There I go, there I go, there I go... there I go
Pretty baby you are the soul that snaps my control,
Such a funny thing that everytime I'm near you
I never can behave...
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
Music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so
Baby close to you, turns me your slave...
Come on and do any little thing with me what you want to
Baby I just want to be next to you
Am I insane, or do I really see Heaven in your eyes
Bright as stars that shine up above you, in the clear blue skies
How I worry bout you; Just can't live my life without you baby come here
Don't have no fear, no... is there wonder why, I'm really feeling in the mood for love....

STAND UP.
Have been watching A LOT of stand up lately. I love watching real comedy! I was DYING last night watching Kevin Hart: Seriously Funny and Jo Koy's "Don't Make Him Angry!" Today I watched Jamie Foxx: I Need Security! It seriously feels GREAT to laugh after the crazy emotional week I had last week. I mean, I don't know WHAT was going on with me. I was all over the place emotionally but it felt so GOOD to just laugh like that. Anyhow... here are some clips.. ENJOY!

FASTING.
Every year for Lent I try to give up something significant. For those of you unfamiliar, Lent (practiced by most Christian/Catholics) is the period of time leading up to Easter. The point of LENT is to prepare for Holy Week which commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Just a little history for you :)) Anyway, it is common for someone to fast for the 40 days leading up to Easter; giving up something significant to show respect for the 40 days Jesus spent walking through the desert. One year, while I was working at Peet's Coffee nonetheless, I drank no other beverage but water. You could imagine how difficult it was for me to not have my daily espresso. Last year I decided to go vegetarian which actually proved to be quite a challenge but THIS year I've decided to go VEGAN! I plan to blog my diet for 40 days and see how easy or difficult this will be for me. One other thing is that LENT is always around the same time as my birthday and this year Ash Wednesday (which marks the beginning of the 40-day Lent/fasting period) falls on my birthday so I won't be able to eat meat or cheese or ANYTHING on or after that day until Easter. It will be a fun project to blog my progress and hopefully it will keep me motivated not to cheat. I have about two weeks left until my birthday so I will occasionally be making updates.

REMINDER.
Just a reminder to check under the other tabs for MUSIC, MOVIES, BOOKS, et al. I like to update the quotes page daily so even though the "home" section does not look updated the other tabs may have updated posts. Thanks!!
ADELE 21.
I absolutely ADORE Adele. Her music truly inspires me because I feel that she has such an amazing voice it just motivates you to be great. It is just insanely beautiful to listen to. One of my FAVORITE singers by far. Below is a video of her song "Rolling in the Deep;" ENJOY!

I AM NUMBER FOUR.
I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really good read. Very different story. I don't read much sci-fi but I enjoyed this one. Can't wait for the next book and in the mean time I might catch the movie adaptation. Definitely recommend for sci-fi fans.
View all my reviews
Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books—but we are real.
Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. we have lived among you without you knowing.
But they know.
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They killed them all.
I am Number Four.
I am next.

"in a wakeful doze, I sorrow..." (01/13/11)
Half the night I waste in sighs,
Half in dreams I sorrow after
The delight of early skies;
In a wakeful doze I sorrow
For the hand, the lips, the eyes,
For the meeting of the morrow,
The delight of happy laughter,
The delight of low replies.

"the stars walk backward" (01/09/11)
((this is more like "words" of the day since it's an entire poem))
dive for dreams
or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots
and wind is wind)
trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love
though the stars walk backward)
honor the past
but welcome the future
(and dance your death
away at this wedding)
never mind a world
with its villains or heroes
(for God likes girls
and tomorrow and the earth)

"...the summer beneath the trees" (01/02/11)
"My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"

"If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, bit I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay..."
