Well due to the fact I officially lack a life, it’s no question how much time I spend in front of the computer everyday. And whenever I’m online or typing something (like this post, lol), I always have my media player playing something from my music library (right now I have Take That’s ‘Patience’ on). Sometimes I sit in front of the PC for hours just listening to music. One reason I do that is because my stereo died some time ago, and I have to wait to ask my dad if I can steal my brother’s from his room :p (He’s in the US, it’s not like he’s going to miss it, lol). Anyway, I thought I’d write a bit on the music I like to listen to, because personally for me, I find it very important in my life and it can affect my mood a lot. That’s probably why I enjoy dance tracks a lot more to ballads and slower stuff. This is in no particular order.

1. George Michael
Ok, go ahead and laugh, but I adore this man and his music. Recently he released his second greatest hits album, ‘25', with a few new singles including ‘Easier Affair’ (OMFG, Best Song Ever beeeyaaatcch!). I’d like to get it, but I am broke, and 90 % of the songs on the CD I already have on my Limited Gold Edition ‘Ladies & Gentlemen : The Greatest Hits’ Dual Disc set (It set me back 100 bucks). I also own his latest new CD, ‘Patience’, so yeah, if I had the cash I would buy ‘25' just for those two extra singles because I’m a mega fan, but I’m poor :(.
George Michael is one of the only artists whose music from long before I still enjoy, I have tons of other people I like now for their latest music but I despise their earlier records. That whole 80's thing turns me off in general.
Some of my favourite GM tunes ever :
1. An Easier Affair
2. Jesus To A Child
3. Father Figure
4. Desafinado (with Astrud Gilberto)
5. Outside
6. As (with Mary J. Blige)
7. Fast Love
8. Freedom 90 (oh please, how could you not love this one?)
9. Star People 97
10. Spinning The Wheel
11. Patience (its more like a poem set to music though)
12. Amazing
13. Cars and Trains
14. Round Here
15. Flawless (Go To The City)
16. Freeek! (LOLX)
17. Through
Ok, I know there are a lot, and there are actually more, but hey, there’s a reason I’m a mega fan :p
And if you are wondering, yes, this is the guy that got arrested for ‘lewd’ conduct in some bathroom in Beverly Hills, he is the gay dude, the one that does pot and has the super hot boyfriend. Personally, I don’t really care, and if I could only go to one concert ever in my whole life it would be tied between George Michael’s and the guy next on my list.
2. Chris Botti
 Yup, the trumpet player from Oprah. But in truth I’ve known about him for quite a while. He plays amazing jazz music, more modern and appealing, not like that cliched elevator music like Kenny G or whatever. He merges jazz with chill/house/lounge music, the latter of which is my favourite genre ever and produces a unique and amazing sound. It also helps that he’s cute :p. Anyway, I have a poster of him in my room, and doesn’t he look young? He’s actually 44.
Some of my favourite CB tunes ever (some tracks have vocalists) :
1. All Would Envy
2. Ever Since We Met
3. Indian Summer (Holy shit, BEST SONG EVER!!!)
4. No Ordinary Love
5. When I Fall In Love (Sigh...)
6. The Look Of Love (Holy shit, BEST SONG EVER!!!)
7. All the live tracks I can get my hands on. The Botti Band improvises during live shows and the fella plays like he’s having a heart attack! It’s amazing....
Sadly, I don’t have any of Chris’s CD’s yet. I’m trying to pool money together, because of all the CD’s I want his the most. And I’d give anything to go to his show, like, seriously. Mega fan, beeeyaatch!
3. Duran Duran
I know ok, go ahead and laugh. I have their latest CD ‘Astronaut’, and I really love a lot of their older stuff too.
Some of my favourite DD tunes :
1. Ordinary World
2. Come Undone
3. (Reach Up For The) Sunrise
4. What Happens Tomorrow
5. Bedroom Toys (I know how it sounds, but it’s the cutest track ever)
6. Ok, the whole Astronaut CD la...
4. Hard-Fi
An indie British band. I have their CD ‘Stars of CCTV’, They only  have one album thus far.
Some favourite H-F tunes
1. Hard to beat (OMFG, Best Song Ever!!!!!!)
2. Cash Machine
3. Tied Up Too Tight
4. Move On Now
5. Living For The Weekend (This is the anthem of our generation)
5. INXS
 Ok, ok, I know what you’re thinking. Yeah, this is the band that found their lead singer with the reality show Rockstar INXS, and I was really skeptical at first since I’m not a big fan of reality shows, but only, and only after I heard their singles I’ve fallen into this OMFGJDFORTUNEISAMAZING!! obsession. Not too big a fan of their earlier stuff though.
I have their CD ‘Switch’, which I won in a competition :p. And a part of my soul died when I couldn’t go for their concert in August :( .
Some favourite INXS tunes :
1. Devil’s Party
2. Pretty Vegas
3. Afterglow

The plant's root is used in traditional herbal supplements to increase testosterone levels in men. The herb contains ethalonic essence, which improves the work of chorionic gonadotropin, which in turn helps increasing testosterone levels. Higher testosterone in your male sizegenetics triggers an increase of muscle mass, stronger sizegenetics, better sexual performance, lesser sizegenetics fat, increased sizegenetics metabolism, lessened stress, and improved brain function and memory.No, that isn't only young guys in their own twenties who long to provide a bigger penis. Men of all ages are secretly asking themselves: How can I be making my penis bigger?.
