My Fail.

Ask me about any TV show (Dexter takes on religion!!), any movie, most music and I will have some opinion.
So, where's my fail? I read the headline recently that Amanda Knox was released from prison. In fact, I keep seeing this story in many media outlets. But, I have no freaking clue who Amanda Knox is or why she was in prison or why she was released.
I get the impression that her case was some media sensationalized trial, but I am ignorant on the details. And I don't seem to care enough to even look it up. Is that my laziness? Or is it an indication of the junk that is reported upon?

That's it. That's my fail for the day.
Also, did you know that there is a magazine for running/runners?
Yeah. A whole magazine dedicated to running. I think it is called Runners.

Success. Satisfaction. Pure F***ing Happiness

Fiona Apple. I've been waiting 6 years for a new album. Still waiting. In the mean time I stalk YouTube in hopes of finding some new performance or a new song or a cover. About a year ago I discovered Fiona doing a live cover of Elvis Costello's I Want You. I fell hard into a love that only Fiona can inspire. My one problem is that I couldn't find the song to download. I love music in my car, on my walks, but nooooooooo, it was never available. I could only watch the live performance on YouTube. (And it is an amazing passionate performance). But today September 24, 2011, I found the song and it's downloaded and its on my iTunes and on my iPod. It's the small things in life, right? :)

I shall share with you all the live performance. It should be watched more than once, so you can truly take in the passion. 

And if you're so inclined (which you should be) here is a link to download the mp3.
Fiona Apple : I want you 
Click the link above then right click on the link above her picture and "save link as" and maybe your dreams will come true.

Moral of this blog post : Persistence pays off. Cheers! 

Sara would have loved this performance. This is for you girl. 

Maria Mena - I am your stubborn hypocritical lover

I know I don't have a lot of followers, but if I could convince 1 person to fall in love with Maria Mena, then my week would be made! I've been a long follower of this Norwegian Pop Perfection. Her Discography reads (or sings) the ups and downs of my 20's and now into my 30's. She has a new album due in October. (Not sure when it will be available in the States! Boo!) However, until I find it, I have youtube. God bless youtube. (Her other albums are available on itunes!)

So here is a song for all of you. It's called This Too Shall Pass.  I'm playing this song on repeat. I can't get enough. I'm a huge lyric freak so under the video you will find the lyrics. 

  Not again i scream,
Over-analyzing everything.
The circle of us ,
Won't break It's pattern ,
Won't seize Cuz

-I am your stubborn hypocritical lover
Guarded by thorns of My past.
You have Been wounded, bled out
Anger gushing,
And none of us thought it would last

The winds of your ego
The waves of My tears
Made The most Perfect almighty storm That we've seen This year
But experience gathered
We've learned from our past
So don't worry darling
This too shall pass..

Soul-bruising, i look at you,
Accusingly Cuz i am Black and Blue.
Emotional fist,
You are The only man Who makes me feel like This.

I am your weakness, i am
Your protector,
But Who Will protect you from me?
The damage is obvious, patch me together,
Loosen your grip boy, i can't breathe
