Here are some thoughts I’ve had lately…

-Not to sound like a fanboy, but the new iPhone has totally changed the way I use a cellphone. I have never felt so connected to everyone I know (and don’t know).

-Twitter is awesome. Come follow me!

-The Dark Knight was every bit as awesome as all the hype made it out to be. I saw it twice, and I really want to see it again.

-Third Day’s new cd “Revelation” is beyond awesome. Best cd since “Time”. A more in-depth review will becoming sometime soon.

-I’ve been swamped at work recently with my normal job, plus a lot of video editing/production.

-I’ve lost over 20 pounds!

-Recently, I have been thinking of an idea for a podcast. I really want to have a “project” that could somehow impact people’s lives.

-Credit Card debt sucks. But getting out of it feels GREAT. Not there yet, but getting there.

-In a strange turn of events, I really enjoy jogging.

-I will be going camping with some of the Riggins men next month for about a week. I can’t wait.

-I feel pretty dry for ideas to post about on this blog. So if posting is a bit spurratic, that’s why.

Ok, back to work!

Cannonball

Apr 30, 2008 Music, Thoughts, Uncategorized

I’m a big fan of music, and even more of a fan of picking apart lyrics and relating them to my own life. So, let’s look at one of my favorite songs ever…

Here is a video of me covering Damien Rice’s song “Cannonball”. Also, here are the lyrics, followed by my thoughts on it:

there’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
there’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
it’s still a little hard to say what’s going on

there’s still a little bit of your ghost your weakness
there’s still a little bit of your face i haven’t kissed
you step a little closer each day
that I can´t say what´s going on

stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it’s not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball

there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that I can´t see what´s going on

stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so its not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon..

stones taught me to fly
love taught me to cry
so come on courage, teach me to be shy
‘cos its not hard to fall,

and I don’t want to scare her
its not hard to fall
and i don’t want to lose
its not hard to grow
when you know that you just don’t know

Have you ever acted a certain way for no other reason than the fact that it just seemed right to you? Specifically related to love and relationships, have you ever had feelings for someone or done something out of love (or what you thought was love) that just made no sense at all?

To me, that’s what this song says at parts. “Stones taught me to fly…”. Stones are heavy and don’t fly. It doesn’t make sense for something to teach you about flying that would not fly well at all. “Love taught me to lie” and “life taught me to die” are the same thing. It’s almost like one extreme taught him to do the other extreme.

So maybe in this song, he has done things in a relationship that maybe he shouldn’t have done. Things that seemed right at the time, but might not have made sense, and it has caused a rift in that relationship. And maybe by the end, he wants the courage that led him to do whatever, to make him shy. Only then will he not do it again.

I dunno, what do you think?

The New Website… Here it is!

Mar 19, 2008 me

So here is the deal.

Every night, I have some pretty weird, random dreams. They are pretty entertaining most of the time, and my friends get a kick out of them when I tell them. So I thought to myself “Self, why don’t I post these dreams for the world to read”. So that is what I am going to do. Each post will be brief, since nobody wants to read a long post about anything really. So whatever happens in my dreams the night before that is entertaining, odd, crazy, and random, I will post.

Also, if you have strange dreams, you can be an author here on this site (at least a few of you). So if interested, email me some examples, and I will let you know. But in the meantime, point your browser to myrandomdreams.com and subscribe to the feed.

I could be way off, but I think this could be (mildly) entertaining!

A new website idea… Coming soon.

Mar 19, 2008 Housekeeping, Thoughts

I am working on a fun idea for a website that could be potentially interactive and thought provoking. Or, it could be the dumbest idea ever. But regardless, it will relate to all of us in one way or another. I hope to roll it out in the next few days, but hopefully you all (my loyal and faithful readers) will give me some feedback.

Anyone out there ever have really weird dreams that are totally random? If so, let me know. I might need your help…
