Beautiful

I've got a song for ya. I have a passion for music, especially lyrics. Grab me, pull me in, make me think. Make me RELATE. I want to hear something and say- yes, I've been there, absolutely. This week, it happened in a big way. I think that this is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I don't think anyone could hear it without it hitting home. It's deep... but it has the attitude I can't seem to get enough of.

People are judgmental. Believe me, I am too. It's so easy to look at others and think what we'd do in their shoes... the things they do that we "never would". The opportunities they do or don't have and don't "do it right"... like we would. Thing is, you don't know how you would do, say, react, live... until you are in someone else's shoes, in their hearts and minds you have no clue what makes them tick. Or why they are on the paths they are. You can think you know it all day long... but you just don't. And no one knows it about you, either. We all make choices that people judge us for. We are all under a microscope at some point. So think about it next time you want to gossip, speculate or whatever else- how do you know? Really?

This video DOES have some profanity, so you may want to grab some headphones! :)

"Twisted Helena"

I'm not exactly sure where this is leading, but I was told to watch this video a couple times, then send it to three people. I've watched, but am posting it here. Big things are happening with my favorite guys, I'm hearing... but I've NO idea what those things are... or what this is about. LOL Any ideas??


Twisted Helena

And You SO Knew This Was Coming.....

Watch more The Block videos on AOL Video

2 In The Morning- NKOTB


Ok, you knew it was coming. Regis and Kelly Thursday, Today Show Friday,(he didn't wear jeans **sigh**) and video released today. Yes, I'm still speaking in complete sentences and forming coherent thoughts. Ha.

I love this song; it's been one of my favorites since the first time I heard it. We've all been there, had those fights, those days/nights. Awesome song, amazing video.... what can I say? Take a gander and see what you think!

My New Favorite Song

Thank you, Walmart

Kid Speak: Alyssa on Music (and Me on Why the "Jo Bros" Are Slowly Killing Me)

Kids are funny (and intuitive!). Alyssa, especially, is showing a lot of interest in music these days, and has some pretty definite opinions on things. Here are some critiques from my 8 year old music expert:

On "Summertime" and NKOTB:

"Jon's like oh can we just get this over with!" -while watching Summertime on TV.

"Danny says bring on the ladies! Bring it on!"

"Why don't they show more Danny?" (the kid loves Danny)

"Is that Joe's wife?" When I said she was an actress "wow, she's good at it." (snicker)

"Jordan looks bored. That must be his wife." (laughed my ass off on that one...)

"My Joe is way cuter." - comparing Joe Jonas to Joe McIntyre (sigh)

"Those girls need some clothes. Yuck!" The girls are all in bathing suits and short clothing... gotta say i liked her attitude on that.

"Mom why are you looking at him like that?" Um......


On other music: (Notice the Jonas Brothers issue... again and again and again....)

"Did she really??" On Katie Perry's "I Kissed A Girl". "Mom, you have cherry chapstick!" (Yeah, ok, but i never kissed Katie Perry... lol)

"Why don't they show Jonas Brothers on VH1? they should be number one. Every week. Forever." (again, sigh.)

"You probably like this song, huh Mom?" (Charlotte Sometimes "I Could Just Kill a Man." ahaha)

"They need a Jonas Brothers channel. Or just a Joe Jonas one."

"If anyone wants Joe, he's taken!" (meaning Joe Jonas. )

"Camp Rock has the best music. Better than this other stuff." Yes, of course it does.

"New Kids on the Block and Jonas Brothers should sing together. They're about the same." Um.... no.


This is my life right now. I watch her, listen to her music (over and over and OVER) and I'm honestly beginning to wonder why my parents didn't purposely deafen themselves when i was growing up. Hearing the same few song repeatedly, by the same trio of young men, is horrific. LOL Especially when she screams along to it, jumping around like a maniac. Yeah, she's her mother's daughter, all right. I think now that my parents must have been saints, because honestly? I'd like to send the "Jo Bros" on a trip to a deserted island... and all their music with them.......

I Love YouTube

I don't know the girl(s) who did this, but I DO know a handful of Bravehearts who thank her (them) from the bottom of our blockhead hearts! Without further ado, I present to you.... Have Mercy! (The Joe Version)

Cause I'm Random, K?

I am exhausted today, Internet. Seriously draggin... and all thanks to a small one with great lungs. LOL This teething thing is wearing on me; I'd forgotten how miserable the poor little things get. and how little they can sleep, regardless of anything you do, the pain still seems to creep up on them and keep them miserable. I feel for her, I really do. But right now I feel like I've been on a bender, lol. I think I've had maybe four hours, tops, in the last couple of days. There's not enough coffee on the planet!

Other than that, life's been quiet. I'm stressed for a lot of reasons, and not any of them are really too huge. But i stress all the same. Other than the blogosphere, I'm not venturing into much at the moment. I've tossed out some movies for you guys, some music, and a terrific video (can we say number on on VH1 Top 20 Countdown after TWO weeks? Yeah... let's see some other boyband do that. Oh, wait... they couldn't... my bad!)

So I'm random today, and just kind of hangin out. Not much to say, not a lot I'm planning on doing today. Maybe some music and a drive with a friend. Maybe a bubble bath and headphones. something to relax, take some of the weight off my shoulders. And hopefully some sleep tonight, so i can be back to making some sense tomorrow... as much as I make anyway! ; )

What about you? Show me some love, tell me what you do to relax, de-stress, and comment on my good lookin guy down there! He's lonesome! ; )

Summertime Video

This is my first attempt in posting a video, so bear with me! And of course, my first try is Summertime by NKOTB. Hope it works, hope you guys enjoy!!!
