Okeee well I’ve been listening to my music lots this Summer! Songs that I happily sing along with that always make me smile! Allow me to show! :)

I saw her again last night,
And you know that I shouldn’t
Just string her along; it’s just not right
If I couldn抰 I wouldn’t.
But what can I do; I’m lonely too.
And it makes me feel so good to know
She’ll never leave me.

I’m in way over my head;
Now she thinks that I love her (yeah, yeah)
Because that’s what I said
Though I never think of her.
(No, no, never think of her)

But what can I do? I’m lonely too.
And it makes me feel so good to know
(And it makes me feel so good to know…)
She’ll never leave me.

Every time I see that girl,
You know I wanna lay down and die.
But I really need that girl
Though I’m living a lie;
(Though I抦 living a lie…)
It makes me wanna cry

I saw her again last night,
And you know that I shouldn’t
Just string her along; it’s just not right.
If I couldn’t then I wouldn’t,
But what can I do, I’m lonely too.
And it makes me feel so good to know
She’ll never leave me.
(to know…know)

But what can I do? I’m lonely too.
Yeah, and it makes me feel so good to know
She’ll never leave me.

Every time I see that girl,
You know I wanna lay down and die.
But I really need that girl
Though I’m living a lie
(Though I抦 living a lie…)
It makes me wanna cry.

I saw her…
I saw her again last night.
And you know that I shouldn’t (no, no)
Just string her along; it’s just not right.
If I couldn’t, I wouldn’t;
I’m in way over my head (you say…)
Now she thinks that I love her (yeah, yeah)
Because that’s what I said…

Okay, this may be my favorite from The Mamas & Papas and I’ve really been digging them lately! It just sounds awesome and I really love the video too! And there’s parts in the video of expressions of all the members that I just love! Michelle was beautiful as could be dancing around with those clothes and just looking adorable. John with the spray at 1:29 is a funny look. And Cass just looks so damn cute at 1:44! The expression on her face just screamed it! So did 2:15! :D
Speaking of 2:15, Denny smoking the cig and the look on his face after it was funny too! I just love the song and video lots, I’m strumming away on Ovi the Ovation acoustic and singing along with it. I swear, these guys sorta define, peace, love, and happiness in a way if you ask me! Thanks for the music, you four! R.I.P. John, Denny, and Cass.

Listen Baby…

Ain’t no mountain high
Ain’t no valley low
Ain’t no river wide enough baby

If you need me call me
no matter where you are
no matter how far (don’t worry baby)
just call my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
you don’t have to worry

chorus:
‘Cause baby there
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on
I made a vow
I’ll be there when you want me
some way somehow

Chorus

No wind,
No rain

Or winter’s cold
Can’t stop me baby
’cause you are my beau
(if you’re ever in trouble
I’ll be there on the double
just send for me)
ooo baby

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand
I’ll be there on the double
just as fast as I can

Don’t you know that there aint no
mountain high enough,
ain’t no valley low enough,
aint no river wide enough to keep
me from getting to you babe

Don’t you know that there aint no
mountain high enough,
ain’t no valley low enough
aint no river wide enough to keep
me from getting to you babe

This song is just fantastic! Such a classic! It just escalates, preaches, and screams LOVE! :D
They both looked and sounded fantastic!! And Tammi, she was so young during that video! Like 21/22!! Talk about true talent!! She really was quite beautiful too! Such a damn shame she had to die so young! 24 years old of a brain tumor and she was so young, talented, and beautiful! It’s not fair! She should have had her opportunity to discover true love. :(
Marvin too! He died a little bit older but he died pretty young too. With his own fucking dad killing him! Talk about some fucked up shit! *sigh* Why must so many of the great die young with so much of their lives unfulfilled? :(
Well, at least they’re both remembered and loved by many, they both live on in that sense. Thanks Marvin and Tammi for the awesome music. R.I.P. :)

Hope you enjoyed the music! Peace, love, and happiness! ^_____^

tralalalalala :)

Wow, I am sorry to say I’ve sorta neglected this blog lately. Sorry guys, I sort of got on a bloggers block and just didn’t write. Well, that ends now! :D

So not too long ago, dad and I drove to the same theater/bar we saw Leon Russell perform at. That location is one I really love! It’s just completely awesome in so many ways! Just the drive up there, getting meatball subway sandwiches, talking to dad on the drive, listening to Sirius radio, just smiling, laughing, and loving each moment of all! It just feels so wonderful and fun! My dad is easily one of my heroes! I couldn’t ask for a better dad, he’s helped make this Summer completely fucking awesome! ^__^

Sadly, before we had drove for the Dave Mason concert (which was completely awesome!!!) my parents were on bad terms. Dad was really depressed, mom too, shit sorta was bad for about 2 days, with one of them being the concert day. Mum’s friend, Michael, had done something stupid. Mom and I visited him because she wanted to give him food and dad doesn’t like Michael because he’s kinda fucked up and is also in love with my mother. (He admitted that to her and also that he wanted to sleep with her…….)

So Michael and some black guy there start throwing a football to each other across the road. They throw it at me and I’m just standing at the porch, trying not to even play at all, lol. It was kinda annoying but yeah, I threw it back at them because, what else could I do? Well, shit sorta happens from there. Black guy leaves, mom is talking to Michael from the balcony porch and I’m not even sure what happened but Michael all the sudden pulls his shorts down and shows his ass to my mother. Right on the fucking street.

Well, someone called because of that and the damned cops came. They talked with Michael and mom, asked if he had revealed his ass, he denied it and my mom was like, “Oh, no, none of us saw it, nothing happened at all.” ….Which was just STUPID of her to say. Yeah, someone will randomly call a cop and say that, right? Ughh, mum… Anyways, the cops also asked me questions about throwing the football across the street because they were mad about that too. They ended up getting my name and my DOB and I heard my name go through their pocket radios, I’ll tell you what, not a good feeling hearing your name going through one of those. Yikes. :/

So tralalalalala, mom kept on yelling at me not to tell dad about it but I knew that wasn’t right. She must of told me like 20 times in 10 minutes and I finally just told her to back off and told dad. He deserved to know, he’s done so much for me this Summer and my entire life. Well, he flipped out and my parents were fighting like crazy. Mom was drunk, dad was mad because some scumbag who wants to fuck his wife is getting her and me involved with the police, etc. He said she’d flip at him if he had a “female friend” like how mom considered Michael her “male friend.” Yeesh, buncha crap happened there and it got to the point where I was in the midst of it all and seperated them, I sat with dad in the kitchen with the dogs. He remarked on the way there, “Well, at least the dogs won’t cause a ton of fucking bullshit.”

Heh…the dogs. They seemed so puzzled by it all but were still so cute. It was kinda nice just sitting with dad, with those two dogs. Even in the middle of an insane fight happening that night, that was a good feeling in a way.

Eventually, that fight ended but dad was so depressed the next day. (and he rarely ever shows his depression) and he’s telling me how he’s so sick of her alcoholism, attitude, and other crap and how he wondered how long he could take it. He wouldn’t even touch his guitars, he said he was too depressed for any of that. Well, those times concerned me more than any because overall, my dad is solid. He about never showcases emotions like that for me because he knows deep down, it’s not the right thing to do and it’ll only make the ones he loves feel bad. I can understand why he felt that way, though, lots of shit happens at times between her and mom, hell, it’s understandable.

Through all of that, it really did not seem like we were going to the concert at all. But, despite dad being in a completely bummed out mood, dad asked me if I still wanted to go, about 2 hours before the concert was set to start. He asked me about it but he was clearly still angered and depressed but I was hoping maybe I could cheer him up during the concert so I agreed to going to it with him. On the way out, he says going to the concert would be a good way to get away from mom. (He intentionally let her hear it as well)

Well, for the first 15 minutes, dad was still sorta bummed and all. We were playing our Sirius though and some good tunes came on and we got into some good conversation. I tried my best to be bright, cheery, and nice. I think it worked because after not long, I got him in a better mood. Dad was back to being dad, the dad I admire, respect, and love. We got some subway sandwiches on the drive there, I got a meatball sub and we chowed down while listening to some awesome tunes on Sirius. After some more driving, we arrive at the concert area! :D

Dad was in good spirits so in turn, I’m very happy with that because he was no longer in his depression mode so I felt good with myself for helping him out, he had done so much for me, it was the least I could do I thought. :)

Well, to start with the performance. Dave Mason and his crew were just so fucking awesome, Dave played guitar and sang, he had a young guitarist who played a Red Strat and an Ovation acoustic who also sang, a bassist, a keyboardist, and a drummer. They all sounded so damn awesome and dad and I had lots of fun listening to them. The music was very psychedelic like and I absolutely love psychedelic music!! :D

So yes, that concert completely rocked and I got dad in a cheery mood so I was feeling great. Next day, everything’s normal and better at home. He and mom get back in talking terms and not at each other like angry wolves. I felt great for just helping out like that, maybe that’s silly but idk, lol. :)

I’ve been leading a rather relaxed life lately, due to school being out this Summer. Lots of my time is spent practicing music or writing. I am in a Battle Royale writing roleplay challenge and working more and more on guitar and even keyboard. I was practicing the keyboard and set the sound to make it sound like a marimba. Those just sound so damn beautiful and awesome, they remind me of the sea. :)

School’s starting in about 3 weeks, in all honesty, I’m sort of dreading it and looking forward to it. It’s tough to explain, I’ll go into more detail about it some other time I suppose. :)

Also, I must say, I had a lot of fun reading my blog posts from the past because they were hilarious, fun, and reminded me of some awesome things and made me very happy for marking it all down and writing it. So, thanks Shley for getting me on board the WordPress crew. You rock! ^__^

Hah…one day many days from now, I’ll be looking at this post again. For that moment, I’d like to reserve a “Hi Huxley! LOL this was a while back ago!! :P”

Okay, it’s like 4:00 and I can feel myself falling asleep and have been that way for about 30 minutes, lol. I’ll write some more soon and update more. :D

Peace, love, and happiness! tralalalalalala! :D <333

/quick edit

Thank you also to The Journeymen! For I listened to this song the entire time writing this post, along with my singing with it, haha. Thanks John Phillips (R.I.P), Scott McKenzie, and Dick Weissman for the awesome music, it’s appreciated fellas! ^__^

I’m The Hippie Boi In The ORANGE Bandanna! :)

O hey! Today’s been a mighty great day! :D

Well, today’s been one of those fun days that was really quick. Not sure why, but I ended up waking up after sleeping like 12 hours, which is very rare for me. Anyways, spent a little time on MSN and then some more with Axel, the sexy Strat. I looked up ol Hey Joe by Sir Jimi Hendrix and then the way to play it, well, I got the recently 60 year ol Daddy head to help me out. He started playing Hey Joe and wrote down on paper how to play it, where to place my fingers, etc etc. So I’m slowly learning how to play Hey Joe by Jimi! :D

While doing that, I get an ever so pleasant surprise! :D

A bunch of kickass things by my buddies halfway across the world! Woooooohooooooo! So I’ve gotta give thanks to Sharlene and Ashley for the awesome stuff! It’s really nice of you two!! ^____^
I really love it lots! From the bandannas (I am seriously in love with the orange one!), the buttons, the artwork inside the card, the box, the guitar, the cards, everything in it made me smile happily! Makes me think how lucky I am to know such kickass peoples! :D

So thank you both for the awesome Birthday presents!! Sweet 16 is sweet indeeedyy! :)

As I wear this orange bandanna, I shall also mention some more musicians I have recently discovered! :)

Jim Croce – I first heard Jim on the roadtrip thanks to the Godly Sirius radio in Purple Honey. Now that I’m settled at home for a while longer, I get lots of time to listen to Croce play! He was one of the first to play Ovation acoustics, so just finding that out really appealed to me since I own an Ovation. Well, Jim’s got this classy “telling a story” like voice to me and I just love how he plays and sings all at once. Unfortunately, Jim was another one who died young. He died aged 30 alongside his guitar partner, who was 24, in a plane crash. What a damn shame! He was so damn good and at the peak of his career. Croce kicks ass! Check em out plz! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru5exYqe5_M

Kate Nash – Thanks goes out to Ashley for mentioning her to me! So after being told about Miss Nash, I give her a listen and am completely into the voice and the acousticy sound. Her accent is awesome! I knew she had to be part Irish the moment I heard that voice and I soon found out she is indeed! She’s young, too, only 21! Nice to see someone that young so talented! I’ll have my eyes out for her as her music career progresses. I hope she’s blessed and hopefully delivers great music for many many more years! Rock on, Kate! :D

Lovin Spoonful – Learned thanks to Sirius again! They so rock. Anyways, Lovin Spoonful was a band in those ol days and well, they play mellow, peaceful, calm music and that’s nice IMO. John Sebastion is the vocalist and I like him, he’s pretty damn good. I would love to sing like that, lol. The guitarist is awesome too, Zal Yanovsky, the look on his face at 1:17 in the video bellow is just hilarious! Sadly he died 2002. :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDDB0cRZ7NU

Again, thank you so much Sharlene and Ashley! The gifts are very much appreciated and shall always be treasured by me! You two rock!! ^_____________^

Y’know Something….

I really miss college football. Badly. I’d do anything lately to see those young student athletes in helmet and tights go around and just knock the goly shit out of each other. Just thinking of watching them all collide in the beautiful art of football, aiming to win it all, is just giving me chills and goosebumps. Me miss college football!! ^__^ (NFL is okay by NCAA is way better and more fun to watch)

Now anyone who knows me knows that overall, I’m not to high on Virginia. But! As for the Virginia Cavaliers college football team, I am a loyal fan. :)

Last year, Virginia kinda had a crazy season and even managed to get ranked Top 25 for the first time in a while and play in a bowl game, sadly we lost it but still, the season was an exhillarating and fun time! We had so many close wins in the final seconds and so many close calls that it was just insane, we won so much more than anyone would have thought! PLUS! I was there for 3 of their games with dad! :D

Yep, dad and I went to games against Georgia Tech (won by 3), Pittsburgh (won by 1 point in OT), and Wake Forrest (okay, that was a blowout, lol.) Point is, I had great times and more than often was on the edge of my seat rooting for the dudes! We had an amazing Defensive Lineman named Chris Long, who ended up being drafted 2nd overall in the entire NFL draft, he was easily one of the greatest Virginia had ever had and just seeing him play 3 times was truly something. I ended up buying both types of his jerseys, home color, and away color, lol. I was a definite fan-boi of Chris Long and despite the fact he got drafted to my least favorite team in the NFL, I still love him and wish the best! Chris Long FTW! ^_____^

Just, going to those games, one of the first things I think about with NCAA football is this word: Spirit. The game just has so much drive, soul, power, there is just this awesome feeling that I feel with it that I do not feel with NFL football. Don’t get me wrong, I like NFL too but NCAA just kills it in my heart. Going to those games you see a bunch of young college kids having the time of their lives, wise crusty vets who’ve seen so much, and adorable little kids who are getting their first taste of football. Ahhhh, it’s a truly amazing atmosphere in good ol Scott Stadium! Not to mention, there is a grass area for anyone to sit at during games to see them closer. I just love going to those games so much, way fun! :)

Spirit with rivalries is just insanely awesome. Virginia Tech……I fucking hate them!! It’s sad about the massacre that had happened and I do feel bad for that event but when in sports, sorry VT, I hate you! Damn you Hokie hicks! Hahaha….nothing like NCAA football rivalry battles! Adds to the fun and excitement and all the drama and bullshit with it! Wooooooo fucking hooooooooo!! :D :D

I’ll probably go to a game again this year so wooooohoooooooo! :D

For now, I’m going to waste away with NCAA 08 football videogames and watching clips like these on YouTube. Ahh, I love college football! Bring on the season, please! :)

PS, for those who I need to meet someday, a quick tip is to know I’m a bit insane when watching college football, let’s just say, I am VERY into it, my mind is kinda warped and I’m in a “Yeah!! Go motherfucking Virginia!! Kick their asses!! Wooooooo!!!” mode and it’s so unlike me, hehe. Yes, I am not normal but not above insane at least. :P

(Clips of Virginia VS Clemson, first time we finally beat those bastards! Woohoooo! 1990 too, old school! Far out! Ahh, I’ve been watching this for a year now, wow! :) )

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO MISSES SPORTS OF SOME SORT AM I?! OHHH C’MON, TALK TO ME IF YOU DO PLZ! :DDDD

AWESOME! I REMEMBER THIS! I WAS SO THERE TOO!! :D!!

Scratch that. THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF MORE THAN ANYTHING!! :’(

Just when I thought it was infinite, it goes and does this! Why?! Why?!!! DAMMIT ALL!!! I’ll never ever get over this!!1!

*says God dammit all*

Okay, I’ll be alright. Woooooo. *logs onto different account*

LMAO!

This video absolutely kills me!! It’s 10 minutes but I’ve watched it God knows how many times! LOL! I just can’t get enough of it, the fighting, the English voiceovers, the funny deep music, the other random parts, hahahahaha! It just kills me!! :D

Happy 60th B-Day Daddy Head

My dad turned 60, July 17, 2008. Wow. :0

Meh….only a handful of songs I really like there. No Doors, Hendrix, Beatles, Rolling Stones, or SRV? Sheesh…

(* marks the song’s I like)
