Well Cellooo.

If this isn't motivation to pick up a cello again, I don't know what is. The cello is the most beautiful instrument, hands down. It's like it speaks to my soul. We have a connection.

Christmas list item for suresies.

come for me / charlie hall

Jesus come take me away, I long to see Your face

This world is broken yet beautifully made,
Jesus come take me away
Jesus I’ll patiently wait, till like a vapor I’ll fade
Help me fulfill all your dreams for these days,
Jesus I’ll patiently wait

You’ll come again with a shout,
like a thief in the night you’ll come riding on clouds
Finally the voice I have followed for life
has a glorious face that is lit up with light
And you’ll come for me, no more pain, peace,
No more fear, release
just lost and consumed with my glorious King,

And you’ll come for me

Jesus today I am tired, I need your music to come and inspire
I give myself to be refined in this fire,
but Jesus today I’m so tired

Come for me

[End]

Ketchup or catch up, whatevs.

My grades are pretty rockin' right about now. Don't ask me how I'm doin' it, I just am. Late nights, lots of coffee runs w/the roomies and wonderful boyfriends named Ryan who give incredible encouragement and support. Speaking of which, our 2 year anniversary is Dec. 1st. I know, time flies!!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It's one of my favorites. I'm jealous because my sister Manda is going to be with her hubby's family. But whatevs, she would be having more fun with us. My dad blew the surprise about my other big sis, Tina who's coming for Thanksgiving. She makes the best yams and marsh mellows dish, ever. Seriously.

In other holiday news, I will not watch/listen to Christmas movies/music until AFTER Thanksgiving. It's a rule that everyone should abide by.

I'll leave you with this, you can't trust the SYSTEM, maaaaaaan.

vma madness.

Haven't blogged in awhile. But this, my friends, is blogworthy. (Sorry for the poor video quality).

Pretty sure I cried at 3:42 and especially 5:11. I <3 you MJ.



In other VMA news:

Kanye acted a fool. (Congrats Taylor, you're the 1st and only country music artist who's CD I proudly own)

Lady Gaga officially scares the crap out of me.

Catch you on the flipside.

Le Grove.

Last Wednesday Ryan and I went to see Taking Back Sunday, Anberlin & Envy on the Coast @ the grove in Anaheim. We like to stand pretty up close to the stage. SO much body heat/sweat/rockin' and I looked quite unfortunate post-show, but it was AWESOME.

I snagged Ryan - vocals/guitar from Envy on the Coast - for a quick picture. We're both from Long Island, so we had a bonding moment.

PS: If you don't have TBS' new album New Again - make it happen. Like, now.

Crowntown

All of my shows have had their season finales already. So, I've been looking for some other show I can get free episodes from online. I admit that I've really been getting into The OC.

FIRST of all, don't hate.

SECONDLY, they mentioned Corona. It was hilarious. If I recall correctly, the line was "Man, that kid wouldn't last 2 seconds in Corona". HAH!

When I entered Corona, CA in Google images, here's what came up first:


Seriously?

I will continue to watch, but if one more reference is made as to Corona being some type of ghetto, I will write to the creators in hopes they will double check their geography.

I'm Sorry.

At the 19th second, you'll realize why this video is indeed, worthwhile. I especially love how the keyboard player tries to cover it up by coincidentally taking over the lead vocals. Enjoy.
