Three songs you're probably not listening to

Don’t Stop the Music – this Rihanna cover is sung by Jamie Cullum in more of a jazz style. If you’ve never heard any of Jamie’s (yeah we’re on a first name basis) stuff, you should check out his music. It’s a lot of jazzy stuff with some good standards in there and a few covers of pop songs.



Wrapped Around Your Finger – Beth Rowley is gonna make it big eventually. I can feel it in my bones. She has a raspy, sultry indie voice but isn’t Norah Jones boring. This song was featured in the movie An Education (you gotta see this movie). Feel free to fall in love with it.



The Champ – Ghost Face Killah brings the noise (I almost have enough street cred to pull off saying that). I put this song on my gym, running, and baking mix almost immediately. It’s like Eye of the Tiger meets every Kanye West song. Horns, dope beats, and a guy rapping about how he is better than everyone else.



Thanks for reading. Peace.

LOL

I’m very much a culprit of writing how I speak and think. From brain to fingers. It’s probably the most honest way of writing. I do tell one lie though. A hefty lie. We all do it. I do it. You do it. Dogs do it. I would say that one out of six times I write “haha” I’m not actually laughing. Please don’t be offended if I talk to you via GChat or e-mail. It’s not that I don’t think you’re funny or that your stories about your workday aren’t funny; it’s just that I’m not gonna laugh out loud. I know I sound like a douche but c’mon, we all do it. I know MY jokes aren’t that funny and you’ll probably comment on this post with “haha.”

This is my work face.

If I give you a “haha” I’m probably making this face.

There are variations on laughter from person to person. I’m consistent with my double ha. No more, no less. If it’s a little funnier than normal, you’ll get a third ha, at which point you can smile contently. If it’s a genuine hearty laugh I’ll give you a “ash;dgalbiaheowghag” or as my friend calls it, “sassgalash.” Some people give you “lol,” which is always nice, or a hehe, which sounds cute. I like my haha, though. It’s concise and to the point. “Hey, what you typed is humorous to me.”

Along the same vein, there are a lot of overtypers. These people go above and beyond what they were trying to say.

Me: hey man

Chuck: hey dood

Me: how was the concert?

Chuck: !!!

Me: what does that even mean?

Chuck: it was great!!!!!!!!! Why didn’t you come!?!?

Me: I was at home thinking of a way to kill you

Chuck: ….

Me: haha :P

Nothing grinds my gears in typing more than poor spelling or typing like a 14-year-old. WhY aRe YoU tYpInG lEiK tHiS???!!!

Also, the word definitely will never have an A in it. Never. The last time I misspelled that word I was:

learning English

wearing Starter jackets

learning to use chopsticks
