“We keep on waiting, waiting on the world to change. One day our generation is gonna rule the population. So we keep on waiting, waiting on the world to change.” ~john mayer

I’m listening to John Mayer’s new CD, Continuum, right now. It hasn’t been released yet, but of course it’s already leaked. It’s not bad. My favorite song is "Dreaming with a Broken Heart." It's beautiful. I also like "I'm Gonna Find Another You." The album has a very similar sound to his previous albums, but I think he’s matured. Of course, to completely discount that maturity statement I just provided, you should read the new Rolling Stone interview with him. Here are a few highlights (not for those easily offended):

On porn:
“I bought myself a Playgirl once. I just loved the feeling that there was a porno you really, really weren’t supposed to have…Not to say I wouldn’t enjoy the energy of watching a guy and girl have sex. I think I’d vomit out of pure arousal. Have you ever seen a guy and girl have sex in person?”
On press interviews:
"I’m at a point right now where the more I talk, the more I’m going to say something in the next twelve months that’s going to damage my career.”
On Brangelina:
“Everyone thinks Brad Pitt has it great because he married Angelina Jolie. I think he has it terrible, because when Angelina Jolie is giving you a blow job, what do you tip your head back and think of to help you finish? You have nothing left – just Jesus on a polar bear in the middle of the snow saying, ‘You greedy motherf-cker, I’ve got nothing for you.’”
On being on tour:
“I slept with, like, three girls a week.”
On his private parts:
“I’m not worried about how small my penis is – I’m worried about how dark it is. I have a Dominican penis. My penis hit six home runs last year; my penis wears shoes without socks.”
On the media:
“Everybody right now in the world of entertainment is a p-ssy. A p-ssy. They’re all so sensitive. What the f-ck happened?”

On another musical note, the new album I REALLY cannot wait for is Sam’s Town by The Killers. I’ve heard a few of the songs and they’re fantastic. I don’t think I can wait until October 3d for it to be released. Did anyone see them on the VMAs? They closed the show with "When You Were Young" and really tore it up. They're one of the best live bands I've ever seen. I talk about their Central Park concert all the time because it was such an amazing experience for me; I can't even describe what it's like being in the front row, directly in front of them (making eye contact every once in awhile), singing along to all their songs and being caught up in the indescribeable energy that they generate.

I guess I haven’t updated since being back at school. I’ve been pretty busy. So far I’m loving my senior year, though. My apartment is fantastic, my roommates are amazing, my classes are (for the most part) interesting and manageable…so everything is going really well. I miss MTV, though.
