i won't stand alone

this isn't really a "song of the week," so i'm leaning towards another relieve song. this is from and episode of Flight 29 Down that i just got done watchign, where jackson sings a song for the first time infront of everyone, and it is absolutly amazing. Jackson (aka Johnny Pacar) is a solo artist, so check out his myspace.

I Won't Stand Alone
Johnny Pacar

It's just another morning glory
One more twisted side
of this wild ride

another chapter in the story
but i can't hide
the way i feel inside

'cause i'm a stranger in a strange land
and i'm a million miles from my home
if i gotta i'll take my last stand

but i won't stand alone
i won't stand alone
i won't stand alone

well i won't stand alone
i won't stand alone
i won't stand alone

The Industry of Cool

i rented a movie last weekend that i found amazing enough that i thought i would tell you about it. be glad, it's a tuesday and i'm not posting about a song. it was called almost famous and it is the best movie that i have seen in a long time by far. here's the first two paragraphs of the plot line, as found on wiki.

In 1973, William Miller (Patrick Fugit) is a teenager aspiring to be a rock-and-roll journalist, despite the desires of his eccentric, overprotective mother, Elaine (Frances McDormand), who wants him to go into law. Shunned by his classmates (most of whom are two or three years older than he is), he writes for underground papers in his hometown, San Diego. He goes one morning to watch as a local radio station interviews pioneering rock journalist Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman). The two hit it off, and Bangs gives William a $35 assignment to write up a Black Sabbath concert. William, without credentials or a ticket, cannot get into the arena. He meets up with some "Band-Aides," semi-groupies who draw the line at intercourse with rock stars (everything else is fair game) and their leader, Penny Lane (Kate Hudson). Then he runs into the opening band on the card, Stillwater, who first dismiss him as a journalist, but then take him to their hearts (and backstage) when he calls them all by their names, praises (in detail) their most recent work, and they realize he's also a fan...

this movie is pretty amazing, so check it out and BE AMAZED.

ALMOST FAMOUS QUOTES
- i'm a golden GOD!
- the only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool
- they make you feel cool. and hey- i met you. you are not cool.
- Elaine: Well there it is, your sister used the "F" word.
William: I think she said "feck."
Elaine: What's the difference?
William: The letter "u."
- of course i'm home. i'm always home. i'm uncool.
- yeah, come back here! i'm incendiary, too, man!
- is this maryann with the pot? ... hello?
- please don't give him any more acid...
- they don't even know what it is to be a fan. y'know? to truly love some silly little piece of music- or some band, so much that it hurts.
- yes it's poetry. it's the poetry of drugs and promiscuous sex. look at the picture on the cover, they're on pot!

okay, enough with the quotes- you get the point... so, check out the movie. if i know you, you will most likely not be disappointed. if i don't know you, stop blog skipping and get a life. :D

Song of the Week

the video for this song came out recently and the lyrics are fantastic- enjoy. :D

Long Road to Ruin
Foo Fighters
Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace

Here now don't make a sound
Say have you heard the news today?
One flag was taken down
To raise another in its place

A heavy cross you bear
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love
No stranger singing in your name

Maybe the season
The colours change in the valley skies
Dear God I've sealed my fate
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

Let's say we take this town
No king or queen of any state
Get up to shut it down
Open the streets and raise the gates

I know one wall to scale
I know a field without a name
Head on without a care
Before it's way too late

Maybe the season
The colours change in the valley skies
Oh God I've sealed my fate
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

For every piece to fall in place
Forever gone without a trace
Your horizon takes its shape
No turning back, don't turn that page

Come now, I'm leaving here tonight
Come now, let's leave it all behind
Is that the price you pay?
Running through hell, heaven can wait

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead ends

Long road to ruin there in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight

Song of the Week

All Over You
The Spill Canvas
No Really, I'm Fine

Yeah he's a looker,
but I really think it's
guts that matter most.

I displayed them for you,
strewn out about
from coast to coast.

I am easily make believe,
just dress me up in what
you want me to be.
I'll take back what I've been
saying for quite some time now.

I gotta feel you
in my bones again,
I'm all over you.
I'm not over you.

I wanna taste you
one more time again,
I'm all over you.
I'm not over you.

In my daydreams, in my sleep,
infatuation turning into disease.
You could cure me, see all you have to do now
is please try.

Give it your best shot and try.
All I'm asking for is love,
but you never seem to have enough.

I gotta feel you
in my bones again,
I'm all over you.
I'm not over you.

I wanna taste you
one more time again,
I'm all over you.
I'm not over you.

This life is way too short
to get caught up in all this stuff
when I just want you to love me back,
why can't you just love me back?

Why can't you just love me back?
(why can't you, why can't you)
Why can't you just love me back?
(why can't you, why can't you)
Why can't you just love me back?
(why can't you, why can't you just love)

I gotta feel you
in my bones again,
I'm all over you.
I'm not over you.

I wanna taste you
one more time again,
I'm all over you.
I'm not over you.

This life is way too short
to get caught up and all mixed up
when I just want you to love me back,
why can't you just love me back?

Why won't you just love me back?
Why can't you just love me back?

we (as in my mom, manirexic brother, possibly bipolar sister and i) went to the mall this morning. we were early enough to watch the chain gates protecting any shopliftable valuables from being snatched, and to be the first into hot topic. it was a beautiful thing. 'course they didn't have the sizes that i wanted in the most amazing shirts, and the only thing i left with was a couple cheaply expensive guitar picks. ron however was having a feild-day. he bought 86.96$ worth of collision super skinny jeans and flannel. i knew this day would come...

in other news, i got my ears peirced. that was fun. let me just say that the pinch and the shooting, burning feeling are exactly as i remember them. but guess what?! the kill was playing over the radio while i was getting tortured. jared was with me. in a none creepy way. i caught "a beautiful lie" on fuse for about the 7th time this weekend, too. i seriously forgot how much i love them. <3 it was closly followed by "nine in the afternoon," and "never too late," so that kinda made my freakish day.

well my sister's in the shower (yes! FREEDOM!), so the dvd player is free. i'm planning on using my freetime wisely. maybe i'll hold a rave in the kitchen.
