If you haven't seen Chuck yet you don't realize what you're missing. It is easily the best show I've ever seen, and the music is a huge reason why.

The new and not so new

Here I am starting yet another blog. At least this one was an old one. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

My best friend convinced me to start one up again so here it goes. I've given up on the traditional "this is what happened today, blah blah blah" kinda blog. Hopefully by just sticking to what I'm interested in and less of the everyday monotony I might actually stick with this one. Because let's face it. Not a lot goes on in my life that makes anything interesting to read about.

So to start off, here's my current obsession. I'm sure we all have those bands that we used to listen to ALL the time when we were younger, but just kinda forgot about or maybe you're just too embarrassed to admit that you used to listen too. Well I used to listen to Linkin Park all the time in middle school. I haven't really thought about them in years, but the other day I was driving home and heard this song on the radio. As with a lot of songs I immediately started memorizing the lyrics so I could go home and download it. About half way though I started thinking "huh this guy sounds kinda familiar." It took me almost to the time I got home to realize it was Linkin Park. It's a lot different than the old style I was used to, but I love it.

Anyways, I'd love to sit here and gush about how amazing the song is, but that usually annoys me when other people do it. Plus I'm honestly pretty bad at explaining why I love certain music. So here's a link. Go. Listen. Enjoy.

The Catalyst - Linkin Park
