obsessed with this song. with the way he sings it. with the lyrics. with the guitar. everything is just so...guh. so much love i can't even articulate.

lyrics:

baby it's our hearts' slow beating
that make us grow old
i mean to say there's no one helping
we're digging our own hole

i'm reading your words
they're scrawled on the page
they lay here in silent rage
i'll hold you to this
for as long as i breathe
much more than whispers

if i ever found a one leaf clover
it would be you
wishing that such heights were lower
and nothing is new

citing your verse, it couldn't sound worse
the black recital i did rehearse
we all die alone, and as i'm clenching this phone
can't imagine a slowing hearse

how many times will i play the hero
how many lies before it's true
how many times will we clock out at zero
how many tries before we're through
how many lives till another you

the scars are slowly healing
the lips have regained feeling
the obstacles are kneeling
the final wax is sealing
the great white ships are sailing
the feet have left their railing
the four last hooves are hailing

how many times will i play the hero
how many lies before it's true
how many times will we clock out at zero
how many tries before we're through
how many lives till another you

baby it's our hearts' slow beating
that make us grow old
i mean to say there's no one helping
we're digging our own hole

my favorite part is the part i bolded. seriously, if you've never listened to a David Cook song before now, listen to this one. (camera work is a little shaky at first, but hang in there. it's totally worth it.)

so...i'm sure you've seen me mention this guy, David Cook(or whatever), a time or two. right? well...as i'm sure most of you already know, on saturday i finally got to see him live and experience his extreme awesomeness in 3D. my dad, who is also pretty heavy in the awesome department, went with me. we got to the venue around 4 pm and there was already a good 100 people in line ahead of us. it was cool though because we were surrounded by great people and had hilarious conversations. doors opened at 6:30 and i spent the next 3 hours or so crammed like a sardine as close to the stage as i could get(about sixth row center).

first up was Ryan Star, who was absolutely phenomenal! he's extremely energetic and animated and it's nigh impossible to get a decent picture of him when he's onstage. i had no idea that he was on Rockstar: Supernova until i got home and looked him up on youtube. if you haven't heard of him before, he's definitely worth a look. word is his new cd will be out on june 2nd! you can find him on myspace, facebook and twitter if you're so inclined. funny story. after the show i bought his cd and gave it to my dad to go get signed while i was waiting to buy some DCook merch. dad gets up to meet him and Ryan asks who to make it out to and my dad says, "it's for my daughter. make it out to her, please." and the lady behind him teases, "suuuuure, it's for your daughter." dad laughs and tells Ryan that he really enjoyed the show, but it really is for me. Ryan then proceeds to sign the cd with "Tiggy, Your Dad ROCKS!". dad brings the cd back to me and i laugh and then we go see if he's still signing and taking pictures. luckily, he is! i finally get to the front and he reaches out to take my cd to sign and i tell him he already has and point to my dad. he laughs and says, "i really did think it was for him". hee!! he's a great guy and i plan on supporting him as much as possible.

i'm not sure what i can really say about seeing David live that hasn't already been said a million times by a million different people. he's amazing and it's hard to tear your eyes off of him because he's just so comfortable doing this thing that he loves. during the set i was mostly reduced to screams and utterances like "guh" "nnnnnnnnnnggggh", which pretty much sums up how i feel about him in general. so instead of trying to put into words how awesome this concert was for me, i thought i'd just post some of my favorite pics and link my videos.

( they're under here. )

to sum up: A+++++. would rock again.

because it makes me happy. it also, inevitably, gets the remix stuck in my head. for hours!

hooray!! welcome back lj. here, have some Jared and Jensen.

jesus christ, FNL. way to make me cry like a little girl at work. ( FNL - 3x04 )

really quick before i head out the door. David Cook fans are the best. seriously. i really can't wait to hear what David's reaction to this is.

these guys are my new favorite thing. here's their youtube account with all of their "mission" videos.

my favorites? Frozen Grand Central (obviously!), Redheads Protest Wendy's, Cell Phone Symphony, Look Up More (extended), Virgin Megastore, Best Buy, Jumper and Synchronized Swimming.

i think my favorite part is the reaction to them. soso funny. go watch and laugh.

i am a spammy mcspammerson, but i can't help it.

dude. what the hell happened to Drew Goddard??? the facial hair is terrifying. seriously, what happened to the Ultimate Hottness?

p.s. go leave a comment on this moron article that implies the general public thinks the WGA are a bunch of greedy bastards. you should also watch this video if you haven't already seen it.

ahahahahaha!!!



blah. blah. blah blah blah blah blah.

seriously, i think this was my favorite episode ever. i just...can't even. i think i hyperventilated while watching at one point. probably during that first scene.

i'm not even going to bother making any comments about Lost. except to say that they could kill every single character except Kate and Sawyer and i wouldn't bat an eyelash. i could watch those two stare at each other for an hour and it would be good for me.

the real reason i'm posting is to share this vid. it's a scene from Torchwood, but it's not at all spoiler-y. just gunporn at it's best.



he can teach me how to shoot anytime!

( accent meme under here )

has everyone seen this? i saw it when i was watching Heroes and was kind of surprised that no one mentioned it.



*flails*

you know how i've devoted my undying love to youtube? well...here's my new favorite video of the day/week/month/whatever. this guy has taken something so simple and turned it into a revolution. so awesome.

he also has a myspace profile that explains how this came about in more detail.

this is fabulous!!
