My Love Story with Taylor Swift

You know quite often it would seem to the outsider that I am very rock and roll, well, I guess as an insider I seem very rock and roll. I mean, I have Rock Band, what is more rock and roll than that?

Seriously, this is rock and roll:







<----- Rock and Roll Right there...

You can just feel my passion for the music.




'
I have a photo of me drinking beer and playing drums at the same time, but in the interest of not getting people I don't talk to anymore stalked and my laziness in editing and photos, it isn't a sound file, I'd have to work out how to actually do that.

Hey man! You just lay off! All I'm just doing is trying to keep things interesting, I don't need this attitude!!!

I'm leaving!!




Oh, Taylor, you are there. Yeah, I guess I'm ok, I just had a fight with my imaginary readers.


 It's ok, Taylor. It happens, I'm working on my issues, but right now, I just need to accept that but in the meantime I probably should stop talking to photos.




Woah man, I get it, drama isn't cool, but what did you do with Taylor?
Dude! Not cool!!

Now, I should use real words and not pictures because at the end of the day I am an audio person... Which I guess isn't helpful at all in this context.
Actually, that's a lie, we are talking about music. Music is totally audio.

 I love music personally, did you not see me rocking out on those drums? Yeah, rock and roll!
But there is one thing when one is rock and roll and that means you can't like certain groups without some kind of label being attached, but I am pretty sure it is actually impossible to label my music genre it is just far to everything, I can't label it but that's because I actually suck at stereotyping. I have a friend that helps me do that.

At the end of the day, I like rock and roll, I like ska, I like musicals and frequently I have the musical taste of a 12 year old girl. 

Now all of that is out of the way, I am going to say it...

I love Taylor Swift. 


If only I could be that guitar...

I joke about that, only because last night I was asked if I was going to marry Taylor Swift.
I said I would, in Canada, since then it would be legal.

I have since changed my mind that I am in fact not going to marry Taylor Swift because when we break up, which is likely to happen since our schedules would just not work out and it would be painful, so painful we all know she is going to write an album about it and how I broke her heart and everyone would know they would be all like "Oh, there goes Elyse she totally broke Taylor Swift's heart and Taylor Swift was always so nice not that horrid Elyse!".
My fictional love with Taylor Swift is complicated.

I couldn't be with Adele for the same reason.

Sorry solo female artists of the world who sell records about heartbreak!

Perhaps, we should move on the to the music side, it seems less complicated and you know real.

Mainly, I actually really want to talk about the song "You Belong With Me".

Do we all need to take a minute to enjoy the song?
It's ok, let us take a minute, relax, get our thoughts together.
To just stop and love Taylor.




This film also has the classic pop move double role. So, we get double the Taylor action.
I have a special love for Bitchy!Taylor in this one, I don't even know why, but it is delightful.

I like the song, I do, but Taylor, hunni, you can wear t-shirts and short skirts at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive.
When I was looking for a picture to demonstrate this is what I got. Ladies, men who like to wear skirts, you are welcome.

However, I did an actual example:

"Yeah, look at this Taylor Swift"

Look! Completely possible to wear a t-shirt and short skirt.
That is a bad opening argument Taylor! You need to lead with your strong points!
Start with how you both enjoy writing signs to each other in an art book that is conveniently located near your window which is located near your dreamboat.

It finally occured to me the other day as I drove home listening to my Taylor, that maybe Taylor wears T-Shirts instead of short skirts and without pants.

In this style:



Having accepted that Taylor Swift just likes to be pantless made me be able to accept that is just how Taylor is and well, I guess that is why we belong together. 


It seems only fair that it should end up like this...

It looks like I'm playing a G chord on that sign...

And then things got complicated....
This photo wasn't even stolen. Yeah, that's right.

All my life lessons from Tetris

I was looking to go to a website that I have in my bookmarks, which is really not organised. It brought me shame.
On the way to violating international copyright law, which as a side note, I ended up buying on iTunes (Support the music industry!). Ok, it was actually because I couldn't find it anywhere else.  Support independent music!

My distractions know no bounds. I'm amazing.

In my list of bookmarks I have just a whole bunch of random articles bookmarked, I have some ones that I am awfully fond of such as these two. You are welcome.

This is the most disjointed beginning to a topic I have ever written.

However, it does have a point, I randomly clicked the wrong link and got this comic:

Pic from: Minor Chaos

Now, to get things clear, I love Tetris. I am excellent at Tetris and dammit, it is high time that I add Tetris to my dictionary because I am sick of my spell check saying it is not a real word, but it's not just a real word it is a real way of life. 

I know it is simple minded to learn ALL my life lessons from Tetris, since I watch TV and read books and I did learn that is "best not to dwell in dreams and forget how to live", nor that "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure" or that not all who wander a lost, but I never read that book or saw the movie, I just found it on a quote website and it stuck with me. 
Then again, these same things offer terrible life lessons, refer to anything to do with Spike on Buffy. 

However, from the comic we learn the lesson of compromise and it's true, you just wait and wait for that long piece to make all your Tetris dreams come true but the real lesson to learn from Tetris is that is it is life. Not in the Tetris is my life kind of way but that Tetris is a metaphor for life. 

I'm sure you are now looking at your screen with a look of disbelief at my crazy talk right now or you are thinking about all those things that are metaphors for life, but they aren't really. You know why? 

Because you can't win at Tetris. You don't win. 
That's right, Tetris BEAT you. 
I am, of course talking about real Tetris, you can get versions of Tetris "marathon" that caps out at 15 levels, but that's not real Tetris. 
Real Tetris just keeps sending pieces until you cap out at the top. 

Think about life. Life keeps going out until you die. You can't beat life. You don't win at the end. 

But a game of Tetris is like life, but not like the Game of Life, so at the beginning you start with nothing. Just a blank stage on which you create the building blocks and get a good foundation going, as you reach milestones you get to a higher level and the speed slowly increases and you don't really notice. Ok, I don't really notice but I'm freakishly good at Tetris, so there's that. 

Then the thing with Tetris is that it doesn't always go to plan, you have no control of what comes next. You might get the straight piece when you don't need and you could be waiting for the straight piece so long you the cap out. 
Your playing strategy might not be the going for Tetrises, which is 4 lines for those not in the know. 

Either way, you have your way, you have to work with what you get, the only second chances you get are the ones you make yourself. There is luck in what pieces you get, but it's how you use them that counts. 


 You start, you game over. You are born, you die.
Things happen in the middle, you have high points, you have low points. It is nigh impossible to not make mistakes in a game of Tetris, some you can get out of, some you can't.

Such is life. 
Such is Tetris.






Have you ever noticed...

In case no one has ever noticed, I am deeply, deeply amused by the search terms from Google that helps people end up in my little neck of the internet.

This explains why I have a regular segment about it.

The thing with my search terms, it is either about hugs or about literal songs.
I didn't think my literal song post was that spectacular but it ends up with the most consistent hits.

However, the thing about the hugs?
What IS with that?

At what point should I be worried about this hug thing?
Are some kind of Christians gonna come after me when they notice that my hugs aren't appropriate?
Are some random people going to be all like "You're that girl that rants angrily about Spike and talks about hugs a lot" and then go to hug me.

Dear Fandom,

DON'T RANDOMLY HUG ME!!
If you need to approach me, do so with slow steady movements as not to startle me and cause injury.
If you'd like some tips about dealing with Elyse, please read this helpful information

All my love,
Elyse

Dear People I know and work with,

Please stop touching me.

Thanks,
Elyse

Elyse's Guide to World Peace

Just as the title says, in a world that is full of hate and violence and all kinds of bad shit. The one way to solve it:

Don't be a douche. No, just don't.
Don't be a douchewaffle or a douchnozzle, don't get yourself douche-knighted to become Sir Douchwaffle nor King of the Douches.

If everyone just stopped being a douche, there would be world peace.

In conclusion...

I just ended that last post with two swear words and not a proper ending.

This might explain why some people think of me when they hear the phrase "Fuck you whore".

But I know plenty of people that say that kind of stuff.
Clearly, my circle of friends are horrible, horrible people...

I think that's what I love most about those crazy whores.
