Another lesson in love.

...or lack therof.

As discussed before, John Mayer is my absolute favorite, and, as I was searching for "Love Song for No One" on YouTube, I stumbled across a certain video from Any Given Thursday. In this video, John Mayer tells a parable that is relating very closely to my life right now, and I just thought his point of view was really interesting. Enjoy.

The knots you're putting inside my stomach.

1 AM, a fight via text message, and this song is stuck in my head.


Some more attention, honey, put your hand on my hand....No more labor, I must sit and savor in the knots you're putting inside my stomach, need more water if this gets much hotter, oh you see me so, you see me too well.

Boom boom boom, kiss kiss kiss.

This is terrible.
It's 4 AM, and this song (which perfectly describes how I feel), is stuck in my head.

Put a ring on it. And a dress.

A couple of weeks ago, I did an AMAZING show for Bella Vista Bridal and Wedding Boutique in Columbia. The show went off without a hitch, and I had a blast working with everyone! Check out the video below to see lots of fun pictures (...and maybe laugh at how my expression never changes. I was having fun, I swear!)

It's coming...

Christmas is almost here, everyone! Lights are up all over the neighborhood, I'm finishing up my Christmas and birthday list (2 weeks until the big 2-0! Woo!), and I'm fighting the urge to turn my kitchen into a factory of baked goods.

So, in the spirit of the holiday, I've decided to post my two favorite Christmas songs and share my Christmas list:

Victoria's Secret Noir perfume
Black knit miniskirt
Victoria's Secret convertible sweater wrap
Silver glitter Toms
Dogeared "Karma" necklace
Nike running shorts
Vineyard Vines baseball hat
High Cotton Ties headband
20" faux pearls (I still don't trust those fratties on gameday...God forbid they should fall on me and break my real strand.)

What's Santa bringing you this year?

The Hottest Record of 2010.

Usher has been tearing it up lately.

"OMG" and "DJ Got Us Fallin in Love" have both been at the top for a while, but recently, Usher released a record featuring Jay-Z and Ciara.

Putting these 3 artists together obviously creates great music, but the trio's latest song, "Hot Toddy," is arguably the HOTTEST, SEXIEST record of 2010.

Experience the amazingness for yourself:

I am a (Wo)Man of Constant Sorrow.

An interesting phenomenon occurs in terms of my musical taste.

I like everything from classical music to top 40 hits, but one kind of music I've never particularly cared for is country music. Of course, I like some, like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, but as a general rule, it's not what I would choose to listen to.

What's interesting, though, is that I don't like country music, but I REALLY like bluegrass! I don't know why I like it, but I just do. Anyways, today I was having a really rough day, and I thought about that song "Man of Constant Sorrow" from one of my favorite movies, O Brother, Where Art Thou? If you haven't seen it, it's a great film, and you really out to watch it.

In the meantime, here's "Man of Constant Sorrow!"

Ridin Solo is Bittersweet.

If there's one song on the radio right now that I think is absolutely brilliant, it's "Solo" by Jason Derulo. Everyone loves it, and they don't know why, exactly. I know why...because the melody is taken from "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. If you listen to version on the radio, it's not noticeable unless you know the tune of "Bittersweet Symphony" by heart (like me).

However, the original version of the song DID have "Bittersweet Symphony" in it! When Jason Derulo came out with the recording, the members of The Verve loved it, but advised him against using it in the song, as The Verve had been sued some years ago for using a tune from an old Rolling Stones song (not sure which one).

Despite the legal issues, the original version of "Solo" is available online, and, lucky for you, dear readers, I have it! It's even better than the version on the radio!

Listen and enjoy!
