Hero

Oh dear children. I am here to give you my obsession of the week. It is called "Dr. Horrible's sing along blog". If you haven't seen it yet, you need to. It is absolutely amazing. It has comedy, drama, romance, and superheroes. So you really can't go wrong. You need to find it online and watch it like 20 mins ago. Here is a little taste.

Talk to me, dance with me

Oh my. I was watching my friends do the High School Musical show at Disney's Hollywood Studios and this little kid...ya know what just watch.

The Leaving Song

It's been kind of an out of control week. What, with Block Party training, trying (and failing and trying again) to get my car, moving out, and my best friends leaving Florida. I haven't really had a chance to breathe. But today, well, it's my day off so I can reflect. I have time for that. Anyway, I just wanted to vent for a second.



It sucks when you want to say something to people and then they leave. There are just things, good and bad, I wish I would have had the cahones to say to my peeps before they took off. Ah well, that's life I guess. I feel like Gandalf's words are very resonant to me at the moment. It only matters what you do with the time given to you. I hope I made and affect on my friends. I hope they will think differently after knowing me. I hope I made some impact.

Anyway, I will try to update a little more often.

Stop This Train

Kids, don't read anything into the lyrics that can be related to how i'm feeling. Just enjoy the amazing John-Mayer-ness

No I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an opened mind I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But honestly will someone stop this train

Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can but honestly won't someone stop this train

So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68 you'll renegotiate
Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
I don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train

once in a while when it's good
It'll feel like it should
When you're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing till you cry when you're driving away in the dark.

Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take this speed it's moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

(think I got 'em now)

Dance of the day...

Wade came back. And an angel got it's wings.

Celebrate

So I'm online today and I am watching the dances from last night's So You Think You Can Dance?, Part 1 of the season finale. Mia choreographed the group dance for the top 4 to Hallelujah by Vitamin String Quartet. Here, just watch it. Watch it all please.


K, so as soon as I saw this I bought the song on iTunes. It just has a feel, ya know. A feel of celebration. Celebrating anything and everything. Getting a job, finding true love, excitement to see old friends, or even just that we're still breathing. I'm gonna go ahead and dedicate this song to this last week I have with my cousins and my best friend.

Alysse, Andrea, Chasten. This college program experience has been one of the most amazing things. I don't know that it would've been the same if you three had not been involved. We have gotten to spend so much time together and (to Alysse and Andrea) I am so glad that I know you as more than my cousins. You are friends, which to me, means so much more. I celebrate for that.

Chasten, you have been the most amazing friend to me. You'll be a groomsman at my wedding if not the best man. There aren't any words to accuratly describe how much you have taught me and how much I value our friendship. So I'm not gonna try. I celebrate for that.

Other people who have given me reason to celebrate:

Phil-One of the most unique, extraordinary people I have met. I feel bleesed to call you friend.

Allen- roommate extrodinaire.

Brock-insanity, awesome, coolest kid in town.

Kool and the gang know what they're talking about. Celebrate good times. I am doing just that. So thank you guys. WHHHHHHAAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Call

Guess what? Casey's getting trained in Block Party Bash. I'm so freaking excited. I've wanted to do this freakin' parade/show stop/whateverthehellitis for seven solid months. So, YAY!
Oh, all this means that I'm staying in Florida at least for the forseeable future. I have to find an apartment and a car. Heaps of responsibility to shoulder. I always thought I had pretty strong shoulders though, so I think I'll be ok.

Ode to Divorce

Dear Couples in love,

The world does not relvove around you and your partner.

I understand you feel like you got butterflies emerging from the cucoons in your stomach lining and it makes you feel crazy and sane at the same time. It might've been unexpected. You might have worked really hard for it. and even though it may seem to give you the right to turn into complete ass-wholes, it does NOT. There are other people around you who need a little slice of attention pie you think is baked solely for your Sugar Honey Babe. Sometimes the atmospheric characters in your life may not want to do something that you and Lover want to do, but guess what? That is normal. The desires, or undesires, as the case may be, of a friend should not be tossed away like excess Fried Rice from Panda Express. Just like a secret, it should be listened to without mockery. Then decided like adults. Not like the sickly nerd and the bully in sixth grade. Being in love doesn't not give you power. You can't treat others like characters in your novel that you can kill off.

Be kind, be caring, DON'T be self involved.

Forever and ever amen.

No Good

Warning! This blog might get profane so if you have some aversion to curse words.

Is it just me or does Kathrine Heigl need to calm down. She is so eager to run away from the show that made her some one that I don't think she realizes what could happen when she is no longer on Grey's every week. Once she is only seen evrey 8 months or so she could easily wash into this group I like to call "the hilary duffs" of the world. She'll be famous for like a year longer, maybe two, then she'll completely fall off the radar. Kathrine is a jerk and I think she deserves to dissolve into obscurity. She never should've won an emmy last year and she ESPSCIALLY shouldn't have been considered for a nomination this year. She is a bitch for blasting the writers and saying she wasn't "given the material to merrit a nomination". She was given material with which greater actresses can and have reaked amazing performances. Don't blame Shonda Rimes and her team of writers for you shitty acting skills.

Wow, that wasn't profane as I thought.

Foundations

Kids, my friend Bry showed me this video by Kate Nash. It's a fantastic song and there is a fantastic video to go along with it. I had to share.

More than a Feeling

I know, it's August now, holy crap, where did the time go, it seems like i just got here, etc, etc,etc.

Now to the important issue. Am I the only person who is sad Chelsie Hightower isn't in the top 4 on this season of So You Think You Can Dance? ? She is such an amazing performer. I am completely in love with her. I am so sad that America doesn't feel the same! I mean, Courtney is a perfectly fine contestant, but she isn't like Chelsie. Chels, if you are out there, somewhere and you happen to come across this, whew, ok here we go.

Will you marry me?

Seriously, she is just hot awesomeness. Check it out!

Musicbox

Hey guys. I got a little bored today so I made a music video. Let me know what you think.

Be Positive

I feel like I've griped alot lately. Ya know? Been kinda negative, gonna throw out some positive. Here are a few things that make me smile presently.

1. Weeds season 1


2. Walking in the rain while:
If it's drizzling, listening to Death Cab's The Ice Is Getting Thinner
If it's pouring, listening to Bloc Party's This Modern Love

3. The Dark Knight


4. Being home for So You Think You Can Dance? on Wednesdays

5. Stephanie Meyer's New Moon

6. Panda night into Target


7. Being two feet taller than the rest of the world. (Being on stilts)

They don't really go in an order. It just looked more organized and I don't know how to make bullits. Anyway, there is my happy list.

Break Stuff

It's not very often I say that my feelings are well conveyed by a Limp Bizkit song but nevertheless. Today is well expressed by the song Break Stuff

Its just one of those days
When you don't wanna wake up
Everything is f*&^%$
Everybody sucks
You don't really know why
But you want justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact
Your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away motherf&^%*$
It's just one of those days!

You better watch your back
Cuz I'm f*&^^%$' up your program

Your best bet is to stay away motherf&*^%$
Its just one of those days!!

And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break your f*&^%$' face tonight!!
Give me somethin' to break

So come and get it

Stay

So last night I had my stilt assessment and guess what? I was awesome. I totally rocked it out. Basically, life could be good if I stayed. That is the moral of the story.
