Welcome back my friendlies! Today, I have decided that since I recently attended a couple of parties I would do a quick blurb on how to maximize fun while minimizing stupidity when it comes to Halloween parties.

So, here is my number four song in my 101 Awesome Songs posting sage. I know most people don't like loud rock, or screaming, but I love rib cage shaking guitar solos. Watch out, my emo streak is showing.

Cannibalism is Okay Today...

TMJH Park City Post

NO. I'm NOT talking about eating people. I'm talking about interviewing your fellow journalists for quotes to supplement your articles. Normally, we would not allow cannibalism (we being me and my fellow Editors in Chief down at the TMJH Park City Post (the online magazine I edit for)), but today is make-or-break day. What the journalists can write in the next hour determines if they pass or fail this class for this quarter. I'm hoping that I can have mercy on their souls.

So, if you've read my about page, you would know that my parents are divorced. Basically, this has left me with two families, each with their own distinct flavor.

After that, I joined a Running With Ed team for my English teacher, Ms. Hooker. Before I knew it, I had run two legs of a 40 mile relay, the first being six miles long, the second being seven. At the time, it was the most I had ever run, and I felt totally crazy for doing it with almost no practice.

Here comes the posting train, with songs two and two and a half in the 101 Awesome Songs Posting Saga. I thought I should smash these two songs into the same post because the second song is just a sort of "amped up" version of the first. To quit beating around the bush, let the musical musings begin!

So, to all you music junkies out there, you're going to love this. Today, I begin the epic journey of 101 blog posts, each featuring an awesome song, from the oldies, to the piping hot number ones. This list isn't going to be in any particular order, it's just going to be a profile of the artist and why this particular song of their's qualifies as one of my 101 favorites.

A Cold(play) Day...

When I woke up this morning, I was actually quite optimistic. I was all, “Good Morning Everyone! Today’s the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of here... GASP!”
