Beckie reads awesome blogs.

So I'm busy doing stuff that really isn't that productive, but such is my life for the moment. In the meantime, please to enjoy by way of a cool brown chick blog, Brown Girl in the Lane. I am no longer surprised when something I need comes to me, especially when it comes to me. I spent the weekend watching the first season of Game of Thrones. I put off watching it because I wanted to limit my TV time, and the reviews I read were very inconsistent. I was skeptical. But I was wrong. I can't wait for season 2 and I'm waiting for the books to come through library loan. Working at a university with access to an entire system of libraries is a huge perk for me! I know I save hundreds if not thousands by using the system. Yay me!

Anyway, Osha is played by Natalia Tena, an amazing (I need to start using another word besides amazing) singer/actress, is the lead singer in a band called Molotov Jukebox. This band invented their own style of music, gyp-step. That.is.amaz-balls. I knew none of this though when I marathoned through season 1 of GoT.

 My geekiness demands I know about the artist/sage/story of the art that speaks to me. I go way past the wiki baseline. I could be a detective; like Jonathon from Bored to Death (not really trying to pimp ech.bee.oh).  Back to point....Tena had me with the song intro which is featured in the vid. And the duck. I am this song. And I'm ok with that. For now.

Trying - Molotov Jukebox
I feel like I'm half complete
Trying to find my place in the sun and run and I run and I run but I can't compete
My friends say I'm fine but I'm fraying at the seams
and I just can't sleep
My nightmares I keep through the day and they won't go away
and I taste defeat
.. ..
Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
but I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know






More Natalia Tena here.

This is how I dooze.

 Somebody drop that boom-boom kack beat...

I kicks it on my single speed bike
You know, that's how I'm living life right
Don't need no brakes cuz I don't go fast
Don't need no gears cuz I'm not going past u
See me and say ha-ha ha-ha she funny
But I know you is paying out that money
To fill your tank you can't feel your bank
Making all that stank in your caged up jank

Rolling on the twos, rolling, rolling on the twos
Rolling on the twos, rolling, rolling on the twos
That's how I dooze, I'm rolling on them twos

My ride to work is like stupid short
Like Judge Miriam of People's Court
You can't stand the rain cuz you all dried up
You can't take the pain cuz you so gassed up
Fien'n for that petrol got you going hard
Hooking for that retail is just so retard
Your problem is this you forgot what's real
You let them talk you into more than you can deal
When you were young you knew how to have fun
Now you grown and all you do is moan about
this and that and now you feel trapped
but what you can't see is how to be free
You gotta wake up so you can stay tuned
channel your grind and free your mind

Rolling on the twos, rolling, rolling on the twos
Rolling on the twos, rolling, rolling on the twos
That's how I dooze, I'm rolling on them twos
