[Lyric of the Moment] Starbright
Come home to your place, I’ve got a little while, Till I’ve gotta leave, You know there’s been times, Where I couldn’t lie to your face, But right now I’m looking at you, Through the window of your soul, I know those little dark holes are beautiful, But I, I hear the words I should be saying, I just wish that you could know, I just think that you should know. That...

[Lyric of the Moment] Pull My Heart Away
I'm ripping your posters off the wall, I'm moving the boxes into the hall, I stop when I hear a drum beat call, Must be a sign, it is time. I need to take myself away, From the pillowed hand, On which I stand, and throw me out of the side of a plane, And I'll just see where I land. I will have to pull my heart away, Cause if I never leave, I'll ruin yesterday. It's not like my feet are stuck to...

Couldn't Have Said It Any Better
“Can’t let the foolish post about Roddick’s supposed lack of maturity pass. Roddick’s “yeah, but you already won five” remark is a sign of the man’s humanity–his sense of humor and perspective in the most trying of circumstances, his refreshing refusal to be canned instead of candid.
Roddick has always been a great sport and has always taken the most heartbreaking of defeats like a man,...

[Breathtaking performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ZQJoxae4o&fmt=18 ]
I’ll sing it one last time for you, Then we really have to go, You’ve been the only thing that’s right, In all I’ve done. And I can barely look at you, But every single time I do, I know we’ll make it anywhere, Away from here. Light up, light up, As if you have a choice, Even...

[Lyric of the Week] Consequence
You’re the colour, you’re the movement and the spin. Could it stay with me the whole day long? Fail with consequence, lose with eloquence, and smile. I’m not in this movie, I’m not in this song.
Never, Leave me paralyzed, love. Leave me hypnotized, love. You’re the colour, you’re the movement and the spin. Could it stay with me the whole day long? ...

[Lyric of the Week] Jet Sex
Here is the time for us to know, a secret sky for us to go, You’ve never been before, oh no.
A jumbo jet, just you and me, no parachute, it’s pilot free.
I guess it’s time to go, oh no. Don’t be shy, say goodbye, let’s find out if heaven is a lie.
Never let me go. I’ll never let you fall. Above the clouds, above them all, we draw the lines with smoke...
[Lyric of the Week] Under My Umbrella
When I close my eyes, I can see for miles, There’s comfort in my dark seat, And chaos in the aisles. These eyes are not your eyes, And these eyes are not the color that, Your arid eyes might be. No, I was not around, When those eyes of yours decided so, I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see. When I close my eyes, I remember why I smile, Under my umbrella, ...
[Lyric of the Week] Ache
Isn’t it strange, the way things can change, The life that you lead, turned on it’s head, Suddenly someone, means more than you felt before, House and its yard, turns into home. I’m sorry but I meant to say, many things along the way, so this one’s for you. Have I told you I ache, have I told you I ache, Have I told you I ache, for you? Have I told you I ache, and I...
[Lyric of the Week] Hot Thing
She cold blooded, I love how we meltin’ the ice, She like the sunshine of my life, Cuz all I see is a hot thing, You’re my hot thing, …
You keep my dark sky lit up at night, So bright that you blinding my sight, Cuz all I see is a hot thing, And you’re my hot thing, …
Word, somebody like a flick, It got surprisin’ twists, I write the script, ...

[Lyric of the Week] To the Sky
Its amazing the way the darkness falls, And the truth out there is cold, And nothing to keep you warm, Jealousy and lies within me, I got a feeling the sun wont shine today, And I gotta to know right now, Will I be rich, have everything I want, I stop myself and look to the sky. Oh I got to give myself up to the sky, The only truth is in the sky. Nobody else can tell cause, I’m stuck in a...
[Lyric of the Week] In The Blue
In the blue, in the blue you are, You’re off the screen again, carried by the wind, Oh no. I’ll always be, I’ll always be around, But, you can’t not be found, You always disappear, Where are you? They don’t make ‘em like you, They don’t make ‘em like you anymore, anymore. Out of bounds, out of bounds it seems, I’m tangled in these dreams that mean so much to me, I grab hold, I forget...
[Lyric of the Week] Watchman, What is Left of the...
You can only take so much, You can only take so much, Before you turn to stone. You can only fight so long, You can only fight so long, Before you turn to stone. Please say we’re almost there, Please say we’re almost there, ‘Cause I can’t move another inch, Can’t feel my legs. It takes everything to breathe, It takes everything to breathe, Before you turn to stone. Please...
[Lyric of the Week] But Honestly
Where you off to with that head of yours? Is there somewhere you should be? Was it something that I said the time I held you down, And told you it’s not you, it’s only me, baby? Don’t take what I don’t mean, (Give me back my piece of mind) Don’t say what I don’t mean, (Give me back my precious time) No way you’ll silence me, You’ll see. ...
[Lyric of the Week] Let The Flames Begin
What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things, A memory remains just a tiny spark, I give it all my oxygen, So let the flames begin, So let the flames begin. Oh, glory, Oh, glory, This is how we’ll dance when, When they try to take us down, This is what will be, oh glory. Somewhere weakness is our strength, And I’ll die searching for it, I can’t let myself...

[Lyric of the Week] Back To What You Know
Back to what you know, know, know,
Go back to what you know,
Cause this is impossible,
This is impossible.
Said ain’t no way to make this last,
You’re stuck in the past,
Pedal to the gas,
And drive away.

[ RIDICULOUS DEAL ] $15.99 - Apex Max High Protein...
After the daily workout at 24-Hour Fitness, I stopped by the protein rack to see what was available. Having never used protein powders to supplement my workouts, I decided to give it a try once just to experiment with the results.
After asking the attendant about my options, I settled with the Apex Max High Protein supplement. While the retail price for the bottle is about $47.99 + tax (Link...
[Lyric of the Week] Beautiful Mess
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 I’m paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging. And what a beautiful mess this is, It’s like picking up trash in dresses. Well it kind of hurts when the kind of...

[Lyric of the Week] Pardon Me
A decade ago, I never thought I would be, At twenty-three, on the verge of, Spontaneous combustion, woe is me, But I guess that it comes, With the territory, An ominous landscape of, Never-ending calamity. I need you to hear, I need you to see That I have had all I can take and, Exploding seems like an imminent possibility…

WatchIt boggles my mind that Sarah Palin can just sit there and take the beating without a flinch or a tear. Hilarious, nonetheless.

[Lyric of the Week] 1,000 Things...
And I’m overjoyed, and I’m over loved, and feeling lucky, Like a little boy who’s just, who’s hiding under covers, And looking to discover any way to play the part inside his darkened cave, The meaning of life - it starts at the nightlight, Close your eyes and hope you see mine. And I’ve, well I’ve seen a thousand things in one place, But I stopped my...

Caught Grape-handed
@ Whole Foods:
Daughter: Mom, what are you doing?!
Mother: I'm just trying out the grapes to see if they're ripe or not. Don't you want sweet grapes to eat tonight?
Daughter: Well, yeah...
Mother: Good.
Daughter: But people are going to think we're homeless!
Mother: Oh stop it, they will not.
Daughter: Good thing they're seedless.
"Nonpartisan" My @$$, McCain.
Pulled from the New York Times:
Mr. Biden recalls that after Mr. McCain came under heavy attack from George W. Bush in 2000, he called Mr. McCain and offered to “go anywhere in the country and testify to his character.” Now, Mr. Biden charges, Mr. McCain has embraced the same tactics he once cricitized.
“I tried to talk to John,” Mr. Biden said in the interview. When both men were at Columbia...
Panic
Isn’t it the most frustrating thing when the item that you knew you could depend on most just stops working? And even more frustrating the fact that every single thing you knew about fixing it went out the window?
Such was the case with Firefox this morning, and I’ve never been more perturbed by the malfunction of a piece of free software. It turns out that I had installed an...

Turn Lemons to Lemonade
If you haven’t heard of these already, “magic fruit” have taken the world by storm, and I was fortunate enough to try them tonight.
What “magic fruits” essentially do is trick your tastebuds into thinking sour fruits are sweet, and sweet fruits are sweeter. According to a publication at Columbia University on the anomaly, “magic fruit contains a protein called...
Oh Dear
Do not make the mistake, like I did, of installing Broderbund’s Myst(intended for Windows 95 and earlier) on a Vista Machine. You’ll regret it, I promise.
WatchObama, you tease.
Ouch.
“Hillary Clinton, Obama’s bitter rival throughout the Democratic primaries, also had been in the running for a spot on the ticket. But she was not considered a leading candidate for the job and some of her supporters complained the timing of the 3 a.m. text message was payback to Clinton for her “3 a.m.” attack ads raising doubts about Obama’s experience.”

Finishing the Race [Caution: Tearjerker]
After watching the VISA spot covering Derek Redmond’s tragic, but inspiring loss at the 1992 Olympic games, I couldn’t help wanting to see the real footage capturing the audience’s reaction to Redmond’s courage.
Though hosted in Japanese, the above clip requires no discernable words to convey the highest level of fatherhood and athletic spirit.
Bravo, Derek Redmond,...

Ladies Beware
Overheard on the Metro
Passenger A: Did you hear about China's Olympics scandal? They used 13-year old gymnasts when the cutoff is 16! If they get outed, it will be so embarrassing!
Passenger B: Isn't it more embarrassing that we lost to 13-year-olds?
Passenger A: But...
Passenger B: But we lost to 13-year-olds.
Me: *silent snicker*

Empowering the iPhone & iPod Touch
Because I have not yet been able to convince myself that it is technologically sound to buy an iPhone 3G (for reasons such as this and this), I have opted instead to settle with the combination of my iPod Touch and my 5 year-old LG VX4400. Is it really worth spending an additional $1,500 over 2 years to use one pocket instead of two?
Despite the differences between the iPod Touch and the iPhone,...
Can We Solve It?
NBC aired the typical capitalistic commercials that completely twist the meaning of the Olympic games to sell more fries and Coke bottles, but thankfully a few gems emerged through the rough that weren’t quite so greedy in intent.
The environmentally “green” message has been a beaten, dead horse for years, but never has the point been made in such an in-your-face fashion. ...

Scientists Stop The Ageing Process →
From the article:
“In healthy organisms, a surveillance system inside cells called chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) locates, digests and destroys damaged proteins. Specialised molecules, the “chaperones”, ferry the harmful material to membrane-bound sacs of enzymes within the cells known as lysosomes.
Once the cargo has been “docked”, a receptor molecule transfers...

The Race for Gold
For over a millenium, athletes from across the globe have convened to partake in grueling tests of athleticism. Since its inauguration in 1896, the Olympic Games have represented international harmony and sportsmanlike competition.
More recently, however, incrementally more focus has been placed on each country’s medal count, with media outlets endlessly sensationalizing the golds and...
Giving Tumblr a Go
My previous personal blog (here) has more or less become a Tumblr blog, so I figured giving this service a shot might not be a bad idea. So far, I am greatly enjoying the customizability and look of the templates. This is what Google Pages should have been at launch.
