all in

im in love with a sound.
a carefree laugh that comes alive
that makes a bad day better,
a good day the top of the world
it plays in my head every day
it fills my dreams at night.

i'm in love with a strength.
a strength to none ive ever known
one to let in, to trust, to stand.
it pulls me up when i have fallen
makes me face whats gone past
and makes me tall for tomorrow

I'm in love with a heart.
a heart as big as the heavens
one torn in pain, and beats in joy
the world it should have in return
mine it will have forever
beating strong as song

im in love with a voice.
a voice ive never met
yet is more real than anything
words that challenge, words that sing
ones that weigh heavy on the past
and and are unsure of the future

im in love with a you.
a you that has brought me magic
a you that carries the world
a you that told me it was okay
a you that deserves the most
a you that i smile at in thanks

movies galore

i've been watching a lot of movies lately and there have been quite a few great ones. (trailers posted below)

finally got to see Saw V. i was pretty disappointed really. four was okay, and five just seemed like filler to me. it might mean the next one is going to be great b/c you have all this background, but . . . eh.

maid of honor.  yes, i know - totally chick flick, but it was good.  kinda sent me into a whole whirlwind, but was still cute.

lets see, after that was bucket list.  good movie.  great concept, and to actors i love... but they didnt seem to mesh to me in the movie.  maybe they weren't supposed to. i dunno.    but definitely worth the rent.  everyone has that list... dont wait until you're out of time to scratch things off.

i believe the next flick was shutter.  I wanted to see this in theaters, but never made it.  i wasn't in love with it.  great concept, and i loved the cast.... just was missing something.  if you can get it at redbox, cool - but not worth much more than the buck-a-roo.

next up was midnight movie.  i got a facebook message from ball state alum that they were having a premier for midnight movie and i booked my seat right away. its a bigfoot entertainment film, which is where my cousin fills a ceo chair.  had to check it out.  after seeing saw and being let down, this was great!  proud of ya kacy.  screenings in theaters soon...  its a great B horror flick that has great music in it. 

tonight i redboxed the strangers.  ive seen a lot of movies that are weird and whatnot... but this one freaked me out more than i think any movie has in decades.  the score was great.  acting was pretty believable.  freaked me the frick right out.  im good now... but its one of those movies you wont ever forget and it'll wake you up in the middle of the night.  love it.

Saw V... kind of.

one of the ads that i build each week is for great escape theaters. i received an email this morning wanting to ad a Saw V time to their listing for thursday night (early viewing) at ten o'clock. though it was too late to get it in their ad, i however was excited to see it!! let me just say i dread going to the theater. i used to kick and scream as a kid when we went – it makes me sick. HOWEVER... i can't wait to see this film.

tonight i buggied over the the theater, bought my ticket and chilled in the car for a bit. watched the high schoolers tailgait. amusement to say the least. i find a seat in the theater. watch the filler and previews and wha-lah... MOVIE! sweet. about fifteen minutes in, theres switch reel signal and then something is going on upside down and backwards. that rolls for about 5 minutes and they stop the film. [we sit.] up and running again (though we missed something cos it didnt make sense) for about ten minutes and there was literally a burn mark and then the film started melting. [we sit.] [we sit.] [we sit.] then they tell us they can't restart it and its time for us to go home. they did give our 8.75$ back.



STILL no clue how it ends :)

stay tuned... i WILL see it by the end of the weekend! lemme know if you wanna go with.

rebel run weekend - part 1

- friday -

BEAUTIFUL day. headed out to fairmont to catch the early in-flow of rides at the james dean run. more than i expected for early on a friday. caught some photos. trying to get a few for lounge. met some interesting characters, whom had rides with much more character. i'm still not able to pick out exact years, and its bugging the bajeebs outta me. (note to self.) after day one – this is what i have to say

(1) mercs are hit or miss... more on the miss.
(2) fords had a sexy quality about tham that is so not there anymore
(3) a truck done right is stunning
(4) flat finish adds character
(5) be smart about your stripes
(6) 55 chevy is still one of my favorites
(7) converts still dont do much for me
(8) historic is cool, custom is captivating
(9) don't effin' touch the car doof
(10) i caught slim to none useable photos today

on another note - hope to catch voodoo kings tomorrow in gas city.

its going to beautiful this weekend. hop on I69 and check out the show.

a few random music thoughts

thought i'd take the lead from rock the planet this morning.

00. death magnetic. – had mentioned eariler in my blog the album. that i thought i had a frightening observation about metallica that i wasn't ready to share. i'm glad i didnt. all thoughts of that are gone.... tremendous album. captivating lyrics. dark chonky riffs. snare buzz. ...bass. the growl. chicago 2009 baby!

01. i miss good live djs on the radio. voice tracking is both obvious and causes preset flippage

02. classic.


03. after hearing the news of the plane crash that injured travis barker and dj am friday night, my first thought was that we lose too many people in plane crashes. however,  that was quickly wiped away when 104.1's Amanda Rollen babbles on and says - right out loud - that she doesn't know who perry ferrell is.

...am i just old??

04. theres some intelligent hip hop goin' down in indy as of late. check it.

05. ac/dc. lets round up. $100... seriously??? i'll spin their vinyl collection for free at my house. c'mon over. i'll only charge $25 cover :)

06. dusting off old albums. is a re-experience. try it. im not a fan of greatest hits albums, but the cars greatest hits keeps getting spun.

07. fellow blogger cwade makes mention of this article, and i thought it was worth mentioning. 'America Isn't Very Rock 'N' Roll Anymore' - Duff McKagen

i said a few! :) more to come.

shiny.

. . . if you dont have anyone to tell, it doesn't mean much.

new release babble

i'm not saying that i'm the worlds biggest fan, and i'm not saying that i dont give a shit. what i am saying is that i'm excited for September 12th. yes, i've heard a lot of it, and no, i do not own anymore of it than i got from paying my metallica club dues. today they released the video for the first single. i got chills at one point of it about 2/3 of the way thru and you would have thought i was sitting on the bus, scrunched down with my headphones on listening to puppets back in the day. why the chills? i realized that even though im thirty-something, i'm still overly psyched to go to the record store, the day of release, and purchase the newly distributed album. i wish more people were the same way. sometimes the new technology we have available both amazes and pisses me off at the same time. everyone wants to be the first, everyone has to have it. i can see where the hunt of getting it first may be the same as my anticipation of the purchase... its probably the goody-goody in me, i dunno. (there was one release earlier this year that i was psyched to have and passed on when i got it – but have since deleted it and wont hear it again until i purchase it.... if it ever gets released. saying that, i guess i'm a bit of a goody-goody hypocrite.) i guess its just different ways of looking at things and levels of interpretation. enough soapboxing. just wanted to basically say that i'm excited for the album and disappointed in a lot of people.
