(*how*) I got Boyced, BABY!

Today is 4 years since Boyce Avenue posted their very first video on YouTube. It was an acoustic cover by The Goo Goo Dolls – Before It’s Too Late.

In Honor of the amazing 3 brothers, Fabian, Daniel,and Alejandro, let’s take a peek at how they’ve been doing so far.

When you think about those numbers… The YouTube/Facebook phenomena everybody is talking about starts to be defined within the grasp of everyone’s understanding.

Since I posted this a few minutes ago on the BAST America fan page, and a couple of groups, filled with awesome people, I think it’s only fair I should post this cute little story on my blog, also. Yes, it’s time

 

Consoler Of The Lonely

I can’t complain. I’m doing great. I just wanted y’all to let you know what’s up , and why I haven’t blogged since last time. It wasn’t that long ago, but I have a feeling it’s gonna be a while until my next blog. It’s just a feeling, though! Anywho. I’ve been busy with my exams and studying all night and all that for a while. Haven’t had a decent meal since I left my parents’ house, because I’d rather study than cook. And everything else.

I think the best way to express what I’ve been doing for (at least) the past week is this song. Word for word.

 

 

This song is awesome. And fun. Even if I feel like I’m gonna die of boredom soon. Haha! Thank you Fabby, so fricken much for helping me find this song (and not only!) LOL. I  super love you and your totally awesome brothers. ☺♥

See ya next time!

The Impulse To Create

Did you ever stop and wonder where your artistic creativity comes from? Daryl from The Daily Post did.

As far as the “impulse to create”—what comes to mind is something like this. Say you were standing in a group of people, and nearby some guys were throwing a Frisbee around, and suddenly one of them misthrew, and here it comes now, right over your head—that impulse to jump up and catch it is similar to what I feel when I’m writing. Why did you jump? Not to “honor the Frisbee” or “make a connection with the thrower” or “serve as the conduit/recipient of the Frisbee’s symbolic journey, blah blah blah.” You did it…well, who knows why, really? Partly the motivation is a “because it’s there” kind of thing. You start a story and in rereading it, see a place where it could be made better. Well, why not?

~ interview with fiction author George Saunders

Thank you Daryl, because these words speak to me in ways I can’t explain. It is exactly how I feel at times. Sometimes I find myself unable to put words together in a sentence, or make a picture fit, and sometimes I have a gazillion ideas flying through my head, and I have the compulsion of catching as many as I can, and putting them on (virtual) paper. This brought a smile on my face, so double thank you

 

The Butterfly Lesson

One day a small opening appeared in a cocoon, a man sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to make its body through that little hole.

 

Lifehouse – Everything…

no uncontrollable blabber tonight…. I was watching the Episode 1 , Season 1 of Smallville… and I heard this song… and thought I should share… for obvious reasons… it’s freakishly amazing, and it seems to rea into my soul right now…

till next time,

Cheers,

Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That’s leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose…you’re everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won’t let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you’re all I want, You’re all I need
You’re everything,everything
You’re all I want your all I need
You’re everything, everything.
You’re all I want you’re all I need.
You’re everything, everything
You’re all I want you’re all I need, you’re everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

 

The one that got away.

 

“Why do you listen to sad music if you’re sad?!”

“Why do you listen to sad music if you’re sad?!”

“you gotta listen to happy music, so you can get happy again.” My roommate just told me…

The truth? Music is an escape for me… and it helps me express my feelings, offering me a broader outlet than words do most of the time… no matter how great the heartache… when I close my eyes and sing along , or just hum, or just shut up and listen… it transcends my world. When I have music around me, I am in a better place… In a place where nothing can hurt me, and in a world that knows no pain.

Maybe some of you, dear readers would like to know the answer to that question yourselves. The answer is simple… music takes you to a better place. An alternate reality, if you will, that is simply better, and makes each of our lives better, and a bit more bearable at times.

I was called selfish for wanting the best in the world for someone I care about. If that is selfish, then how is it called when you want the opposite?

Letter for love.

Dear _____________,

 

You don’t know this, but you are the man I will one day fall in love with. We will meet unexpectedly, maybe on a street, or in a coffee shop, or perhaps in theater or at a bookstore, for I very much like both and I hope you like them too. We will talk at first about random things, and exchange numbers and Facebook info. Then we’ll get to know each other casually. We may forget about each other for a time, maybe a week or month or longer, but then we’ll see a status we HAVE to comment on and we’ll remember.

 

But probably, we won’t forget each other at all, and we’ll talk at the beginning. We’ll realize how much we have in common, and after we get our courage mustered up, we’ll go on a date. It will either be a disaster or totally awesome, but no matter what, it’ll be memorable. So we’ll go on that date, and we’ll call each other and talk afterwards.

 

I hope that we aren’t only romantic companions in the beginning, but best friends too. We’ll be able to tell each other everything, laugh when we want to, and cry when it’s needed. Memories will be made, and it’ll be wonderful. We’ll fight, but we’ll make up and get over it sooner or later. Because that’s what people do when they truly fall in love… they say they’re sorry. Love doesn’t mean you never have to say sorry (like the movie “Love Story” claims), love means you have to say you’re sorry A LOT.

 

We’ll be pretty amazing, you and I. I’ll accept your differences, and you’ll accept mine. I can’t wait to see you, and know you, and realize that I’ve finally found someone who loves who I am, despite my craziness. Maybe… you’ll even love my craziness. That would be truly wonderful.

 

I know you’ll probably have girlfriends before me, and that’s fine. We’re human, I’m cool with that. Will I have a boyfriend before you? I really don’t know. I don’t see myself with someone else. I see myself with you, and only you. I want to hold out for you, because I want you to be my only. But if I have a boyfriend before you, don’t be mad. It’s just practice!

 

I just want you to know before we meet, that I care about you. I hope you’re doing well right now, and I only want the best for you. Do what you want to in life, and don’t settle. Just remember, save some of your adventures for us, all right? And believe me, we’ll have many of them.

 

I can’t wait to meet you darling. And I know it’ll happen. I just have to wait, and God will make things work out. So, I guess the most important thing to tell you before I close, is this:

 

I love you. No matter how much we may fight, no matter what happens to either of us, I love you.

 

I’ll meet you, darling. I don’t know when, and I don’t know where, but I’ll meet you one day. So be yourself, and live a happy life until then.

 

So, take care doll… and God’s speed to us.

 

With my deep affection,

Lexxa

 

 

Top Ten Nicolas Cage Movies

Still from the movie Ghost Rider

Most of you know I am going to be an Extra in Ghost Rider 2, that starts filming in early November this year. If you didn’t know yet, you just found out. Based on some research I did, since I am not such a Nicolas Cage fan [***], I think that maybe these movies may be the best of his entire career.
