally I see my Nieces or hang out with friends but its just a rambling repeating series of SSDD. I sleep too much, eat too much, I was drinking way too much but have tried to curtail the excess imbibing. I just feel like Im floating around in a big empty ocean. It's depressing. I need a change, something, anything, I don't know what.
