Smells Like Sex and Candy.

nobody@vox.com(SockMonkeySlippers) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:20:12 -0700

So basically, that's the best title imaginable. I was watching VH1 this weekend and they were doing a countdown about the one-hit wonders, and this song "Sex and Candy" was on it. Worst song in existence, but the title is so funny.

Anyways.

I believe this Saturday I am taking the written part of the permit test (finally), so I'll be barely passing that. Last time I studied for about 3 months and got an 80 on a practice test in school! My expectations for this time around aren't very nice. With all luck, I'll have my permit in two weeks, much to Gracey's happiness, cause then I can drive her places, kinda. I rather take that chem midterm, Gracey, then the driving test. Like I really need to know the regulations for driving an 18 wheeler. When am I going to drive one?

In other news, I got my midterms back and I did a lot better than I thought I did. I thought I was going to get in the mid-90's (=[), but I ended up getting a 100, 99, and 98. YAY!

I found another beast song today, this time from an indie/scene band called Secondhand Serenade. The song is called "Fall For You" and it's basically the sweetest SONG EVER. For all those straight men and lesbians out there, best song to play to your gf. Ever.

Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You

Anyways, I'm off to play piano music for New Soul! =]

Temporary Hiatus is Over!

So, I'm finally back from my little week-long break from this fine blog. BUT, I have an excuse, cause I had a few beastly midterms this week and I finally finished, so now I have free time! I basically studied 20,000 hours, so my brain is pretty dead. Atrophy of the brain tissue is going on as we speak.

So, while I was on a studying spree, I managed to discover a beastly new singer, second only to B. Spears, called Adele. She's a newbie in the music industry, hailing from England and her album is called 19. Her voice is amazing and her songs are awesome. I believe she had a free song on iTunes a few months ago called "Hometown Glory." My favorite song is Chasing Pavements, which coincidently, has a really cool music video:

Adele - Chasing Pavements **IN SYNCH**

Now Gracey, I want you to actually watch the entire video. You'll enjoy it a lot.

Cheers,
Trey <3

Fine, No Caps.

Better?

I happen to like all-capital titles because it sounds dramatic. Very nice montage, though it makes me wonder why people find entertainment in seeing a tractor driving by. I wish I had hats!

So, maybe we can beat the 25 record for January! Hopefully I have enough topics to talk about or prate about. So, does anyone know what gel electrophoresis is besides me? Or has done it before? I would like to think that a regular school's biology course is not THAT inadequate.

I'd like to announce that I have been picked by the local Catholic Church to direct a play about the birth of Jesus this year during Vacation Bible School! It stars a bunch of lovely 2nd graders as well. I feel very special, seeing as I'm an Atheist and I beat out all the Catholics. Stupid service hours for NHS.

So, I believe I finished BEFORE my self-appointed deadline! It is still Friday and the video has been complete!

I can't help but feeling like Britney cause we both are having our big comebacks this month. AND WE ARE BOTH ROCKING IT TOO.

YAY! Enjoy.

Trey's Comeback Movie!

HE IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!

Trey is back!

So after my month and one day absence, I felt I had enough time to finally post something. School has been hitting hard over the past month, and as we all know, the unnamed food chain I recently got a job for has been controlling my social life and free time. I finally was able to extricate myself from the store's claws for all of this week and next!

However, this also means Gracey had over a month to edit our join video from like two months ago, so THERE'S NO EXCUSE, MISS GRACEY. I'll have tons of time next week during Spring Break!, so I'm going to make a super sexy video that involves the marvelous B. Spears. However, I am not making a video till that video is up and running!

Just so the viewers can see what I have been up to lately, here's a lovely picture.

Please ignore the date, as I've been perfecting the kissyface/peace sign act all month in remote seclusion. I've been told that it's super hot.

The gorgeous Gracey has been spotted hitting up the hottest club spots in our little town in the middle of nowhere. Here she is rocking a blue hot and retro curls, reminiscent, of maybe...INGRID BERGMAN?!

Hopefully I'll have a video up by like, Tuesday?

Love,
Trey <3

Like whoa.

nobody@vox.com(SockMonkeySlippers) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:33:08 -0800

I think everyone should mark today, February 18th, 2008, as the day that I have finally reached regular teenager status. I finally got the power to text, so I feel like now my teenage years have been completed. Of course, there is a downside to this victory. A local unnamed food chain has taken my social life away from me in exchange for minimum wage being a cash register, so saying hi to the customers is going to be the extent of my social life for the next year. I don't mind too much because I like greeting strangers, and especially the large amount of senior citizens who shop at this store. Plus, we have some gorgeous people in our town, who will be fun to stare at.

This also happens to be the day that my brother (who's 12 and ugly) has his first friend who's a girl over my house. It's a pretty big deal. I think he's just breached the "OMG GIRLS HAVE COOTIES" stage, which is sad. I liked making fun of him for that. And like whoa, she just arrived! I'd take a video of the first greeting and the entire visit and post it on here if it wasn't creepy.

And I agree, we should do a super secret surprise thing.

Anyways, I must be off to write a historical newspaper about colonial America!

Yay for Gracey!

nobody@vox.com(SockMonkeySlippers) — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 18:10:54 -0800

I'm so proud of you for making a new video! You are a beast. And I still haven't done my video yet! Seriously, if you had as much homework as I've had these past two weeks, you wouldn't be blogging either.

Anyways, I found this beast of a song on iTunes today and I think Gracey might actually like it. We also said we wanted a music section, so I decided to post in it. It's called New Soul and it's by Yael Naim, a French/Israeli singer! This song was featured on the new Mac commercial for the AirBook I believe. Her voice reminds me of Regina Spektor and the music reminds me of Feist. Not to mention that she's SO PRETTY. It's such a beast and cute song, and lucky for you, I attached the video! I also downloaded another song of hers, but I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it. I guarentee it's going to be awesome.

Watch and enjoy!

Yay for Tomorrow!

nobody@vox.com(SockMonkeySlippers) — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:01:00 -0800

So basically, tomorrow I switch all my classes cause my school is on the awesome block scheduling design. So I go from Algebra II, Physics, Spanish, and Health to Bio II, English II, US History I, and Fitness! I'm so excited you have no idea. English and History have always been my favorite subjects in school, because I prefer words WAY more than numbers, and frankly, I've had too many numbers these last few months. You can ask Gracey, I am a history beast, so I am ready to reclaim my crown as emperor.

And tonight, George W. Bush is doing his FINAL State of the Union, which is such a relief. I'm assuming most of the speech is going to be dedicated to the "recession" (it's a figment of everyone's imagination) and the $150 billion stimulus plan. Frankly, I think it's not going to work because most people are going to put the thousand or so dollars in the bank so they don't go bankrupt, not spend it on nice clothes and TVs. It's just going to make the government fall even more in debt, which is nice. This weekend, I saw this giant electronic billboard that counted the national debt and it goes up like $5 million every second. From a few days ago, each family has $77,000 of the national debt and the overall debt was $9 trillion. Fun stuff.
