Thoughts of the Day/Song of the Day David Gray Babylon

I'll preface this by saying I am not sure how many people follow my blog or even read anything I write on here.  In the end it is all for me anyways...  With that being said it has been a really long time since I have done any actual blogging and/or writing here. But I feel like I just need to say some stuff and use this as an outlet right now like I use to.

Last night I went to the Mayer Hawthorne show with two of my best and oldest friends.  Sometimes it is crazy to me how long we have been friends, and how old we have become.  While at the same time I still see us as those kids growing up together.  I can truly see how time after college starts to fly by.  You start to live for your weekends and things just move.  I had this realization back in May right out of school, and last night I happened again.  I just felt life, you know real life-the real world if you will.  It just seems like when I am doing my thing that I am on my schedule no thought of going back to school or the work I need to do just living.  I have always looked up to those older than me and wanted to be them, like most of us do.  It is funny because we all continue to chase that idea and still think of ourselves as young.  I love the moments when I realize that I am there now at that point.  To live in the present is key to all things.  These are the good times, the glory years.  Life is quick and youth is fleeting, it is important to do what you want and to enjoy it.

Recently things have been really crazy and hectic(working 12 hr days and 60 hour weeks chasing my dreams!)  It is a daily grind and really can wear you down at times.  But I am happy paying my dues and making strides.  I am still shocked sometimes that I am actually getting to work in the industry I have wanted to work in since I was a child.  I heard a great quote the other day that said "People say good things come to those who wait.  The truth is good things come to those who work!"  So I work and I work hard to make my dreams come true.

Last night at the show I was at a place that holds a lot on memories and significance in my life.  While I was enjoying my night and really soaking up the present moment and looking forward to this new memory.  A lyric to the David Gray song Babylon popped into my head.  It really took my out of the present and made me think of the past.  Then on the car ride home after my 60+ hour work week Babylon shuffled up. The lyrics really touched me.  It had me thinking the whole ride home and pretty much was a catalyst to me writing this tonight.

I can see so many things in my life falling into place and I am really looking forward to my future.  But even with all the career success and opportunity I still feel like something or someone is missing.

I guess when it comes down to it...

I miss you.



Friday night I'm going nowhere 
All the lights are changing green to red 
Turning over TV stations 
Situations running through my head 
Well looking back through time 
You know it's clear that I've been blind 
I've been a fool 
To ever open up my heart 
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule 


Saturday I'm running wild 
And all the lights are changing red to green 
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing 
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream 
Only wish that you were here 
You know I'm seeing it so clear 
I've been afraid 
To tell you how I really feel 
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made 


 If you want it 
Come and get it 
Crying out loud 
The love that I was 
Giving you was 
Never in doubt 
Let go your heart 
Let go your head 
And feel it now 


Babylon, Babylon 


Sunday all the lights of London 
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue 
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves 
And wondering where it is you might be going to 
Turning back for home 
You know I'm feeling so alone 
I can't believe 
Climbing on the stair 
I turn around to see you smiling there 
In front of me 

If you want it 
Come and get it 
Crying out loud 
The love that I was 
Giving you was 
Never in doubt 
And feel it now 
Let go your heart 
Let go your head 
And feel it now 
Let go your heart 
Let go your head 
And feel it now

Before the Sunset

I've watched this movie twice in the past two weeks. I really have been enjoying movies that are dialogue heavy recently or maybe just movies in Paris(Midnight in Paris).  Anyways I had never seen this sequel, only the original Before the Sunrise and I have to say I really enjoyed it.  I feel like I have had many conversations similar to the ones in this film.  Here is a scene with one of my favorites.

"I guess when your young you just believe there will be many people with whom you connect with, later in life you realize it only happens a few times"

USA Women's Soccer

Well it sucks that the Women's Soccer team lost the world cup today, but I'm happy for their recent success because I had no idea how attractive a lot of them are!  I have always had a big thing for female soccer players, and it is great to see some world class professionals be so damn attractive. These are two of my favorites, Hope Solo who is gorgeous I'm talking ridiculously pretty for any profession! As well as Carli Lloyd who is so hot as well.

How to Make It in America Season 2 Trailer

Possible my favorite show on TV, HBO’s How to Make It in America, recently unveiled its trailer for its upcoming season 2. For those unfamiliar, the show focuses on the hustling lives of Ben Epstein and Cam Calderon who are eager to make their break into the cutthroat New York fashion scene. The show’s ability to infiltrate and focus on certain niche elements were among the defining points of comedic drama which also features appearances from Kid Cudi and skater Javier Nunez and none other than my celebrity Love Lake Bell. The trailer also includes Theophilus Monk‘s new single, “I STAND ALONE.”

Song of the Day Cee Lo Green "Fool For You"

What?! That real, that deep, that burning, that amazing unconditional, inseparable love
That feel like forever, that always emotional but still exceptional love
Can't nobody tell me nothing it is what it is
And any mistake you make I, I just may forgive
Right now, right now at this very moment I still love her like I loved her then
I love her in and out and up and down and 'round and 'round and over and over again
So rare they swear that you just don't exist
And It's only one person I can think of that makes me feel like this
And I'm a fool, such a fool for you!
What?! That deep, that sweet, that something That wet that fire, that fall for stuff
That up and that down, that front and that back, baby I can't seem to get enough

Song of the Day Mac Miller "Wear My Hat"

I have mixed feelings about Mac Miller, but when he puts out these videos with attractive woman and dope lyrics I have to say I like him...

Nike 6.0 “Leave a Message” Trailer

I love woman who surf.  This summer at the US Open in Huntington Beach my jaw was dropping at all the gorgeous female pro surfers!  Guess who is leading the way in showing off the rise of the female surfers? None other than Nike!


Recent years have seen an astounding growth in female professional surfers, so much that the Swoosh’s alternative sports line Nike 6.0 rises to the forefront of the sport. To address this trend, Nike unleashes the trailer to “Leave a Message”, an ode to the culture featuring surfing’s most talented women. Enjoy the trailer until May 24th when the full film releases.

Happy Valentines Song of The Day "Go" Common

The body of a dancer, we had chemistry cuz she was a Cancer
Thought forever it would last for, but forever move faster, so I had to
Still I gotta pause when I think about her in dem draws
And a ooh baby she liked it raw and like rain when she came it poured
And like a car that I can't afford I would want it then want some more
The positions our frames explored let me know she was secure, back for more I wanna

Uh, on the count of three everybody run back to your fantasy, now
GO!

Mmmm Lake Bell

My friend Tess gave me this last night while I was ADing a music video(with over 60 Extras, 10 PA's, and A band) to look at whenever I started to feel stressed. As you can see its a picture of Lake Bell with a word bubble saying she hearts me. What can I say I'm digging it...More details and footage from the music video are coming soon.

Me In My Place

There is a pretty cool site called "Me In My Place". Its basic premise is showing "real" girls in their homes, representing actual woman's bodies not models. To be honest I have been checking it out for awhile now but I think its time to share it with you because the girl that is featured on there right now is gorgeous! Her name is Chelsea and oh my god or should I say "Oh Jesus"...
