Ladies and Gentlemen... I present to you... HER ART
Hey SO... yeah it's been awhile. And instead of making up making a million excuses as to why I haven't posted much, I'll just say this... I will try harder to post more and SORRY! :(
ANYWHO... In honor of it being a Monday and all... I have decided this week deserves a positive outlook. My best friend, Brooke, sent me this in the mail the other day and I absolutely ADORE IT! She has inspired me to look at this week and the many weeks to come in a positive light. This girl always manages to put a smile on my face! I LOVE HER!
Enjoy. And maybe send something like this to one of your best friends going through a tricky time... trust me, it will make their week! I can attest to that because it totally made mine! LOVE YOU BROOKE!
Happy Monday, everyone.

Pep talk :)
Happy Tuesday to YOU! Cha cha cha!
So... I was watching "Bridesmaids" today and forgot the inspirational message near the end of the movie when Megan talks to her friend Annie about not letting life get you down. For those of you who have never seen "Bridesmaids"... please go to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1478338/.
Anyways... I found this so near and dear to me because lately I've been finding myself letting life get ME down. This reminded me that Not only am I the problem, but I'm also the solution.
Please watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUbWIlgo4MU&feature=related

Featured song of the day...... (drum roll please!!!) "If Everyone Cared" By: Nickleback

Lyricals for your karaoke fun :) SING YOUR HEART OUT, PEOPLE:
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
(I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I
(I'm alive)
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
(I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/n/nickelback-lyrics/if-everyone-cared-lyrics.html ]
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
(When nobody died)
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
(When nobody died)
We'd see the day
(When nobody died)

Hello to all! Hope you are having a wonderful amazing Saturday morning... Goal of this weekend: Keep it positive! :)

I'm a New Soul
Video post of the day is a beautiful song by the wonderful Yael Naim singing "New Soul"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic_BQ6g2hp0
Lyrics for your amazing singing :) ( http://www.lyricsmania.com/new_soul_lyrics_yael_naim.html)
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
I'm a young soul
In this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
This is a happy end
'Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong?
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
I'm a new soul... (la, la, la, la,...)
In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...
Take take take take take... take a mistake
Take, take a mistake
Take, take a mistake
(oh oh oh oh...)
[fade out]
(oh oh oh oh...)

A Short Little Something :)
- "Never speak out of anger,
Never act out of fear,
Never choose from impatience,
But wait... and peace will appear."
Video Post of the day....
...to get you up from the daily grind... featuring "LET IT ROCK" get up off of your computer chair/sofa/ bed/etc. and DANCE to these sick beats :) I mean it... Up, up, up!!! Shake off your worries and move! :) Okay, okay not trying to sound like an over-eager chick from one of those cheesy work out videos, I'm just saying that dancing (whether you're good at it or not) is good for the body. Get some movement goin... come on, you've been sitting in your cubicle all day or sitting at school, you definitely deserve some fleeting moments of excitement! I challenge you :)

Guten Abend!!!
... which means Good Evening in German :) I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful morning/afternoon/night (Depending where you are in the country!) Anywho... youtube video of the day....... IS...............
"Don't Stop" By: Fleetwood Mac :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm0nopK1BQM&feature=related
Don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow!
FUN FACT: Their best known album "Rumors" (Don't Stop is on there btw :)) is pretty much about the romantic "reality check" each of the band members were facing at the time. Each song definitely had some personal meaning attached to it. They were literally all going through breakups-- all 5 of them. Each band member. I'm not even kidding. So, basically this album is conveying their angst, their inner feelings, their ups and downs all compiled into songs---> pretty much like a singing diary!

Lyrics for fun and for your mad singing skills! HAHA :) (http://www.6lyrics.com/say_hey_i_love_you-lyrics-michael_franti.aspx)
This one goes out to you and yours
Worldwide
I say hey I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
The less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I've been a lot of places all around the way
I've seen a lot joy and I've seen a lot of pain
But I don't want to write a love song for the world,
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
Junkies on the corner always calling my name
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I saw you getting down well I hoped it was you
And when I looked into your eyes I knew it was true
I say Hey I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
The less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
Bump into person in the middle of the road
Look into their eyes and you suddenly know
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
My momma told me don't lose you
'Cause the best luck I had was you
I said Hey I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
And I said rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey momma hey momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said hey papa, hey papa close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey Momma hey momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you I said
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
My momma told me don't lose you
Cause the best luck I had was you
And I know one thing that I love you
I said I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
I said I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing that I love you
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)

His Art
Van Gogh is a beast. I completely forgot about this awesome painting... it's so pretty! Definitely now one of my favorites! Did you know that Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting in his life? It wasn't until the aftermath of his death when his paintings became popular and well liked. Just a little fun fact there :)

Lyrics here if you feel like singin' along :)
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)
Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down

Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)
Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down

Good Mornin' Good Mornin' It's great to stay up late...
.. Good Mornin' Good Mornin' to you and you and YOU :)
So in honor of--- OMYGOSH IT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I seriously did NOT see that coming until I checked my phone for the date! Wow... *Mind blown*) Okay, alright... happy Friday the 13th to all! In honor of this crazy day... I decided to post a happy quote. This quote makes me smile. Lord Byron, a romantic poet in the 1800's wrote this-- He has a crazy life story (which you can find here: http://kirjasto.sci.fi/byron.htm) but was of course also an absolute beast at writing poetry! :) Look him up if you have time to kill.

*Epic Drumroll please...*
So I'm gonna try-- try my absolute HARDEST to post an inspiring, meaningful Youtube music video EVERY DAY. Fingers crossed this actually comes through. I'm hoping it does because I seriously have the shortest memory in the history memories--it's pretty bad. Anyways here's to trying my absolute bestest in remembering to fill your intellectual minds with intellectually stimulating music! Cheers!
DAY #1 Music Video Post Numero Uno: January 12, 2012
Featuring: "Handlebars" By: Flobots~ Posted on www.youtube.com NOV. 29, 2009 Music video by Flobots performing Handlebars. YouTube view counts pre-VEVO: 18,313,639. (C) 2008 Universal Republic Records, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLUX0y4EptA&ob=av2e
This video speaks volumes. My friend, Rachel H., was the one who not only introduced me to this epic video but got me hooked on to Flobots. She was also the one that pointed out the symbolism in this video. In short, this video is about two friends who start out innocently riding their bikes, living their dream together-- but then find themselves making their own choices in life and figuring out what roles they take on in life. One friend (who you hear from first in this song) chooses a care free life full of fun and randomness. He is simply living HIS American dream-- a life of self- fulfillment. A simple life, yet a secure and sunny one. "...I can tie a knot in a cherry stem, I can tell you about Leif Ericson and I know all the words to "De Colores" and "I'm Proud to be an American...." (Flobots, "No Handlebars" 1 http://www.lyricsmania.com/handlebars_lyrics_flobots_the.html).
However, the other friend, chooses a life full of money and power. He is simply living what he thinks is THE American dream is-- a life full of riches. "... I can make new antibiotics. I can make computers survive aquatic conditions. I know how to run a business. And I can make you wanna buy a product..." (Psst. Spoiler Alert!) This friend comes to find that living a life full of money and power can be toxic. This friend becomes powerful and corrupt which leads to violence and war and protests. The protesters-- the ones who are secure in their world-- rebel against his ideas, trying to show him the light. In the end of this video, there is war and death and bloodshed. "And I can lead this planet in a Holocaust. In a Holocaust. In a Holocaust...." He figures out his evil ways are too late, when he realizes that one of the protesters he just killed was his old friend from the past. His friend from the beginning-- his friend who once lived a care free and simple life with him, riding a bikes with no handlebars.
There is a butt load of symbolism here btdubs: the dove- a huge giveaway, the wreck ball, the bloody business line graph (which my friend Rachel H. pointed out-- a huge symbolic part to the video which I missed), etc. Wow, I could just keep going on and on about this video-- it's so powerful and amazing! Thank you Flobots for making this happen! Thank you Youtube for posting this! Thank you Rachel H. for showing this to me! ENJOY! I hope this impacted your life, as much as it impacted mine!
