Trailer of the day - Trespass
Not the biggest fan of Nic Cage but I LOVE Nicole and the director, Joel Schumacher, was the creator of Phone booth, but then again, he also did Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, so we shall see.

Three poems written my junior year of High School and edited now
Home
Over the vast Atlantic
To the land of the "free"
Across the country of the brave
Upon reaching the land of ten thousand lakes
Within an abundantly magical city
Along a not so quiet street
You'll find me on the corner of 54th
At home
Treasure Chest
Between heaven and hell
During the darkest of nights
Underneath the star blown sky
In a wide, flowing, grassy field
Toward the center of this ocean
Next to the base of a lone oak
You'll find it
The Unseen
By way of tedious transport
Through the narrow, winding streets
Past the fountain of the hero
To the market full of loud, bustling bodies
Across the pasture of crooning cows
Towards a solitary house
Beneath the creaky wooden floor boards
Lies only darkness
Over the vast Atlantic
To the land of the "free"
Across the country of the brave
Upon reaching the land of ten thousand lakes
Within an abundantly magical city
Along a not so quiet street
You'll find me on the corner of 54th
At home
Treasure Chest
Between heaven and hell
During the darkest of nights
Underneath the star blown sky
In a wide, flowing, grassy field
Toward the center of this ocean
Next to the base of a lone oak
You'll find it
The Unseen
By way of tedious transport
Through the narrow, winding streets
Past the fountain of the hero
To the market full of loud, bustling bodies
Across the pasture of crooning cows
Towards a solitary house
Beneath the creaky wooden floor boards
Lies only darkness
Trailer of the day - La piel que habito
Yay! Antonio Banderas in a role where he speaks his native tongue! I'm sold! Hahaha.
Song of the day brought to you by Explosions in the Sky
I know I said I'd give you a song by the chain gang but I'm seeing my second and final concert for my weekend back home with my best friend at, you guessed it, First Avenue. The band? Explosions in the sky. A sweet four piece that is completely instrumental. Two guitarists, a bassist, and a guy on drums. They've apparently been trying to find a singer the entire twelve year, six record career, and I'm glad they haven't. Give them a listen and I promise you won't be disappointed!

Shout out to my mixed blood kin
Powerful and accurate portrayal of our lives as depicted by a student from my high school (at least something we go through feeling).
As you look at a person who is of mixed race, do you ever consider what they feel everyday? I wonder if people notice we're different from the rest of them, or that we never had a "type" with which we completely fit in. What are we supposed to call ourselves when we never really had a name? And we can't run to our parents for help because they are the ones who made us exist. It's hard acting like both black and white because those races are very different. Both are very fun in their very own different ways, but when you're hanging with your black people and white friends come up, they don't mix well, and you're stuck in the middle. I can't really say I'm jealous about someone's skin color because, like me, they didn't get to choose who they are, but I guess you can say I'm kind of envious they don't have this one little thing stressing them out.

Saw these guys for the second time (first time was at lolla this year) with my best friend from back home at First Avenue in Minneapolis. I LOVE this venue because of it's intimacy and these guys ROCKED OUT!!! They were so humble and very surprised at how warmly us 612ers accepted them. The opening band The Chain Gang of 1974 also put on a solid performance, I'll put on a song by them tomorrow.

Trailer of the day - Dirty Girl
Doesn't have the greatest rating on imdb but it still looks like a lot of fun!
Song of the day brought to you by The Dodos
I guess yesterday I took the day off, I don't have internet at my place regularly on account of my computer beings stolen and my boyfriends computer not working so that's why I've been a little slow lately. But without further ado, here's today's song!

Trailer of the day - Drive
This opened last month but my friend just watched it and said it was brilliant and I trust his judgement. Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan are AMAZING too so I definitely need to check this flick out myself as well.

Patience (A Virtuous Tale) - I wrote this this morning
I learned from watching you
One of those things I picked up and amplified to an unhealthy extreme
Whether waiting in line,
Delineating instruction,
Or driving around town
He's told me to breathe, to slow down
I've tried, HARD
I keep trying
It's a constant struggle to re-evaluate myself;
To take a step back and comprehend
That some things just don't work out the way you'd like
And that sometimes you won't have control
That's OK
Giving up that control is a feat;
A feat I cannot accomplish without help
YOUR help
I've learned to distract myself
I can still move at the speed of sound
Even if everyone else can't break the barrier
So I distract myself
Sometimes with the mundane
Other times with a challenge
But I distract myself
I distract myself to the point that I've slowed down on the inside
But not on the out
So, again, I pretend
I put on a show
Very few know the show of which I speak
Only they can tell and won't applaud when I bow
Without them, I'm lost
I'd get lost in my show,
Never again able to connect and forever alone
But, as they say, the show must go on
One of those things I picked up and amplified to an unhealthy extreme
Whether waiting in line,
Delineating instruction,
Or driving around town
He's told me to breathe, to slow down
I've tried, HARD
I keep trying
It's a constant struggle to re-evaluate myself;
To take a step back and comprehend
That some things just don't work out the way you'd like
And that sometimes you won't have control
That's OK
Giving up that control is a feat;
A feat I cannot accomplish without help
YOUR help

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! AD freak out!
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! This is seriously one of the best show's EVER! My top 3 comedic shows are Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, and Arrested Development
