Yo!

I just need to get two things off my chest.. they're super important.
1) I think it's hella funny/crazy/ironic when an opening act outdoes the main act at a concert and fans "convert".
2) I'm a big horror movie wuss (to the point where commercials for horror movies give me nightmares), and although the commercial for "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" is more creepy than scary, I couldn't help but think it was clever and I started giggling during one commercial when the doctor said, "I can't help her." and someone goes, "Why not?" and he says, "There's no injection for the devil."
Yeah, that's it.

HEY!  HEY!  HEY!  HEY!  HEY!  HEY!  HEY!  Did I get your attention yet?  Good.  The Live 8 DVD is coming out soon on Nov. 7, so buy it (I'm SO buying it b/c i couldn't watch it on MTV/VH1 and then I'm buying Live Aid too b/c I haven't yet).  Because it rocks your socks' pet squirrels, that's why (translation: All profits of the DVD go to Africa, kids).  I know you're wearing a ONE band or at least you wished you were because all the (really really really) awesome kids wear ONE bands for the sake of making poverty history.  Therefore, YOU (yes, you) are super all for this cause (oh wait, no, it's not a cause, it's an emergency. REMEMBER THAT!) and you must (or at least you should) buy the Live 8 4-disk DVD.  An article on it's here: http://nme.com/news/113604.htm

And NOW!  Here's the continuation to the blog because I just know you were looking forward to it..

::turns on funky disco music::

And so you're back from outer space!
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face!
I should have changed that stupid lock!
I should have made you leave your key!
If I'd had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me..!

Oh go on now go, walk out the door.
Just turn around now
'Cos you're not welcome anymore.
Were you the one who tried
to break me with goodbyes?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I!
I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive.
I got all my life to live
and I got all my love to give.
and I'll survive... I will survive! Hey hey!

Today's lesson: Go outside and take a deep breath.  It ain't long until you stop having the privilege to do that.

as the music played I saw my life turn around

Bye for now.
