Oh September....You're Going To Be Crazy...

Tomorrow marks the start of the most busy month of my entire life. Exaggeration? Maybe... but probably not.

This is what the next five weekends look like:

-This weekend Labor Day - Friends from NJ Visit

-Next weekend - Drive to NJ for Jets home opener

-Weekend of 17th - Dianes BacheloretteParty

-Weekend of 24th - Brothers wedding in Nantucket

-Weekend after - Savor Event for work.

So yeah... if you see me at all this month count yourself lucky. I'm going to try and make it through with still a dollar in my pocket. (chances of that happening... slim to none... just saying)

Blog On Hold

Yeah so for the past week I've been dealing with Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Misplaced Brothers, and other ridiculous things.

So this site is on hold until this shit calms down!

:) See you soon...

Bad Meets Evil

Here is a new one from Eminem feat Bruno Mars.

I really like it except for the catch line "sky full of lighters"... you could have done better there. But your rapping is tight. Yo. ha.

Pat Summitt (My Hero)

There is not enough space in this blog for me to list all the reasons why I have admired Pat Summit for as long as I can remember. You see for me, a basketball player, there was not many women figures to look up to in the early 90s. Fortunately there was Pat Summit. This lady has lead the Lady Vol Tennessee program since 1974 winning 8 national championships. She ranks #8 on the All Time Best Coach's List (male or female) and well talk about class. This lady is so classy she is in a league of her own. She made girls like me think it was possible to play the game at a high level, that we can be athletic, and that there really are no differences when it comes to sports.

Which is what made seeing the news yesterday so difficult.

She has been diagnosed with dementia, at the age of 59. (Full article HERE)

I can not even begin to imagine the courage it took for her to record the video below. I am happy to hear that she will continue to coach, but again can't imagine how this journey must be for her. 

I'll be thinking of you Pat.

Eleanor Roosevelt - One Smart Lady

"Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints on your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if someone betrays you twice, its your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself... There is no beginning or end. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why they call it the present." - Eleanor Roosevelt

God Made Man

"I have my own particular sorrows loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we these emotions in their universality."

-H.A. Overstreet

This song is a good background for my day today. Big shout out to Mrs. Lee for bringing these people to my attention. 

Tumblr Day!

Well after the earthquake that hit about 20 miles from my city yesterday, today is going to be hopefully just a normal day. 

So I decided it will be a tumblr day, yup that's right. I have talked about these blogs before, love searching through them and finding great pictures and quotes (like the one above). Its fun, and well today I bring that fun to you. 

Be prepared.

Lisa Goes Gaga

I'm totally jealous.

Above you see Lady Gaga recording her guest spot on the Simpsons! The episode is named "Lisa Goes Gaga".... ha. I want to do that!

RIP Nick Ashford

This post is just sad.

Last night the world lost one of the greatest songwriters of all time. The legendary Nick Ashford died after complications from caner. 

Him and his partner formed the writing duo of Ashford & Simpson and were belting out hits for decades. The world will truly miss this gentle man. 

Here are some of my favorites.

"Solid as a Rock"

"Give Me Something Real"

"If there's no one besides you when your soul embarks... then I'll follow you into the dark"

Seriously this song is one of the best written, most heartbreaking songs I've ever had the pleasure of hearing with my own ears. It sits very close to the top of one of my all time favorite songs. Death Cab for Cutie... you kill me every time. 

Here is the lovely Christina Perri doing the song justice with her and her piano. Lovely. 

Stand By Me: John Lennon

One of my favorite covers of all time. John Lennon singing "Stand By Me"....

...darling darling stand by me...

Lynn Hirschberg's Screen Tests

If you are not familiar with these yet, go get yourself to youtube and search. If you are a fan of the art of being an actor (like I am) you will love these screen tests. Love them. Trust me.

Here is a compilation of some of the actors talking about "What Movie Made You Cry?" and well I have to agree with Natalie Portman. She said the movie and scene perfectly. 

Adele - That's It, I Quit, I'm Moving On... (Sam Cooke Cover)

Here is a super old school cover from Adele. Girl is so amazing I can't even put it into words. If I could just sit on a chair and belt like this... well that's exactly what I would do. Its just so effortless. 

Jimmy Hendrix in Guitar Picks? Yes Please.

Gimme Shelter: Playing for Change

Love these people and their covers. Especially since the proceeds go to a good cause. If you have some time check out some of their other videos. Street performing at its best.

When All Else Fails.

Cover Song Friday!

If you were to see me today this is pretty much what I look like. After a really long week at work, I have finally made it to Friday! Whooo! 

Nothing huge planned for this weekend. Actually its a weekend of catch up for me. Going to see some movies that I've been waiting for for a while (The Help, Glee 3d). Yes I'm that girl. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend planned. Go do something for yourself. Isn't that what weekends are all about anyways?

Also please do not call me before noon tomorrow. Fair warning.

Also today I'm going to post some more good covers. Why? Why not.
