found myself today singing out your name

you said i'm crazy

if i am, i'm crazy for you

sometimes sitting in the dark wishing you were here turns me crazy

but it's you who makes me lose my head

and everytime i'm meant to be acting sensibly you drift into my head and turn me into a grumbling fool

tell me to run and i'll race

if you want me to stop i'll freeze

and if you want me gonna leave

just hold me closer baby

and make me crazy for you

crazy for you

lately with this state i'm in 

i can't help myself but spin

i wish you'd come over

send me spinning closer to you

my oh my how my blood boils the sweetest for you

strips me down bare

and gets me into my favorite mood

i keep on trying and fighting this feeling away

but the more i do 

the crazier i turn into

pacing floors

and opening doors

hoping you'll walk through

and save me boy

because i'm too

crazy for you

-crazy for you by adele

listen to it

my dad was thoroughly surprised by his birthday extravaganza

bonding with my mom was fabulous
seeing high school friends made me want to go back to senior year for a bit

marilena and stomper fell in love 

and the beach was great

spring break was much needed

i like to randomly type in the name that people that i know on google images and see if anything interesting pictures come up or just how many other people share their name that do not look like them at all.  i realized that i had never typed in the names of either of my parents.  the picture of my dad that came up was one that was expected - something l.a.p.d related, but the one that came up of my mom was interesting.  it was her senior portrait.  the reason why it was the first one that came up in the search is because she was on the committee for her high school reunion and on the site, there are high school pictures of the people on the website.  and here it is...my mom was a dime, even rocking the curly fro.  this woman is the reason why i am breathing [literally and figuratively] and i love her so much.  she makes me a better person.

does anything in life truly last forever?

that is a question that i have been asking myself regularly over the past year or so.

it seems like over time, everything seems to fade away or disintegrate entirely.  examples of that are things as simple as the color of our hair changing with old age to friendships from our childhood that we thought would last forever merely lasting from kindergarten to 8th grade graduation, and then maybe a year or so after that.  most of the couples that i know who are older, and by older i mean over the age of 45 have been married more than once or have had more than one serious life partner.  after looking at that, along with the statistics of divorce, it makes me wonder if anything in life can truly last forever, specifically the love that one person can have for another on a level that is deeper that is more than just being friends...on a level where you have found your soulmate.

thoughts?

and i miss stomper

the month is really flying by, but i am okay with that.

so usually, when i try to search for shows or performances that i would loke to see, none of the artists that really spark my interest or attention are playing in my area.  until yesterday, and i found these four great performances...

india.arie

my mom first introduced me to her and she honestly does not get enough recognition.  her songs and the delivery of them is nothing short of amazing.  one of my favorite's is 'brown skin' but she has a new album out, and i would strongly recommend it.

seal

so at this point, i am pretty sure my parents have some of the best music taste known to man.  my dad introduced me to seal in grammar school and i have been hooked ever since.  i have never heard a voice like his and it is breathtaking.  he is timeless.  there is something so attractive about him.  and i also love that he is married to heidi klum and has these beautiful children.  one of my favorite's by seal is 'lost my faith'.

bloc party

it is rare to find an album that you can play in its entirety without skipping or even having the urge to skip over a song.  if you haven't found an album like that, listen to bloc party.  i think i found them at the beginning of high school.  they are getting a bit more mainstream, but i do not think they get enough recognition either.  check out 'this modern love' - it would be worth your time.

last but not least...

the killers

one of the most annoying things about music today is that a large chunk of it all sounds the same.  the killers are the exception.  they have this distinct sound and the originality is what makes me love them.  in addition to that, their videos are mindblowing.  

finding out about these artists in addition to a few others that i have chose not to profile pretty much made my week.

good day all.

we often forget that to whom much is given much is tested

just keep that in mind
