LOL so that title is not quite rants and raves so I think I might stick with R & R. The inspiration for this title is mainly because of two things. My Xbox 360 and Fileden screwing with me. It's a non brainer which one is awesome and which is not so awesome eh?
My Xbox 360 is everything I ever wanted in a game system. It plays my current favorite game (Tekken 6), it is backwards compatiable so I can play my old favorites like Ninja Gaiden Black and Brute Force. I can go online with it thanks to my brother in law Larry and play Tekken online (not so awesome tho) and download games and demos (awesome). It is packed with cool demos and games and a massive hard-drive. On top of that, I can save music to my hard-drive and actually listen to that instead of the game music which is too pimp. I am so happy I finally caught with this generation of gamers and it's all thanks to my awesome American family. I LOVE y'all.
The not so awesome is Fileden. Much like how MyFlashFetish was cool for a minute and then started realitating (a.k.a acting stupid and not making sense) it looks like Fileden the storage place for my mp3's which work in conjunction with my mp3 music player on this very site is heading the same route. Why do people need to mess with a good thing for? Because of this major realitation I now can not make my year end player I was planning. Thanks... Merry Christmas indeed.
Well this will probably be my last blog for this year, this, my first real year of blogging and it was cool. I will keep it up in the new year and keep y'all posted and interested in my rants and raves.

p.S Can't believe we are coming to an end of another decade, wow.

I like Lists
It is ironic that my two blog posts for this year are both related to my music player but hey, that's the way the wind blows I guess.
I actually created this list a couple weeks ago but only now I have got around to putting it down. It is not that I am super busy, it is just I don't blog as much as I used to. Hopefully I will find more reasons to blog in 2010.
Anyhow, back to the title. I like making lists. It goes all the way back to my childhood. I am not the most organized person so it puzzles me that I like making lists but that is something I find myself doing a lot. Now immediately after I completed my song list for this month. I thought about the one constant thing in my blog. The one constant was, every month, no matter the month, I would do a blog dedicated to explaining why I choose certain songs for my music player. I then decided to do my top 5 songs from these 36 different songs I have picked over the course of 2009.
Without further ado and in no specific order.
My Top 5 blog songs!
*Run by Leona Lewis. Big fan of Leona, massive fan of this song even through it never came out as a single in US and not I am not even a fan of the original. Leona just put her own spin on it and in my opinion, killed it. This song is also forever associated to me with my short story 'Run' as well, even through they explore different themes.
*After the Hurricane by Jazmine Sullivan. Another new favorite female artist of mine. I love the raw imagery in this song. Once again, not a single through it was used in a tv show I watched but I was a big fan before it was.
*Viva La Vida by Coldplay. I always liked Coldplay but I never consider myself a big fan. This song made me a fan and now I am actually enjoying their music a lot more. The song and video go hand in hand so well.
*Don't Trust Me by 3OH3!. Very random among these other songs but my music player was never predictable. I actually enjoy this strange song and lol ain't afraid to admit it. Truly a guilty pleasure.
*I Like it Rough by Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga had a great year in music, becoming the new 'It' girl and everything. 'The Fame' was one of the few albums I listened to this year that I enjoyed from beginning to finish. This song is hands down one of my favorites off an album of favorites.
Well that's the list. I think I might celebrate this list by turning it into my player on my other blog (apocryphicvideos.blogspot.com).
Have a Merry Christmas all

My Sweetest Downfall
It took a minute but the soundtrack for December is now up. It took me a minute to find some songs I really wanted to share with everyone but I am happy with the three I picked.
I am actually going to do them in the order which I picked the songs. Just something different this month.
The first song I knew for sure I would want on my player was 'Did It Again' by Shakira. It really is a non-brainer. I mean, I like Shakira and the song is produced by Pharrell of the Neptunes. That to me is like a guaranteed shoe-in. One of the things I really dig about the song is the very well choreographed video. The scene of Shakira play fighting with her partner (a known b-boy) works well and as we all know Shakira is my first choice to play Zafina and this video (and others) proves she can do all those crazy moves Zafina does so well.
'Flowers' by Crystal Kay was my second choice. I always loved this song by her and I feel even through I can't understand what she is saying I can feel the emotion in this song. Ironically, my wife recently got Crystal Kay's Greatest Hits on a 2 disc set but this song wasn't on it but to me it is one of her best songs.
The final choice is 'Samson' by Regina Spektor. I actually knew of this song for a pretty long time, dating back to when I lived in Australia (which feels like a lifetime ago). However I recently got Regina's cd from Lane (note to self, write that blog about Lane before end of year) and re-discovered how much I like this song. It's funny I now actually have long hair and of course Samson is in reference to the Bible story about Samson and his hair, I however liked this song when I didn't have long hair through, lol. Oh and yes, the title of this blog is inspired by 'Samson' as well.
Well that's it.
Enjoy!
