Lying.

So I've been meaning to post this on ye olde blog here, but alas I never stop working. And when I do stop working, I go explore the city...and don't feel like blogging. Can't blame me, right? Eh, I hope to write some stories and get them up here soon. We'll see though! :-)

Anyway, this is kind of a sad song. Have you ever desperately wondered how someone you once loved is doing, but at the same time you knew you couldn't bring them back into your life? That's what this song is about. I hope you enjoy.

Pain.

The last entry was about pain. Fitting. I wrote this song a year ago and it's called Pain. I'd like to share it with you.

You Ain't a Single Lady!

This video had me laughing hysterically and I nearly fell over! Good thing I didn't, cause I would not look cute in a cast.

Fabulously at the Grammy's.

Lady Gaga's dress from the Grammy's is now available in doll fashion!



What's up with the dolls this week? Hoarders featured a freak who couldn't throw away his daughter's doll, RuPaul's Drag Race made the drag queens design a RuPaul Doll...and now this!

Verifiably Awesome.

Covers of country music and western classics in different languages. For full review, see title of post.

Badder Romance.

This was wildly entertaining.

Thoughts at 4 AM.

Right now I'm listening to that new Black Eyed Peas song, "I Gotta Feeling." It's pretty much the most repetitive, monotonous, uninspired piece of music I have ever heard.

And I love it.

I'm not too sure why. Maybe it's because it is repetitive and monotonous. Maybe because I realize they're making millions off a song that probably didn't require too much thought. Regardless, it's making me smiling. And right now I could use that.

Going on with that theme of putting my life on hold, I'm thinking about the next 318 days. That's how long I have until I officially leave Columbus for once and for all. (Sorry Columbusites). I went through my schedule with my mother today, and I essentially have every week until I graduate planned out. Seriously. Weddings, Marathons, Trips to Seattle, Vancouver and San Francisco, classes, internship...I already have it all laid out until I leave in June.

This time needs to be maximized. I need to enjoy every last minute of my final days in Ohio. And yet all I do is stare at that enormous number and yearn for it to vanish. I just want to get the hell out of here. It's been that way for three years, and I know exactly what will happen when I finally peace-out and leave Ohio forever--I may actually miss it. I can honestly see myself in the future wishing that I had taken better advantage of this fine city here.

So the theme for the summer has been making the most of my time here. One day at a time. And a song like this really makes me think about that. (Probably the insistent "Tonight's gonna be a good night" might have something to do with it. I'm not sure.)

That's the plan. Tonight's gonna be a good night. I'm not thinking about 318 days from now or 5 months from now or next week. Just right now. In the moment. No matter what I do nor how much I complain, I'm here in Columbus for a bit more. So might as well make the most of it.

Morgan Karr Singing "Superhero"

I found this clip a couple of days ago. This guy, Morgan Karr, is frickin' amazing. I don't know if you readers know, I've been playing piano and singing for 16 years now. I play around town from time to time (just e-mail me and ask if you wanna know where...I don't like posting to the world where you can find me. No stalkers, please! :-P).

Anyway, this guy is incredible. I went and downloaded the piano music just because of it :-P

No Commentary.

(I think this was secretly me as a child...not lying...)

Spring Awakening.

So I was fortunate enough to see Spring Awakening on its opening night here in Columbus. What a fantastic production! Kind of weird, but I still really enjoyed it. Here's a clip I found on You Tube:

Shocked!

I don't want to admit it, I really don't. But, well...Britney Spears' new CD is...

...wait for it...

...actually...good. Seriously. Does this mean...she's "back"?

Delta Goodrem.

So I recently fell in love with Australian pop sensation Delta Goodrem. She's like the Celine Dion from down under.

Delta Goodrem broke into the American market a fews month ago with her self-titled album, Delta. It is an absolutely incredible album that showcases both her vocal talent and her mastery of the ivory keys. Her songs are unique, her voice is stunning, her lyrics are compelling...it's pretty much everything you'd want in a singer.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite songs:

(Also note not all of these are music videos, more like fan vids. It's all I could find, sorry!)









Sorry I know that's a lot of YouTube videos...but she's just so good! Ok ok ok...just one more...I promise! This one is my absolute favorite. I literally have already listened to it over 100 times on my iPod! (Ok, call me a 12 year-old girl, I don't care. DON'T JUDGE ME! I LOVE DELTA GOODREM)
