I’m very sorry. I have been a really bad webby. I just haven’t had much to blog about or say, to be honest. Ive just been busy with my ministry work and sleeping lol. I’m out pretty much all day then am so tired I just go to bed. Boring I know, but that’s about it.

Has anyone been watching American Idol? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE David Archuleta! I’m obsessed with the kid lol he’s awesome. I have to say, I was never big on Idol, I always thought it sucked, but because of him Ive kept watching and I hope, truly hope some stupidity doesn’t stand in the way of giving him the title of AI, which he deserves. What do ya’ll think? Check him on Youtube.com if you haven’t yet seen him. He really is AMAZING, (check out his version of IMAGINE, done last week 2/26/08). David Cook did an awesome job with “HELLO”, that was a really great version of an already cool song. So, all in all tonight was pretty cool!

It’s been so beautiful here that I was able to get this outdoor mall the other day. It was so nice, quite beautiful. I got to hear some live music as well. It was wonderful. Speaking of, do any of you play an instrument? if so what kind? You all have heard me talk about my love for Guitar, I’m sure, hopefully one day I can learn but I must say it’s a lot harder then it seems.

So, that was a boring post, I know. I’m sorry. I just have nothing to share lol. Maybe I’ll be able to think of something of more substance soon. Thanks for visiting nontheless

GET HAPPY.. YEAH YEAH!!

OK, I’m totally excited because my mom and I settled plans to go to Las Vegas AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! We are going to go see CHER. My mom LOVES her so we heard that she is doing her show in LV and now we are going. I can’t begin to express my happiness. I can’t wait to get out of here, even if it is only for 2 days it’s going to be so freaking cool. I have wanted an excuse to go to Vegas (I don’t gamble though lol I just like LV) and to get out of California for a little while and now I got it. I’m so, so, so, so HAPPY.

OK, so if that isn’t the bestest thing here comes the coolest part. I am going to another concert, but I can’t decide on which, so I WANT input from ya’ll. I have to decide by 10 am today so if you could go see someone who would it be: MICHAEL BUBLE‘ or KAYNE WEST? OK, now I LOVE, LOVE them both! but sadly, I can’t afford to go to both, unless some crazy miracle happens (you might see some paid posts from me so I can somehow end up at both LOL) anyway, I’ve loved Michael since I don’t know when. I mean not only is he drool-worthy but who doesn’t love all those wonderful standards? “Save the last dance for me”? Wooh, to see that man in person might just kill me. Now, Kayne, OMMM I know I would party down and have a BLAST seeing him! can we say

“NOW I AINT SAYING SHE A GOLDIGGER!! BUT SHE AINT MESSING WITH NO BROKE, BROKE BROKE, GET DOWN GIRL GO ‘HEAD GET DOWN”

*screams* I haven’t been this excited in a while. I am genuinely bouncing off the walls. I would totally rock out with him. Oooh, I can’t forget to mention an added bonus to THAT concert is RIHANNA N.E.R.D AND LUPE FIASCO *squeels*

“UNDER MY UMBRELLA ELLLA!! ELLLA!! EH, EH, EH!!”

OK, so overall, I lean towards Kayne, he’s cheaper and you get more for what you pay LOL. I mean he’s only 40$ to see and Michael is close to 60$. I’m going alone to both (truly I’d rather go alone anyway, I don’t have to worry about anyone else and I can usually relax better LOL) so I only have to pay either 40$ or 60$ but I don’t know which to do. (If I can’t do both hehe, I’m still gonna try) So what do you think?

I’m so sad cause it’s such an amazing time for music right now, and I can’t afford to do it all. OH! wait! one more concert I’m going to, even if I have to sell my right eye, is ALICIA KEYS. I found out she’s coming here ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I wan’t to cry! So, if all goes well, in a span of 2 months I’ll be seeing Kayne West, Alicia Keys, Cher and maybe Michael Buble - can I just die now?

Ive been so bad I know. I just have had little to no desire to be online let alone blog. I think I’m coming off the whole month of Nov blogging deal lol I might be drained of any good thought or idea when it comes to blogging. I really would like to blog about the whole top 100 songs of the 90’s that VH1 did but I’m too lazy right now, maybe soon enough.

I found it interesting I got no comments on the last blog lol hope I didnt freak anyone out, I just was expressing my thoughts and feelings. I can be pretty open sometimes, maybe extreme in my way of expression so of course what i say is genuine but of course I would hope people are not fearful to say something because of it as well. Anyway…

I’m going to be in a play this weekend. I’m a little nervous but I’m excited. I’ll have to tell ya’ll about it.

I broke out my Eminem cd’s last night and I realized something. I really miss him. There are very few artists that actually pull me away from singing their songs to actually make me stop and think. He is one of those that as much as I can “rap” along with his songs I also always end up forgetting about the rapping and focus on what exactly is being said. Now, I know a lot of people are of the mindset that he wasn’t lyrically profound, in the sense that he isn’t using words or even phrases that are “mind-blowing” and in all honesty they are probably right but there is something about the way that he expressed himself and in the passion that he had in executing those words that just makes me stop and actually listen. I really believe there is a deep message in all the “foolishness” of his music. I really think he tried to intertwine humour with the reality to make it easier to digest or at the least easier to understand or maybe he did that to actually get people to LISTEN. Radio friendly is how I see it, maybe so that it will be exposed to more, which in turn means more hear the actual message. I really believe he deserves a lot more credit then he was given. There is so much more depth to the things he said then maybe came across. I know it reaches me and I know I can sympathize, but then again I’m not a normal person lol.

“Falling Down” - Duran Duran

It’s VERY late and truthfully, I got nothing really important to say. I did add a lovely little music player which you can listen to if you’d like. It has a mix of songs that I like/love. I have a crazy mix of taste so I think there is a little bit for almost anyone in that playlist. Thanks to Kristi for the cool idea (I saw it on her site), enjoy.

<——— The link is to the left (RADIO). ha… that’s so old.

Oh yay for finally passing 10,000 visitors. Im stunned I even got close lol. I think it’s totally awesome. I wish I would have prepared something for the event, but I didn’t so as with anything I’ll just say YAY and find my way to where Im at my best and that’s sleeping ha!

Bon nuit.

So I said I would blog about the AMA’s what did you all think? How did you feel about Daughtry and Carrie Underwood being the big winners? I was pretty cool with the overall show. I think it was rather boring though, to be honest. I think I much more prefer the Grammys there more of an “edge” so to speak with them then the AMA’s. I loved Alicia Keys’ performance, it was AMAZING. I hope to see her live one day. I also enjoyed Rascal Flatts. I think my favourite performance was Chris Brown though, that was one awesome set! The dancing upside down, was too cool lol I’m like can I try that? Another cool moment was Beyonce doing her song with the country flavour, that was different, but fresh. I like the ability of artists to interchange styles and make it work, as Tim Gunn would say lol! (reference to my love for Project Runway). Nonetheless, it was a decent show. Nothing to scream over, but all in all a good watch. What did you think?

Im so excited. Like a kid in a candy store because I found out the live show Walking With Dinosaurs is coming here and you better know I’m going to be sitting front row and center for this awesome experience. I love, love, love learning about dinosaurs and being able to experience this is going to be too cool for words. I got to see a bit of a preview on TV tonight and the effects and the way they created these “animals” is amazing. 6 years and 20 million dollars went into creating this show and from what I saw it was totally worth it. They look so real and they are HUGE. I cannot wait to go! I know its lame, it really is. But I’m way too excited. Next to getting to a hockey game at the tank this year not much in terms of live entertainment makes me more happy lol! Now all I need is to see my Linkin Park live and I will be complete (oh and Michael Buble too lol).

On a side note, I’m such a “pop” music lover there’s no question. I see no shame in it, to each his own is my deal. Anyway, I was listening to some old Britney last night (I got to hear some of her new CD too and although it isn’t GREAT isn’t not BAD either. Some of the stuff is pretty cool dance music.) and decided to look some more of her old stuff up. I came across the old VMA performance in 2000 of “Satisfaction/Oops I did it again.” Without even getting into all the events in her life the last few years, that has to be one of the best perfomances I’ve seen ANYONE do - period.(Much respect for Slave 4U the year after) I remember seeing it for the first time that night and thinking “WOW!!” and I still do till this day. She really has so much talent and her ability to dance is mind-blowing, especially since I can’t lol! Anyway, for those of you in the young blogging world who were only a few years old when that performance happened it’s a must see check it out Here! I think it’s awesome, I just wish I better quality version of it. I always check up when i see that dude in the blue sweater when Brit starts to strip he’s standing there like haha. Anyway, What are some of your most favourite TV performances ever?

“Gravity” - John Mayer

So let me ask, have you ever had a love affair with a song? Now, I know that might be a weird statement but I also know it can’t be foreign to everyone. There is just something about “Gravity” that touches me every single time. Truthfully, I can’t even begin to try and conjure up the right words to express how much that song is “like new” each time I hear it. (I run the freaking fanlisting people…. can we say issues?? ha.) I never tire of it, I can play it all day and still feel like Im learning something new from it. It’s a very strange obession. I tend to have certain songs that leave a deep impression on me, so much so that I “mark” it as a “lifetime” song. I think we all have those, but this song is a notch above that, if that’s possible. Lyrically it can apply in many ways and yet I still come to the same conclusion each time, if that makes sense. A friend threw a new spin on it for me recently and I just saw it in yet another light. I’ve heard it played so many different ways, on so many different occassions and my love for it only grows more and more. I really believe I have some sort of emotional attachment to it, the fact that my cat has it as a middle name is besides the point lol! I never even heard the song when my friend gave my cat the name, (so that’s not the reason lol) it was only a while after that — that I actually heard it played and it’s been downhill since then. Well buying the whole continuum album was my downfall truthfully, I love, love, love it. I’m not big on John himself, but I cannot deny his talent. Woah! I want to start the “continuum is one of the best albums ever” campaign. Anyone willing to help? let me know.. lol but I digress. I’m trying to back-track and see if it was playing during any one important moment in my life which has caused my unhealthy obsession, but I can’t think of any. I don’t know what it is, I really don’t. It’s one of the most simple and straight up songs around yet it gets me. It can take me from tears to happiness all within the same 4 minutes. I think my downfall was hearing it live. I was in tears, (so teenager seeing Nsync for the first time in 2000 lol) it was so beautiful, just amazing in person. As most of you know I have an obsession with the electric guitar so needless to say to have heard the lyrics coupled with the guitar playing busting out my ear drums.. nothing compares.

Where is musicoholic anonymous when I need them? It’s so sad. I feel like such a nerd

So the concert was amazing. I really didnt know what to expect, honestly. I’d never been to one of his shows and could only go off of what I had been told. But it turned out great. He did all of my favourite songs. I jammed out the whole night, it was totally awesome. It’s one thing to hear such a talented person on album, its a whole other thing to hear them in person, and my expectations were fullfilled. He’s really a master on that guitar and the emotions that come from it are unbelievable. See, Im in love with the electric guitar (I love acoustic as well though) to me its the instrument that conveys the most emotion. As Ive stated over and over nothing has moved me more then to hear the opening cords to “Gravity” and moreso “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room” everytime I hear them I just want to cry, lol it’s lame I know, but something about it that I cant even begin to try to put into words, moves me. It stirs emotions. It just makes me feel. I dont know why or even how, but it pulls at my heart! I just LOVE those two songs. So, hearing them live just made my…. everything. I was so happy. I needed it. Man I really needed it.

How awesome was the grammys? OMG I dont think Ive come close to seeing an awards show half as amazing. I think for once I enjoyed every single performance. Especially Linkin Park, Jay-Z and their special “friend” lol if you didnt see it go download it somewhere cause it was beyond brilliant. Congrats to both of them on the award as well, they deserve it. I cant forget Miss Mariah either I LOVE her!! She’s insane, that voice is unlike anything, Im serious. It was just great. What about Kayne and Jamie Foxx? AHHHH *screams* now that what something else.. very creative.. Oh and Madonna and Gorillaz, can I just say they rock. Im obsessed with their song “DARE” that song gets me excited haha. U2 and Mary J was cool as well. I was shocked with all the wins for Kelly Clarkson, I didnt expect that to be honest. Im not her biggest fan but I mean with all her competition I didnt think it would happen, boy I was wrong. I guess she deserved them though, no question. I love her new song out, which she performed its very beautiful. Ooh what about Christina as well? Now see the song she did, (A Song For You) my man Michael Buble has made as well and I must say, though this will sound partial, I like his version much more but Christina gives it a “power” if you will, that isnt there on Michael’s version. She’s did a good job. Coldplay was cool too, I never knew Chris had that much energy lol but he does and it shows. I cant forget Adam Levine as well lol he’s been everywhere lately but as always it was nice to see him and his cute self. Oooh and John Legend, I was so happy cause I love “Ordinary People” from what Ive heard of the album its awesome, period. Man I could go on forever haha… I loved the show so much and usually Im bored half way through but not tonight.. I wanna go next year, I so wanna go!! Anyone know if they sell tickets to the show?

OK, so my latest reality show obsession has become “Project Runway” its so enthralling to me as Ive always had this desire to be a fashion designer, though I would have never admitted to it, nor do I have the real creativity needed to do the job right. Needless to say just the idea of producing your own clothes and being able to sew and create in that way fasinates me, unlike many things. Anyway, I was so sad they kicked off Nick *sigh* I loved him, I really did. Albeit the outfit wasnt right especiall on Daniel (who Im pulling for now) I still wish they would have kept him, it could be because of my resentment (issues anyone?) with Mr love to hate him Santino. I’ll give you this much he’s got creativity and imagination up the wazoo, he’s good, he is.. if that’s your style.. and most importantly (for the ratings anyway) he’s good TV no question; but its frustraing that designers that have done nothing but do what they do best are kicked off for being “boring” all the while week after week hes told he isn’t thinking about his clients (which is above and beyond the most important thing of all in designing I believe) or as they said tonight dessing a “woman” he gets to stay? I know why it’s just ahhh, it annoys me LOL stupid reality TV.

I have to do a presentation tonight in front of everyone @ the hall.. yikes Im nervous. Im never good with crowds let alone public speaking but I can dooo it, I can.. I can. I just hope I dont jack up any of the words or sound stupid like I did last time.. It’ll be OK though.. I hope anyway. *gets nervous*. I have a busy few months ahead, I got talk tonight. Service tomorrow and Saturday, Meeting and Going Away Party Sunday. Visit of Mr Perfect last week of March, my one day that Saturday (same week). The memorial the week after, special talk week after that. Visit #2 by Mr Perfect in June (which means I will never see him again as he’ll be moving I should tell him shouldnt I?) followed by convention month after.. Oh boy.. emotional reck here I come…
