If I was stuck on some crazy far away island for god knows how long and I only had the song “Ooh Ahh” by Grits to listen too, I think I would still be a pretty happy camper. Well…as happy as one could be to be stuck on a disserted island. There is just something about that song that makes everything okay. Ever since the first time I heard the song I felt that. There is just something comforting about it that reassures you that everything will end up how it’s supposed to.

 “Ooh Ahh” doesn’t be very popular with people, just in the way of I never hear people talking about it or playing it. But the second I hear it I get this overwhelming feeling that I’m getting a hug from a loved one or being taken under someone’s wing. Hearing ooh ahh in the background during most of the song seems almost haunting it just flows into your mind and raps around your brain never to let go until the song is over and life continues. Time stops. The rhythmic piano that plays over the back beat is another comforting sound that reminds me that things will be good or give me the realization that life is pretty good after all. It’s not a very complicated song but then at the same time I feel like there is so much meaning that I can’t even begin to grasp.

 “It’s time likes these that make me say lord if you see please come my way.” It could be that this song is my religious vice. The way I can come to terms and have things make since when in life they just confuse me. Ooh Ahh is an escape a way for me to take a breather for a good four minutes or so and relax.

This has been my favorite song of all time since the first time I heard it in good ol’ E-town four years ago, and I think it will remain to be just that for years to come. It’s my song, the song I always turn back to through all the phases and experiences that my life entails. So thank you Grits for creating my favorite song of all time.

“Ooh Ahh” – Grits

(For Lyrics)

“Misunderstood”(Don’t get it)- Lil Wayne

Reasons why Wayne is a genius and why “Misunderstood” is such a good song:

It’s relatable 

It goes from song to preach

Al Sharpton

Misunderstandings of races

An alternative message of how to deal

Don’t take sh** from no one

All freestyle (just another perfect example of his genius)

Chillin’ tunes

He sets you up for his preach session

Realism

Strong points

Makes you think about things you might not have before

Intelligent

Talk to one before you lend an opinion

Casper the Friendly Ghost

Uncomplicated beat which makes you pay more attention to what is being said

Turns words around on you before you realize what is going on

     Now that winter break is something of the past I have taken the time to stop and realize that there was lots of discussion of the lovely Miss Spears. Now there has always been talk of her in the media since 1998 when she wanted to be hit by her baby one more time, but not so much among my friends in casual conversation. So there we are sitting at the velvet poker table listening to Circus talking about how proud we are of Britney now that she is getting herself back on track with her new album. Unlike when her last album Black Out hit the shelves and she obtained the appearance of a cracked out momma hooker. But now she has been able to clean up her act and prove to the world that she is taking care of herself and her children. Though we all agreed that in the Womanizer video during the line “You say I’m crazy, I got your crazy” the bitch looks crazy. But besides that small detail she is looking good, healthy and finally over Kevin.

     The conversation went on for a couple more minutes until the next hand was dealt and we continued to sit in concentration. We went on like this for a good four or five hands until we all put our cards down at the same time, looked at each other and realized after the sixth song that we cannot deal with these Britney beats any longer. She is driving us all….crazy! Her baby talk voice and tacky back beat is just to much for us young adults. So, to calm all my friend gets up, takes it out, and puts in Paper Trails so we can all have a detox dance party before we continue on.

     We all learned something that day. Though we are proud and can’t help but like Miss Britney (considering we all grew up in the nineties) none of us can listen to her in her entirety anymore, at least not without having the uncontrollable urge to shave our heads and threaten people with umbrellas.

PEACE!

Mr. Fleetwood Indiana:

My dearest friend I am glad to hear that you are such an advocate for the rights of all people everywhere. The kind of activist who prides themselves on only talk, oppose to action. It’s nice to hear that you want to change the world and that you are so passionate about hating everything that is going on in this political country of ours.

I have always enjoyed our intellectual talks about things like you’re made up statistics about the economy, saying that all of our money goes to give rich bastards vacations and that cops are a harmful part of society. I loved the time when we I was talking to you about things I had learned in my class about consumerism in our capitalist society and you thanked me. For the obvious reason of course, because I wanted to over throw the government. I guess I was wrong to think that consumerism had nothing to do with the actions of overthrowing ones government. That…that was my bad. However, I cannot forget the “think of the time before they do the crime” conversation which related all around abortion. That’s right Mr. Porter it is the woman’s fault if she got pregnant. You know so much. Such and wonderful contribution to our society.

Through all of this talk about peace in the Middle East and hate in the United States and everything else under the sun, I much appreciate the fact that you still have yet to get off your ass and do something about all of it. I mean that. I really do. I think you are the perfect role model to the kids of America. The skater kid without a job who doesn’t find voting a reliable way to show the government what you want out of it. The kid who talks about Ron Paul being a liberal candidate. But yet you stay passionate about changing the world and are lucky enough to be able to sulk about it all so well, it’s quite the skill. Yes. That is the perfect role model. The perfect person to be. The perfect American. So continue, my friend, continue to tell me how marijuana should be legal and what you would do if you became president for a government that you find corrupt. I would love to hear it.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Carly
