happy easter to those who celebrate, and happy sunday to those who don't.

and to each and every one of you:

we travel like gypsies only with worse luck and far less gold.

so, i haven't made one of those wishlist posts because i'm low on funds and can't really return the favor. :(

that being said: if anyone is just itching to give me something (lol), an lj gift certificate would not hurt my feelings. i am dying to get a permanent account, but $175 is too steep for me. if a handful of people toss, like, 10 bucks at me or something, then maybe...?

idk. just putting that out there. /o\

happy christmas your arse; i pray god it's our last.

so i was dicking around on myspace while listening to christmas music, and i decided i needed to add some christmas songs to my profile. which i was in the process of doing when i discovered that this song is nowhere to be found on myspace, which is just not ok, so i'm sharing it with you guys.

vienna teng // the atheist christmas carol
It's the season of grace coming out of the void
Where a man is saved by a voice in the distance
It's the season of possible miracle cures
Where hope is currency and death is not the last unknown
Where time begins to fade
And age is welcome home

It's the season of eyes meeting over the noise
And holding fast with sharp realization
It's the season of cold making warmth a divine intervention
You are safe here you know now

Don't forget
Don't forget I love, I love
I love you

It's the season of scars and of wounds in the heart
Of feeling the full weight of our burdens
It's the season of bowing our heads in the wind
And knowing we are not alone in fear
Not alone in the dark


and because it's awesome and if you don't have it you REALLY need it: the pogues // fairytale of new york
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in at ten to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So Happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day )

"so it goes."

i will come to a time in my backwards trip when november eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called armistice day. when i was a boy...all the people of all the nations which had fought in the first world war were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of armistice day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

it was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. i have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. they have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the voice of god. so we still have among us some men who can remember when god spoke clearly to mankind.

armistice day has become veterans' day. armistice day was sacred. veterans' day is not.

so i will throw veterans' day over my shoulder. armistice day i will keep. i don't want to throw away any sacred things.

what else is sacred? oh, romeo and juliet, for instance.

and all music is.

kurt vonnegut; breakfast of champions

happy armistice, remembrance, or veteran's day.


and happy birthday, mr. vonnegut.

and you're ready for it now...anything beautiful.

josiah bb!!! :D ♥
He's gone from living in his car to having a record deal in the span of six months. Morristown teenager Josiah Leming -- forever known as the kid living out of his car on "American Idol" season 7 -- has signed with Warner Bros. records. He's also gotten an agent and an entertainment lawyer. According to one source, the kid bought his dad a new truck recently to celebrate this upward turn of events. Earlier this season, Josiah made it to the early rounds in Hollywood, but failed to make the top 24 cut. He's still living in M-Town, but he's going to be going Hollywood soon enough.


also, here's some song he did for an...ad campaign or something? (it came from here.) it's different from his usual stuff (i'm not sure if he wrote it or if he's just singing), but it's terrific.

this is the best way that i've found to be the best you've ever seen.

ok, so i already technically made a valentine's day post, but that was just because i thought that cobra video was so cute. this is my real v-day post, featuring one of my favorite love songs ever. well, it's not technically a love song, per se, but it's a song about love and i think it's amazing. it's from hedwig and the angry inch, which, if you haven't seen, i cannot recommend highly enough. the story of the song is based off aristophanes's speech from plato's symposium, which begins...
Mankind, he said, judging by their neglect of him, have never, as I think, at all understood the power of Love. For if they had understood him they would surely have built noble temples and altars, and offered solemn sacrifices in his honor; but this is not done, and most certainly ought to be done: since of all the gods he is the best friend of men, the helper and the healer of the ills which are the great impediment to the happiness of the race.

the origin of love.

and because i love it: rufus wainwright - the origin of love


[while i'm pimping hedwig, here's another of my favorite clips from the movie: wig in a box (it's funnn!)]
