"I Love Rock N' Roll!" by DEV

Hello critters. Dev here.

(Disclaimer: If you did not know yet, this is not me.)

With our internet connection restored, I woke up with an amazing urge to blog. So I flew up to my computer, opened up Blogspot, and then just stared at the screen for a solid 5 seconds.


My awezome brain does not take that long to come up with decent, insightful, informative and important blog posts... LOL.




So I just named this entry after the song that got stuck in my head for no reason. I LOVE ROCK N' ROLL. So put another dime in the juke box baby.

(I apologize for the seizure-inducing GIF)

SO ANYWAY.

I know you guys missed me. Or not...

BUT Im'ma still update you on all the stuff that's been goin' on in the life of the awesomazing Dev.

So this is my list of What Happened to Dev While He Was Gone:

1.) Ark and I are about to graduate and I'm all excited.

2.) A few good neighbors started living close to us.

(This is them moving in.)

3.) I finished my internship before I completely became a bat. If you didn't know yet, I worked at a night shift.

4.) I got a great evaluation grade for slacking off. You know, as usual, Ark did ALL the work.

(Inserts irrelevant but funny GIF)

5.) Played more TF2.

6.) Celebrated my birthday! (I'm now 200,000 years old. Still young and fresh.)

7.) Kent changed his profile picture. Hmm, not too shabby for a human.

8.) I guzzled more coffeeeee.

9.) Met new friends.

10.) And learned how to do this...

Just kidding. I'm more awezome than them.

"Fading"by ARK

Dev and I have finished nearly every single one of the requirements we need to graduate. We can feel that we are on the last few days of our stay at the College of Communication. Even scarier than that: we're about to finish our studies.

A few months ago I thought the feeling would be glorious. Like accomplishing something impossible.\

But now that we're actually this close to graduating, I feel like I'm...

...fading.

I said goodbye to my internship friends a couple of days ago (the same reason I have not been able to post anything for a long time. I was busy with the internship, and our internet connection was cut. Imagine how devastated Dev's been. He still gets cranky at random intervals due to the lack of an internet connection.)

When I waved my last goodbye to the old building I spent three months in, I was not able to help but feel empty.

That day, I held in my hand a very successful evaluation sheet that proved how hard I worked during my internship. But the happy feeling inside me, had a shadow of loneliness casted on it. It was the goodbye part that hurt. It was the fact that I was leaving a place that I've been so attached to.

Of course I can always pay them a visit. But it would be different. I guess it's not the goodbye that's making me sad. It's the fact that my life is moving forward at an incredibly fast pace. And I'm struggling to hold on.

The fear of the future is becoming ever more real.

Now imagine the emptiness I'd feel when I finally leave the people I've spent four years with. Four years worth of memories and experiences that you'll never recall in detail. It's a sad, sad loss.

I'm fading. Not disappearing. I'm fading into the future. And I don't know what things I'll get to keep with me. I wonder what it would be that would fade with me?

"Mashup" by POP

Hello guys! Pop here. Your friendly neighborhood superstar.

So I've been making a few mashups lately just for the heck of it. I figured, since I like listening to them so much, why not make my own? Right? Right?

And since Dev and Ark gave me permission to post on their blog, I figured, why not endorse my creations?

For those of you who don't know yet, a mashup is usually a mix of two or more songs. On YouTube you can find several examples. Some use the music of one song and then mash them up with the vocals of another song.

I like listening to (and making) mashups that use the instrumentals and the vocals of both songs.

Here are the ones I've made so far. Of course it still needs a bit of work, but it's my first time making these and I'm kinda proud of myself.

Click the title!

1. The Vanity Mashup

-> This one makes use of "For Your Entertainment" by Adam Lambert and "Vanity" by Lady Gaga.

2. The Cold-Hearted Mashup

-> I got the inspiration for this while driving... it suddenly occurred to me that both songs start with the letters "Co" and they basically have the same message. So I mashed them up.

Songs: "Cowboy Casanova" by Carrie Underwood and "Coldhearted" by Paula Abdul. But I used the Glee cover for Coldhearted.




Enjoy! :)
