did i just make that worst decision of my entire life?

of guilty-pleasure summer songs, but youtube disabled the embed codes on the most of the videos i wanted.
and so, i just will put random videos.


i WISH i rocked as hard as this little girl! instead, i just sing along to this song in my car.


colin may be married, but this man - my first love - is still single. what's ten years. i ask?


in high school, i thought this man was so effing hot. i mean, look at him! that suit! the emo eyes!
but then their second album came out and he went all dirty cowboy on me. yech.


*puts up lighter and headbangs*
loved it in high school, love it at age 20 and 3/4.

woot with the randomness!
