this video is of a choir performing coldplay's "fix you". what makes it special? the choir, called young@heart, is made up of senior citizens ages 73-92. i love it.
this is taken from part of a long rambling, yet entertaining j.a. myspace bulletin earlier today:
This ones for greg dulli cause now I'm in the twilight singers and we're playing jimi kimmel live on the 3rd
I quit cocaine so he let me join
Fuckin see what happens when you fly straight. Then we gonna make a
whole record with that german bastard named mathias. . I'm reallY
excited to rock with mark lannegan and to me a record with his voice
mine and dullis should be called Lady's Choice. I think I'm gonna sing
almost exclusively in my pimp falsetto as heard here on a track called
Slave
Tell all yer friends
There's a new kinda monkey in charge
Love lights red and blue
This one flies straight
From my heart to you
Ps
I got a new hat
Its dark green fedora
100 percent genuine velour
I just looked inside it
It says
World class quality
That just about sums it up
Pps
We can't help it
The spirit
Being wwhat it is
So vast and electric
So big and beautiful
Even as she breathes in my ear
Even as she sings so clear
I just gotta give it back
Cause how could I hold it
And why
Oh why (let me be a poet for a second)
Would I want to
When its all yers to have
All of it
It was made thru u to me
And my brothers and sisters came in like stars around a sun so epic
Who would wanna run
Not me when I see his light
Not me when I am his light
And yes I am intense
But also light as a feather
In fact
You could blow me away with a kiss
So here's one
From me to you
From us to you
Lack a vision
Blinded by love
Blinded by love
Lack a vision
We had to give it too
With love
Of course
wow. its almost the end of the year. much to my dismay, we're
still living in fayetteville, and the job situation isnt quite ideal,
but other than those 2 *minor* issues, its been a good year. lets
review:
5 trips home to detroit totalling over 2 months of q.t. spent with my
family and friends...seriously the best thing ever. i consider myself
truly lucky to have had the freedom to be home so much. to be
able to be involved in all of autumn's wedding fun (we've already
forgotten about the bridezilla moments). to have friends who were
willing to stay out late on school nights and went out of their way to
make sure my visits home were nothing but fun.
how often in a person's adult life does an opportunity to 'vacation'
like that come along? next to never. which is why it was so very cool.
trent live x2 (my heart goes all pitter-patter just thinking about it)
rob live x2 (we think you rule!!!)
my first trip to charleston
my first trip to baltimore
my first trip to atlanta
i acquired a brother (in-law...and he's really cool)
g105
guitar lessons (i consider it a positive even though i
quit. but trying something new and sucking at it was good
for me. a good challenge. and i havent given up for good. i
will play again!!)
malcolm the newt is still alive and kickin
plus, i didn't contract a
major illness, get into a car accident, go to prison, gain 50 pounds,
or file bankruptcy
on my way to work tonight i stopped and got a fountain pop.....44oz
of super yummy diet coke goodness. the thing about my car is the
cupholders are too small for such a massive cup, so i have to put cups
of that size inside the compartment btwn the 2 front seats that is
actually meant to hold 6 or so cds .... well apparently the structural
integrity of this particular cup wasnt so good because when i pulled
the cup out to take a drink about 20 minutes into my drive, i feel
something wet dripping on my leg.....i turn on the light in the car to
discover theres a hole in the bottom of the cup and the contents have
almost completely emptied into this center console cd holder
thingy....all 44 oz of it. so not only did some of it spill on
the carseat and on me, but now when i get home in the morning ive got
to figure out how to extract 44oz of pop from the middle of the car
without making a huge sticky mess.
plus when i got to work i had no pop to drink. i was pissed.
