Swim for the music that saves you when you're not so sure you'll survive.
This is quite honestly one of the best lyrics from any song, ever of all time. Not an exaggerated, hyperbolic statement, but one of fact. It is lyrics like that, and pretty much every song on the new Jack's Mannequin CD that inspires me, makes me feel alive and good to listen to such meaningful words. Upon the first listen, I was in love. It really ( Read more... ) -
Change we can believe in... YES WE CAN.
I just got home from an Obama speech watching party and boy was it riveting. Aside from the crazy orgies (with the MANY geriatrics) and satanic worship, we all happened to have a good time, coming together as supports of not one, as Obama said, but as supporters of all of us.
WE are the change WE have been waiting for.
Those are powerful, moving ( Read more... ) -
Don't don't, don't let's start, why did we ever part?
As I sit here, jamming out to the Jimmy Eat World, possibly illegal bootleg, yet rockin' live CD entitled "Mississippi Nights" I am just thinking of things that have been going on in my life. I know I haven't had too much time to sit down and write things down, but come in, sit down, stay awhile. I will catch you up on los actividades de Adam.

A Weekend of F-U-N
So I had a pretty great weekend. Even a slow, dragging Monday where I was hella busy couldn't bring me down. I spent my Friday trying to stay up and watch Smart People with Libby, but I could not muster the strength, even though it seemed pretty good. I copied it, so I can watch it later. I think that is the earliest I have gone to bed on a Friday ( Read more... ) -
I'm Not Gonna To Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You.
So I just got out of yet another free movie screening tonight. This time Libby, Ben and myself got to see Tropic Thunder. I won't say that Pineapple Express from last night was topped cause that was an instant classic, but I was not let down by TT. I fully expected to be, and that is what made it even greater. Even as I sit here now eating some ( Read more... ) -
Now hes gonna think I have a shrine to him at home and touch myself inappropriately! (Pt. 2)
Thursday, July 3rd was a momentous occasion for me, one that will never be forgotten, well at least not until dementia sets in and I shit my pants on a daily basis. But for the time being, I will never forget it. It was the culmination of two running themes that run the course of my life the last five years, three months and 10 or so days, or maybe ( Read more... ) -
Prepare to be Wrong.
I am currently watching this show on FX called "30 Days" which was created by the same guy who did that Super Size Me movie. It is a very interesting show that really delves into the real emotions of beliefs that people hold onto. One was where a Christian moved into a Muslim household, and another was a very manly straight man in a gay household, ( Read more... ) -
And Maybe, We Were Made, We Were Made For Each Other.
I was driving home just a few minutes ago and I was listening to a CD that I made that has a bunch of MP3's, about 20 of the songs on the CD were the Jack's Mannequin show from that wonderful Valentines day show, 2007. I got to the last two songs on the CD, "MFEO", part one is "Made For Each Other" and part two is "You Can Breathe." No two other ( Read more... ) -
His conception was an act of animosity, why shouldn't his life be one as well?
So I just got through watching Igby Goes Down with my wife just now, and I cried at the end unlike I have before in the past. It could be because the place that I am in life right now and how a few things have possibly changed for the better, or just how different my life in general is.
The movie it self deals with some pretty heavy issues, mostly ( Read more... ) -
Since Myspace Blogs is being a Douche.. Panic at the Disco review for you!
Much has been made of the appending of the exclamation point on the name and the use of a different music style. I hate to get high expectations for movies and music because to watch or listen to it and be disappointed is worse than having no preconceived notions, but my damn addiction to music mags and the internet made that damn near impossible.
