Everclear - Wonderful

I heard this song on the radio today for the first time in forever. Reminds me so much of when my parents divorced when I was a kid, and I was caught in the middle.

My parents divorced when I was 6 or 7. My parents fought alot, and my mother ended up having an affair with my dad's best friend. When I found out, I felt as though she chose a new life and didn't care about me anymore. Of course, that wasn't true... but to a little kid, what else can you think?

Anyway, my parents went through a nasty divorce and a nasty custody battle. My mom re-married, and my dad started dating my mom's best friend (apparently, to get back at my mom) and then he married her. I ended up living with my dad and stepmom -- not exactly the most mentally healthy living environment. They treated me and my sisters like [!@#$%^&*], and my stepbrothers were vile, pathetic excuses for human beings. They constantly told me and my sisters how our mother didn't love us, called her a whore on a regular basis... I hated it. I remember just constantly praying that one day I would wake up and my parents would be back together, we could be a happy family and everything could be normal again... just like all the other kids in school.

Now that I'm older, I'm able to look back on it and actually be thankful for going through it. It gave me a thicker skin, it made me and my sisters incredibly close (they're my rocks) and it certainly gave me life experience. I recently called my father up and had a heart-to-heart with him about the things he and my stepmother did when I was a kid, and it was very therapeutic -- so many things I needed to say. I also had a heart-to-heart with my mom, in which I forgave her for the affair and let her know that she means more to me than anyone imaginable. The day you realize that your parents are humans too, it's amazing what kind of peace you can make by finding the common bond of imperfection.

Anyway, hearing the song I posted above just brought back all these feelings...

The Lives of Others So damn good. It was very compelling. Pan's Labyrinth is so different to this that it is hard to compare the two and say which one deserved the Oscar. I might be leaning to The Lives Of Others.

I saw saw an advanced screening of Knocked Up, The ones behind 40 Year-Old Virgin. While this one definitely has more serious undertones than 40, it was hilarious.

The Roots- Game Theory (album). Then will listen to Mika- Life In A Cartoon (album)

Oh Girl....Paul Young

The video is a mini DC Reunion, as it features Kelly and Michelle

I'm recording an oldie but a goodie tonight: "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"

Brilliant trash!

Thanks to the video thread I laughed my ass of at this:

We can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

Well they're no friends of mine

I say, we can go where we want to

A place where they will never find

And we can act like we come from out of this world

Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance

We can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

Well they're no friends of mine

I say, we can go where we want to

A place where they will never find

And we can act like we come from out of this world

Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance

Dance!

We can go when we want to

The night is young and so am I

And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet

And surprise 'em with the victory cry

Say, we can act if want to

If we don't nobody will

And you can act real rude and totally removed

And I can act like an imbecile

I say, we can dance, we can dance

Everything out of control

We can dance, we can dance

We're doing it from wall to wall

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody look at your hands

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody takin' the cha-a-a-ance

Safety dance

Is it safe to dance

Is it safe to dance

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y

Safe, dance!

We can dance if we want to

We've got all your life and mine

As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it

Everything'll work out right

I say, we can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

Well they're no friends of mine

Is it safe to dance, oh is it safe to dance [6x]

Is it safe to dance

Δεν ξέρω μάτια μου τι θα πει αγάπη,

όλοι μια λέξη λένε κι είν αρκετή.

Μαζί σου έμαθα να ψάχνω αυτό το κάτι

που κάνει δυο κορμιά να αντέχουνε μαζί.

Χέρια ψηλά κι όλα τα φτάνω,

έλα να πάμε απ'την αγάπη πιο πάνω.

Χέρια ψηλά δως μου να ανέβω.

Σ'ένα θεό,σε σένα τώρα πιστεύω.

Χέρια ψηλά κι όλα τα φτάνω,

έλα να πάμε απ'την αγάπη πιο πάνω.

Χέρια ψηλά κι είμαι μαζί σου,

έτσι κερδίζω στη ζωή τη ζωή σου.

Όλος ο κόσμος γύρω λέει σ'αγαπάω

όμως για μας δε φτάνει μόνο ένα φιλί.

Μαζί σου έμαθα τα ρήματα να σπάω,

δες πόσα σ'αγαπώ φωνάζει η σιωπή.

Χέρια ψηλά κι όλα τα φτάνω,

έλα να πάμε απ'την αγάπη πιο πάνω.

Χέρια ψηλά δως μου να ανέβω.

Σ'ένα θεό,σε σένα τώρα πιστεύω.

Χέρια ψηλά κι όλα τα φτάνω,

έλα να πάμε απ'την αγάπη πιο πάνω.

Χέρια ψηλά κι είμαι μαζί σου,

έτσι κερδίζω στη ζωή τη ζωή σου.

Just uploaded "Beautiful Liar (Freemasons Mix)" by Beyonce & Shakira to my mp3 player along with "Shining Star" by Get Far and "Imagine If" by Tara Z.

Kind of a copy of Garden State, but I liked it.

300: Good, but overrated. A bit of a Gladiator feel at times.

Wendy O. Williams - It's My Life, Reform School Girls, Test Tube babies, Butcher Baby

Dubbed "The Queen of Shock Rock," she made Marilyn Manson look like a whimpy poser.

Williams retired in the early 90's and moved to Connecticut. She was a non smoker, non drinker, strict vegetarian, a wildlife rehabilator, and a natural foods activist, but in 1998 at age 48, she committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
