There had been hacks before so that people could download artist’s tracks from MySpace even though the ubiquitous “Download” link was nowhere to be found. Now, MySpaceValley.com offers a solution for those of us who wish to violate copyright laws in the United States and other countries. Without further ado, here’s the link:

http://myspacevalley.com/mp3dl.php

It’s really simple. All you need is the URL of the artist’s page, and then you will be able to select the MP3′s that artist has available for download. I have heard this site’s script works with Windows computers running Internet Explorer and Mozilla, but failed on Mac OS X systems running Safari. Hopefully it works for you!

Happy pirating. Kidding!

 Rated TV-PG for Mature Language. Hooray, right?

Now that you’ve read that language warning, I can give you the whole title of what I was going to write as the subject: “Trapped in Shit.” That’s what it feels like sometimes, when everything feels like it is not going my way. For the moment, it isn’t. I feel like I have failed. FAILURE = ME. Woe is me, and all that other depressing shit. Oh well? Oh well.

I know that sometimes life is not the way you want it to be, but I just wish it wouldn’t all come falling down on me, or at least have the illusion that the world is ending. Is it? It feels like it. I know it isn’t, but that doesn’t change how I feel. Even when you know you’ll survive that surgery, it still freaks you out to go into the operating room to begin with, doesn’t it?

Life is like that sometimes. As my [old] psychiatrist once put it, “The brain has a natural ebb and flow to it”… I guess life would be like that, too. I just want more happy ebb and less painful flow.

It’s amazing how one event can just snowball into a disaster. I don’t like winter anymore. Where’s Spring?…

That would have been a beautiful ending. Alas, it was too emo. I’m not really feeling that emo. I just want things to go my way. They do, sometimes, but not usually, and that bothers me. I guess I can’t be too greedy. I should just wait for the good part of the movie… that next DVD scene I’ve been longing for. Yep, that’s the stuff right there.

Ever gone to a restaurant where they had fortune cookies? Of course you have. I thought these cookies’ messages, however, were particularly meaningful. Have a look for yourself!

This was what I was presented with from two separate fortune cookies, while sitting next to the great guy I’m dating, Danii! [B] [MS] I had never opened a fortune cookie with any message like that, let alone two of them in a row. I don’t know… maybe it means something. I’d like to think so! :]

It’s always great hanging out with Danii. You never know what’s going to happen next, and he’s so relaxed and laid back that I’m comfortable with whatever happens (or doesn’t).

Life is what it is, and it’s what we make of it. Sometimes, you have to take risks. You have to believe that maybe there’s someone trying to tell you something, and that something may be real. Maybe this is what we’ve hoped for all along…

<3 you Danii!

Also, something too cool to take note of…There’s only one number in common on both fortune cookies, Danii’s age! :] Cool…

Here are some more silly pictures of our (not so) beloved President.

Today I am in a better mood than usual. I’m sure there’s at least one person (or commenter that understands why. Things just seem to be looking up.

I’m really grateful for the people in my life, especially for the people that have always been there for me.

So now that I’ve let you all know I’m in a good mood, here’s some entertainment for you. If you like Bush, look away… but odds are in my favor. =]

This one just makes me smile. Hah. Silly turkey. There’s nothing in there for you.

Read the bottom headline. Oh yeah, we all agree on this one. I’m sure they didn’t intend it to read that Bush is the worst disaster, but, you get the idea.

How Come They Can’t Hear Me?… [Note which end of the phone is up ]

Haha. Hope everyone has a great Friday! Love ya’ll! (You know, the people I love.

Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey once said, “Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We lose as much to life as we do to death.”

If I was to hate time ever, this would definitely be one of the best moments to do so.

I’ve lost a lot. I’ve lost a lot of important people. They’ve left my life for reasons unbenknownst to me. And, I hate to say it, but, I miss the past… I really do.
“Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn.” – Delmore Schwartz

I’ve gained a lot, but I’ve lost a lot as well. I’ve been disappointed with the major life paths I have chosen. I’ve messed up… and I am not happy about it.

Hopefully I’ll fix it all with time.

Damn, where did the time go?…

First, let’s get the important stuff out first. The blog now has a new feature (requested by one very loyal reader and awesome friend) so that you can post private comments, or essentially, submit a comment that only I can read. If you are logged in, you can also choose other registered users to have your comment sent to, but if you don’t have an account, that’s OK– I’ll be the only one who can have access/be able to see your comment/message. Pretty neat, huh? Hope you like it!

So right now, I’m past my one-month anniversary here at my job at the corporate office of Mission Foods/GRUMA Corp. It actually isn’t that bad of a job. I never, ever, ever run out of work to do, and my desk is near a window! I’m quite satisfied here. I just wish I wasn’t a temp. That would be nice… I would have a little more job stability. I wouldn’t worry (but not nearly as much before) about whether I’m going to get a call on my way home saying my “assignment has finished” or something similar. But I’m enjoying it while it lasts, and as Danniiiii pointed out, there’s no point in worrying over things that probably won’t happen; all the more reason to rejoice!

Well, I’m about to get out of work now… and head home. Rush hour traffic = Shit. I’ll write more tonight. Or later. Later!

Better yet, what makes life, life? What transforms us just being here into something worth experiencing?

I’ve been having a rather large problem with this lately, and it’s starting to dig deep into me. I have conflicts with money, people, money, relationships, friendships, other -ships, more money, and stress from every direction… but then again, whose life doesn’t have at least a few of these?

It’s just that mine seem to be really amplified, a lot worse than what other people are going through. Am I just being exaggerative? I don’t think I am. I don’t want to be. I want my problems to go away… but it doesn’t seem like they are improving. They just seem to be getting bigger and bigger… Hopefully the right people will notice what I’m saying here. I need help from you…

This is why my major is no longer Business Administration…

We’ve all heard of “Why do you care?” We’ve probably said it many times in our lives before. But perhaps there is something there that we have not considered: the fact that we should be caring about what’s going on around us, and what’s being done for us… There’s so much that we are not aware of.

This entry is dedicated to the only person who could possibly understand this. You know who you are.
Regardless of who I may have dedicated this entry to, everyone can relate to it, so enjoy.

If you care, then perhaps life will be a little more difficult. Suddenly, you are aware of what’s gone wrong around you. Ignorance is still indeed bliss, but what is knowledge? Power? Heh. I don’t know about that one. Knowledge can be just as confusing as a lack of knowledge, and I think that’s why many of us try to not care.

We don’t even think it’s worth it.

We don’t think it’s important enough to pay attention to how someone may be affected by our actions. Even worse, for me, people don’t seem to care enough about me. Last resort actions never seemed to do the trick for me, either.

So just a word of advice. Why do you care? Hopefully you have a good reason… because I am pretty sure I do.
