I love music...

My pal Matt Taul got me an iTunes card for my birthday. I bought some random songs tonight and thought it would illustrate the vast musical taste I have... Do you like any of these songs? There are soooooooooo many more songs that I would love to purchase but these were the first few I thought of.

1. That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings: My name is Taren...... so there are many instances when I have to correct people from saying, "Karen, Terry, or any other random thing they think I say." So I'm secretly singing this in my head.
2. Party In The U.S.A. - Miley Cyrus: Don't judge me.
3. 99 Red Balloons - Nena: I have always loved this song. I debated between the english version and the german one but decided to go with english for now. I'll probably get the german one later.
4. Brighter Than Sunshine - Aqualung: Such a pretty song.
5. Breathe (2 A.M.) - Anna Nalick: This song comes on my pandora a lot.. I like it.
6. You Found Me - The Fray: I really like The Fray and I don't own their new CD. Sad.
7. 99 Problems - Jay-Z: Classic... one day I will know all of the lyrics! haha
8. Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio: Whatever happened to ole' Coolio? I had this on tape back in the early 90s.. and I loved it. I would switch between this tape and Billy Ray Cyrus. Yeah.. I've always had a wide taste in music. And mullets.
9. Enter Sandman - Metallica: I am very sad to admit that I don't own ANY Metallica.. well. now I do. My brother is a big Metallica fan and I've probably listened to this CD 85679038493 times... but I need to buy a copy.
10. This Ain't A Scene, It's an Arms Race - Fall Out Boy: Ashley Grace has never been prouder of me! This is my first FOB song. I like it. I felt like a poser following Pete Wentz on Twitter and not listening to his music.

There you go... May this inspire you to go on a random song buying spree.

Later!

Stop what you're doing..

Stop whatever it is you're doing right now (unless you're saving someone's life.. and if you are you should probably not multi-task during that)...

I'm going to need you to watch this video. It's from a guy called Matthew Mayfield. He's from Birmingham and he's pretty amazing. http://www.myspace.com/matthewmayfieldmusic if you would like. (You would. Trust me.)

Video:





You're welcome. -Taren

Just like magic..

Updating for the second day in a row. Look at me being all awesome.

I don't really have a specific topic for you so how'z about some blurbs?
  • My digital camera has bit the dust. It was a Canon Power Shot and I've had it for years. About a month or so ago I bought some cheap batteries and it wouldn't stay powered on for longer than a few seconds. I chalked it up to the cheap batteries. I tried again tonight with different batteries and it would show me the pictures I had taken but when I switched to camera mode it just turned off. I've had it for years so I'm sure it is time for a new camera. I wish I had the monies for an awesome digital camera but I think I'm just going to have to get a good cheap camera to get me by for a while. Any suggestions? 
  • Some of you kind readers have never heard of a guy called Caleb Chancey. That makes my heart sad. I just browsed a few months of archives on his photography blog and I was blown away. His stuff is so beautiful. Check him out, http://www.calebchanceyphotography.com/
  • Have you heard of the band, The Civil Wars? I saw them open for a concert and fell in love with their music. You can download a live ep from for free! Check them out, www.thecivilwars.com  I've played "Dance Me To The End of Love" at least 5 times today. I know it's a cover.. but it's amazing.

Blog #One Million and One

Hi interwebs,
                      My name is Taren and I'm a chronic blog creator. I create blogs and post a few times and then forget about them. I have hope that this time it will be different. But it's all about the baby steps, right? Right.

If you are reading this you must rock at life. That's right. I'm here to tell you how AMAZING YOU ARE and if you continue to read this little ole' blog you will only further your own amazingness. I will give you funny stories (to impress the girls), I will give you cooking advice (to impress the fellas) and I will give you photography, poetry (maybe) and random musings as I see fit (to prolong the chores that you're neglecting.. what? I'm honest.).

So.. stick around and see how you like it here. I've got my new "Fireside" candle burning and it smells lovely. Almost like being beside a tiny tiny fire.

k. bye!
