Get outta yo mind!

I happened to catch that last few minutes of So You Think You Can Dance last night, and stumbled across this. Prepare for your mind to be blown:

This is Alex and Twitch. Twitch was a competitor from a previous season, so he’s an “All-Star,” and Alex is competing this season. Napoleon and Tabitha choreographed this piece… isn’t it INSANE!?

(And for all of you cheerleaders – doesn’t it make you want to jump out of your SEAT!?)

What say you, Luda?

So it’s a two-post day today. Whatevs.

Do you know what CD my mother threw out of my car window when I was 16?

WORD OF MOUF. And oh yes, much love to my first car, the T-to-the-Roopa. She looked like the ride below:

Anyway, Word of Mouf is Ludacris’ CD and I still don’t know how to spell the actual word “ludicrous” (I had to Google that).

And now, I hear for the very first time today that Luda is rapping with young buck Justin Beiber? WHAT SAY YOU LUDA?

And Justin Beiber, how can you sing about love, young man? You are 13!!

Musica.

I realized the other day that I’m not “into” music as much as I was when I was a freshman in college.  (Limewire anyone?)  I pretty much still listen to the same stuff I “discovered” at Clemson.

The Killers, Muse, Kings of Leon (Okay – I discovered them post-college.  But they’re still in heavy rotation).

Honestly, I don’t know if it’s because music is our life with the radio station and most of the time, I drive around in silence.  Not sure.  But I did discover a great new band last weekend and you just HAVE to buy their EP from iTunes.

Abandon Kansas.  Trust me, just do it.  They covered THE KILLERS people.  Last weekend at the concert, I was the only person older than 18 singing the lyrics from the top of my voice to “All These Things That I’ve Done.”  Actually, I was the only person besides the lead singer singing the lyrics.  Who cares.  It rocked.

friday thoughts

thoughts from the haiti relief concert tonight:

i love jeff buckley.  and i loved justin timberlake and matt morris singing “hallelujah.”  jeff buckley songs make me cry.  go and download “last goodbye,” “everybody here wants you,” and “lover, you should’ve come over.” those songs bring back major flashbacks of fall of 2006.  wow.

anderson cooper is so polished.  i feel myself critiquing journalists a lot, but i really can never find anything negative about anderson.  i think that part of my admiration of his journalistic style is that he tells a story.  every word he says has a purpose, and he is always collected – no matter what.  he doesn’t get flustered. (and he doesn’t wear distracting clothing.  i can’t stand that.)

if you’re not into a whiney whitney, you should probably stop reading now.

dang!  i’m so tired!  i don’t even have energy to cook dinner for kris.  had to be at work at 10 til 7AM, so i was up at 5.  but of course, starting at 2:30, i was up every hour making sure that i didn’t sleep through my alarm.

i don’t trust technology.

when i was driving home from work, i happened to run into (not literally) laurie beth at an intersection near our houses.  she rolled down her window, i rolled down mine.  we laughed at each others’ pitiful sights, and just said “holla for 5AM.”  then drove away.

don’t you love best friends?

now i’ve got to figure out something for dinner…

OH by the way.  i realize that some of you may not know of my love of kings of leon.  (it’s a band.  read more here.)  here is a musical sample that you should listen to.  and if you don’t like it, you’re not american.

I KID!

(but seriously, for my international readers, you may not be american.)
