Another anthem for my life

Maybe, in the Future

I will come back around to myself. Feeling a little like a vision of my former self lately. Anyhow, good song:

This dude can take me on a magic carpet ride anytime

Why I love music, and yes, I know posting song lyrics is a bit of a blog-post copout

But today is just one of those days that I need this kind of positive thinking reminder. I *heart* this woman, and I *heart* this song.

Am I faithful, am I strong, am I good enough to belong
In your reverie a perfect girl
Your vision of romance is cruel and all along I played the fool
All your expectations bury me

[Chorus]
Don't worry you will find the answer if you let it go
Give yourself some time to falter
But don't forgo know that you're loved no matter what
And everything will come around in time

I own my insecurities I try to own my destiny
That I can make or break it if I choose
But you take my words and twist them 'round
Til I'm the one who brings you down
Me me feel like I'm the one to blame for all of this...

[Chorus]
Don't worry you will find the answer if you let it go
Give yourself some time to falter
But don't forgo know that you're loved no matter what
And everything will come around in time

You need everybody with you on your side
Know that I am here for you but I hope in time
You'll find yourself alright alone
You'll find yourself with open arms
You'll find yourself you'll find yourself in time

The riot in my heart decides to keep me open and alive
I have to take myself away from you
'Cause I can't compete I can't deny there's nothing that I didn't try
How did I go wrong in loving you

[Chorus]
Don't worry you will find the answer if you let it go
Give yourself some time to falter
But don't forgo know that you're loved no matter what
And everything will come around in time

Codependency, anyone?

(Warning: Rant Ahead)

I was watching Glee on Hulu (my favorite thing to do on a Saturday night) when I came across this song:



Don't get me wrong, I like Kelly Clarkson as much as the next person. OK, that was a lie. Actually, I don't like her at all. That's beside the point. Actually, I hate her even a little more after listening to this song. A line in the song actually states

"I know I have issues but you are pretty messed up too."

Um, if anyone actually said this to me, I'm pretty sure that would be the end of things. Ka-put. Deal breaker to end all deal breakers. Another winner lyric?

"Being with you is so dysfunctional/I really shouldn't miss you but I can't let you go."

WTF? I don't care if we belong together, if the only reason you can come up with is "well, I can't do any better than you, so I'm here because I'm lonely and desperate" then I DON'T need any of it. And neither do you. Go find something better and let me do the same. Thank you. What kind of message are we sending to girls everywhere? Kelly, I know you can do better. I may not be able to write the killer girl power song, but you've won American Idol, so you are golden. Go write something that shows that you are the strong, intelligent female I thought you were (or that I just want you to be.)

In case you felt like you haven't wasted enough time during your day

This video is precious.

I love this song!!! Please let me get what I want...

Hopeonatenspeed on YouTube is awesome

Add her as a friend. Otherwise known as Paige in the real world, or Frenzy in the camp world, she's in South Korea, teaching English, and living life as an alien. Have a mentioned incredibly talented?



Check her out. Friend her, share it.

Youtube is a copout, but I'm going to do it anyway

Because this is one of my favorite songs of all time...

Sometimes A Girl Just Needs A Good Cry

And sometimes a good song about crying too.

Bonus that this is a HOUSE montage.

Awesome video that Em posted on my facebook wall

No clue who they are, but I really like this song!

I think this is HILAROUS.

Great break-up song!

I've really started to appreciate the talent that Taylor Swift has contributed to the music world, even though she is only 18 years old. I particularly like this song, because, well, it fits my bitterness as of late.

A somewhat cynical view on relationships...

...but since when don't I love a good dose of cynicism! Kinda funny!

Contest within a Contest entry

I'm happy to announce my second Perfect Fifths entry on this blog in a row. As I've mentioned before, I can't do a video, that's why I post the genius winning ones, like the one in the previous entry (from Georgia no less!) and this one:



As long as I'm on a posting roll, I post the final winning video here:



These folks have gotten and advance copy of Perfect Fifths, so I want my chance, naturally. The final story in the saga goes on sale April 14, but is available from places like Amazon.com for pre-order NOW! I'm doing this shamelessly, and only judging myself a little.

Go to Megan McCafferty's website and link to what she tells you to for a chance to win your own copy. Contest details are here.

Good Luck!

No, I still can't believe it's actually 2009

Here's something that will help me (and you, dear loyal readers) accept and cope.

Hulu how I love thee, let me count the ways

This is pretty funny, or as funny as the new SNL can be. Just thought I'd share with my lovely readers.

A Blast from the Past, take IV

In a recent conversation with a housemate at a Halloween Party, I came to the realization that I am quite a bit older than the majority of my housemates.

Me: Clever costume, I love foxes!
PumpkinMaster Housemate: Thanks! It's all vintage and completely under $3.
Me: Great. You know, the more I look at it, the more it reminds me of the fox from Zoobilee Zoo. What's his name? Oh...Bravo! That's it! Bravo the Fox!
PumpkinMaster Housemate: (stares blankly) Uh...who's that? What's Zoobilee Zoo?

This is when I realized that yes, I must be older than dirt. This girl was a mere junior at Augsburg College, putting her birth year at roughly 1988 or 1989. Yikes! Of course she wouldn't remember such a gem of a show. How silly of me to remember and bring it up in casual convsersation at such a Halloween Party. So, to educate the masses of youngsters out there, I have included a clip. Enjoy.



Who was your favorite character? I was always a fan of the journalistic, scholarly cockateil (though she was rather annoying at second glance) and the leopard at the anchor desk.

Why am I posting again? Oh yeah, because I don't want to work on my NOVEL. Damn it. Back to work. Help.

Amazing Dawn French scene

From the movie LOVE AND OTHER DISASTERS. Which, if you haven't seen it, don't. This scene is all that is worthy of the movie, really. It is a great scene. And it is my next big acting class audition piece. LOL.

Completely untrue, rediculous, makes me livid

Grrrrrrr....
