"So I'll meet you there tomorrow

If I can have you by myself."

I fell in love with this man many years ago through my speakers.  Then I fell in love again summer of 2009 when I got the chance to meet him.  I really don't like when I read or hear bad things about this man.  He is simply amazing.  One of the most talented musicians of our time.  He is purely brilliant in so many ways.  This song shows it, just listen.

Although I am not 100% against SB 1070, I am not 100% for it.  I really respect that Conor as well as other bands are taking a stand for those who are taken from their home in America and shipped back to Mexico.  Don't know about this?  Check it.... www.thesoundstrike.net

D.R.U.G.S.

Apparently this is what happens when you mix Craig Owens of Chiodos with Mat Good of From First to Last.  You get a fucked up way of looking at life and a crazy mix of the two bands put together.  Kind of scared.

Christmas Wish List

The items, not the men affiliated with them.  Well, they would be nice too ;)

Shaant

One time, at the Mall of America, he ran into me.  It was probably because he couldn't see due to his shitty hair style of choice.  He did apologize and ask if I was okay though.

Cute is What We Aim For played on random today.  His voice...uh did he never reach puberty or is his voice really just like that? haha.  Used to LOVE them.

Zak Bagans

I kind of have this crazy mad crush on this too buff, spiky hair, "DUDE" saying, all black wearin, 33 year old piece of a man.

Dear John

the movie, and I have a few things in common.

I have dated two Johns (Jon).
I was dating one when the movie came out.
Savannah and Sarah both start with SA and end with AH
Savannah lived in apt 232 at school...so did I.
I have an ex boyfriend in the army (buuut we don't write letters and he isn't one of the Johns)
Savannah loves working with Autistic kids...so do I.

hmm a bit weird.

Weirdest feeling in the world:  Not supporting someone for the first time in 5 1/2 years.

De-Pressing

This is
With Who:
What:
When:
Why:
Where:
I am supposed to be tonight.
But I am not going to be.
For the first time in 6 months I will not be here.
I feel like there is a big hole in my life.
I wish I could be the bigger person and go.
I can't though.

Thanksgiving.

A lot of things have happened since last Thanksgiving.
The one thing that has remained the same is family.
I am so thankful for that.

I miss...

My old work.
and
My boys.

i don't....

Write anymore.
Mostly because everything I have wanted to write lately is rude, mean, degrading, horrible, ruthless, or just plain lame.
I want to start again.
There is one problem, I have no good inspiration.
Maybe the upcoming new year will bring some.

J Mac is all grown up

Nick Cave = Love

Cheer up!

Are you having a bad day? Watch this and laugh, cause I know you will.
A chubby Adam singing about pets on a kiddie show, how can this not make you laugh?

New Music

I know its not Tuesday, and i know all of these did not just come out but I'm just now getting around to blogging about a few of the new albums I am in desperate need of....


Good Old War - Good Old War
Elizabeth & the Catapult -  The Other Side of Zero
Teddy Geiger - Living Alone EP (Where has this kid been? he went away for a long time and now is back!  Kind of excited about this)
Brendan James - Brendan James
Andrew Belle - The Ladder

Invisible Children

If you can watch this documentary and have it not rip at your heart and make you tear up, you don't have a heart.
This is my dream.  To help them.  To go to Africa and make a difference.  To help stop the pain.  If even if its only for a day, an hour, a minute.  I will...one day.

Bahaha

I love this kid.  So bummed I had no one to go with me to Iowa City the other day to see him. AAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDD just found out like 30 seconds ago that he was in Ames tonight. Could have gone. Damn it!!!!

Playing my absolute favorite song.

Brand new song about his relationship with his girlyfriend, Megan.

Back.

After two weeks of not having a computer, I am going to be blogging all night long.
So much to say.
So much to write.
Oh how I have missed thee.

21st Birthday

These two made my 21st birthday so much fun.  I miss them.  A recreation of this night is needed.

Pre Halloween

Sometimes I can be really conceded and take a million pictures of myself.  Trying out my hair for my halloween costume.  

iPod shuffle and stories

Apparently my iPod knew how crappy my life has been this week so it decided to cheer me up in some ways and make me sad in others.  I put my iPod on shuffle on the way to and from class today and this is what I heard and the stories that go with them:


Band/Song:  The Good Life - Your Birthday Present
Story:  Lauren and I were and sometimes still are obsessed with this talented Omaha band and we were dying to see them.  Luckily enough, a few years back 2007 maybe?  they came to our little Vaudeville Mews and played a terrific show with Georgie James.  One of the best shows I have been too.  Small venue, small crowd and up close and personal with Tim Kasher.  What more can you ask for?

Band/Song:  Chiodos - I Didn't Say I was Powerful, I Said I was a Wizard
Story:  2006 at the House of Bricks Chiodos came and Lauren, Kenzie, maybe Shauna? and I went to see the then amazing lineup that made this band.  We were standing near the front during their set in which I looked longingly at Craig Owens because I thought he was drop dead gorgeous and a brilliant lyricist.  After the show, we were just chillin by the bar when Craig came up to me and started talking about how he saw me during their set and loved that I was wearing a Modern Life is War sweatshirt.  He then proceeded to tell me that he had caught them out in LA not that long ago and asked if I had ever seen them live.  I remember laughing and saying, "yeah, I've seen them a few times." (What an understatement).  I got my picture with him and then Kenzie asked me why I took a picture with a stranger.  Classic Kenzie :)

Band/Song:  Saosin - I Never Wanted Too
Story:  I was 16, spending every freaking weekend at the House of Bricks with my gang and one night our beloved Saosin (Cove as singer, not Anthony) were playing.  I don't really remember much of the show.  However, after the show we were all chilling outside and Cove comes out, stonned out of his mind, and started talking to us.  I was super shy back then and was scared to talk to him.  When we were getting ready to leave I finally decided to tell Cove the show was amazing.  I walked away after I said it and halfway down the sidewalk Cove yells back at me and tells me thank you and waves.

Band/Song:  Modern Life Is War - First and Ellen
Story:  I do not even know what story to tell.  I've known these boys for 5 1/2 years and there has been awesome and fun times and sad times and everything in between.  I guess one of my favorite nights was the practice space night.  Lauren is the only one that knows the story and would appreciate it but all I have to say is...Peeing outside, tractor tires, screw drivers, talking about how our parents don't understand,  "Should I Stay or Should I Go", and my stairs.  

Band/Song: Breath Carolina - The Birds and The Bees
Story:  Senior year maybe?  Sydney and I went to see The Secret Handshake and these fellows opened up for them.  Before the show started a random dude came up to us, looked at us and said "hello pretty ladies"  gave us hugs and went on his way.  With no idea who the dude was we laughed at it.  Soon the show started and this random dude was up there singing his little heart out.

Band/Song:  Dashboard Confessional - Reason to Believe
Story:  Junior year Dashboard, a beloved band of mine since I was about 12 came to Iowa and I was finally old enough to drive to shows.  So, Lauren, Rachel, Laura and I went to this lovely show.  It was cold out, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground and we were wearing our 'cutest' outfits thinking maybe Chris would see us from up on stage.  There were no cameras allowed in the venue and I tried sneaking mine it twice and got caught both times.  I had to run back to the car and put it away for good and then finally got into the venue.  Halfway through Dashboard's set, Chris says to the bodyguards, "If they have cameras, who cares.  Let them take pictures!"  I was so mad.  But the show was beyond amazing.

Stop

asking me if I am okay.
I'm not. I'm not going to be for awhile.
Used and tossed.
If you know what that feels like, you'll know I'm not okay.

So true.

"This isn't what I want but I'll take the high road. Maybe its because I look at everything as a lesson or because I don't want to walk around angry. Or maybe its because I finally understand. There are things we don't want to happen but have to accept. Things we don't want to know but have to learn and people we cant live without but have to let go." - JJ on Criminal Minds

Love this.

JT is the maaan

This Time For Africa

I want this shirt. Really bad.

Inception

Everyone knows my undying love for Leo.  I can not believe it took me this long to go watch Inception.
Not sure if I want to go to sleep after just watching this.  Kind of felt like I was on drugs after watching it.
It was a great movie, don't get me wrong.  But damn, talk about messing with one's mind.

In the words of JMo, Can't Leonardo DiCaprio make a movie with a real ending?

Crush

I kind of have a huge crush on Michael Franti.
This song has been on repeat since his album came out last week.
Such a great message.
