In for the Kill, La Roux

In for the Kill, La Roux
We can fight our desiresBut when we start making firesWe get ever so hotWhether we like it or notThey say we can love who we trustBut what is love without lust?Two hearts with accurate devotionsAnd what are feelings without emotions?

I'm going in for the killI'm doing it for a thrillOh I'm hoping you'll understandAnd not let go of my hand(x2)

I hang my hopes out on the lineWill they be ready for you in timeIf you leave them out too longThey'll be withered by the sunFull stops and exclamation marksMy words stumble before I start[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/in-for-the-kill-lyrics-la-roux.html ]How far can you send emotions?Can this bridge cross the ocean?

I'm going in for the killI'm doing it for a thrillOh I'm hoping you'll understandAnd not let go of my hand(x2)

Let's go to warTo make peaceLet's be coldTo create heatI hope in darknessWe can seeAnd you're not blinded by the light from me

I'm going in for the killI'm doing it for a thrillOh I'm hoping you'll understandAnd not let go of my hand

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time

gotta love this song... what's it mean to you?

Old Music

Does anyone even use cd's anymore? Does anyone even MAKE cd's anymore?! I do! lol....
I am borrowing my brothers car and he doesnt have a cd player in and I asked him why and he said because he "doesnt need one".

So strange.. when did it get to the point where we didnt need CD's anymore?

Say Hello to Goodbye.

Say Hello To Goodbye lyrics found at elyricsworld.com

Best line in this song:

"Say hello to goodbye, cuz it's gone forever. No more try, you and I, not now, not ever. And i'll get by without you. I'm not going back again. I'm not going to lie to you. Cuz that was there and only then."


That post, A"Hypothetical" Situation, is about M and I. I wanted to see what everyone thought before I told you who it was about. But I figured people who figure it out. He has deleted me and my roommate from bbm on blackberry, but not facebook.

He has also tried logging into my facebook page but entered in the wrong email address so i got an email about it. I don't really know what he's trying to pull but it's getting all too funny now. Someone wrote on my wall yesterday about this guys going away party that M hates that I didn't go to..and then M writes RIGHT after that on my wall "hahah" ... laughing about either the fact that someone wrote the guys name on my wall or because it was his going away party.  I deleted the comment.

I really don't know what he is trying to pull or do, but either way? It doesn't matter at all and I don't give a shit anymore. I cared way too much about someone who couldnt have given a fuck about me for wayyyy to long.

Plus I have a crush. I haven't felt happy in a long time. And this is exciting. And it's my birthday this weekend. And I started my new job. Everything is getting better by the day.

If M tries to ruin my birthday in ANY way shape or form, I swear to god.

Just wanted to share this song with everyone for those of you who have someone you are needing to say good bye to. This song has great lyrics. :)

"There are far, far better things ahead then any we leave behind."

Please me like you want to

Perfect song for my life right now.








Don't do me any favors
matter of fact why don't you
do yourself a few

your presence ain't nobody's blessing
I've got plenty of other things
I could do

oh no, not another excuse
your tired silly games
for me are just no use

and now it's plain for me to see
you're with somebody
that you don't want to be

so won't you
please please me like you want to
not like you have to
or won't you just go on and leave me
leaving me is the least that you could do

you could have spared me
so much misery
and told me you just wanted
a friend

believe me there is a difference
when you mean it
and when you pretend

or was I just your habit
cause I know a habit
is a hard thing to break

but won't you spare me
a little mercy
there's only so much
so much that I can take

so won't you
please please me like you want to
not like you have to
or won't you just go on and leave me

leaving me is the least that you could do 

Quickturn - My Best Friends Band!

Please check out my best friend's band! He's a great singer and they need some more fans and support.
He's done all the music and lyrics himself and honestly you can't find many bands out there anymore that produce their own music and write their own lyrics so the independent band aspect is going very well for them.

How Music Goes With Life

{picture}
Are you a person that associates songs with life experiences or people? I was thinking about this last night as  was driving in my car that I could turn on the radio and find a song that reminds me of someone or something or some sort of life event or time period.

Isn't it crazy how a song can tell time and explain how you feel or how you look at things in life. I can imagine that artists don't really take that into consideration when they are writing songs, they are just writing to make money and sell hits.

When I was thinking of writing this I instantly thought of so many songs but now I am drawing a blank.. let me see if I can think of some....

-Stereo Love reminds me of M
-Bruno Mars song reminds me of M thinking of me
-Dynamite and Ushers new song reminds me of this summer
-Body Guard by Steel Pulse reminds me of T
-Anything Jack Johnson reminds me of J
-Ben Harper reminds me of TB
-Pictures by Kid Rock reminds me of my girls on spring break
-Turn this Car around by Tom Petty reminds me of his concert at Jones Beach
-All Along the Watchtower by Dave Matthews... last song I heard of his at the Meadows yearssss ago
-Anything Mos Def, PanterA, Down, Rage Against the Machines.... reminds me of high school
-Fire Burning by Sean Kingston reminds me of Steve
-All Bob Marley songs remind me of college and our parking lot days

I could go on and on.... but I can barely remember the name of the songs or artists.


Do you have any songs that remind you of people, places or things?

Hip Hop or R&B?

They were debating whether this was hip hop or R&B. What do you think?

My opinion.....  R&B for sure.

So,

Hip hop or R&B?

Monday Love.

happy monday all...

although.. all i wish i could be doing right about now was sitting outside in the sun listening to some great music...

Break Your Heart, by Taio Cruz

Two Hands of a Prayer, Ben Harper

it's better not live, but that's all i could find.

hmm..

(A better verison is here... i just couldn't get it on my page)

"Two Hands Of A Prayer"

First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
She was a stranger I had known for years
She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
("Time")

Time it slowly drips into the past, into the past
And finds a home where all echoes rest, where echoes rest ("With a cold rest")
She softly kissed my mind, my mind, and whispered what will we do with time, do
with time

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Am I the man I choose to be, choose to be,
Or just the man I used to be, used to be
Am I the man I want to be, I want to be
this question, it keeps haunting me, haunting me

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Music defines us. You can agree or disagree with that statement, but you probably listen to it at least once a day. It could be on your ipod, the radio, or on your computer. What I didn't realize until recently (due to an amazing class I'm taking called "What's on Your Playlist?") that we are all musically-inclined.

I used to think that musically-inclined meant talented with music, whether you could play an instrument or sing or both. I can't do either and I always wished I could so I could possess some kind of musical talent.

But I realized by being a music listener and being involved in making your own playlists and discovering your likes and dislikes, you are musically talented too!

So here's to all those who can't play an instrument, can't sing as well as they wish they could, and listen to music constantly. You're a musician too in your own way. Embrace it. Share new music with your friends. Make new playlists.

WATCH THESE:
http://www.dove.us/#/features/videos/default.aspx%5Bcp-documentid=7049578%5D/

We watched these videos in my Journalism Ethics class and discussed the ideas shown in those videos. It really made me think about beauty and what our world programs into us from an early age. We are taught from the media and our peers to think that our hair is only pretty if it is pin straight or perfectly done, we are only accepted if we are a size 2, and that as far as makeup goes.... the more the better. I especially liked the "Amy" video... which I know is true for myself as well as many girls out there. We dress up for boys and worry about every little thing about our appearance because surely if our boyfriends see us in our glasses or sweaty at the gym, they won't like us anymore. Is this the kind of world we want to live in? Ask these same boys we worry about and aside from the jerks out there, most will reply that we are beautiful no matter what and they like us for who we are and think we are gorgeous with or without makeup.

Why is this idea so hard for girls and women to accept? The beauty industry has long trained us to deem ourselves unworthy unless we live up to the unrealistic perfect standards that God-knows who set up in the first place. I also know how girls can be, always judging others based on what they look like. I know I'm definitely guilty of this. I find myself thinking... "what the hell is she wearing?" or "wow that person is goofy looking" or whatever. We all do it whether we want to admit it or not. I'd like to sit here and tell you I am perfectly nice all the time, but it's a lie. No matter how much we change, everyone will always judge everyone else. It's time to make a conscience effort about it though. When you see someone dressed different, relish in it... don't make fun of it.

As over-used as it is, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. What one person thinks is beautiful, someone else may not. But this doesn't mean the person is ugly. Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way... the thing you hate about yourself may just be something someone else admires about you. So I challenge all you girls out there to shun the media, to turn away as a new "fat blaster medicine" or "beauty enhancing creme" comes on the market, and take a good look at yourself in the mirror. If you can stare and point out things you hate about yourself... STOP. Start counting the things you love. And as for judging, make an effort to decrease it. How boring would the world be if everyone was a stick-thin, 6 foot, blonde model? However, I'm not saying to run to your room and throw away all your lotions, potions, and makeup... just understand that it is not what defines you. Most girls love getting ready and looking pretty, just make sure you are doing it for yourself and that you are still beautiful in sweatpants and makeup-less. :)

I am Happy Today Because....

Thanks Moonjava for passing the happniess over to me :)

Here are my 10 things of happiness for today!

I am happy for...

1. My friends and family. Never could I ever make it through life on a daily basis without the love and support from ALL of them. Especially lately, life has been so different and ive been spending lots of time with them all and its just awesome.

2. My apartment and my roommate and dog and cat! Probably one of the best things that happened to me this year. It has been a place for all of my friends to come together and meet each other and hang out and one of my favorite things it having everyone be friends so that has been happening and I can't wait to do it every day! Well and cuz i LOVEEEE my roomie!! She is the SHIT and LADY, dont let ANYONE ever tell you differently!

3. The potential of good things to come. Life has been so up and down and it gets harder to keep a smile on my face, so with the potential of good things to come, it's something to look forward to.

4. Sleeping in (moonjava said it best)

5. Uno! haha my friends and I are currently in a Uno obsession and we play almost every weekend lol.. who could have thought Uno would have been so much fun!

6. My blog - i love my blog and i love everyone elses blog that I read every day too. Its awesome and I look forward to it every single day!

7. Weheartit.com - for having such awesome pictures to go with every post of mine!

8. Hearing new music - its hard to find new music out there and its always nice when you find something different from the norm on the radio or in a cab. Music can change your mood, it can change your life and inspire you.

9. Jersey Shore & The Kardashians! - I am officially obsessed. Since the lack of Grey's Anatomy (which starts on January 21st BTW)

and

10. The Jets Winning! - they haven't been in the playoffs in SO LONG! This is exciting!
