Pick Me Up of the Week

I know you all will like this one! Here's some more Pogo for all of you.


Pogo-Expialidocious. This video doesn't trip me out as much as Alice does, but I think this song is very beautiful. Expialidocious was composed using a sine wave bass, custom drum sequences, and sounds from Mary Poppins. As Mary Poppins is filled with musical numbers, you can hear their beautiful singing voices throughout this video. Listening to this song not only lifts me up, but watching the video does too. It's always a special thing to be reminded about something you've forgotten. I love Disney.

A fan commented on Pogo's YouTube page, and I think we can all relate to what he says...

"I have said it once, I will say it again. You can change the world with this music man. It takes the mind somewhere when u listen, I cant explain it, its unlike anything I have experienced. Your music lifts peoples hearts. Thank You man"


I hope you all have enjoyed the Pick Me Up of Week as much as I have enjoyed posting them. Know that every week when I posted these, I genuinely hoped that it would brighten someone's day. After all my selfish actions in the past, I now find great happiness in bringing joy to other people. I hope I've made y'all smile!

Pick Me Up of the Week

Because I slacked a little on getting the pick me up out this week, and I think it's been a difficult weekend for all of us with finals, I've decided to put up two pick me ups for today. I read a few blogs today that told me everyone might need it, particularly Elyse's. You're right, Elyse. The hellacious rain did make this weekend crappy. I really hope this weeks edition(s) will give all of you a spark.


I'm not much of a Chris Crocker fan, but this video never fails to make me laugh. NEVER. That gay, hissy fit tone he says everything in, and how he whips his feathered hair around while running with the camera always gets me.




The Go! Team- Get It Together. They're called The Go! Team for a reason. Every time I hear them I want to get up and be active. Their songs are great to listen to when you're sad because all of them are so happy. You can't listen to them without feeling a little perked up. Get It Together is one of their more magical songs. I love listening to it when I'm driving or when I'm outside. Everything feels so much more alive. I feel adventurous and like the world is a playground. Try listening to it and see if it makes you feel the same.


I hope everyone can find some relief during the upcoming finals week. Don't lose your head.

Pick Me Up of the Week

Sometimes we all just need to laugh. It's the pick me up that never fails. With that in mind, I would like to share with all of you my selection of the most epic FAIL blogs ever!! I love FAILblog. I go there whenever I want to laugh my ass off. If you need to do the same then watch these videos. They still make me laugh after all the many times I've watched them.


I love that epic Superman dive right into the ground! HA!!


I want to be friends with this guy. I'm so glad that the cops laughed at this.


Holy crap, this woman. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT TREES!! This video is the fail that keeps on giving.


That's so bad! Can you imagine being in church and seeing that happen? Wow.

And my favorites:




What a shining example of John Mayer's fan base! I hope all of you saw at least one that made you crack up. Check out the website for more FAIL-tastic hilarity. I'm also a big fan of Totally Looks Like. Some of those things are just damn clever. Enjoy!

Pick Me Up of the Week


Alice by Pogo.This video was made by a film student under the alias of "Pogo". The trippy, electronic sound is composed 90% by sounds from Alice and Wonderland. Don't bother trying to make sense of the lines Alice speaks through the video. It's Dada. There is no meaning in what she says.

Whenever I play this song I feel like Alice slipping into another universe. I imagine myself falling through the rabbit hole and tumbling down into a sea of changing colors and cartoon images--never reaching the bottom. Whenever you want to leave this world, listen to this song with your eyes closed and watch your own Wonderland unfold. Your stress will melt away and imagination will have time to run. If you go on YouTube and look this video up, you will find a link to where you can download this song and listen to it wherever you are. Happy dreaming!

Pick Me Up of the Week



Do the Whirlwind by Architecture in Helisnki!! Watch this video when you need to smile. Not only does the song itself make me happy, but paired with this video it's cute overload! Try and be sad while watching those cute chibis dance in sync! I dare you!!

Pick Me Up of the Week

Hello folks. I've been trying to decide my blog's personal niche--some sort of weekly post that I can do, as I've seen some pretty great ones from everyone else. Keeping in the spirit of my blog's overall purpose (to chase my bad vibes away), I've decided on a post that I think is perfect for me: Pick Me Up of the Week. I'm going to post any videos, pictures, song lyric, or anything else I find each week that makes me instanly happy. You'd be suprised how greatly such things affect me. I can still listen to certain songs or watch certain videos and feel giddy all over no matter how I felt before.

And so, I'm going to kick off this pick me up with the most apropriate selection for this occasion. My first Pick Me Up of the Week is:



Pick Me Up Uppercut- Pop Levi

I've listened to this song for months, and every single time I hear it, it puts a spark in me. I always feel like dancing. I picture myself dancing in a room with changing lights and a disco ball, wearing a full, ruffled skirt with a fabulous print like Madonna. I can't think of any other song that makes me want to throw away my inhibitions and dance like a fool like Pick Me Up Uppercut. Try putting it on and dancing in your room when you want to chase the blues away. Dancing is one of the best, and most enjoyable ways to increase endorphins. Just let it all go!!
