this week on (my) tv...

biggest loser, yes, i stayed up till 2 to watch the DVRed episode.

two words: in. tents.

that joelle girl has got to go. no one likes you or your snotty friend back home.

and quite frankry... jerry is my favorite, but i am glad he got to spend the rest of the time with his wife. cutest old man ever. couldn't be more proud.

a new show e-rob just got me hooked on:
friday night lights

donelle and i have needed shows to get us going and this has been a good one...

we decided it is basically like a football soap opera.  and therefore my new guilty pleasure.

oh and of course we caught american idol.  it is going to be a good season i think. and because God is good to us, he invented DVR which means we don't have to suffer through both hours of the awful embarrassment that is the squaking auditionees. i really would not be able to do that...

wow. i really have not watched this much tv in all my life combined, i swear. 

no i don't. well, sometimes i do... damn.  that doesn't count...

and maybe i will be watching three episodes of LOST in the next couple of days to get set for the 21st... 

look what my life has become!

no don't.  its actually quite depressing.  

the good news is i really am having fun in my transitory state.

joy in the journey member? 

clear eyes. full hearts. can't lose.

i have been changed.... for. good.

finished the mammoth project. revising it is a roach in the refrigerator.

know its there but don't want to touch it.

instead, monday night i went to a fantabulous concert that, as cheesy at it sounds, i have been wanting to go to all year... possibly all my life. [dramatic head throw]

jason, baby, you rock my world. you is better live and loud and proud than most are in the studio! such an adorable geek in the pink that i was just giddy and 12 the entire time. the friend who took me to said concert was surely ready to puke at any given moment because of the plastered smile and girlish squeals that escaped every 4 minutes at the start of a new song...

the only moment that i shuddered was when he plastered huge pictures of Obama during one of his songs... not that it was Obama per say... well- here are the lyrics... you can decide how you feel about that.


Live High
Jason Mraz

I try to picture a girl
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

[pictures go up somewhere in here...]

Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
And see him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it's laughter that we're making after all

The call of the wild is still an ordination why
And the order of the primates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing of gratitude
Practicing their lovin for you

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Oh live righteously

Take it all,
And just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
You see nothing is ever as it seems
Yeah this life is but a dream

Lift me up to the almighty
Raise your hands and start acknowledging

Live high, live high
Live mighty, mighty, mighty,
Oh live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Oh live righteously
Just take, just just taking it easy
Live high
Oh live mighty, mighty,
Oh live righteously
Take it all, just take it, take it easy
See live high,
Oh live righteously
Just take it easy

great song, but what was once close to spiritual has been tainted a bit for me.

its almost as sticky as watching this:

who filmed this and why does that feel awkward? maybe cause he pulls out some far-too-popish sound before he ends there...



k- so he's flawless. one of the most healthy sounding voices... and i think he should record some church stuff. that would be good for all i think. just don't sing like a pop star in church next time. that bugs.

anyway- awesome concert- i would recommend him to any.
worth every cent... unless you are married...

cause you might want to...er....not be...when he's done with you!!

you know you watched it- you know you loved it...

i plan on making a slightly...er...special confession right now.

but first: the inspiration for the confession:

{the Davids}

i have to admit, from day one i was all over david a.
like a bag o chips.
tonight i was wondering if it was even normal
that i wanted to love him all over
probably not- since he's 17...

but that david c- he pulled it off,
and i have to say i think he will be fun.
both of them will produce well and make great records. it will just be fun to see what a producer will do with david a- he could really go 30 ways. i kind of hope a david foster-type will find him and run.
but david c- you got yous some style and a following already and tha's ah-ight by me.

syesha- love you too, and carrie underwood- what the crapnet was you wearing?
and i sure wish they had recorded that one republic and david a's rendish of "apologize".
{sing it} melting!

lets go here- who doesn't want to be on american idol?

which brings me to my confession:
I DO!!!

every time there is a new artist week i spend most of the week thinking of what i would sing and practicing in the shower as if i were there...
and then at the end of the season i usually cry
because i watch some dude get his dream zapped into reality and i can only imagine what that would be like.

so, i would like to make an addendum to my new years goals this year
(but more realistically it would happen a year from now...)
i am so trying out.

lets be honest- i really just want to rock out a few times on that stage and then get kicked off so i can go perform in some show for a while... honestly- would that we a dream or what?

oh- one more confession:
just purchased "one rock and roll too many" (Syesha) on itunes...
5 times and counting... yum. no—6 now....


oh and speaking of goals: 3 weeks and 1 day off of DDP
i awesome.
