Our favorite sewer rat Ke$ha claimed that she had a spiritual awakening. She believes she lived multiple past lives, and now wears a necklace around her neck containing her placenta to help with her spiritual sight. Vom-city. It's probably another publicity stunt, but we didn't forget about Ke$hawood, so the grimy pop sensation needs to chill. And if she needs to do a stunt, she should've pulled a Britney, because that necklace is just disgusting. But she still makes every minute of our lives party time, so who could hate her completely for being a dumbass nasty creep?
But let's talk about better music.
When you hear the words electronic pop, your mind goes straight to singers like Lady Gaga and the placenta-wearing Ke$ha. But what about bands like Owl City, The Postal Service, and the Hush Sound? They're more true to the electronic pop label. If you like those bands, listen to these: Plushgun (my favorite song is Just Impolite) and Playradioplay. Playradioplay is more like Hello Goodbye, but don't let that make you biased because they're actually talented. I found that electronic pop is either amazing or sucks. Good luck.
Also
I want to talk about a book. Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. So it's about 3 people who live separate lives; one is a secluded feminist sexually-charged park ranger, the other is a strong personality widowed farmers wife who studied moths, and the last is a grumpy old man. Kingsolver unites their lives through nature and paints a vivid picture of natural and social life in the Appalachian Mountain sphere. It's lovely. If you read her before, you know how powerful her writing is. I think this is one of her best novels along with the Poisonwood Bible. Look up reviews and read the book, you won't regret it. Look, I even pulled up a review for you.
[She] animate[s] a wide-ranging discussion of everything from organic farming to reengaging with life.
and
Sex, the driving force that throws opposites suddenly and intimately together, provides a metaphor for man's dysfunctional relationship with nature that unifies the three stories and their characters.
-Elizabeth Judd
Well oh shit, doesn't that sound just wonderful?
Lastly
Since we've been talking about creation from Ke$ha's placenta to Barbara Kingsolver's sexual ties to nature or whatever, let's talk about someone that's dead. Sacagawea .

Doesn't she look ridiculous? Well, she isn't. She's a badass, and here's why:
We all know the Lewis and Clark story blah blah blah. But before those two guys came around, she was married off to a French trapper at the age of 13 along with another wife named Otter Woman. For real. Then when she was delivering her baby, she crushed rattlesnake rattles to make the birth quicker. Right out of labor, L and C made her their guide. They would've been killed from natives or starvation if it wasn't for her. She discovered numerous routes, which actually became a large portion of the Northern Pacific Railway later on. And then people don't know if she lived till 1812 or 1884. For all we know, she could actually still be alive and mastered the whole live forever thing. Angela Lansbury did, she's ancient, so why can't badass Sacagawea?
Peace
Sweet Angela Lansbury burn, dude.
