This is pure pop perfection. I am not the biggest fan of pop. Not unless it has punk beside it. But I love this. This is amazing. This is wonderful. This is Daniel Kim.
No, I do not have cancer. That seems to be the standard question now...
I am changing the way I look. I've never really liked the way I look, so I couldn't possibly hate the way I look more. Right?
Anyway, I'm doing it. This might be one of those stupid teenage girl things, but I need something new in my life. There's this blog, and I got to reconnect with the Teddy Bear (this is not his real name) who went to college this summer and totally broke my heart because he's a few months older than me and so got to graduate earlier but he is my BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD, so this Christmas wasn't all that bad.
However, I'm going back to school and I need to shock everyone a bit. I'm tired of being me. I want to be someone else for a while. Someone else with really short hair, but someone else nonetheless. I'll put up pictures and stuff.
My only real fear is that even as un-pretty as I am now, I'll look worse. But that's not a very valid fear.
I'm going to cut my hair and that's that.
Wish me luck!

P.S.: This is one of the few last times that I'm going to blog for a while because I'm a SENIOR and I have EXAMS, so I have to be super serious now and get my ass of the Internet. I am also a boarder at school now (means I basically sleep there), so access to Internet is mostly nil. I apologize to my new readers in advance.
P.P.S: I'll be "unavailable" for the next 4 months (ouch) but if I'm going to get into the university that I want to go to (Pan-Atlantic University which is in Nigeria in Lekki and there's a beach not far from it and OMG! I love that place...) I have to WORK HARD.
Fall Out Boy came back last year and they definitely CAME BACK. With a top notch rock songs and feature artistes (Big Sean, Courtney Love, Foxes, and ELTON JOHN!), they definitely brought back my love of rock and roll (okay, more like intensified my love of rock and roll).
Their album Save Rock and Roll is stunning. The first track released from it was My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light 'Em Up) and it has been featured in many, many movies and ads and TV shows (I think). The one I'm most conversant with is it's feature in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. Now each music video from the album has a story (only 3 are left to be released) and I suggest you start watching from the aforementioned song. The songs are hard-hitting, but they went for a pop angle on this one. I'm sure old fans (and new) will love it.
Here are the videos that have been released so far (not in order of track listing but in order of video releases). Warning: Not for the faint-hearted.

I hope you enjoy the songs as much as I did.
