i can't help it; there's nothing i want more.

here's the AI commercial i was flailing over during the superbowl!

and here's a video of david cook (the last guy in there) singing more of "livin' on a prayer" than they showed in his audition. the hair is tragic but he sounds great and at least he seems to get his hair sorted out by hollywood. (i worry about important shit like this so y'all don't have to. you're welcome.)

there was something else i was going to say but i forgot. :( ha! i remember. it was the very crucial information that i'm already wondering who i might be able to slash him with. i told you guys; i worry about the important shit. XD

light my candles in a daze 'cause i've found god.

OH BTW SOMEONE TOLD ME TONIGHT THAT ZAC EFRON IS PLAYING KURT COBAIN IN A MOVIE?

is this true? sandy? anyone?

all apologies (see what i did there?) to the efron fans reading this, i have no objection to him in general, but wow, I AM PRETTY SURE I DO NOT APPROVE.

*holds kurt*

i'm a binary code that you cracked long ago.

i didn't know sia had a new album out, but i downloaded it last night and i'm just now listening to it and i think it's fabulous.

here, have a song: sia - academia (feat. beck)

( i seriously love the lyrics. )

yes we can!

not that i especially care about football, but this post-game video of the manning brothers talking about the game is just precious.

and in actual important news: HAPPY SUPER TUESDAY! GO VOTE! BUT ONLY FOR OBAMA!! BUT SERIOUSLY, GO VOTE!

and if you're undecided and/or don't care that much, just humor me and go vote for my guy. it'll be fun. you'll get a sticker! chris rock called me last night and reminded me to go vote for obama, bee tee dubz! \o/

EDIT: also, nobody commented here, which is fine, but i wanted to link because i shared an awesome song and people might have missed it? i am helpful, bbs, worrying about idol hair and linking you to important things with which i spammed you. XD

rat tat tat tat tat that's the way it is.

i'll spare you most of my stream-of-consciousness political mental meanderings and just say that i was thinking in the car today about, y'know "be the change you wish to see in the world" and how no one has ever "achieved the impossible" because they knew it was possible, which is half the battle, blah blah blah there's rhetoric even in my own head. and i rarely have my ipod on shuffle because as i said the other day, i don't know what half the shit on there even is, but i did today and this song came on, and it's always touched me and some of it just seemed so appropriate, because altho he's speaking about racial relations, i feel like it applies to more than that, just the need for unity and peace and basic human understanding, red states versus blue states, the u.s. versus the world, etc. so.

i got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
we gotta start makin' changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's supposed to be
how can the devil take a brother if he's close to me?
i'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is.

...

we gotta make a change--
it's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
you see, the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do...to survive.

and still i see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace?
it's war on the streets & the war in the middle east...
