Day 3: The search continues...

The search continues....
As I get lost deeper and deeper into the abyss of YouTube Narnia, I can't help wonder why I ever listen to mainstream music.
I feel like such a hipster now.
I have the urge to dress up like a hobo and buy an iPhone.

Ahh...the simplicity of life....:)

Food and water are dwindling and I'm too far gone now. Now way out. And I'm loving it down here. I NEVER want to return to mainstream ever again! Goodbye Carly Rae Jepsen; hello Asobi Seksu! :)

Well sorry for not updating yesterday. I had rekindled my romance with The Sims 3 and I must say, I wonder why I ever gave it up! :)

Anyway, I'm running out of drinks during my quest and food is slowly becoming scarce. I think I can survive...hopefully.

YouTube Narnia: The Search Begins

Well guys, I'm off on my latest adventure through the murky depths of YouTube, a funny little place I like to call YouTube Narnia. It's a very breath-taking place filled to bursting with tons of songs by cool unknown bands with an eccentric lead singer. This is also the secret meeting place of all those hipsters with eclectic taste in...EVERYTHING!

My supplies:


  • a backpack filled with chocolate, water, grape juice, Lays chips and Oreos
  • my iPod 
  • 500 GB external hard drive
  • a newly created folder dedicated to my finds
  • laptop with Wi-Fi (so I can keep you guys updated)
  • cellphone
  • sketch pad for those silent moments when the video is still loading
  • translator :P
Well the objective is to find at least 20 songs that speak to me by Friday. Hopefully these supplies will last me.

Let the adventure begin!

  1. 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'-Judy Garland

Love.

So apparently I've been locked out of my sanctuary.

Locked out of my heaven.

Deprived of my addiction. 

Devoid of all emotions.

Seeking pleasure in all the wrong places...with all the wrong people.

Lend me a map won't you?
Just so I can find the place where we met.
Between the two willows, opposite the pond, right in front of the rusty iron fence.

And now my dear, that you're so old and grey
With gnarled fingers and a battered brain
Your eyes have lost their shine, all plain and dull
You don't hold me like you use to anymore.

We don't talk like we used to anymore
You don't smile as much anymore.
You're sad and never laugh
We don't even hold hands
You tell me I'm ugly and beat me with your hands
Each punch, bruise, kick and jab
Leaves a scar across my heart.

But mamma didn't raise no fool, I'm smart ^_^
It's because you don't love me anymore and I must be doing something wrong.
I've tried so hard but you hate me even more
Maybe I should just walk out that door
Take the kids and leave and never look back.

I mean, you could be happy after all.
If I'm gone...

I mean, you could be happy if I weren't alive at all....
