Emotional Wreck
I am a generally happy person with a very optimistic outlook on life. I believe there is an innately good soul in everyone I meet and I believe they will always do the right thing. Maybe it’s a little bit too much faith in people but I do think its necessary. So it’s a weird situation when anyone ever finds me in a sour or pissed off mood and they make the decision to say “You’re too emotional! Stop it!” Is it wrong to get emotional every once in a while?

Trolling
I spent the better part of the evening trolling through the Match and OKCupid sites. It was more boredom and to stop the mental chatter more than anything. I like Type Geek, I do, but I never get to see him. I guess that I realized, even in a casual thing, I put people high on a priority list and I need that in return, at least right now. Getting rescheduled those last couple of weeks by Cooper Fiennes because I wasn't his priority; that stung. Getting dumped for a possible replacement; that stung too. I need to know that I am more than just something to fill the time. You can be casual but care about each other. It's a problem when the caring gets sidestepped and the other person gets stepped on and over in the process. Family & Parenting | The New Gay

Sonny and the Sunsets, “Too Young to Burn”
Sonny Smith’s Sonny and the Sunset’s project have been a best kept secret for a bit, but this is all going to change when the band’s debut Tomorrow is Alright drops August 31st on Fat Possum Records. Sonny and the Sunsets exemplify west-coast pop. Unlike the west-coast chillwavers, Sonny and the Sunset’s music is more garage rock, but it is equally as beachy. Today’s song “Too Young to Burn” is a laid back head-nodder that is sure to get stuck in your head. Entertainment | The New Gay
