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!!

alaskan windsong and GB

i know i know... get back to work!

i am.
and i really am almost done
with the project that will soon eat me alive.

but i found this which made me laugh...



tina fey as tina palin. priceless.
she really is a genius at what she does.

and then this one that made me cry...



again. i just love this kind of thing... and glenn beck

...so much so, that it keeps me from productive work.

oh- and something to look forward to:

...remember that i was going to be

megan marie mraz?

just wait till monday when i will meet my love in person!

yeah- that's right. live high. live mighty. live righteously.

a new love in my life...

it all happened so fast...

i am having a little crush on this guy here...

he comes with me in the car,

then goes straight into the computer at work,

then back in the car,

and the second my hand touches my computer he is back...

obsession?... borderline.

i put up a few of him in the playlist o lerv over there

so you can enjoy,

but really, just go buy it...

like now.

you will love "Lucky" featuring Colbie Caillat,
the one that rob decided needs an grammy this year: "Love for a Child", and
"I'm Yours" or "Live High" - that you will sing all day
and wish your boyfriend could play...
nuff said. so good. all of them.

this one i love...maybe its me...

"A Beautiful Mess"

You've got the best of both worlds

You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,

And lift him back up again

You are strong but you're needy,

Humble but you're greedy

Based on your body language,

your shouted cursive I've been reading

You're style is quite selective,

though your mind is rather reckless

Well I guess it just suggests

that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is

It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write

Kind of turn themselves into knives

And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction'

Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear'

Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice

Your comebacks they're quick

And probably have to do with your insecurities

There's no shame in being crazy,

Depending on how you take these

Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And it's a beautiful mess, yes it is

It's like, we are picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say

Kind of turn themselves into blades

And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard

But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt

Cause here, here we are, Here we are

Here we are

...he is God's gift to words
