Matt White: Falling In Love

It's so good
What we got
You and me
We laugh a lot

We're just friends
Simple as that
I don't want it to end
But I'm falling in love with the best friend I got

[CHORUS]
They say you don't really wanna fall in love
You don't really wanna mess this up
You don't really wanna fall in love
'Cause fallin' in love just breaks your heart (hey, hey!)

If we kiss
If we touch
All of this
Could get rough

Ain't no thing
Ain't no strings
Ain't no "I love you, you love me"
We won't get caught up in the stuff that breaks (oh, no)

[CHORUS]
They say you don't really wanna fall in love
You don't really wanna mess this up
You don't really wanna fall in love
'Cause fallin' in love just breaks your heart (hey, hey!)

[CHORUS]
They say you don't really wanna fall in love
You don't really wanna mess this up
You don't really want to fall in love
'Cause fallin' in love just breaks your heart (hey, hey!)

You don't really wanna fall in love
You don't really wanna mess this up
You don't really wanna fall in love
'Cause fallin' in love just breaks your heart
Fallin' in love just breaks your heart
Fallin' in love just breaks your heart
Fallin' in love just broke my heart

Response to T.A.Z article

The article begins of telling of ancient Pirates who lived in their own made utopia. Away from the rest of the world, mini societies living outside the law. With modern technology nothing of this sort can exist, but with no political control, these private separate government places could exist. The article continues to desrcibes these “Temporary Autonomous Zones” a.k.a. TAZ

“HOW IS IT THAT "the world turned upside-down" always manages to Right itself? Why does reaction always follow revolution, like seasons in Hell?”

The article recommends this type of living to take part in the uprising without leading to the sure aftermath of violence. The reason the author believes this would be successful is because it is unrecognizable even history can’t point to exactly what it is. Because, even with the pirates it has never seemed worth for extensive research.

It continues speaking of the Net and Web, and how this TAZ can be achieved. Their main point being “The TAZ has a temporary but actual location in time and a temporary but actual location in space. But clearly it must also have "location" in the Web, and this location is of a different sort, not actual but virtual, not immediate but instantaneous. The Web not only provides logistical support for the TAZ, it also helps to bring it into being; crudely speaking one might say that the TAZ "exists" in information- space as well as in the "real world."”

Creating these “new worlds” on the web is fascinating and even has some valid argurments behind it. Although I believe it is a very “Science-fiction” idea, it is one to be analyzed. This article goes hand in hand with our cyberspace project because the article speaks, in simple explanation, of a world being created that has no tie to anything previously done in history. A world built on the individuals idea of true freedom.

Sea Breeze: Tyrone Wells

Did I really need her
Was it just a sweet dream
Lingers in the morning
Like a melody
Over and over all through the day
I can't stop thinking about how I'm feeling this way
Chorus:
She moves like sea breeze, swirling around me
The fragrance that she leaves hangs in the air
Soft like a whisper, she's calling me to her
These eyes have seen the most beautiful dream
We found each other, staring at the waves
Started talkin' couldn't break away
And made plans to meet tonight
Down by the pier, when midnight strikes I'm going to hold that dream near
(Chorus)
Tomorrow, surprise o'er
She took my heart with one look in her eye
To a place that feels like home
(Chorus 2x)
These eyes have seem the most beautiful dream
Oh, oh

Damien Rice: 9 crimes

Leave me out withthe waste
This is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright, yeah, with you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?

No...

The beginning of the music search....

Because of my love for all types of music I find myself constantly listening for new popular culture songs but also I love discovering new unknown artists. For this project I have decided to find a minimum of 3 new songs a week, previously that I have never heard. Of course that I find appealing to listen to. I will find these by hearing what others are listening to, searching for similar artist from ones I already know I like etc. I will then post the lyrics to the most recent song discovery.

So tonight I found, while listening to my roommates new satellite radio:
Daphne Willis. Love and Hate.
Well I put my foot down, 
And finally hit ground,
That didn’t give beneath the weight,

I put my shirt on,
The curtains drawn,
Wonderin’ how long this would take.

Cuz it’s not as simple as love and hate,
Now I’ve wasted so much not knowin’ that and I’m runnin’ late.

Well I drive my car fast,
Just tryin’ to get past, This traffic, but it ain’t no use,

Now all these lights flash,
Red, give it less gas, But my break pedal’s loose,

Well sometimes I miss you, Sometimes I don’t,
And sometimes I’ll admit that, And sometimes I won’t.

Now isn’t it strange, to find, That end point in your mind?
And all of this change, defined, The way I got to leaving you behind.

Love is so blind, For me, a different kind, Of not being able to see,
What have you done here? What have you done dear? No more what you’re doin’ to me.

Cuz it’s not as simple as love and hate,
Now I’ve wasted so much not knowin’ that and I’m running late,
Yeah, I’ve wasted so much time and I’m running late.


Ice Breaker Questions

1. What is your computer experience:
I took a beginning graphics class in HS. We mostly used illustrator. I also was in Digital photography where we used Photoshop as well. I plan to be a photography major so I've used photoshop and lightroom for my personal use.

2. How do you feel about technology in the arts?
I feel as if technology in the art plays a very important role. It can enhance what we previously had to make it something unimaginable. With that said I do also believe it can overly be used to somewhat twist what art truly is.

3. What is your favorite movie?
I don't have one favorite movie, but one of my favorites since I was little is Newsies.

4. What is your favorite book?
Well I love to read....so i have way to many favorite books to count.

5. Write a 5 line story about yourself.

RANDDOOOM:
I live in Lancaster county and most of my family (aunts and uncles) use to be amish...including my parents. My aunt is Auntie Anne who created Auntie Anne's pretzels. In HS my life was revolved around sports. I took a year off after HS and lived in India for three months. And now I'm here :)
