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

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)

Geener and Sereener ;) (Both not words, but you know...)

..... AND THE SCANNER COMES BACK.......... MUAHAHAHAHA ;)

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 :)

Quote of the day :) By: Mahatma Gandhi

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!
