Nostalgic thinking.

I heard Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Christmas Song on the radio.


This made me think of when I was little. I had that record. A 45 in fact. I also listened the hell out of A Sesame Street Christmas.

I finally finished the book I've been reading.

I have struggled with this book, It has taken me forever to finish. It was a very complex read. It was also another cliff hanger. I will read book 3, Against All Things, when it comes out. Maybe my attention span will be better by then.

I can't wait to start the next Harry Potter!















In other news there was some nice sunshine this morning.
I was able to obtain Guitar Hero 2, Which so far for me is easier then GH3. I was able to trade in the extra GH3 I had from the controller conundrum. I also got Oblivion which is very neat.

This just makes you feel good:)

Aerosmith and Guns n Roses Mama Kin (OMG those shorts...EEWWW!)





It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,

And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.

The way I see it, you've got to say shit.

But don't forget to drop me a line.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.

Tell her where you've gone and been.

Livin' out your fantasy,

Sleeping late and smoking tea.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.

Tell her where you've gone and been.

Livin' out your fantasy,

Sleeping late and smoking tea.


Some new pictures!

It's been to long since I've.....

Listened to the radio. Since I got my MP3 player I have not listened to the radio. I like radio because of the new stuff:)

I liked this one. A bit sad perhaps. Good for my crappy mood.




I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you

And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new - yeah

I loved you with the a fire red-

Now it's turning blue, and you say...
I'm sorry like an angel
heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...



It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late whoaa ohhh...

I would hope that it is never too late!

Today's Message of the Day is:

Life is short, Break the rules, forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love Truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you Smile.

You might be a freak if when you walk into a room & they say, "Oh he/she saw you coming." You giggle & say, "Oh really?"

I just heard this one today

I'm really liking the stuff Santana is doing with all the different artists.


Santana Lyrics

I think the embed is broken:(

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,
It was love from above, that could save me from hell, She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,

how the devil himself could be pulled out of me, There were drums in the air as she started to dance,

Every soul in the room keeping time with there hands,
And we sang…


(Chorus)
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,

And the voices rang like the angels sing,

And singing…

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,

And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,

Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,


2nd Verse

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces,

we was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes,
No room left to move in between you and I,

We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night,
And we sang…

Another good song.

Modest Mouse - Gravity Rides Everything

Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that riding on your everything?

It isn't anything at all
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now

What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels?

No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan

Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet

I wanna go back to sleep
In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place

As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place

When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away

And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place

A night at the Kalamazoo State Theatre (Not the Roxbury)...Featuring Modest Mouse.

(Warning I did not take my camera *smack*, I could have & should have)


My friend Brian introduced me to Modest Mouse's music five years ago on our trip to Rhode Island. So he was the perfect companion for this adventure.




We arrived at the Kalamazoo State Theatre with a line of people outside waiting to get in. The concert was sold out. There were people asking if any one had extra tickets to sell. It was cold, but we were lucky we only had to wait for ten minutes at the most. The outside of the building looked just like a old down town movie house.












We sat in the balcony. We had a great view of the stage & the mosh pit. This Theatre is smaller than the Morris. It is not much bigger than a movie theater. The way this place is decorated is impressive, I loved it, all the way down to the shining stars in the ceiling. I will look for more shows here. It was also a very easy drive & parking.

















The first band was called Man Man. Ummm in Brian's words, "They were freaks & I don't mean that in a good sense.) This band gave screaming a new name. They were talented in that they played a variety of instruments & things like bowels & trash cans. I thought one song was catchy.

Modest mouse did not start till 9:30 due to a major stage change between bands. They played until 11:00 though. They covered all the good songs & many newer ones. The lead singer Isaac Brock has more energy that any performer I think I have seen. He seemed to perform more for himself than to the crowd in my opinion. I love how he can go from a loud (make you jump out of you seat loud) to a soft whisper voice alternately. The band members were many Isaac Brock - Eric Judy - Jeremiah Green - Tom Peloso - Johnny Marr - Joe Plummer. They played multiple instruments also. Johnny Marr was a cutie. He formerly played for the Smiths.

They were better in person than I thought they would be. It was loud & exciting. I loved it!



Man Man (Warning painful music to some) Engrish Bwudd Live


all i want to be is a shovely bubbly gobbly gook
a seagull stole him from his slow mama's hands aboard the boat the sweet louisa
and dropped him in the meadow-lands where wild hyenas taught him how to hunt old elephants
so he spent his formative years eating out badunkadunk
fee fi fo fum i smell the blood of an englishman
fee fi fo fum i smell the blood of an englishman
fee fi fo fum i smell the blood of an englishman
fee fi fo fum i smell the blood of an englishman
