Hey guys!
I've heard this song... a LOT lately. Mostly on the radio, and you can tell there are a few differences between the refined song they play on the radio and the unedited song he's playing here... but that's good. I'll give links to both for you to listen to. The first one is footage of him playing at a radio station, it's unedited, it's just him and his guitar, no drummer, no bass, just him. Second one is the one you'll probably hear on a CD.
Again, neither belong to me, but when I hear them, I get a shiver up my spine and I can't help but sing, and I love it. Otherwise I probably wouldn't be telling you about it.
"Alive Again" by Matt Maher
Unedited Footage
Fan video with music from the CD
Anyway, the second one is a fan video and sometimes they get deleted, so let me know if it disappears.
Lemme know what you think!!
Personally I love them both, I think I'll see if my guitar teacher can teach me this one.
Later!!

NCIS
The season began again!! WOO! XD
***********MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!***********
ZIVA'S BACK!!!!
YAY!!
Dang that cliffhanger they left us with at the end of last season sucked! I mean, everything's going semi-ok, sure, Ziva's hanging out in Israel with her dad, so that's kinda sad for Tony... But next thing you know, she's strapped to a chair all beaten up and tortured and stuff! And this terrorist asks her to tell him everything she knows about NCIS.
End of season.
WHAT?!
I am so glad they got Ziva back!! Half of the summer I was convinced she's dead, and the other half I was convinced that she'd find her way out, I mean, she's *Ziva*. She has to! But she doesn't. Exactly how she makes it back, I'll leave for you to find out if you haven't already.
I postponed this post a day so the spoiler wouldn't be too hard on anybody who isn't in my time zone.
Anyways, if you've never heard of NCIS, now is an excellent time to look it up! I mean, they're starting a new season and everything's cool again.
NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Think CSI, but specializing in crimes relating to naval officers.
I'll list the characters by rank, and once I lose track of rank, they'll be in no particular order.
Leon is the director of NCIS. Kinda mysterious sometimes, I couldn't stand him at the beginning of the last season. -Or maybe the season before- Mostly because he split up the entire team for no apparent reason (he clarified later, after putting them back together, mostly redeeming himself.)
Next you've got Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He goes by Gibbs, though some people can get away with calling him Jethro. He's an ex-gunnery sergeant from the Navy and an insanely good sniper. He doesn't say much, but if he's got a gut instinct, 9 times out of 10, it's accurate and you better listen. He's the boss of the team we all know and love. He has to answer to Leon, but Leon takes Gibbs' opinions seriously.
After him, is Anthony DiNozzo, goes by Tony or DiNozzo. He's a major movie buff, and he knows the ins and outs of NCIS almost as well as Gibbs. Also he's a ladies man and appears to have a thing for Ziva. ...Even though that means breaking a rule or two since they work in the same office.
Next up is Timothy McGee, I'm putting him above Ziva because he's been there longer. Now McGee is the technical whiz, and when he and Abby team up, they can figure things out lickety split. He's basically the geek of the squad, and has been given a huge list of nicknames by Tony ranging from Probie to McGeek. And for a geek, by the way, he's pretty cool. Especially the way he handled himself in this most recent episode.
Up next is Abby Sciuto. Now Abby is not just your normal average forensic scientist. She's a genius forensic scientist while being "the happiest goth you'll ever meet." She tried not being goth once... didn't work out very well. She's incredibly affectionate, and loves her Caf-Pow! (Think... and this is my best guess here... Highly caffeinated cherry Icee.) Also she sleeps in a coffin.
I've forgotten Ducky's real name for the moment, but he's the man who finds out how the dead guy died. Basically his job involves poking around a body's insides to find out what exactly went wrong. Sometimes it's easy, like a bullet wound, but other times he has to find out what sort of deadly poison was going through the body's veins and whether or not he himself is gonna croak for breathing that air. Oh! He's Doctor Donald Mallard.
His assistant is James Palmer, who is a medical student I believe, and enjoys shoes.
And last but not least is Ziva David. Pronounced Zeevah Dah-veed. She is an officer originating from Israel and has made her way here. Highly trusted by Gibbs for killing her own half brother who was going to shoot him, she ranks up there with DiNozzo and McGee, she's just newer. She knows a variety of hand to hand fighting techniques, and can be fierce at times, but that's not the only thing about her. She's also clever, may have gotten over her anger towards DiNozzo (considering recent circumstances), and tries to use American phrases but keeps getting them mixed up.
Example:
Ziva: "Well, you know what they say, you cannot make an omelet without breaking a few legs."
Tony: "She's never making me breakfast."
McGee: "Uh, Ziva, it's 'without breaking a few eggs.'" Overall, she's a fun character too, and I am majorly happy that she's back!!
Those are the main characters, and I can't really tell you the plot, since it's a TV series and the plot usually changes a bit from season to season, and well, this season is just getting started!
Anyways, check it out, and enjoy!
Oh, and um... There are some scenes with Ducky that aren't exactly appropriate for kids... So I rate it PG-13, unless you make the kids cover their eyes for a couple minutes.
Later!!

The African Queen
Let's see... Oh right! I said I'd tell you guys about The African Queen!
Ok, it's an older color movie made in the... 50's, I'd guess... Give or take a decade.
Set in World War I, you find yourself in a missionary's church in Africa. The missionary and his sister are playing hymns for the Africans to sing to when you hear a whistle blow and see the steam coming. Friend or foe is unknown just yet, but when a white fellow hops off the steamboat, and comes up to the church, you can tell he's a friend, just by the way he acts.
He tells the missionary and his sister about the war that's going on (they had no idea), and they invite him to tea where he can tell them more. He left soon thereafter.
Shortly after his departure, several soldiers marched into town where they burnt the tribe members' huts -and the church- to the ground and herd all the natives elsewhere. The missionary and his sister can do nothing but watch, powerless against the soldiers' guns.
The next scene, you can see that the missionary has become delirious and dies in his bed. The same day, the man from the steamboat comes by to check in on them and sees the wreckage. He buries the missionary and offers to take his sister down the river. She agrees and away they go.
Along the way they encounter crocodiles, more enemy soldiers, part malfunctions, a broken propeller, leaches, rapids, waterfalls, and the Nazi's own steam boat, complete with a gallows.
Now if you can look past the fact that it doesn't have the latest computer graphics, it doesn't have any hot guys or girls in it, and it doesn't have any rated R scenes, you'll find that it's a really good movie about survival, boating, and just how much you depend on the person you're with when you're out in the middle of nowhere. (Buddy System!)

New Found Land
Hello to my lovely and most patient readers!
Thanks for sticking around with me while I made adjustments. I probably saved up several Word pages worth of space, just by switching most of the lyric posts with YouTube links.
Anyway, I promised I'd tell you about a few books, so here's New Found Land
New Found Land is a story of the Lewis and Clark expedition -otherwise known as the Corps of Discovery- told from many different viewpoints, and none of them have the same voice; a real triumph on the author's part. It is told in a variety of different methods, using poetry, prose, letters, and the occasional ordinary pageful of text that we're used to in our usual books.
Among the points of view are the obvious Captains Meriweather Lewis and William Clark, as well as Sacagawea, York (Clark's slave), two brothers; Reuben and Joseph, two half-Indians (no relation), Seaman (Lewis's dog), a teenager named George Shannon (who lied about his age), and a few others.
I especially enjoyed the entries by Reuben and Joseph, and Shannon. Reuben and Joseph because they were clumped together within the same entry most of the time (nearly everyone else got their own), and you could practically hear them fighting, arguing, and making up, just like I'm sure real brothers do (I don't have any brothers, but my sisters and I are the same way lol). And Shannon because he... Well, he talks a lot. Those three were really funny sometimes, and just had a way of lightening up an occasionally dense moment.
What I really like about this book is that all the characters are real. Not just real as in, they existed, but the author wrote out a story about our history, our heritage, something that most kids might cringe at, in an incredibly fascinating way. It's mostly historically accurate, but it's not told in the extra dense way the average history book is. The characters are alive. They're relatable. They do smart stuff and they do stupid stuff. They fall in love. They get annoyed. They threaten to kill anyone who steals their stuff again, even if it starts a full-out war with an Indian nation. They're real.
This story, New Found Land, I highly recommend to anyone who's ever taken an interest in Lewis and Clark, as well as anyone who hasn't, but simply enjoys a good, well-written book.
However, it is a little bit graphic at times, so I'd recommend it mostly to people over 12 or 13, depending on what they're used to.
Til tomorrow!

Another Update:
Hey, still making some adjustments... Fixing links up and stuff.
Lemme know what you think once I'm done, but until then, there's probably not gonna be anything new. ...Which kinda sucks since I finished reading New Found Land, The Hunger Games, and Betsy and the Emperor, and saw The African Queen last night. Also I have a really good song comin' up soon.
Til Tomorrow!

Update
Hey guys!
I decided to do go in a different direction with this blog... The full song lyrics are taking up way to much space, and if I want anyone new to it to check it out, who knows? Maybe their attention span is too short to look through all my posts! ...Well, I've got 50+, I don't blame them if they do.
Anywho, I'm gonna be making changes to most of my music posts to save space. Also I'll be adding the occasional little random thing that I find interesting... They probably won't have anything to do with my title, but I'm just trying to keep things interesting.
The changes might not be shown immediately, it could take a day or two; but it'll be ready before too long!
Well, I'm off to fix stuff!
Later Gators!

Probably some time tomorrow, actually.

September 11th, 2001
Never forget, ok?
Now, I know there's probably a lot of you out there who were way too young to remember any of it... But I remember exactly what I was doing that day.
I woke up early, at about 4 in the morning. I had slept in the living room so I'd be able to hear my family moving around, getting ready. All my stuff was already ready. My clothes were folded on the end of the couch, and my life jacket and lunch box were on top. I got up, scrambled into my clothes, put my hair in a pony tail, and scarfed down my breakfast. I had never been fishing before, so I was excited.
I got in the car with my family and turned on the defrost button. The leather was cold on my back, despite wearing a t-shirt, two sweaters, and a jacket. When the windshield was finally clear enough to see through, we backed the car out onto the street and set off. The drive was a long one, I don't remember how long, but it took awhile.
When we finally got to the docks, I stepped out of the car and took a minute to enjoy the air. There's a certain smell that fishing water has... I don't know how to describe it, but I love it. We went down to my uncle's boat and he steered us into a good fishing spot. It was so dark though, dawn hadn't yet come, that I couldn't tell how we were supposed to know if there was a fish on the line. ...I'd find out soon enough.
We put the bait on our hooks and cast the lines. We were using glow in the dark lures, but they were soon just barely visible in the water. And, we, like every other fishermen before us (and there were a lot on the water that day), waited. And waited. And we waited some more.
The sun rose, and my uncle thought he felt something at the end of his line, so he reeled it in using a technique gained from years of experience. There wasn't anything on the end of the line, the tricky fish ate his bait and the lure. So he cast it again, and we all waited some more.
It was starting to get hot out now, it was about noon, so I pulled off my jacket and sweatshirts, leaving the t-shirt on under my life jacket. We set up the poles in these hook type things so if a fish got hungry, we wouldn't lose the poles. Then we had our lunch; sandwiches.
More time went by, and finally a fish was caught. Followed by another. One snagged on my line, and I attempted my uncle's technique, everything was going good, I got it above the water, it was flopping like crazy, my uncle got the net out, and the fish jiggled off.
If nothing else, at least I got a laugh out of that one, it's not every day I get splattered in the face by a wet fish tail!
We fished for a few more hours before my uncle steered the boat back to the dock.
We left the boat, I remembered my extra shirts, and we got back in the car. On the way home, I turned the radio on to hear that there was a state of national emergency, two planes crashed into the twin towers.
I wasn't sure what to make of that, after all, could something *that* bad possibly happen on such a good day? But after watching the news that evening, I knew that yes, something absolutely terrible can happen on an otherwise perfect day.
So what I'm saying here is... Please don't forget. No, it wasn't a good day in our history, but it happened. So fly the flag, show some pride in that we made it through. Remember those who didn't make it, and rejoice for those who did.

"So Long Self"
Hey guys!
I got another song for you. Again, I'm sorry for the lack of variety, but at least I got something for you instead of being absent for a month... again... XD
Music doesn't belong to me. Tis the sole property of the musician. Not me.
"So Long Self" by MercyMe

Again, the music isn't mine. It belongs to MercyMe. Nor is the music video mine, that belongs to MercyMe and whoever produced it. But you still gotta check it out lol.
Oh, and I'm almost done with my book, gimme maybe two more days (or one completely devoted to reading) and I'll have something new for you, and I'm thinking I'm gonna watch movie number two in the Librarian series. I already saw number one (where he first got the job and had to find a really important spear) and three (where he fell in love with a vampiress), but not number two. They're pretty good movies, way better than the other stuff I've been watching this summer. Think... Modern day Indiana Jones, except you multiply the booksmartness by several times and subtract the whip and hat. I'll give a better description when I see number two.

"Unwritten" and "Pocketful of Sunshine"
Ok, how many of you guys are like me and can hardly wait for school to officially start (or if it has, you're lovin' it)? That smell of new books, new pencils and paper, a fresh binder filled with all the things you need? Maybe some new gizmos for a tech class? Gosh, I love it. The anticipation is insane! I've got everything I need and I can hardly wait for it to start for real, but I gotta relax... slow down. Yeah, you can probably call me a geek... I won't mind lol but there's just something about new materials, new books, a new school year... I love it. I know, I know, gimme a few months and I'll probably be over it, but for now... just for now, it's good.
I've always loved new books, pencils, pens, and paper anyway... Comes from aspiring to be a writer, I think.
And... I still haven't finished this book (cut me some slack, it's almost 500 pages long!), nor have I seen any good movies (seriously slacking off in that department... I'll see about checking out what we've got at the video store sometime soon.) So once again, some music.
The music belongs to Natasha Bedingfield. Hint: I am not Natasha Bedingfield. Therefore, it does not belong to me. Gotta love logic...
Edit: It has come to my attention that neither of these songs can be found at the designated links any longer. As a result, I'll try to find new links, but if I can't, this post may be deleted.

And another one, just 'cause I'm feeling good and like a double post might be nice today lol
Now personally, I have no idea how butterflies can replace tears... but I suppose they make people happy, so maybe it works... Anywho, once again, both songs belong to Natasha Bedingfield, not myself.
Just felt like posting them both because they're feel-good songs, and, well, I'm feelin' good!
Once again, comment if you like or dislike stuff, wanna suggest something, or just feel like saying hi!
Til Tomorrow!!

"More Beautiful You"
Hey, still no new movies, and I'm sorry about that...
But this is another one for you girls out there, but maybe some of you guys, ones with sisters, wives, or daughters, can enjoy it too.
The music is not mine. The lyrics aren't mine. The voice is not mine. Which means... The whole thing belongs to Jonny Diaz!

"Starting Over"
No movies... I'm in the middle of a really awesome book, but I can't post it yet... More music? Hmm... I could add more music...
Hope you guys don't mind the slight repetitiveness of my recent schedule... but the fact of the matter is, none of the movies I've seen lately are really worth telling you guys about, and I read so many books this summer they're all kinda a blur. So music is my stand-by.
The likelihood of this music belonging to me is roughly the same amount as the likelihood of someone getting me to listen to the Jonas Brothers... It ain't gonna happen.
As always, this song doesn't belong to me.
I don't know about you guys, but this song really makes me think about what my original inspiration was when I started writing this blog.
Was it fans? Was it to share my favorite stuff with my friends? Was it just a way to blow time? Was it an excuse to write out and discover a lot of music, books, and movies? Was it an attempt to teach myself to quit procrastinating? Maybe it was all of the above?
I gotta go, but I'll be thinking on that overnight.
Til tomorrow!

"Starting Over" by Audio Adrenaline
Look at your face,
Doesn't shine the way it used to.
Look at your eyes,
They don't sparkle anymore.
Look what you've done,
You ruined it for everyone.
Who told you that you had to lose your innocence?
I,
I'm starting over,
I,
I'm starting over.
Tell me how
I get back to my childhood.
I used to think
It was so naive,
I was so naive...
Look what I've done,
I ruined it for everyone,
I should've held on harder to my innocence.
I,
I'm starting over,
I,
I'm starting over.
It's never too late,
It's never too late,
For starting over.
Reclaim your innocence,
Start over.
Reclaim your innocence,
Reclaim your innocence,
Start over,
Start over.
I,
I'm starting over,
I,
I'm starting over.
It's never too late,
It's never too late,
For starting over.

"The Best Thing"
I... Am bored outta my mind. So I decided to listen to as much music on my list as possible and post a new song. Still doesn't belong to me.
"The Best Thing" by Relient K
The song doesn't belong to me. I'm more likely to own Nemo's Nautilus than this.
I dunno... I like it. It's been described as the anti "Bad Day" song, which, I must say, is prettty accurate. Maybe I'll post "Bad Day" tomorrow so you can see for yourself lol.
Anyways, as per usual, if you like it, comment! If you don't like it, comment gently! If you have a suggestion, comment! If you have a question, comment! If you just wanna say hi, hey, I won't bite! Comment! Please? Lol I have no idea what to do differently unless you guys comment. See how important that is? Your words are what brings me forward, into the future. So tell me what you like, don't like, how you feel, your favorite song, band, book, author, movie, videogame, whatever.
Til Tomorrow!

"Kryptonite"
Hey guys! I'm happy to say that I kept my promise!! Tonight's song is called "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down. I'd have posted it earlier, but right when I was done listening to it, another song popped up so I posted the new one instead. Which is slightly frustrating, you have no idea how confusing my filing system for music is. *Sigh* I can never tell if I wrote down the same song twice or what, but it's annoying.
Anywho, here it is! Oh, and just in case anybody has forgotten my usual note in my absence... The song doesn't belong to me. Never has, never will. Oh, and unlike most of the others, this isn't the official music video made by the company... It's a fan vid, but they did a really good job. Since it isn't official, lemme know if it ever gets deleted, I'll find another one.

Again, the song doesn't belong to me. It just gets stuck in my head like crazy lol.
Quick question for all you comic book fans out there... how come when Clark can't take the time to change in a phone booth, nobody notices him ripping his shirt off and having a giant red "S" on his chest? Hmm...? Same for Spiderman, I know you all saw that scene. What's with the shirt ripping? I know they gotta change into their secret identities and stuff, but both Superman and Spiderman work in newspaper offices, they should know a bit more about paparazzi and that sort of thing. Just sayin'.
And no, your answer can't be that the whole city is focused on something else. Sure, we don't always pay attention to stuff, but at least one person in the crowd must notice that Peter Parker is pulling his clothes off for a Spidey costume underneath. Or that Clark Kent looks remarkably like Superman, minus the glasses.
Tell me truly, is it the whole hiding in plain sight thing? Or do telephone booths just have too many windows nowadays?
Later!

Hey
Guys,
I just wanna apologize. Country Month was uber suckish due to my slow computer. To make up for it, I'll be posting country music throughout the year as well as the usual mix of semi-random stuff. Anyways, I have good news though, my computer has officially been tuned up, got some brand new memory, and is good as new! So now you can yell at me all you want if I don't post lol. ...Did I mention that I'm a born procrastinator...? Workin' on it though.
Anywho! We'll be starting back up with the regular schedule pretty soon, I've got a whole huge list of music to post, and I even read a bunch of awesome books this summer. Some historical fiction, some girly books, The Phantom of the Opera (Yes! I finished that one!!!), and several others. Movies though... Ugh. The usual awesome summer blockbusters haven't come out on DVD yet, so I've seen enough lame ones to last me a long time. And don't even get me started on reruns!
Well, I just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive, my computer is running better than ever, and I hope to get back on schedule asap. Thanks for sticking with me, those comments once in awhile mean a lot.
Talk to you soon! (And I mean it this time!!)
