The Archive: First Entry

Now, I know that I'm definitely not the only person that browses 9gag and a plethora of other websites from time to time looking for random amusing things to keep my tired or bored brain active.  Sometimes you just need a good pick-me-up on a bad day and or you're just checking these sites out of habit.  Myself, my facebook page is bombarded from all the pages I've liked with funny images or videos that are trending across the net and I've decided that I'm sick of having a little chuckle then forgetting the image or video ever existed seconds later.  If I find anything interesting or amusing I'll be sticking it under archive entries to keep myself amused in intellectual dry spells and perhaps even liven up this blog with a few laughs.  Depending on the link I'll give a little anecdotal to go along with each, if I can be bothered.  I'll also add songs that I've been addicted to so that I never lose track of them.  For some reason it's only letting me post things as links at the moment so I guess I'll have to come back and fix things a bit at a later date.

First up is Gangnam style.

When I was sent this by a Norwegian friend of mine she thought I'd have a good laugh at it and leave it alone but I literally listened to this song constantly, about a hundred times before realising it reminded me of a friend, once I sent it to him it basically became a running joke between us and won't be forgotten for a long while.



Immediately Point at Face.

After a couple of games of Star Wars themed dungeons and dragons this little image cropped up and made me laugh out loud.


The Sanctuary.

This song is a favourite for when I'm taking a few hours to just sit and write.  I don't know why but it always makes me feel a little sad.  Even still, it's from one of my favourite game series of all time and it's just a great piece of music.


Who doesn't like Batman memes?

A nice take on the villains of Gotham.

Worth a giggle.

A pretty sweet College Humour parody of Batman and Two-face.



Pretty Powerful Stuff.  Agnes Obel, Riverside.

This is a song that will never lose its edge for me.  There's just something about the way the piano and the vocalist's tone that gets me every time.


The Slender Man

About a year ago, maybe more, I started watching the Marble Hornets series and it's truly awesome.  No budget horror series that will never stop scaring me.



I'm hoping that these archive entries will serve as a sort of time capsule so that some day far from now I can come back and have a good laugh at all the memories that these images bring back and hopefully the archive section will see to it that I never forget some of my favourite music that's sent to me by friends.

Until next time.
