Insomnia finally pays off...

These videos are both awesome, for entirely different reasons. First up? Lil Wayne's "Knockout," featuring everyone's favorite, Nicki Minaj:


And, without further adieu, Enrique Iglesias's "I Like It," featuring Pit Bull and the cast of Jersey Shore. Unbelievable.


Alright, time for bed!

Music Monday

Until a few days ago, I had never heard of the Silversun Pickups, but now it seems like they're everywhere, including the WFNX Clam Bake that I opted out of in favor of a lake weekend with the girls. According to a guy I know who went, they were "amazing." After some rooting around on these here internets, I've decided that the following is my favorite song of theirs:


Next we, predictably, have "Billionaire" from Travie McCoy, in which he takes shots at ex-girlfriend, Katy Perry, in the line "it's been a few months since I've been single, so you can call be 'Travie Claus' minus the hoho." Brilliant.


And, just because it's summer:


Alright, I'm off to see "Grown Ups" with Ali and the boys!

Christine explains it all.

Helloooooo friends!

So, I was just sitting on my balcony, perusing my normal blogroll and enjoying the delicious heat when I came across the following post on "Hyperbole and a Half":

This is Why I'll Never be an Adult

In case you don't feel like reading the entire post, or laughing at the incredible illustrations accompanying it, the basic point is this: Life is full of responsibilities, and when too many of them stack up, people our age tend to shut down and procrastinate instead of tackling the tough stuff. This is exactly what I've been doing for years, and it's the worst habit I have. I've been working hard to change this, and become better at handling life in general, but I sometimes struggle when there are too many moving pieces involved.

For example, I began this blog in December 2008, when I was extremely single and genuinely loving it. Over the past year and a half, I've evolved from a young twenty-something who loved getting wild and making poor choices, to a slightly wiser 24-year old, who still loves to party, but is ready to end wild nights with one good, solid guy.

Since its inception, this blog has detailed the majority of my successes and failures, mainly in the romance department. While this isn't a problem when I want to rant about a particularly awkward encounter, or gloat about an awesome date, it becomes significantly more complicated when I begin to see potential in someone.

Should I gush about how great they are, only to be embarrassed if things go awry? Should I go back and edit my older posts so that the boys I date don't have to read about my old man friends when I eventually show them the blog? Am I willing to give up the cathartic release I feel when I write in order to make an attempt at a blog-free relationship? How important is this blog to who I am, at the core, and how early should it be revealed? Is it a breach of trust to blog about someone I date without telling them?

These are the questions that have stopped me from posting about the random Coast Guard boy I made out with a few weeks ago, or the Irish boy that I dated at the beginning of June, or any of the new guys that I see potential in right now. This isn't to say that this blog is all about boys and potential relationships, because my day-to-day life is focused on everything but (landing a job, getting in shape, enjoying the weather), but it seems like the majority of my stories revolve around the hot mess that is my life, and I honestly don't know how appealing that makes me to someone who's interested in dating me, and therefore taking me seriously.

See, life is complicated! Alright, it's time for me to sign off and tackle some tough stuff so I can get back to blogging later....

Until then, as always,

XOXO - Christine

Genius.

Dear god I hope this is eventually made into a full length movie...

LET'S GO CELTICS! BEAT LA!!

Apologies for going dark the past two weeks. Quick life updates: I went on four first dates the week before last. Felt very blah about three of the guys, have continued seeing the fourth, who is pretty awesome and from Ireland. Am still match.comming and will let you know how that goes. Have also been going to Sox games (3 in the past two weeks!), and saw "Get Him to The Greek," which was fucking hilarious.

Now, please enjoy this incredible Game 7 pump-up video:



More to come tomorrow/Saturday, once I recover from the madness that will be the Game 7 shitshow tonight! Bring it Lakers.

XOXO - Christine

Summertime = Awesome!

So.....I won't be posting any life updates today because my best married man friend, Odd Job, just called and invited me to this afternoon's Sox game! I haven't seen him in forever, so I'm pretty pumped, especially considering how ready he looks for some awesome Sox action:

Love it. Will tweet some photos from the game, but until then, and until tomorrow, kisses for all of you and get out there and enjoy the beautiful weather!!

XOXO - Christine

Good news for you...!

Jim and I just spoke, and things between us are officially dunzo, which means that I can now post all of the shit I didn't during our break for fear of making the break up permanent. Now that it is....I can let you all in on a few very juicy stories!

Right now I have to shower up and head to Erin's bday dins, but come tomorrow afternoon, get excited for some epic posting about my love/sex/booze? life!!

Until then, here's a video of Conan O'Brien playing with Vampire Weekend to make up for the lack of Music Monday this week...enjoy!
