On the pretty electronic...

My newest music obsession is Lady Gaga.

She's pretty weird and her fashion sense is not exactly normal but she's quickly becoming known for her skillz as a live performer. She does a lot of dancing in her acts and never lip syncs. She may not have the best voice ever but she's impressive and entertaining and I cannot get her music out of my head. I'd love to get her cd The Fame, now available on amazon. (that was a hint to Shane. lol.)

Anyhoo, here's a link to a really odd performance. The sound is kind of weird but whatevs.

Her weirdness reminds me of Madonna. It took me off guard in a way that left me intrigued.

Transformers activate!

Tuesday, February 10, 2009
So Shane and I finally saw Transformers.

First of all, this movie made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Both Shane and I agree it was totally messed up. Whoever wrote it must have been on some type of drug. I have no idea how the hideous script and storyline were accepted.

Probably because the visuals were stunning and they figured the story didn't matter as long as the robots and cars were awesome and Megan Fox was hardly wearing any clothes.

Neither Shane nor I can figure out why so many people think Megan Fox is hot. She has big empty "I'm dumb" looking eyes and looks completely fake. The only thing we can figure is that people like her because she dresses like a stripper. Seriously, google search her images... there is not a single shot of her not looking like a tramp.

There was a blonde girl with a supporting role in the movie who was much more attractive and actually wore clothes. Why is no one talking about her?

I gotta say though, Shia Labuff or whatever his name is surprised me. He seem to be insanely annoying and depressed. Since Even Stevens on the Disney Channel, I have not seen that dude smile. But I think besides the amazing visuals, his character was one of the only good things in Transformers.

I hope the sequal features more of him, blondie, and special FX, and a lot less of Megan Fox and INSANELY crappy storylines.

I feel completely useless lately.

A job and a new computer would really make me feel better.

Also cupcakes.

Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer.

I miss getting out. I miss warm weather and baseball games.

Yes, the Cubs are my favorite but half-price Mondays at Comiskey are the best. And I will say, The Sox have an AMAZING intro. It always gives me chills. I get the same feeling I used to get for the starting line up for the Chicago Bulls when dudes like MJ, Armstrong, Grant, and Pippen were there. It's good times.

I also miss going to concerts, just being out. I miss Switchfoot. Jon Foreman's been doing solo stuff lately and then he did this Fiction Family thing which is him and a guy from another band. Fiction Family is actually much better than Foreman's solo stuff. He had 3 good songs on his own and that was it. He tried too hard to be intense. I mean I love the guy but he's just no fun without Switchfoot.

Anyway, back to topic here... There's always a point in the midst of Winter where I start to crave summer and I feel like I will go nuts without it. This craving has begun and I just want to go out and see a game or rollerblade or even just be able to go to Wal-mart without 2 tons of winter gear on.

Also, my title for this post is awesome but sadly no one will get why. Unless Jon Foreman is reading my blog.

So I'm posting at another blog.

But this one isn't mine. A friend of mine posts there with some other peeps and I was asked to post there as well. And so I am. And you can't stop me! This now brings my blog total to 2. I only have TWO. So I don't want to hear any lip from anyone! Or there will be throttling!

Story Side:B

Ron McClelland, the bassist in Story Side:B passed away on the 18th. He was on a cruise, playing some basketball when he collapsed and died.

I really enjoy their music and am putting a song of theirs on my profile in his memory.

Press play and wait a few seconds for it to start if you're interested in hearing it.

I'll Do What I Can

Sunday, January 18, 2009
You be Earth and I'll be the moon, you'll see...
That I'll do what I can to pull you in close to me.
And when the waves in your oceans are rising,
And the people are jumping away from the ground with their feet,
I'll know that my magic is working,
And that we've made a connection, a little non-locality.

From here I can see that you're blue for the most part,
Could you use some cheering up?
I'll do what I can to shine some light on you
When the nights are growing dark and the sun is hiding too much.

The seasons are changing,
What was warm has grown so cold.
Everything is spinning, things are out of control.
Leaves are delicately falling,
Then the snow comes rushing in.
A symphony plays the sounds of nature as we continue to spin.
When the weather won't behave and you're feeling like a kicked around ball,
Take a look around you, I'll be there through it all.
