I’m likin’ this song right now. It’s from the Kings of Leon and the band’s new CD Only By Night. The syncopated drum beat really drives this tune.
“Use Somebody”
i’ve been roaming around
i was looking down at all i see
painted faces fill the places i can’t reach

Comfort.
From the time we enter the world as crying, shivering babes to the time we draw a last breath – our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and children seek that which brings them comfort in life.
It’s measured in many different ways depending on who we are and where we’re at in life. A pre-school student finds [...]

“F**king F**k.”
In pure Coen brother movie tradition, “Burn After Reading,” starring George Clooney, Francis McDormand, John Malkovich, and Brad Pitt, among others, lives up to all expectations.
The dark comedy centers around a twisted love quadrangle in which even the viewing audience can get lost in quickly if they don’t pay close attention.
When the fitness center’s [...]

Oh yes, it’s done.
To much fanfare and tribute, officials conducted a pre-dawn crossing of the bridge (both in the north bound and south bound lanes) for the first time today, Sept. 18, 2008. That’s just 13 months and 17 days after the old bridge collapsed. An amazing feat.
I, personally, don’t use the 35W bridge frequently. [...]

Spoiler Alert: This post has nothing to do with the Coen movie starring George Clooney and an all-star ensemble cast (although I plan to see that very movie sometime this weekend and will post a review following said viewing).
This post is about Mission Impossible, the TV series not the Tom Cruise movie series. Can you [...]

Known best for her a song titled, “Amnesia,” MoZella’s tunes continue to grab my interest. This one called, “Can’t Stop,” has been on autoreplay in my car for the past week. It’s not the greatest video, but you’ll get the idea.
“Can’t Stop” Lyrics
Speak to me, read my mind
Fill your mouth, with [...]

Just had to post this excerpt from an article published in today’s Anchorage Daily News on Republican veep candidate Sarah Palin and her philosophies as one-time mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. You can read the whole story here.
Speaking to a teleconference audience of reporters around the nation, former (Alaska) Gov. Tony Knowles and current Ketchikan [...]

Not long ago, a friend asked if I truly knew what love felt like. Of course I do, I blurted. I have children – two beautiful children who I love with all of me and who I would do anything to please. It’s this unconditional love that so many of my generation seem to be [...]
