By the way...


It's been a long time

Its been a long time since i've felt anything
Its been a long time since i've traveled
Its been a long time since i've cried
Its been a long time since i've laughed till I've cried
Its been a long time since I've gotten dressed up (in a dress)
Its been a long time since i've worn makeup
Its been a long time since i've gone dancing
Its been a long time since i've done something spontaneous
Its been a long time since i've watched my childhood TV shows
Its been a long time since i've talked to old friends
Its been a long time since i've listened to n'sync, bsb, and britney spears
Its been a long time since i've told anyone my secrets
Its been a long time since i've been hurt
Its been a long time since i've posted on this blogspot...


now is the time to do something about these things.

I want to live forever young



Can we just relive this moment? A rare moment to see this power couple perform together. The fact that they performed Forever Young at Coachella was magical. Coachella - the epitome of youth, freedom, and music. This moment will forever be engrained in my memory.

Just let the music play

Alphabeat's "DJ" from their album Beat Is...



I could be dancing,
I could be dancing all night,
If you'd play,
I would be dancing,
I would be doing alright,
If you'd play


You don't need deep lyrics for such an infectious song as this. The vocals and the instrumentals on this song are so fun. Please let me dance all night long. Alphabeat always knows how to make me happy.

The Middle East "Blood"



Older brother, restless soul, lie down
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth
And you’ll hear your sister sleep talking
Say, “Your hair is long but not long enough to reach
Home to me
But your beard
Someday might be”

And she woke up in a cold sweat on the floor
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
She’ll lay it aside

Older father, weary soul, you’ll drive
Back to the home you made on the mountainside
With that ugly, terrible thing
Those papers for divorce
And a lonely ring
A lonely ring
Sit on your porch
And pluck your strings

Oh, and you’ll find somebody you can blame
And you’ll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
And you’ll find the peace of the Lord.

Grandfather, weary soul, you’ll fly
Over your life once more before you die
Since our grandma passed away
You’ve waited for forever and a day
Just to die
And someday soon
You will die

It was the only woman you ever loved
That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
And the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
And there’s nothing you can do about it now

They go, we go, I want you to know what I did



Grizzly Bear performs "Ready, Able" on Letterman

Such a fantastic band. Their voices are beautiful. Can't wait to see them perform with Phoenix and Girls at the Hollywood Bowl on September 18! Thanks to Sharon for buying my ticket for me!

The show is a mere 8 days after I return from my trip to Europe. September is going to be a fantastic month.
