The exact opposite in fact.

Barely. Life has been interesting lately. Lots of downs, but the ups are much more abundant. And more important.
<br />I finally got out to Austin to visit my sister. It was a short trip, but one of the funnest I have had! Drunken bar games, secret beaches and generally causing mayhem. I love her and I miss her everyday. But I am still incredibly proud of her for living her dream.
<br />Life in the SLC has been a whirlwind. I spend a lot of time with Stef and Traci which is so good for me. Dunno where I would be without those two. Found a best friend in the least likely of places, in Brenda. She's been a huge strength for me and its nice to have someone who thinks on my level.. Example in this conversation: "Ky, we have not gone to a drive in or bowling once this summer." "By that I hope you mean drunken bowling.." "Is there any other kind?" Haha. I also bought a bike. She's a beauty. I named her Naya. She and I tear up the town! Reconnected with the exex girlfriend as well. I can honestly say I didn't ever see that happening. Now that it has, I can't imagine it not. We've both grown a lot. Its nice that we can be friends without our past being much of an issue. I like her friends a lot. I like her confidence even more. I am glad we can be grown ups. She gets me, and its nice to have that.
<br />I like the people I surround myself with. Feeling like they actually want ME around is refreshing.
<br />I have seen some amazing concerts in the last six months. Arcade Fire & Local Natives, Deftones again (such an amazing show), Coheed and Cambria again (that show came right when I needed it), Explosions in the Sky, the Decemberists, Edward Sharpe, and this past Sunday was Adele. Real talk, that shit was like a religious experience. And Wilson Philips on Sept 9th! Hold on for one more day!!
<br />I am headed to Austin in September for Austin City Limits. I have never been to a big music festival like that before, so I am stoked!
<br />I suppose that is all for now...until next time (most likely 6 months from now)...kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-29972674038640831862011-03-21T11:26:00.001-06:002011-03-21T11:26:25.238-06:00Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that.<p><object width='425' height='355'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Ty_LAi0dleU&rel=1'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Ty_LAi0dleU&rel=1' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='355'></embed></object></p>Oh hey, internet. Long time, eh? Well I think I will more than make up for it with this post. Sometimes I forget how much I like Broken Social Scene. Silly thing to say but its true. Well yesterday thanks to a ridiculous cough I can't seem to shake, I spent most of the day in bed. I was looking on demand for a movie to watch but in the background I heard Broken Social Scene. They were advertising a movie called "This Movie Is Broken". One of the best movies I've seen in a while! I'm not going to review it here or anything. It just got me reflecting on the last few years of my life, and back listening to an amazing band. My life feels a little up in the air right now, but I've got good people around me and I'm thankful for that. I'm doing my best to see the silver lining here, if you will, and I'm feeling optimistic. <br/> <br/> <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.7</div>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-65612523952687853192011-01-14T20:07:00.003-07:002011-01-14T20:09:48.094-07:00So I'm a little late...I’ve been writing this blog for a few days now partly because I’ve been super swamped with work, gym, and just life in general. Also partly because it’s taken me a while to work through my feelings and emotions, internet blogs, news stories, interviews, and everything else relating to this topic.<br /><br /> <br /><br />I work for Comcast dispatch and deal with our technicians in Utah and we also handle our techs in Tucson, AZ. On January 8th around 11 o’clock, we had a few tech supervisors call and advise us that they were dealing with a shooting, so it would affect the tech routes. I had no idea what had really happened and watched in horror with our dispatch department as more and more information was released. I’m sure that most of you are aware of what happened, if not all of you, so just a quick overview:<br /><br />U.S Rep from Arizona Gabrielle Giffords was holding a constituent meeting at a Safeway in Tucson when 22 year old Jared Lee Loughner opened fire shortly after 10 AM. 19 people in total were shot, 6 of them fatally wounded. Included in the victims was Rep. Giffords (shot in the head, underwent surgery, and according to doctors is on her way to a miracle recovery), Chief Judge John Roll (deceased), and Christina-Taylor Green (deceased) a 9 year old little girl who was born on September 11th 2001. Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this blog, I would just like to say that I am so sorry to the victims and their families in this tragedy. And I think it’s important that we remember that the family of the shooter are also victims, as they have lost a member of their family as well. Because of his selfish, senseless actions, families have been ripped apart and these people’s lives will never be the same.<br /><br /> <br /><br />A few hours after the shooting, the internet was abuzz with a picture that had been posted on Sarah Palin’s facebook page in November. The picture, posted here, is pretty self explanatory.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLtwEInMEdkFwWtweppw1-d5lOJFBs5z_67Nep7wYUx3cuVFFqNtGGgxcBRMB-8dCrH5GccDCmCA0H36l040V6GXiEN8HeCJ6zeTYCjrz28LQW2P5DKrfIonrJApskQuFjgRpN62PrES4/s1600/sarah+palin+map.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 197px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLtwEInMEdkFwWtweppw1-d5lOJFBs5z_67Nep7wYUx3cuVFFqNtGGgxcBRMB-8dCrH5GccDCmCA0H36l040V6GXiEN8HeCJ6zeTYCjrz28LQW2P5DKrfIonrJApskQuFjgRpN62PrES4/s320/sarah+palin+map.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562244404646236658" /></a> <br /><br />Yes, those are graphics of a target, as you would see through a scope on a gun. And yes, that is a target over the state of Arizona, aimed towards Rep. Giffords. And if that message wasn’t clear enough, that is her name 4 lines down. The first thing about this picture I heard was “blame Sarah Palin! It’s all her fault.” If you know me, or have been reading this blog since the first post, you will know that I am an Obama supporter. I am a registered democrat, living in Salt Lake City which makes me close to a liberal around these parts. I am a bisexual mixed race woman and in order to be true to myself, could never be a supporter of what Sarah Palin stands for. I believe in stronger gun control, I believe in a woman’s right to choose, and I believe that love is love and whatever goes on between 2 CONSENTING ADULTS is none of my business. But, against all that, I tried my hardest not to blame Sarah Palin for this. I don’t want to be a democrat that just goes against the republicans for the sake of the argument. So I’ve put a lot of thought into this and here is my conclusion, for those of you who care. (Hi Heather!)<br /><br /> <br /><br />What responsibility does Sarah Palin hold in this tragedy? She didn’t pull the trigger. That is what we first need to remember. She does not hold full responsibility. The shooter is responsible for his actions. But what role does she play in this? For as long as I can remember, rappers, actors, directors, video game developers, and Hollywood as a whole has been blamed for countless situations just like this one. A few years ago, a boy killed his little brother and when asked why said that he wanted to be like Dexter, a fictional character on the Showtime series of the same name. I remember that during the Columbine shooting, parents, teachers, and the media were blaming the music of Marilyn Manson. But I’ve always been a firm believer that video games, music, TV, and movies should not be blamed for violence. Those things are here for our ENTERTAINMENT. It is not real. And if someone does not understand the difference between real life and entertainment, there is something wrong with them. It is not fair to blame the entertainers. So shouldn’t the same hold with Sarah Palin and this disgusting picture posted on her website? So I sat with that for a bit. But my answer is no. She is absolutely responsible. Besides the fact that she obviously feels guilty because within hours the image was removed. Sarah Palin is a real life person pushing a real life agenda. She is in the public eye because she wants people to see things from her view point. She wants people to support her political stance. She, as with every other politician, is trying to make the American people see things her way, because she believes she can better our nation. And I am not here to bash that. Politics always has been and always will be about different viewpoints and opinions and everyone is free to have their own. But she is real. Slim Shady is not a real person. It is Eminem’s alter ego, who is actually another alter ego of the real person Marshall Mathers. So when Marshall raps as Slim Shady or even Eminem about hitting women, killing his wife, or shooting Dr. Dre, that is fiction. When Sarah Palin creates and posts this image on the internet with the caption “Don’t retreat, reload!”, that is real life. Now while I get that she wasn’t literally saying “Let’s go shoot these bitches because they voted for ‘Obamacare’” posting that photo was irresponsible.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Again, I am not saying that this shooting was all Sarah Palin’s fault. What I am saying is that someone who is aiming for a chance to run this country should really think about the message they are sending. You never know who is listening.kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-71624119405428575662010-12-08T15:10:00.001-07:002010-12-08T15:10:24.472-07:00Just as free.......free as we'll ever be. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> If you've not listened to Free by the Zac Brown Band, you really should.

Yup. That's right, I'm back at my mom's house, because I am that awesome! :) Actually, I would like to go back to school someone in this century. So that's what I'm doing. It's not bad at all. I like hanging out with my mom and she pretty much leaves me alone to do my own thing. I certainly miss living with Manda, but we make it work. <br/> I can't believe its already November! I'm looking forward to the holidays this year. Especially because Heather is coming home! I hope she has an accent. Haha.

I feel like I've been listening to the same stuff over and over. I don't have an ipod still (sad face!!) so when I listen to anything, it's whatever is on my itunes, on Manda's ipod, or on the radio. Over it. HOPEFULLY I will be getting a new ipod soon and this band will for sure make the cut : ) Although I plan on getting the 160gb, so there will be no cut to make. Ha! Thumbs up and enjoyyyyyyy!<br /><br /><br /><object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VppnteRfb-s&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VppnteRfb-s&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u0zRxxBKZ1A&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u0zRxxBKZ1A&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-69255197362304146442010-05-28T09:59:00.002-06:002010-05-28T10:24:03.881-06:00It's not all that ironic, it's really just unfortunate.So a few days ago, I was reminded about how much I LOVE the Jagged Little Pill album. I remember sleeping over at my grandma and Papa's and I was listening to it and reading the words out of the booklet, trying to memorize how she said every word. Don't even worry that I listened to the entire album the other day at work, and just couldn't even help myself from singing along. There has been an argument about the song "Ironic" for as long as I can remember. Critics say that nothing she says is really ironic, it's just bad luck. Here, read this: <br /><br /><strong>it is ironic, isn't it? (1996)</strong><br /><em>Alanis Morissette has taken more than her share of hits for the song "Ironic." Critics have argued that she doesn't really understand the meaning of the word, and that the examples of irony she gives are simply not ironic. To be perfectly honest, I'm more surprised that there are music critics who do know what "ironic" means than I am that there are 21 year-old pop singers who don't. But that's a whole other essay.<br /><br />It's not an easy word to define. Not even language scholars agree on whether a certain situation is "ironic" or not. For instance, if Alanis and Moose (Alanis's childhood costar cum nemesis) both moved independently to LA from Ontario and later became lovers, some would argue that this situation by itself constitutes irony. On the other hand, if Alanis and Moose each moved because they individually were convinced that Ontario was devoid of potential mates, and then met each other at a bar in LA, that would be ironic. So in the interest of fairness, and erring generously in her favor, I took the time to examine the lyrics of Alanis's song, and discover for myself what was truly ironic and what wasn't. Results are tallied below:<br /><br />1. "An old man turned ninety-eight/He won the lottery and died the next day."<br />While an amusing (if morbid) coincidence, there is nothing particularly ironic about the death. It is certainly an awe-inspiring sequence of events -- the gentleman celebrating his 98th birthday, winning the lottery, and dying all in a two day period. What kind of shitty luck is that? The ineffective slant rhyme, btw, is a little jarring, too.<br /><br />2. "It's a black fly in your Chardonnay."<br />The irony here is that there is nothing remotely ironic about this line. In perhaps her one sweet moment of unadulterated genius, Alanis has shown us the true meaning of irony by giving an example of it that isn't ironic at all! Get it? It's a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning: the textbook definition of irony! <br /><br />3. "It's a death row pardon two minutes too late."<br />This one's kind of a coin toss, and really depends on the context. Imagine the following situation: Jimmy is black and has allegedly murdered fifteen people in Texas, with malice aforethought. No doubt he's going to fry, right? All the while, his pretty young Public Defender facing obstacles both legal and societal, struggles to overturn Jimmy's conviction. The actual killer, as it happens, was the son of a cattle rancher whom Jimmy'd stripped of a football to make the winning play at the cattle rancher's son's homecoming game. The pretty young Public Defender, after years of searching, finally discovers the blood-stained sand wedge the cattle rancher's son used in the murders, covered up and down with his incriminating fingerprints. The PYPD races to the aid of Jimmy, with whom she's fallen in love and doesn't care who knows, and receives a stay of execution for her wrongly-accused beloved. But irony of ironies: the pretty young Public Defender forgot to set her clock forward for daylight savings time, and Jimmy's already been dead for two minutes while she's breathing a sigh of relief in the Governor's office as the Governor, bewildered, makes the phone call only to discover to every one's dismay that Jimmy's already toast and now he has to break the news to the pretty young Public Defender, who isn't going to take this little zigzag of kismet well, one suspects. Now, that's ironic. That was so easy, there's no way I'm giving Miss Thing credit for it.<br /><br />4. "It's like rain on your wedding day."<br />Nope.<br /><br />5. "It's a free ride when you've already paid."<br />Sorry, no. Alanis seems to think that "irony" means "bad timing".<br /><br />6. "It's the good advice that you just didn't take."<br />This is very close! Ignoring good advice is ironic, but only if the listener suffers some kind of befitting karmic punishment as a result. Alanis gets half a point for the setup, but because she only sketchily implies the irony, we cannot grant her full credit.<br /><br />7. "Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly/ He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye/ He waited his whole damn life to take that flight/And as the plane crashed down he thought, Well, isn't this nice?"<br />This quatrain is truly a feather in Alanis's cap, because it contains not one, but two legitimate instances of actual, honest to God irony. A) It is, indeed, ironic that someone who is afraid of flying would die in a plane crash during his first flight; it's an unexpected disruption in the normal course of events that gives us insight into human folly. And B) said someone is being, you guessed it, ironic when he says, "Well, isn't this nice?" since we must presume that he is being sarcastic.<br /><br />8. "It's a traffic jam when you're already late."<br />See No. 5. When Alanis finds a concept she likes, she runs with it.<br /><br />9. "A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break."<br />Oh, come on. You were doing so well with the plane guy.<br /><br />10. "It's like ten thousands spoons when all you need is a knife." <br />If the speaker is rifling through a silverware drawer which is known to contain knives, then this is ironic. If she's in a spoon factory, it isn't.<br /><br />11. "It's meeting the man of my dreams/ And then meeting his beautiful wife."<br />The implied irony here is that Alanis has searched high and low for her soulmate, finds him only to discover that, wouldn't you know it?, he's married. Sheesh, all the good ones are taken, aren't they? But a moment's consideration will show that the situation is actually in no way ironic, since we would expect all the good ones to be taken. What would be ironic would be to meet some ugly, stupid, fat kid that Alanis spurned while a cast member of Nickelodeon's You Can't Do That on Television, and then meet his beautiful wife.<br /><br /><br />Final Tally<br />Attempts at describing irony: 11<br /><br />Successful attempts: 2.5<br /><br />Confusion of irony with "poor sense of timing": 6<br /><br />Completely missing the term: 3<br /><br />Now that you have the stats, you can wow your friends with your overwhelming command of both pop culture and the English language. The painful truth of the matter is that Alanis apparently did not quite center herself over the concept of irony before she and songwriting chum Glen Ballard sat down to compose the catchy ditty.<br /><br />I believe, though, that we should not be so quick to judge. Winona Ryder's character in Reality Bites couldn't define "ironic" and had to have dopey Ethan Hawke explain it to her. And it took me longer than I'm comfortably prepared to admit to determine which of Ms. Morisettes vignettes were legit. So, Schoolhouse Rock it aint, but I'd like to see you do better with a song about assonance or hyperbole.</em><br /><br /><br />So is it luck? Is it irony? Is it just bad timing? Whichever way you look at it, I think you should watch Alanis perform with Crystal Bowersox from American Idol. I didn't watch even 1 single episode this season. But I did get recommended this little cutie on youtube because of my Jagged Little Pill playlist. Hella kudos for Crystal to hold her own on the stage with such a powerful talent. They both sound amazing, and the angsty little 10 year old inside of my heart got goosebumps, I'm not even trying to lie.<br /><br /><br /><object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qm4iII-EEcM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qm4iII-EEcM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed></object>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-57762662647244050862010-05-08T10:02:00.004-06:002010-05-24T16:18:53.133-06:00My saister is covered in moles.Not really. If you know my sister, or if you have eyeballs, you know she's beautiful. I am lucky to be one of the people in the world that has a great relationship with my sister. Yeah when we were younger we fought and even now that we're adults we've had our...rough patches. Ha. But all in all I'd say we have a pretty good relationship. When one of us is acting like a jackass, the other has no problem pointing it out. Heather is a really great person. She's such the hostess. She's always taking care of people, making sure everyone is ok, and she has always put me before herself. Ever since we were little kids. She's always made sure that I'm taken care of before she worries about herself. She's super fun to be around (UNLESS SHE'S HAD HARD ALCOHOL. HEED MY WARNING PEOPLE haha jk sister) and we are always laughing together. She's smart, witty, and has a killer taste in music. She has a cute style. Trendy with her own unique twist. Whatever MAN is lucky enough to end up with her will have his hands full. But I swear he'll be one of the luckiest sonsabitches in the world.

Been needin you, wantin you...<br /><br />That's a beautiful song. <br /><br />It has been quite a long time since I've blogged. We moved back to Rose Park, back in the house on 6th north and I'm LOVING it. But unfortunately, I didn't have the internet for awhile in the move. Hence the lack of blogging. But I've got the internet again and I promise to keep up. :) On a related note, I have started working for Comcast and I absolutely LOVE it. I enjoy the people that I work with, but that's been true at almost all of my jobs. For once, I actually enjoy the work that I do. If you know me, you know that I'm a movie/tv junkie! So working in a place where we hear about all the newest shows and movies and things that are coming out is awesome! Plus I'm not talking to customers which is a bonus! : ) Also, the free cable and internet isn't too shabby! : ) I get so many channels that I don't even know what to do with them! So I can finally get back to watching Chelsea Lately, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and How To Make It In America. Oh and The United States of Tara. I love that show. I'm getting off track...<br /><br />I didn't know if I should make this into a music blog or a what's new with me blog. But clearly, I've already been talking about what is new with me, so I suppose I'll continue with that as well as talk about all the new music I've been listening to. <br /><br />Manda and I got a new puppy. She is so cute and sweet. She is a malmute/husky/border collie mix. She's got one brown eye and one blue. Her name is Zoe, although I call her Zoe 2 Toes. And we call her anything from Zoe to Joey, Sophie and Chloe! I feel like a mom mixing my kids' names up! :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7xrsm6LnRBny7lma5PekPulMvMka_N6yHt4qxoBxTB_b1Jq1i0hSmxPpKrSlD8zdF_G-9wh8PK3ufrqA72NBsybl3_fB_qRaMiRwi8yoBCxefI4Ie0_-9urak5q787UxNFitQ3b0qks/s1600/zoe.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7xrsm6LnRBny7lma5PekPulMvMka_N6yHt4qxoBxTB_b1Jq1i0hSmxPpKrSlD8zdF_G-9wh8PK3ufrqA72NBsybl3_fB_qRaMiRwi8yoBCxefI4Ie0_-9urak5q787UxNFitQ3b0qks/s320/zoe.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467819272862196386" /></a><br />She's adorable.<br /><br />On the music front, there sure has been a lot going on! The new Coheed and Cambria album, Year of the Black Rainbow, came out. Manda bought me the deluxe edition which included a novel that goes with the album, a DVD documentary, and a card that gets you into shows early and gives you discounts on merch! She's awesome :) I finished the book 2 nights ago. It's weird, because it's totally science fiction/fantasy which I'm not generally into but I enjoyed it. I think because I already know the story through previous CD's, it's pretty easy to get into it. The CD is really good. It's a bit different from their other albums, but not in a bad or better way. Just different. A song that I am very much enjoying is called Far. Also loving Here We Are Juggernaut and Pearl of the Stars. I am going to see them in concert on May 10th at Saltaire with Circa Survive. Their new CD, Blue Sky Noise, also came out recently. I've never been HUGE into Circa Survive, but I like what I have heard. Since giving their new album a chance, I'm pretty impressed.<br /><br />Deftones also came out with a new album and I really love it. I have been stoked on anyting they've come out with since White Pony to be honest. I mean, I've liked it, but it just hasn't grabbed me. But their new album is exactly the Chino and boys that I fell in love with 12 years ago. Wow. 12 years :) So check out Diamond Eyes!<br /><br />Another new album I was pretty excited about was the new MGMT called Congratulations. I'm sad to report that I was pretty disappointed in this new album. I was expecting the infectious groove of Time to Pretend and Kids somewhere on the album, but it was nowhere to be found. I was reading an interview that one of the boys gave and he pretty much said that they were making music that they wanted to make and if people were looking for Time to Pretend on this album, they wouldn't find it and they could fuck off. Ha. So I pretty much just took that for what it was and maybe I'll give them another chance the next time around! Or maybe I'll even give this album another chance!<br /><br />There is also a lot of new music that Manda has that I haven't listened to yet, but am excited to do so! The new Spoon, Vampire Weekend, and Modest Mouse are next on my list!<br /><br />One more mention of music. I don't remember if I've talked about Idiot Pilot yet, but if not, it's high time I do. I ordered their album Strange We Should Meet Here off Amazon for like 2 dollars. Best 2 dollars ever! My personal favorite is A Day In The Life of A Poolshark. Because I'm such a poolshark :)<br /><br />Speaking of poolsharks, Manda and I are wanting to get a pool table for our basement. So if you know anyone that is selling one for a reasonable price, send them my way! : )<br /><br />I'm going to end this blog because it's been just a bunch of ramblings. Once I have my head on straight, I will put together a more thought out post. I just had so much in me bursting to get out!<br /><br />So until then, stay classy and thanks for stopping by. But mostly, stay classy!kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-88079539739774719572010-02-23T20:35:00.003-07:002010-02-23T21:06:06.129-07:00What I'm Listening To TodayIn honor of the fact that I'll be seeing these guys live in less than 24 hours, I feel it's appropriate to share a few of my favorite songs by Cursive. <br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2aYq6Y5A96w&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2aYq6Y5A96w&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/71wFUYUbtjs&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/71wFUYUbtjs&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lSVXTXYwdaA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lSVXTXYwdaA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />ALSO, in keeping with the whole concert situation, Coheed and Cambria is coming on May 10th. Have I already gotten my ticket? Yes. But why you ask? Because they're playing the Murray Effing Theatre. So that shit is going to sell out quite quickly. On the way to me shortly will be the deluxe edition of their new album (including a 352 page novel!!!!!!) and this is a song from that new album. I really really like it. But I have quite a biased opinion, so I will let you form your own.<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zUfR7fzk-lo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zUfR7fzk-lo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-3023221926924370682010-02-12T17:53:00.003-07:002010-02-12T17:58:52.570-07:00Ta TONKA!My recent obssesion (and I mean recent, today, in fact!) is Ha Ha Tonka. Now since this is an obviously new discovery for me, I haven't listened to everything by them. But you should know that "Buckle in the Bible Belt Re-Release" is FANTASTIC. I can't stop listening. Here is on of my favorite songs from this album, called "Caney Mountain".<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SwDbvIUZrV8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SwDbvIUZrV8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />Also today, I've been listening to The Weakerthans, The Northern, and The View. Not the talk show!<br /><br />Black Betty by Ram Jam is my badass song. Whenever I'm getting a tattoo, I put it on my ipod and INSTANTLY feel like a badass. Ever seen Blow? The scene where he's walking through the airport with 2 suitcases of cocaine and this song is playing? Epic!! Well guess what? Ha Ha Tonka did a cover. The guitar is a little sloppy, but I dig it anyway. Enjoy!<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kzJSc7TCF-M&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kzJSc7TCF-M&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-75328881428354120732009-12-31T11:17:00.001-07:002010-01-02T18:41:14.393-07:00Could it be!?Yes, I am blogging. Wow. Because I finally have my own laptop! I feel like such a grown up ; ) I hope everyone had a good Christmas. Mine was great, as usual. I love spending time with my family. I've got exciting stuff coming up in the new year as well. Manda and I are celebrating the anniversary of our first date in the first week of January. It's also Manda's birthday at the beginning of February. And then my sister's birthday in the middle. Also, I'm planning another trip to Oregon this June. I absolutely fell in love with Pacific City last September and I can't wait to go again! Of course there's lots of birthdays and fun stuff in between!<br /><br />I've been listening to a lot of new music lately and I'd like to share some! <br /><br />A little bit ago, I went to see Minus the Bear at In The Venue. They were amazing, as per usual! : ) But I got quite the treat. As Tall As Lions opened up for them and let me just tell you what. I heard them once or twice in high school and I never really got into them. They just weren't my thing. Well I saw them live and they are A-MA-ZING! I really enjoyed them. Here is one of my favorite songs from them.<br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gHx99jKUlwA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gHx99jKUlwA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />Also, for Christmas, I got Team Sleep's CD. So way good! I grew up loving Deftones. Something about Chino's voice is soothing to me. So of course, I love this side project. Here's a little gem.<br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4r2P6iQoru4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4r2P6iQoru4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />The last song I'd like to share is from an EP I bought of iTunes on Christmas Day. I had heard Bon Iver before and even had the pleasure of seeing them at the Gallivan Center this summer. I have not heard one song that I haven't loved. This song is dominating for me right now : )<br /><object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/k-BZ0D92mtU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/k-BZ0D92mtU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object><br /><br />Also, please enjoy this cover!<br /><object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/k-BZ0D92mtU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/k-BZ0D92mtU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />This post is just a lot of things thrown together.

Why are you so repetitive? Haha. I don't really mind it, other than there is nothing much to write about. I work, I go home hang out with my girlfriend, and on the weekends I hang out with my friends. I am working on a post about my Labor Day vacation to Pacific City, but it's taking awhile. Work has been crazy busy and I'm always too tired, so it's coming, slowly but surely. Today I wanted to share some music. It doesn't follow so much with my normal picks but here are a few songs I LOVE.<br /><br />I absolutely love the song "Down" by Jay Sean. Well guess what? J.R. Aquino does it better. I'm sorry Jay Sean. Maybe that's not right to say. He just does it different. I love love love this.<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W4rdoOpWeTQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W4rdoOpWeTQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />This song is super bubblegum, light, and fun. But I also really like some of the more...serious lyrics I guess. "I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly..." This song reminds me of Death Cab/Postal Service had a baby with like...3OH!3 or something.<br /><br /><object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CMr52bCXNdU&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CMr52bCXNdU&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object><br /><br />I mentioned before that I was writing a post about Oregon.

But I'm glad I gave them a chance. They have played at a ton of music festivals including the 2008 Lollapalooza festival in Chicago and the 2009 Bonnaroo Music Festival. They also opened up for Radiohead on the second leg of their North American tour of summer 2008. I think they've got a pretty unique sound and I hope you enjoy!<br /><br /><object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2cZfzch8vDo&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2cZfzch8vDo&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-14518778736125097252009-07-31T10:13:00.002-06:002009-07-31T10:21:21.638-06:00What I'm Listening To TodayMy pick for today comes from the band Murder By Death. A buddy of mine put them on my ipod but I never really listened to them. Until this week. And now, I can't get enough. They remind me of something that I can't quite put my finger on. The most I can come up with is that they remind me of East Carbon. Not very helpful to those of you who have never been there. Or even those of you that have.

They are playing a show tonight at Kilby Court at 7pm. You should go, fo real. I think this song is super sexy!<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B-8vgiwyVaY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B-8vgiwyVaY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />AND here is what Heather has to say about her pick this week:<br /><br />So not sure if any of you know but I do have my own blog but to be honest it sucks and I hardly ever post on it. Kylee’s is better so I’ll post on hers on occasion. My pick for this week would’ve been hip hop because Mija has been addicted to it for the last few days. I’m not even sure why but U92 has been playing in my car if I’m not listening to my Ipod but in the words of Kylee “gaaaayyyyyyyyy haha sheesh” so I’m not going with hip hop. But maybe your fingers could accidentally look up Dolla’s “Heartbreak Collision”. Funny thing about it is a couple months ago my mom came walking in all serious and says “Dolla was killed last night” with a heartbroken look on her face. She’s obsessed with celebrity news and whatnot and thought I knew who he was. My mom is more with it than me when it comes to useless gossip. She even says cray cray ok? I’m just sayin’. Ahem, back to business. A song I’ve been obsessed with for the last couple weeks is by Calexico/Iron & Wine and it’s called “He lays in the reins”. It’s very relaxing, country-esque, and has a dude singing en espanol. What more could you want from a song? Also I’d like to mention that Iron & Wine will be playing at the Twilight Concert Series at the Gallivan Center on August 20th. Sadly I’m sure it’ll be so packed that you won’t actually SEE them but hearing them should do. Hope you like. :)<br /><br /><br />ok Heather, here is your Dolla. Haha holla fo a Dolla!<br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gu-az7tm200&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gu-az7tm200&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />and here is "He Lays in the Reins"<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OQMxHjmWRwk&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OQMxHjmWRwk&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-70096296488206888822009-06-04T11:01:00.003-06:002009-06-04T11:24:10.369-06:00Oh sheesh.Well I haven't posted in a while, kinda because I'm lazy, kinda because I'm busy, and kinda because I didn't wanna! Today is going to be a jumble of things.<br /><br />Summer has officially started and I am already having so much fun. Our pool opened on Memorial Day and we have basically been there everyday since. Goooood times. Pride is this weekend and I am super excited! I am finally 21, surrounded by a good solid group of friends, and ready to paint the town rainbow! Not only that, but I feel that equality is coming, I see it and feel it all around me. Yesterday, New Hampshire became the 6th state to legalize gay marriage. Yeah yeah, 6 down, 44 to go, but it's progress!! I really feel like Pride this year is going to be amazing! Friday we are going to the white party at the Paper Moon. I've always heard so much about it and I am SO excited to be going finally. No Sound this year, thank Buddah. Sometimes I just can't handle it! Saturday I'm not sure what we're doing but no matter what, I know I'll be with my baby girl and that's most important! Sunday is the parade and I think it'll be the best one yet! Obviously Manda and I will be there with our gays but we've got a bunch of straight supporters coming out this year too, including Heather, Jaymee (and Gianna) and Jes! I am SO excited about that. Also, I may or may not be in a rainbow toga. Look out for pictures!<br /><br />Also coming up is Manda and my 1 year official anniversary. Holy shit. This has been one of the greatest years of my life and the 6 months leading up to it were amazing as well! I am very lucky to have found someone as compassionate as her. She moves me, she inspires me, and she constantly keeps a smile on my face. I am always happy with her. And that is an amazing feeling. She truly makes me proud and no doubt I will be keeping that in mind this weekend.<br /><br />So I will leave you with a few songs I've been listening to a lot lately. I hope you enjoy : )<br /><br />City And Colour-Hello, I'm in Delaware. I want to throw Dallas Green in the air and punch him, that's how much I love him. He's a very talented musician and I can't stop listening!<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ihnXuNOPo0w&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ihnXuNOPo0w&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Manchester Orchestra-Wolves at Night. I LOVE this song so much. I really dig this band. Andy Hull sounds a lot like Brian Molko of Placebo to me, maybe that's what first caught my attention. But I really like their sound and am enjoying finding my favorites!<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/riHVSSyIJIQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/riHVSSyIJIQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Kings of Leon-Revelry. This song is seriously SO amazing. KOL are one of my favorites of all time and I just cannot say enough about this song. It's so soothing and beautiful and has some GREAT lyrics. If you haven't put Only By The Night on your iPod, it's high time you do so.<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1WagCdCT3VM&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1WagCdCT3VM&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Coheed and Cambria-God Send Conspirator. This one is not new by any means, it's been my favorite song by Coheed for years. I'm finally getting back into reading the Armory Wars and trying to understand the story that Claudio is trying to tell so I've been listening to them a lot more. And by the way, the Neverender concert series was AMAZING and I believe the DVD is available for purchase on Amazon...just sayin ; ) P.S. am I the only one that loves when Claudio pulls his hair back?! <3<br /><br /><object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r2eZLjAWglM&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r2eZLjAWglM&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-28909214544961656682009-05-18T14:48:00.002-06:002009-05-18T15:00:28.583-06:00What I'm Listening to Today-Monday/Pop/Politics kinda edition!I heart Barack Obama.

It's people like this that make my heart smile. : )<br /><br /><object width="384" height="256" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" id="ordie_player_6eddb255b2"><param name="movie" value="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="key=6eddb255b2" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed width="384" height="256" flashvars="key=6eddb255b2" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" quality="high" src="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" name="ordie_player_6eddb255b2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><div style="text-align:left;font-size:x-small;margin-top:0;width:384px;"><a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/6eddb255b2/a-gaythering-storm" title="from FOD Team, Jane Lynch, Alicia Silverstone, Lance Bass, George Takei, LizFeldman, Jason Lewis, Sarah Chalke, Sophia Bush, and lauren">A Gaythering Storm</a> from <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/jane_lynch">Jane Lynch</a></div>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137874874036291210.post-88086810702115278922009-05-08T08:57:00.003-06:002009-05-08T09:41:18.991-06:00What I'm Listening To TodayI'm getting an early start! : ) That's mostly because I've had in mind what I wanted to put on here since the beginning of the week!<br /><br />My pick this week is called Waiting by City and Colour. Yeah, I don't know why the spell it with a 'u' either, but whatever. This song and pretty much this whole album reminds me of last summer. I have my sister to thank for this. This song is WAY emo, I do realize that. But I think it's a pretty powerful song with some way good lyrics.<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6yrd3ayyXwY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6yrd3ayyXwY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />Guess what? I'm throwing in a bonus. Here is Dallas Green (of Alexisonfire and City and Colour) covering Neil Young's Cowgirl in the Sand.<br />How are you NOT in love with this song?<br /><br /><object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/24BEnajC37w&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/24BEnajC37w&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object>kybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04712800662120945066noreply@blogger.com0
