the greatest song ever

animal collective - my girls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zol2MJf6XNE)

i tried listening to ac some years ago, but didnt really see the appeal. but this song is amazing. which brings me to today's post. every sunday night or so, ill post the top five songs that have been stuck in my head. so this weeks top five are

titus adronicus - titus adronicus
why? - simeons dillema
wolf parade - dear sons and daughter of hungry ghosts
bonnie prince billy/superwolf - lift us up
animal collective - my girls (duh)

more tracks next week. but while im here i may as well mention that the new phoenix album is pretty dope too. its called wolfgang amadeus phoenix and its bomb. that is all

so i decided that it would be a good idea to start writing. for fun. i know, blogs are kinda homo, but lets look at the facts:

1) many important historical figures kept memoirs. if i, by chance, do become an important historical figure (the odds are totally in my favor here), then bam motherfucker, all my shits recorded here!
2) ak.smellzgood.com has been defunct for four years (college really does turn you into a waste of life) and this is its reincarnation (note: i no longer smell good)
3) this will aid my poor memory
4) plenty of awesome things happen to me, and sometimes it be like damn, i wish i could tell the world. now i can
5) dont question my reasons for starting a blog, jerk
6) i meet weird and interesting people at my job every now and again, and i think its my duty to report their unique characteristics

also, this is not an emo blog. although there is a good chance there will be a lot of bitching and moaning. but not like high school bitching and moaning. more like: why cant i be a pirate? or why am i so broke all the goddamn time? or why is my room like ten degrees colder than outside? or why dear god why do the lions suck so goddamn much?

REASONS TO READ THIS BLOG

1) why wouldnt you? you got something better to do? thought so
2) i will post updates from NASAs website
3) i go on pretty awesome adventures with pretty awesome people
4) some of my updates will include tips and tricks on:
a) piracy (not napster, like, actual somalian jacking tankers full of all sorts of valuable shit (like livestock!))
b) how to get blackout
c) how to not recover properly from a blackout
d) how to waste money you dont have (hint: this is closely related to the last two points)
5) 'cause i dont capitalize or use punctuation properly. and thats hip AND cool. you too can be hip and cool simply by reading my blog
6) random interesting facts! like this: DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE 58455 BRICKS IN THE DIAG (were talking u of m ann arbor here). you did not. but now you do. youre welcome

now there is a very good chance i dont talk about anything i just told you i would talk about. but i like lists and i just made two so whatever.

so thats about it. to be honest, this is just something that should occupy my time at work. so for example, i work five hours today, so expect five hours worth of blogging
