My Top 5 Songs

Late this month with an entry. YAY for Alice in Chains.  This is probably the last song from the album "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" that will chart.  Creepy song, in a way.  I must say that I do not mind DuVall - in fact, I like Alice in Chains only slightly less than I did with the immortal Layne Staley.  If you read the comments at youtube, you might hear some people so steadfast in how this is a corrupted version of Alice in Chains or something.  That is ridiculous.  Sure, you can't replace Layne Staley....or can you? For those of us that were moved or comforted or BROUGHT TO A FRENZY!!! by their music with Layne, well OK, those songs mean a lot. That sound - those evil vocal harmonies, Jerry's excellent guitar playing, either in blistering songs like "Them Bones" or intoxicatingly beautiful ones like "Rotten Apple"....it all was amazing, amazing, amazing. But they don't suck, exactly, not by a longshot.  Their most recent album has g...

Very, very late this month.  I just got tied up with this graduate class I'm taking that is driving me nuts. 3/4 of the way through, and I am so confused. I am not a person that blames everyone else for my problems...but really, this teacher is so bad. THAT is the problem. I am consumed each week trying to get homework done, but I'm clueless as how to even start it!  So it's not like I can see the instructor at his office - what would I ask? I'm just so lost and figuring everything out on my own time - that's like doubling the time in class. *SIGH* But I perservere. In a week or two, I will do April's Top 5, and make some comments on my stupid life and my lovely songs.  Here is this month's very late Top 5: MARCH 2013 1.  "Underground", by Jane's Addiction 3, 1, 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VALinUhZkKQ 2.  Sleeping Giant", by Blondie 2, 2, 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdhCUzFQ4Hs 3. "Diamonds", by Rihanna ...

Late again, this month...the Top 5 should be posted within the first weekend of the month. September flies by, and many changes have taken place for me this year. Different siutations, and in some cases, the same old situations because I have habits or a way of living that will never change, I guess. My sadness comes and goes. I have a feeling of despair as I returned to school where I did my undergrad - a place I loathed and for which I have few fond feelings. I had thought that this time, I can MAKE it great, be PROACTIVE in enjoying my time there as I try to better myself and my life situation with advanced education. I'm not hopeless that that will happen. What I am scared of, as always, is MYSELF. I am my own worst enemy, with my laziness, procrastination, pessimism, and lack of motivation. I hate me sometimes. This month's Top 5 is rather strange. Compared to past years, it is very much NOT a dark selection (what with Godsmack, Disturbed, Linkin Park, etc.). Interesting....
