never say never (the fray)

ladies an gents. I, am a horriable blogger. *sighs* oh well. Today i am home with a cold (like what's new) and i decided that i at least wanted to post about my second biggest thing that has happened to me this year. first, i met my favorite actor back in april in person. Then this past week, i was able to get tickets  ((((awesome up close)))) to see my favorite band preform. and when i say my favorite....i mean it!  i have loved this band from the start and and when i heard that they were coming to my area for a concert...I did everything i could to get tickets (the event was sold out within days) for me and my little cousin Hailey who just happens to love them as much as me. the fray. THE FRAY!!!

in case you didnt read that right.....THE FRAY! that's right, me and hailey were rocking out to the fray on december 11th and making are selves hoarse. the night was fantastic! alive! i shall always hold that night close. isn't it something that you can say you've had to big things accomplished in a year?!

here are the links to my favorite fray songs.
heartbeat is their current single. and when they played it that night....everyone went crazy...including myself lol

over my head (cable car)  ||  you found me   ||  how to save a life ||  never say never || heartbeat

the good life {song obsessed}

i love this song so much. all my life, i can remember my aunt carolyn telling me how life has so much good in it. and even though life has so much heartache....so much pain and suffering.....I say life is still good. it is oh so good. from kind smiles to simple days of cleaning and folding fresh sheets from the dryer to sitting in church and singing your favorite hymn. simple things that i hope you my dear readers...string them along and find that life and being here and having this chance that heavenly father has given us to explore.....is oh so good.

Song Obsessed {little to much}

lately, i have been noticing how songs playing in the back of movie trailers just pop out at me. songs that i would never had notice unless it wasn't for the trailer. with that said, the trailer for the above pictured soon to be movie something borrowed has been playing a lot on the hospital tv's we have in all the hallways. and the song played at the end of the trailer became and insane fave. to see the trailer go here. 

the song is called little to much by natasha bedingfield and i became so in love with it. so in love that it's been my driving jam, walking jam and all others "jams" to listen to. it just puts a little pop in my own step as i walk down a street or in a store. i'm also thinking about buying the book to read on the plane. anywho can't wait for the movie and i hope you like the song. toootles!!!

rolling in the deep of Adele

 

if you havent listened to adele, your not my friend anymore.

okay. that was alittle over dramatic but really, if you havent you need to. adele's new album adele 21 has been on major repeat on the ipod. her voice justs cuts you to the core and the ripples of emotion she pours into a song makes me glad i am a woman. that i a woman and i'm single and i am strong. so thank you adele!

below is my favorite. also check out this one...it. simply. reaches. me.

....I love {every thing is about timing}

i. love. this. song. the end.

around here {2:59pm}

my bathroom, getting ready for tonight. 2:59pm. while listening to this (new song obsessed). 

have a lovely weekend.

you were born today

dear angelus,
today, i turned around and now your 8. eight years old is such an important number. if i was to share my favorite thing about you to the world, i would share how very kind you are. it truly amazes me how sincere you are to your grandmothers and watch out for them if their going down steps or hold the door for them or fuss at them if they say the don't feel good and you ask them to lay down and rest or if they took their medicine. i love you with all my heart. let's see...eight things to note.

1. you are VERY tall. and it's really funny how i make you hold my hand when were at the mall or crossing the street and your only 3 inches from my full height.

2. you fuss if some one changes the channel on the radio or takes out your cd because your in the back seat singing away.

3. corn dogs and mashed potatoes are your favorite meal

4. army men, building blocks, and legos are your favorite things to play with.

5. your dad is your best friend and you guys do everything together

6. you can't stand for any of us to say "i love you" in public because it embarrass you LOL
and i love to torcher you with saying things like "angelus, do you need any new underwear?"...really loudly in stores.

7. you have this adorableness of a small mole right above your upper lip that i just heart

8. and finally, you LOVE to break dance!!! many a video do we all have on cell phones, cameras etc of you and your break dancing skills for future embarrassment!

Happy Birthday to my little stud whose not so little anymore! And to celebrate, I'm sharing an honorary song obsessed from Angelus. This is his current favorite..."turn the radio up, nobody talk to me because this song is on" obsession.

to the beach & song obessed "mine" {taylor Swift}

it's 4:54 am. AM! and for some reason, i just cant sleep. i'm leaving in less then 3 hours for one final summer vacation but yet a very important one. my nephew (did you know he's lucky enough to live at the beach?) will be turning 8 years old this friday. and for that, i wouldnt miss it for all the tea in china....it's a good thing i don't drink tea (!!) LOL. so, my suitcase is just about packed and my toes are painted a lovely shade of hot pink. my ipod is charged with freshly new purchased driving (tuning out my aunts) songs and my beach bag is filled with books to escape too. this friday, I have a scheduled post that will be popping up while i'm gone but let me draw your attention to the music video below. did you know i heart taylor swift? like, i can sing every song off both her albums sorta way :) well, her latest song "mine" was just released and i immediately bought it off of itunes. i thought, cute, catchy...but not one of my faves. HOWEVER, when i saw her music video that goes with it last night....i fell in love! i'm freakin obsessed with how cute it is (minus a few cheesy cheesy looks now and then) srsly. I adore it! please watch it. like, all the way. it makes me wish it was some sappy chic flick i could watch play out over and over. go a head, click it.

Half of My Heart {Song Obessed}

please enjoy! also, just FYI
(and keep this a secret will ya dearies? -like that's gonna happen LOL) ..... tierra's going on date tonight with the fellow(GASP)!! On my list of things to do is go get my nails & toenails repainted. I'm thinking red...for both. What say ye? I say YES PLEASE (SQUEEEE)
dear john, you look oh so good lookin in this video. the hair? *Sighs* just sayin.

And I was like Baby, Baby, Baby ...

(head is hanging in embarrassment)....ladies & gents. I have unfortunately succumb to bieber fever. well. not HUGELY. but, I found myself today buying these two songs on itunes today and I've been jamming all day. (head is MAJORLY hiding in embarrassment LOL) don't even ask me how this happened because i have no clue.

All the good things...

When I saw this, It made my day so much better. Every now and then I'll watch it again just to lift me up. To prove and show that there is still so much good in this world. Still beautiful moments with beautiful faces. Oh to see and believe as a child does.

On this Crazy Ride

Okay. Tierra is being a loser because she just can't seem to find the right way to take back her own blog. I mean, it's not like it was stolen from me but in away, I've been gone for so long that I'm used to it. How do I make a comeback? What should I really post about to make a comeback? Love life? School plans? Past pictures from Holidays? Well, really. So for tonight, I just had this HUGE urge to post this music video of my newest song obsession. Cause, you know...music is everything to me. I love this song for many reasons. For one, it reminds me of my mom. And mommy/daughter love. It also reminds me of my life. Like, images floating through my head while listening to it of me growing up. A life Lullaby. Yes, I like that thought.

Song Obession

Isn't it funny how you can hear a song on the radio and not really think nothing of it But, put it to the back drop of an upcoming chick flick and immediately you listen to song that has been set to lead off the tone of the movie and fall in love with it?

Well, while I was in theaters watching New Moon, the movie trailer for the Nicholas Sparks new book to film "Dear John" came on and I being the sap that I am was in awe of this upcoming new chick flick that will probably make me cry. Anywho. The song playing in the background of the movie Trailer is called "Set the Fire to the third Bar" By Snow Patrol...

First} Watch the Trailer for Dear John {haven't read the book} but it looks amazing....




Second} Now, after hearing it from the love story above.... listen to it and see the difference.
I fell in love. In which case I give you my new song obsession...Srsly. I have been replaying this all morning.

Just let the Music Play

This is my "Car Jam" song...
Ya know, the one where you just blair it
and your driving along, shades on and life. is. good.
It's also...my ringtone. Awesome.



I can't decide which version I like the best.

GleeKer

That's right...I'm a complete Gleeker. I LOVE this show. The music. The cast. The love triangle. LOVE it all.

And the funny thing I find is that a lot of the actors who sing on the show auditioned for American Idol but didn't make it. These days...this all I rock out to in the kitchen.

Ta-ta...Off to watch Glee tonight.

Song Obsessed

I LOVE this SONG!
Shakin it in my kitchen right now LOL
Clicky it so you can shake it too -wink-

I'm singing in the...Elevator?

You wanna hear what I've been dreaming, whistling, humming, singing over and over and over?
God Bless the Broken Road. My other cousin Alexa is getting married this Friday and I was asked to sing for them. So, I've been constantly rehearsing. I'm excited & nervous. Before this is over, I will be able to do a full concert in my sleep LOL

More then just a game for Two

Tierra??? What are you singing at the top of your lungs in your kitchen-shower-car-elevators etc etc????

LOVE-by Nat King Cole. I ADORE this song. Just can't get enough of it. Enjoy!
