So in other news, I got into my very first car crash. No worries, I'm totally alright, and so is the other driver, but our cars got a major beating. In a nutshell, here's what happened: She was coming out of a neighborhood and didn't see me because her windows were foggy (this was bright and early Monday morning) and assumed no one was on the road. So, she went.

Problem was that I WAS on the road, and since she decided to go last second, I had to swerve out of the way so we wouldn't collide. As you see from the picture, I didn't succeed. I swerved so that I wouldn't have T-boned her (which would have been BAD BAD BAD) and in the process I tore off the entire front end of her car and destroyed the entire right side of mine. Her car was totalled and wont even start, while mine has a jerky wheel and needs: both passenger side doors replaced as well as the headlight, side mirror, and front bumper.

So sad. I love my car and now I have to wait for it to be repaired. I LOVE INSURANCE THOUGH. Her insurance covers it all and I don't have to pay a penny. I'm just glad no one got hurt. Cars can be replaced, people cannot ;)

On another note: The Cobra Starship concert was great!! [Click in between the brackets to see some pictures.] I went with [my friend Taylor.] We saw [Sing It Loud], [Hit The Lights], [Forever The Sickest Kids] and of course, [Cobra Starship!] We even got some kickass new [tshirts.] Haha, we had a great time, every band was high energy and played well.

In other news:
- Because I'm bored, here are five random things about me:
1.) I'm addicted to gossip blog ONTD. I check it daily
2.) I have about a dozen blue jackets/blazers/and hoodies. Blue. They're all blue. All of themmm.
3.) I honestly can't remember the last day I DIDN'T drink a Coca-Cola.
4.) I prefer typing to writing and I prefer writing in pen than with pencil.
5.) I have a morbid fear of being alone in a parking garage. Or a stairwell. Especially at night.

- As usual, here's what I'm listening to:
+ "If You Seek Amy" and "Circus"- Britney Spears (Leaked singles off the new album. I love them, I'm a shameless Britney fan.)
+ "Mercury" - Bloc Party (New Bloc Party is VERY different from old Bloc Party. I love it though?)
+ "My Worst Nightmare" - Forever The Sickest Kids (Finally saw these guys live at the Cobra Starship concert, they were great!)
+ "Campus" - Vampire Weekend (I'm a new fan to Vampire Weekend. This song is my favorite.)

Thanks again everyone!

*New site layout! It was about time for something new huh? This layout's called "Mainframe," I do hope you like it. I'm personally loving the navigation at the top of the page. (Honestly, how cool is that?) I tried to keep it simple too, there's not much in terms of graphics but I think it makes the page look a lot cleaner

^Check out Rewindd.com/halloween for some Halloween themed things for your profile! Most are fan favorites from last year's Halloween update, but expect some new things soon.

So as you guys know, it's my senior year and things are crazier than ever. (I know, I know. I say that a lot...) I'm getting myself and the site back together though! I'm still super busy, but it's getting a little easier now that I have a few less things to keep up with. (ex. the temporarily closed Rewindd Store.) I just wanted to let you all know that Rewindd has not been forgotten about. It's just that college preparation kinda takes priority. I'm sure you understand that, what with it being my future and all

In other news:
• I'm seeing Cobra Starship in concert on November 11th! They've quickly become one of my favorite bands and I can't be more excited to see them live. I've heard they're not as great live, but I don't care all that much because I know their concerts are famous for being so high energy.

• Halloween Horror Nights was a lot of fun this year. I went twice actually, once with my cousin and once with some friends. The actual "Bloody Mary" haunted house wasn't all too amazing, but the zombie-filled "Dead Exposure" and "Scary Tales" were more than great. Also, did anyone go to Howl-O-Scream this year? I'm curious how it went.

• As usual, here's what I'm currently listening to. All certified to get you going and keep you dancingggg:
+ "Spiralling" - Keane (Kinda quirky, but I'm loving the new upbeat Keane.)
+ "The Queen and I" - Gym Class Heroes (Heard this one while cruising in my friends car. Older but still good.)
+ "One Day Robots Will Cry" - Cobra Starship (One of my favorite Cobra songs. I play it religiously in my car.)
+ "Can You Keep A Secret?" - The Cab (So much win. So much.)
+ "Womanizer" - Britney Spears (I'll admit it, I'm a Brit fan. This is crazy club stuff. I'm sorry, I. can't. resist.)

Alright, that's about all I've got to say. Sorry I haven't been able to reply to everyone's comments in the last couple posts. I'm starting fresh with that though, you'll definitely get a reply from now on. Thanks again everyone! I know there haven't been many new things, but I'm glad you're still visiting and showing your support. New things coming soon

**PS: If you have an account with CreateBlog.com, please leave Rewindd a comment? Pretty please?

I don't really know why I find this so exciting, I just do. My favorite crew off MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, Fanny Pak, is currently using a layout from your very own Rewindd.com! (I've been checking their MySpace religiously because I wanna buy some merch when it goes on sale.) But yeah! Screenshot time:

Summer '08 is close to over for me you guys

My senior year starts up on August 18th, and I gotta say it's bittersweet. I'm stoked because I'm almost out of this annoying little thing they call high school, but sad because I'm never gonna see 90% of my friends ever again. I'm sure you all know where I'm coming from....bittersweet, just bittersweet.

On another topic, I've been moving nonstop these past couple weeks. You may not see it because Rewindd.com has been slow lately, but let me just say: 1.) I worked six out seven days this week at Hollister, 2.) I had plans with friends four of those days, 3.) I drove up to Tampa Saturday and successfully made my back pain worse, 4.) I'm busy reading two books I need to finish for my English IV class and Econ class this next Monday, 5.) I'm still scrambling to keep up with the Rewindd Store orders that are coming in, and 6.) I'm still getting everything together for school in one week. So much to do so little time!!

This time of year is especially hectic so I hope you all understand why I haven't been updating as regularly. I'm absolutely exhausted, (what's new?) but I'm still gonna try and deliver some new stuff each week. It'll be pretty random since school is starting back up, but feel free to comment with your ideas and requests so I've got something to go off. Send in your thoughts, it gives me something to focus on

In other news:
• Since I always enjoy sharing what I'm listening to, here are my latest song obsessions:
+ "Flux" - Bloc Party (Heard it in Hollister, fell in love)
+ "My Moves Are White (Hot That Is)" - Cobra Starship (Another Hollister tune, great party song.)
+ "The Enemy" - The White Tie Affair (A mix between Panic! and Cobra Starship)
+ "15 Step" - Radiohead (Not for everyone, but relaxed and cool nonetheless)
+ "Pocket" - Sam Sparro (Electro-club-pop, I love Sam Sparro's debut album)

• Also, is anyone else frustrated over the elimination of Fanny Pak from ABDC? MTV rigged the whole thing again to put the two best crews against each other and to keep the weaker of the three. Same thing happened last season! With my favorite crew then, Kaba Modern! This just sucks. Why do my favorite crews always end up in third place when they deserve a spot in the finale!? akjdfkasdjfaskdf.

• Lastly, shoutout to all my Hollister work-buds! Especially Miguel (always telling me to slow down, hahaha), Meghan (hilarious and just plain awesome), Kaila (my fellow stockroom slave), Stephanie (sweethearttt), Taylor (funny & chill), Ryan (hilarious x2), Belinda (another sweetheart), Lexie (new buddy!), and Mitchell (likes my music & is overall fab). You guys make folding clothes and dealing with crazy customers for five hours everyday worthwhile

(Let me take this moment to shamelessly advertise the ZA!D/Rewindd MySpace.
There are some extras at the MySpace that only profile friends can view. You'll also
receive weekend bulletins whenever I make a larger update! So...add it sometime, haha.)
+ last name "rewindd" to add +

Ahhh, ok so working at Hollister is so much more tiring than you'd think. But before I get to that....I've worked two days since my last post, and so far things are going well! The managers are all really nice (and pretty funny) and have been nothing but awesome since I've started. This one manager, Marlon, worked everyday this week without a single day off. I want more hours as much as the next guy, but that's Hollister overkill. I'll stick to my part-time-couple-shifts-a-week-gig, thank you very much.

So, what's so tiring about working at Hollister? Two words, USR and BACKSTOCK. See, when we sell an item, we need to refill it (so to speak.) That empty spot in the store needs to be restocked so we can continuing selling things. There's this list of things we sell and it's my job to make sure those items get refilled. Today was super-busy for some reason and I spent two and half hours just refilling those clothes. It was insane. Now, backstock....adsfjsdg, backstock is a gigantic pile in the backroom where all the extra unpurchased clothing goes. THE CLOTHES YOU LEAVE IN THE FITTING ROOM AND AT THE REGISTER, YEAH, THAT. There was soooo much to put back today; I must've restocked at least a hundred different items back onto the shelves. Needless to say, it's a time-consuming task. Think about people like me next you don't feel like putting something back where you got it from

Overall though, working at Hollister is simple and fun. You can't be lazy though. (Three people were fired today because of their long-term laziness. Good for me, cause now I get an extra shift this week!) It also depends on the people you work with too. Luckily I haven't had to deal with any (as Diddy would say) bitchassness.

In other news:
• the Rewindd Store is going nicely. I've made a few awesome graphics that I'm really proud. If you've got a couple dollars to spare and want me to whip up something for you/your site, give it a look here. Thanks a ton!

• I've been getting new music like crazy lately. My favorite songs of the moment include:
+ "Just Dance" - Lady Gaga
+ "Chasing Pavements" - Adele
+ "Sick" - Sam Sparro
+ "We Break The Dawn" - Michelle Williams
(I recommened all these songs. They're so great.)

• Ok, America's Best Dance Crew. Any other Fanny Pak fans out there?! I've been a huge fan since the casting special and have been voting like crazy every week to keep them in the game. Did you see them completely smash the speed up challenge?! America needs a slap if that crew is in the bottom again. A giant, stop the presses, shock to the system, bitch slap. (I love this crew in case you couldn't tell.)

Mkay, still workin' each week to bring you new content! Keep checking the updates section of the sidebar for all that's new. I update it everytime something new is added. Thanks again for the support everyone
