This girl there is amazing. I saw it on a site, lookbook.nu or something like that. She has a zooey deschanel look that I like but I love a ton of different looks so. She is not the hottest girl I have ever seen but I think she is stunning if that makes sense. It's like the looks are completely secondary to her as a whole. I don't think I know anyone close to that. I can't take my eyes off of her. The way she dresses is really really sweet because she shows so much individuality, I would wait to see what she wears everyday if I knew her. She doesn't seem to just fit into one style which I really like. Man why can I not meet someone like that. Probably because there are so few of her out there, it's one in a million. I just keep meeting such normal girls that really lack to inspire. And even then I get too caught up, imagine if I met someone like her. Hmmmm? Like kanye said "there's a thousand yous there's only one of me." I know that can be said about me, and I guess the same can be said for this girl. And I love that. Effortless originality is hard to come by- maybe you all should think twice about letting it walk away when you come across it. Or not, unoriginal and normal is good too right? haha yep. I suppose?

Grammy Awards
So I did not get a chance to give my take on the grammy awards yet. It was not good at all. What the f? All they are about is trying to put together as many stars as they can and say lets just hope these two or three people, who have no reason to sing together actually can make something good out of it. And it's never a couple we are really wanting to see, like Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks who the f cares about that pairing. And slash with anybody really cause he is there every year trying to play with someone. Does he just hang outside of the building asking if anyone wants him to jump in on his set? Thanks but no thanks slash.
It is always the same couple of people who get the awards, you basically can call who is going to win and there is no way these people are always putting out the best albums because well if they were they would have to be really good then. I just get frustrated because a show like that has the opportunity to really open up the eyes to artist maybe we don't get a chance to recognize but no its all about getting the biggest stars and shoving them down our throat no matter how good or bad their latest album is.
How bad was the Michael Jackson thing. This is the grammy's, you had over half a year to plan out a tribute to one of the greatest artist of all time and that is what you come up with. First the earth song clip was taken right from the movie so your just being lazy, there was no point in it being in 3D, who just has a pair of those lying around the house anyway. Oh let me go get one of my 3D pairs lying in the dresser, good thing I kept these from the Superbowl last year. But then you barely show any Michael Jackson in the clip, just a few photos and then you have people like Celine Dion, who I like by the way, and smokey who sounded horrible, up there singing and mj's voice is too distinct to try and do his songs so it just ends up not sounding good. I just thought it was awful, mtv's was way better.
We got to get to pinks performance because I got the most bitter about this. Yeah the swinging in the air was good- three years ago. I saw Justin Timberlake a few years back and she opened for him and she was doing all that trapeze stuff back then. I thought it was cool then but I'm over it now, it's old get on with it pink. Plus she just looked like a dude with his nips being covered. I don't mind her body but if your going to rock the hard body feminine it up with some long hair. She does nothing for me, it could have been a dude up there swinging and getting wet, I'm sorry that doesn't get me pumped. If that one guy from America's next top model took her place, the Jay Manuel dude, I would have not even noticed, just thought she had gotten really tan.
Speaking of looking bad what the f lady gaga? I think you are really creative but you are trying way to hard. Your get ups are now just ridiculous and I don't get it. It's not art to me if you have to try that hard just to get attention. When are we going to get just a little bit of theatrics with a lot more talent. You are the opposite right now and that sucks because I think you can actually do something good, because you do have plenty of hits and I good album, I just think your trying way to hard to be that weird girl. Now your just the weird girl with in awful camel toe. How is it that on a night when two stars are almost naked, one showing almost everything and the other showing a camel toe that was about to eat her leotard, that I am not turned on at all, that I actually have to comment on how bad it looks. That is when you know it's not a good night, when even the moose knuckles don't look appealing.

Ray Lamontagne
Why more people don't talk about ray Lamontagne I don't know. Probably because he can't put together a complete album and really doesn't have any big hits. So then why am I speaking about him. Because he does have a few really good songs worth listening to. I think his biggest song would be trouble. It's the one that plays in the travelers insurance commercial where the dog can't seem to hide his bone in the right spot. Sweet commercial. Well I would say that is his biggest song. But off that album he has two really good songs. One you may have heard of its called hold you in my arms. It is a song that played in the she's the man movie with amanda bynes. After the soccer game the two are heartbroken. It's actually an alright movie don't hate. Either way the song is good. I don't know what is with the strawberries in the video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=406Se3xPTqQ
I like the passion, of course. The lyric starting the second verse is sweet "When you kissed my lips, with my mouth so full of questions. A worried mind that you quiet." Man that is a good line.
The second song is also from the trouble album. Its called hannah. The beginning is better then the end but it's still a good song. Same thing with this video it's like a city shot from the sky. O.K
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKTRUpa0zU4
Good chords on this one. Best lyric: it's in the first verse: "I never knew a man could fall so far until I landed here." I still don't know but I guess I have landed there yet. Either way it's a good lyric.
So check the dude out.

Sure plans
I just read this and I love it because it is the truth. Good luck with your relationships when both people aren't pointing in the right direction:
"Each of us is tempted to make relationships the end rather than the means."
"When we reflect on Genesis 1-3, it becomes clear that the primary relationship Adam and Eve were intended to enjoy was their relationship with God. This vertical communion with God would provide the foundation for the horizontal community they were to have with each other. Everything God made pointed Adam and Eve to the primacy of their relationship with him. All of creation was to function as an arrow pointing to God. But in our sin we tend to treat people and creation as more important. The very things God created to reveal his glory become instead the glory we desire. We settle for the satisfaction of human relationships when they were meant to point us to the perfect relational satisfaction found only with God. The irony is that when we reverse the order like this and elevate creation above Creator, we destroy the relationships God intended – and would have enabled – us to enjoy."
And this one is for me not in love relationships well because, haha yeah but in relationships in general and probably a lot of you out there:
"What happens in the messiness of relationships is that our hearts are revealed, our weaknesses are exposed, and we start coming to the end of ourselves. Only when this happens do we reach out for the help God alone can provide."
Now I am finally reaching, and I pray he allows me not only to work on the weaknesses without arrogance and pride, and make each relationship I have in my life work, but also that he opens up the heart of the people of whom I have messed up that relationship in the past, so that I may show them the love and glory and patience I am slowly starting to understand, that I made wrong choices but it has helped me become a better person, but if they won't open their heart again to me, then I can't dwell on it but just continue to pray for their happiness and good luck on their own journey and that maybe one day when they are so over-joyed with the love of God they finally will open their hearts back up if even for a moment. Maybe I am just a dreamer.
Thanks though to who ever is reading this that you at least care enough to hear my words because this is my heart in a letter that I am pouring out. I am in a vulnerable place but I think that is where God wants me to be, because in this place I have finally said to him "I can't do it by myself, my way, I mess everything up on my own and I am only lucky enough to be in this place right now because of your blessing. Where really I have no big worries in my life. Nothing in my life is going how I want it, but I am still happy for some reason. I don't get depressed or sad or lonely and I know that is because of you lord. But even with that, I still don't feel complete and I need you now to show me your way for me."

Process Who
I just updated my queue at netflix. I think I got a pretty good queue going now. So tonight I am going to watch the movie: Cloudy With a chance of meatballs. I loved that freaking book as a kid so I am hoping the movie does it justice but they always say that books are better then the movies. Does that mean books that are only like 10 pages long and written for kids? We shall see. So coming tomorrow is Veronica Mars. I killed the first season on netflix but then got away from it but I really like the show. I don't know anyone else who watched it so it's one of those things where I just tell people it's good and no one ever goes out and checks it out. But from that show I love on Kristen Bell. Because of her and my love of romantic comedies I will probably go see her newest movie. I will I am sure be the only straight single guy in the theater but I don't care about that. Maybe I can pay a girl to go see it with me, would that be less lame? Haha yeah. Anyway here is my queue that I just hooked up. I should have already seen some of these but I didn't go to the movies much over the summer. Here it is:
1.Star Trek- the newest one
2. Moon- sundance type movie
3. (500) Days of summer
4. Public Enemies
5. Julie & Julia
6. The Invention of Lying
7. Monsters & Aliens
I think that is a good list counting what I have at the house now with Veronica Mars and Cloudy. I like to vary the list up, so see I have a romantic comedy- kinda. A few action movies, a comedy, 2 animated movies, an indie movie, and a TV show. I have gotten away from watching movies so I will stay up late now and take care of business. I don't really need as much sleep as I have been getting. As long as my other priorities are taken care of then who cares right? Exactly.
