This is it, Dannii Minogue

Here's a nod to our Aussie boys. I sorta miss music videos like this. Genius. Hey Dannii, do you want it, want it, really really want it? (right? i mean really...)

Chocolate, Snow Patrol

This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home

With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25

This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time

You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer

Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words

What have I done it's too late for that
What have I become

Truth is, nothing yet

A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask...this time

How did you know, Kurtis Mantronik

How did you know?
I’m in a spin
I’m giving in
I’m living in a daydream
when I saw you your smile shone through
and touched me like a sunbeam
I’m inside out
I’m crazy about the way you make my heart feel
I’m head over heels
I’m falling more each day

how did you know
I’ve been waiting to touch you and tell you how I feel
I’m walking on clouds
I’m spellbound about you
I can’t believe your real

how did you know
I’ve been thinking about you and dreaming of your kiss
how did you know
how did you know

I’m in a spin
I’m giving in
I’m living in a daydream
when I saw you
your smile shone through
and touched me like a sunbeam
I’m inside out
I’m crazy about the way you make my heart feel
I’m head over heels
I’m falling more each day

how did you know
I’ve been waiting to touch you and tell you how I feel
I’m walking on clouds
I’m spellbound about you
I can’t believe your real

how did you know
I’ve been thinking about you and dreaming of your kiss
how did you know
how did you know

:: Heard this in Corey's class at Equinox last night with Jason & Charlie. Haven't heard it in ages and I thought I had blogged it before - almost exactly 3 years ago, Feb 16, 2005 - love it.

Plagiarism & Obama

Wow. I still just can't get myself on the Obama train. Sorry but I can't. Especially now that all this speech plagarizing is coming out. That's just wrong.

I am a warrior
I am ready
I am powerful now
And I am accepting it

Do you know where you want to go
I know where I want to go
Ready set HO!

Watch me

Double triple celebrate

I am focused
I am grateful

We are great

Do you want it?
Yes I want it!
I am strong now

I thank you
I love you
I am sorry
Please forgive me

I am open
To seeing things a different way
I believe it is possible

My body now restores itself to perfect health!

Something to think about

"I believe everything in life is an experience, something to learn from, and that happiness is a series of choices; it's not something that just sort of happens. One wrong decision can change your life."

Came across this today. Couldn't agree more.

Human Behaviour, Bjork

If you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready to get confused

there's definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so irresistible

there is no map
to human behaviour

they're terribly moody
and human behaviour
then all of a sudden turn happy
but, oh, to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions is ever so satisfying

there's no map and
a compass
wouldn't help at all
