please see my attempt to capsulize a feeling...in a different location.

faith (when i let you down)

you might lose your faith in science.
you might lose faith in wealth.
you might lose your faith in Jesus,
or lose faith in yourself.

but, when I let you down,
look past your doubt.
just, please, please,
don't lose your faith in me.

you could lose faith in music,
or lose faith in your friends.
you could lose your faith in breathing,
feel trapped in your own skin.

but I'll be right there beside you,
when the walls are caving in.
oh, I'm not going anywhere.
But, when I let you down,
look past your doubt.
just please
don't lose your faith in me.
please don't lose your faith in me.

i'm not going anywhere.

spread hope like fire

obama was here the other day...not actually in my home, but more or less 10 minutes down the street. good God that man knows how to cause a traffic jam. u best keep these roads clear if you want me to obama it rather than romney it next year sir....speaking of politics, i hope lincoln chaffee is doing well in ri, as i voted for him and then moved to north carolina. i apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

tonight is game 7 of the stanley cup finals, and the boston bruins are "this" close. i will be routing for them, and realizing that only the red sox are truly the team i have no passion for in new england....speaking of the stanley cup, the playoff beards at game 7 of the finals are so manly that i feel insignificant in my need to only shave twice a week. the stanley cup, i find to be one of the more coveted championships in american sport (mlb, nfl, nhl, nba). i find the stanley cup and world series to be the difinitive champions competition. the super bowl can be won by nearly anybody on a hot streak come jan-feb. and the nba finals are pretty much determined before the season begins. go bruins, and go chisox.

keep a breast ...for reals

is it just me of is the canadian national anthem a much better song than our own anthem?

ancient code of ethics

todays blog comes at you with rants of music, sports, movies, and pretty much the usual things that i tend to blog about.

i know im ab 5 years late for this bandwagon, but, dance gavin dance (please, at least give it till .25 in) has been on heavy rotation in the apartment this week, and makes me dissapointed that i missed out on the "i knew them before you did" rights.

in 85 days i will be 9th row, left center, taking in the sounds of blink-182 for the the 9th time. not to say that this is any grounds for bragging, but in my mind...it totally is.

377 days until i become a mrs. better start figuring out my brides maids....thank God for that movie.

as the temperature drops to 85 today im trying to keep the a/c off as long as possible...its 1030am and im about to give in.

i think i might go see xmen first class today. but with a 6th grade education of professor x and the xmen, i find it hard not to be a cynical jabrone throughout the entire "film". i did enjoi the hangover 2, and yes, i did like it more than the 1st, which i find to be one of the more overrated films in recent years....God he's so emo.

the chisox are 5.5 back, that will be all for them today.

my golf game improves by each carolinian minute. i challenge all takers to a 9 for 9 morning/afternoon.

writers block has settled in, and i will bid you ado.

mest

as i wait for the arrival of a full house this weekend, i can't help but wonder if uncle jesse will come as "pre clean up", mullet and all.

a band that has captivated me this past week is "mest". we all had our mest stage, fun, catchy, energetic pop punk, with reckless abandon, and no concern of impressing music critics. with a description as so, u may think it sounds awful. and to some yes, it probably does. but i remember seeing mest at the 2003 warped tour, and was delighted by an all nude lead singer, with a strategically placed guitar, who cursed like a sailor, and bartered with women in the crowd to "match up" with his outfit of choice. not exactly a show to make mom and dad proud, but there was a certain something ab bands like mest in the early 2000's that is missing in todays "punk/emo/whatever you want to call it" music scene. it was a feeling of knowing that the music they made wasn't ground breaking, but why not have fun and see how far we can push the envelope with this thing. i like to think of blink-182 as being the Godfather of this genre, as they elegantly termed their music as "crappy punk rock"

the bruins are 2 wins for reaching the stanley cup. being in raleigh, and having a need and want to route for the team 15 minutes from my home, and at the same time being a new england native, AND at the same time having a soft spot in my heart for the florida panthers....i am completely torn.

playoff predictions:

bruins over lightning
canucks over sharks

canucks over bruins

heat over bulls
mavs over thunder

mavs over heat

mark my words!

make some noise

good morning. with summer just around the corner, i look forward to the heat waves and sun burns to come, but worry ab the state of sports during the summer here in raleigh. without a professional baseball team closer than atlanta, and colleges on break, i worry if the durham bulls are capable of fulfilling a 3 month sports black hole...only time will tell.

ive had the yogi bear movie from neflix sitting here since easter, as much as i love the voice duo of dan akyord and justin timberlake, it could be sitting here a little while longer.

hot sauce committee part 2, brought to you by the one and only beastie boys, is a great album that fits perfectly in their catalog, and puts "to the 5 boroughs"father estranged from the rest of their work.

is there any guilt to be had for somewhat enjoying the bruno mars album?

osama is dead, our president has a birth certificate, and somehow donald trump is worth our presidents time.

enjoy the weekend and in the great words of travis shettell:

"put your slippers on instead, and live forever"

everyday im shuffling

good God what has happened to the chisox? oh wait, its april, and according to the mlb dictionary, this is all normal and is in no need of medical attention.

speaking of baseball, last thursday was my first trip to a good ol' "durham bulls" game. despite the lack of kevin costner memorbilia throughout the park, the atmosphere is a good one, and the selection on local micro brews provided is simply outstanding. i do find the in between inning entertainment to be...entertaining. but when the games and trivia goes on EVERY inning, something known as "overkill" comes into play.

last night was the wwe draft and i was able to attend at the rbc center, here in raleigh. despite being completely entertained, i was a little dissapointed by the lack of hulkamania t shirts in attendance.

potentially the party rock song of the century...
