#NowPlaying: Foo Fighters- Everlong

Sitting here posting watching it rain in beautiful Southern California, and this song just came on Last.FM and it's speakin to mah SOUL!!! I love the acoustic version too - it's so unbelievably intimate. Ugh. Loves it long time. Enjoy!!!

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang


And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Verse 2-

Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang
Chorus-

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Chorus-

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

#NowPlaying: Blessid Union of Souls - I Believe

Super duper secret, when I get sad I listen to cheesy love songs ... which pretty much only make me sadder. Technically speaking, I'm not really "sad" in the purest definition of the word - more just discontent, and feeling antsy with a sense of longing. I need to date this week, I think I'm going mad. Then again, I'm always mad. I just believe in love gosh darnit! And I believe in the powers of the internet - go make whoopie already and manifest some awesomeness. 7 minutes in heaven, anyone ... anyone?

Dude, why am I still talking? Shut UP Jen! K ... bye.

 

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a nigger from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way

#NowPlaying: Red Meets Blue - Matt Wertz

UGH! This song is making my LIFE right now! So, just a bit of a dating update ... boy that I went out on a date with in Culver City and woke up in Santa Barbara is being moved to a pretty far back burner. Bless this dudes heart - again, incredibly rad ... all that jazz, but he's got too much going on. Again, I am a big condoner of approaching anything dating wise like a business transaction. Weigh out the pros and cons, see if lifestyles match - etc. I'll meet him in another life when we're both cats. Life is too precious to not celebrate every moment of it. I get that most people don't understand that, but I'm confident that if I keep on doin my thang - someone vibin at the same wave length will come along. Nothin but love, baby, nothin but love!

Oh, and to boot (haha no pun intended), was supposed to have dinner with the foot duderino tonight. Had to scrap it because of stuff we have going on with the pilot. Seemed pretty understanding. I just don't really feel that way about that dude. He's a completely rad mofo - like his energy is off the charts, haha, literally I think. But I dunno, the attraction part isn't fully there. You just can't fake that.

So, this is dedicated to the next boy that I will meet. Don't know who you are, don't know where you're gonna come from - but my heart is open and ready for some nerdy lovin. *hear that universe?? manifest! manifest! manifest!* (Live in LA and wanna date? Drop me a line on OKC) RAWWRRRRR!!! =)

For reals though, just listen to this song - and tell me this isn't magical. AHHHH!!!

#NowPlaying: Lifehouse- Hanging by a moment

I tell myself I'm not at all a hopeless romantic, and then I listen to bullshit like this. Good lord, this song gets me every time. It's tragic actually, I am instantly taken back to being in 7th grade thinking about a boy ... lip syncing the lyrics in the mirror with a hair brush. Wait, was that 7th grade? Or just yesterday? Who am I kidding.

Wanna feel old? This song came out eleven years ago. Um. Yeah. I wasn't even in seventh grade, I was almost done with high school. Fuck.

Saw these guys in concert at the Pepsi Super Bowl Smash in 2009. Most anti-social band on the planet. They didn't even introduce themselves, or say literally ANYTHING to the audience. LAMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE ... alrite, enough already. Enjoy!

 

I'm desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind

There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

I'm desperate for changing
I'm starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment here with you

#NowPlaying: Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream

Dude, this song is speaking to mah SOULLLLLL right now. Seriously, it's a direct line, no three way. HAHA! Wait that came out wrong ... bahhhhh enjoy!

 

How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Thought I’d never see
The love you found in me
Now it’s changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

Catch me I’m falling down
Catch me I’m falling down

Don’t stop just keep going on
I’m your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right till first light

#getdown
