really special. one of the things we do is all go get christmas trees, go to my aunt & uncle’s house for lunch, and then have our annual folkinz family football game. this year my team lost 3-2, but i did score both of our touchdowns so that was cool.</p>http://folkinz.tumblr.com/post/262563488http://folkinz.tumblr.com/post/262563488Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:12:43 -0500<img

-0500<p>i’ve been listening to a lot of pop music lately, you know like on the radio.  and i’m not really embarrassed to say that i like it to anyone.  i’ve always kinda loved pop music.  i grew up in the 80s listening to new wave and pop music, cyndi lauper was my first concert.  how could pop music not be ingrained in me?  the music my mother loved also played a part in my musical upbringing.  she loved & listened to janis joplin, fleetwood mac, carole king, patsy cline, & michael jackson.</p> <p>i wish i could remember what the first album i ever bought was like so many other people can, but i don’t.  sometimes i want to lie and say it’s something super cool like “oh you know i was in seventh grade and i saw repeater by fugazi and just bought it and that’s how i got into ‘real’ music”, but i didn’t. well, i did buy some fugazi albums, but not until high school after a friend played them for me.  it wasn’t until high school that i did start buying my own albums, or well tapes, then cds.  i remember buying smells like teen spirit when it came out, i remember seeing the video on mtv, and how much that album spoke to me.  what i loved the most about it was that it was just really loud pop songs. kurt cobain really knew how to write amazing pop songs.  it was then that i got my first guitar with ambitions of writing just as good pop songs.  i still dream of writing a musical with pop songs. maybe one day, but i digress.</p> <p>back to the radio now.  i have no shame in admitting that i like miley cyrus, whoever is writing her songs are on point. like seriously, “noddin’ my head like yeah, moving my hips like yeah” is basically crap taken out of context, but inserted in that chorus? i am throwing my hands up like yeah, cause this shit is <i>my song</i>.  this is everyone’s song.  and i want to hate taylor swift, i really do. but fuck if that girl can’t write a crappy song that gets stuck in my head. i want to be fifteen again so that song really means something to me, cause when i’m fifteen there’s nothing to figure out, taylor you know me so well.  britney spears i feel you girl, but what does peter, paul, & mary have to do with threesomes? besides being a trio? or well, not anymore (pouring one out for you mary).  i say whatever, cause again it’s another pop song that gets stuck in my head and i grew to love it. 1, 2, 3.</p> <p>oh & i am in no way comparing these people to the music i grew up listening to, but what it all comes down to is songwriting and writing a good pop song always gets me.</p> <p>i am not going to stop listening to the radio, or miley cyrus, or britney spears, and maybe not even taylor swift. i’m the new berlin wall, try and tear me down.</p>http://folkinz.tumblr.com/post/261562849http://folkinz.tumblr.com/post/261562849Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:18:00 -0500pop musictl;dr<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

and spending time with family.  What’s better than that?  I served dinner at my apartment this year with seven adults and my two boys.  I like having dinner with a small group of people like I do every year, but one year I would love to make dinner for a large group of people.  Here is our menu for this year’s dinner!</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktsv9oq7OW1qz7q2t.jpg"/></p> <p>Anyway, this year I started prepping two days before by boiling a chicken for Dustin’s dressing and for broth for my soup…Dustin’s dressing is really more like a chicken stuffing, something his family from Missouri made every thanksgiving.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktru35tm2a1qz7q2t.jpg"/></p> <p><a
