“twitter what…twitter who”

disgusting. and i’m hooked.
darn you.

…jennifer beals

i like jennifer beals. i do. a lot. i’ve always associated her with a bicycle and the movie ‘flashdance.’ more recent i know she’s been on a long running showtime series, ‘the l word.’ and now will go on to dazzle the watchers of the show, ‘lie to me’ and is in a new denzel washington film, ‘the book of eli.’

can i just say that i find her absolutely stunning!?!? i find her utterly fascinating…and freaking crazy gorgeous. when it comes to the possibilities of roles she could devastate…hmm…i see no boundaries. aside from acting with those eyes…she’s…

anyway, once in a while mainstream hollywood uses enough fresh creativity to fully use actresses who have this unearthly gift to transcend…there’s this reachability in her…she has it. everyone doesn’t. to me, a lot of it has to do with her eyes…but more so her ability.

not long ago i watched, ‘devil in a blue dress.’ aside from tackling interesting issues, i highly enjoyed the film.

jennifer beals brings an earthy, warm yet hyper-aware intellectualism to the industry. along with my kerry washington post and having this inherent excitement about film, movies…actors and actresses, in general, jennifer has been one of my favorites for a while. i think it’s only the beginning for her and where she can go…artistically and i’m excited about it.

if i were a writer in hollywood, i’d be super busy formulating roles for her that not only were complex and convoluted, but way different, slightly indie…quirky…and she could work all that out. i’d imagine that writers inspired by actresses view them first as blank canvases with crazy abilities…jennifer is a huge canvas with insane pollock aspirations.

insanely…the black keys just popped up on my itunes…
with this song. i effin love the black keys…from akron, ohio…

don’t plan on your fame

i enjoy reading bios about bands, groups, celebs, actors, actresses. i’ve always been terribly interested in the arts. more so popular culture and even more so the story, the inner-workings, the motivations behind the creation, or the artististic human channeling of works.

not only do i love a good performance but i am compelled to find what made the person…create. i want the story behind their existence. i delve to wanna know everything.

in that, i’ve found a helpful amount of artist bios that make their success seem, um…accidental. by chance. and as much as i find that i try to ‘work’ at mine…it never comes.

i suppose i need an…accident.

was reading an article about REM, the band. i recall that their entrance in music came out of wanting free beer.

hmm…

but again, i read about people who give up everything to make their dreams happen…and they do. hence the motivation behind, “the pursuit of happyness.”

who knows…

audio-pational habit

apparently there’s this whole 70s movement taking over in the realm of alternative rock which is mos def cool to me. i love music flavored harmonically and melodiously. i love far-reaching, daydreaming music twilight dances and running through daisies. anything that will take me back to when i was such a carefree little kid and the majority of what i had to figure out was what kind of candy i wanted or what kind of new shoes someone else was gonna buy for me. or how to make coloring books more vibrant or who to wake up at nap time. ahh…anyway…a not so new but no so old new group…70s sounding and ish.

the fleet foxes…with a place i wanna go, mykonos.

and while i’m at it…i’m on this post-racial rumbling amy winehouse trip. watched her live concert on the palladia channel. this chick’s funky as hell and i like her…i do. what a voice!! i know she was BIG for a while, stumbled (heck, we all stumble over onto something or other…the most important reason is to survive or be a better survivor) and i hope she’s doing better with whatever she was stumblin’ about on or over…i’m getting back into her music BIG-like.

it’s december tonight

in a pretty cool double somewhere in german village on a really icy night, i was officially introduced to sigur ros…

to capture my mood in song today. it has something to do with spring, anxiety and more…of spring.

here’s … sigur ros
song…saeglopur

…i appreciate this song for the way it crashes about. sigur ros has a pretty interesting history as i learned that night from a guy who boasted the length of songs in his itunes. it was impressive and enthusiastic. there was a laptop, an ipod, a dog, sigur ros on dvd, later saturday night live, heavy political discussions, a guitar on the floor. my generation.

thanks, sw, ka, bw…and greek food…oh…and wine!

look for upcoming heartbreak commentary on jennifer beals (for the record, i’ve been appreciative since…i can remember ‘flashdance’ and i just saw ‘devil in a blue dress,’ why you shall not plan your own fame (as history shows) and the official heartbreak interview.

and to all a good nite!

do what you are supposed to do!!

i really am just waiting for my tea…but, i’ve sat here and cried and i want you to know why.

a sorta distant friend of mine whom i’ve met once and have gone to a barack obama rally with is crazy talented…and a singer. so there’s this new john legend contest on the radio. you get a chance to submit your version of john legend’s song, “everybody knows.” if your song is selected you win a prize package when john comes into town during his tour.

we insisted that this friend go for it. he did and i just listened to his version and it is AMAZING. it took my breath away, literally. however this young man is working in corporate america and hates it. his voice is freakin AWESOME.

i also went to a play this weekend…talent…sheer talent inspires me deep.

i’m sitting here….waiting for my tea…and am working on some tunes with new software. and it’s making me feel as if i’m in control of my destiny. but just a few ticks of time ago…i was in utter despair because of how i feel about where i am.

so…in my half-state…between here and where i wanna be…my hope for you is that you ‘do what you are supposed to do’ go after that thing that makes you crazy-happy and uniquely you. it’s just a move. and in telling you this, hopefully i’ll be helping myself get more motivated as well.

it’s just a move. the pay-off will knock your socks off.

and just like that…

i’ve made the evening news…again.

hmm…2nd time in two weeks.

meet sir realist…it’s surreal

i woke up this morning feeling odd, kinda sick, weary, too tired…had a headache…worried.

then…

got a call, now i’m nervous, giddy, anticipating…it’s tonight.

i am the evening news.

really. i promise.

always fight for you…the craziest most coolest things can happen in life when you least expect them or…just be sure to grab on when life all of a sudden starts to click in your favor…glory to God.

(remember that!)

it’s march already?

well, it’s definitely not my desire to write anything at all…but because a little bird has requested such…i am…here.

not quite sure what to say or what not to say…knowing that i am in the mood span where music flutters about my ceilings…and emotions bubble light…wanting to expand but feel so tight…

i’ve happened upon some great music:
vetiver-acoustic, cushy alt rock
extra golden-african benga music
lizz wright (not new to me but should be on every good list)-jazz
(i’m copping out…can’t you tell? sorry)
sagarmatha-instrumental rocky rock
the new guilt by association compilation volume 2-really live covers

and that’s it.

i’ve just recently acquired a very scary addiction to a tv show that’s been on for a looooong time. me…late me is just getting into the first season…second…and it’s a horrible horrible, unpretty addiction. i have to watch in measured doses…running between the video store and best buy. and i have YOU to blame and YOU know just who YOU are…and i can’t wait to watch tonight. and i sorta hate your guts.
and i was privy to a bad bad evil vile conversation from someone today that literally made me sick. kinda snatched me out of ‘naive about the world-ville.’ my own happy existence. and i said nothing…this is the saddest part.
and i wanna go back to LA…soon.
and i’m sure it’s gonna snow again here…soon.
and i’m looking forward to summer.
and i need to dedicate myself to my guitar.
and i love food.
and i hate running…but i run (on a break)…i do!
and…i’ve over-extended myself somewhere.
and under-extended myself somewhere else.
and i’m envious my friend is argentina and my other had bleacher seats at the academy awards.
and i’ve written a lot more this year…than almost any other…and it’s published…and i can declare i feel good about that.
and i have new software to make new music.
and i’m trying to sound cool right here…
and i am cleverly evening news.
and and…good night.
and…stay up!
…good night…you can make it.
