"christmas lights, keep shining on"

coldplay. seriously?

they don't ever cease to amaze me. honestly. 

and miss gwyneth, she better count her many blessings. 

i just love this holiday song of coldplays. 

have you ever been to one of their concerts?

if not, i HIGHLY recommend it. 

honestly, the best concert i've ever been too. 

i cried in it. i cried because i was moved and touched. 

christ martin knows how to do it. now, im not some 

music junkie and i dont know the facts of life when it comes to it, 

but i know my personal taste in music and what really speaks to me

and coldplay hands down, will always do that. 

if coldplay doesn't do it for you... then i don't know what will. 

you know how some musicians you love come out with new jams

and it's just a little different then what you are used to hearing? 

and you say to yourself, "mmm yeah, give me a month to get use to it. 

it will grow on me, and by then i'll be in love with the song." 

this never happens to me with coldplay. never. 

i instantly think... wow, he's done it again.
really though, don't you kind of get just an intsy bit
emotional when you watch this video and hear this song?
it just makes me happy. really happy, for the things i have in life.
the people and even the strangers who go out of their way to just be kind.
thats what i think of when i hear this song.
so thank you coldplay for putting a smile on my face
 gwyneth knows what im talking about. 

im pretty sure chris martin is THE scientist.

my roomie miss nicole mignon had a little fun with mariss

and i the other night. she just did a little touch up on our eyes 

for a "night life" look. sometimes i think nik should can advertising

in the bag, and take a seat behind a mac counter at nordstrom or something. 

the three of us had fun doing makeup a little more exaggerated then we'd actually wear it

but i felt like i was about to go on a photo shoot. and i got really antsy. 

i was pretending as if i were famous. my secret dream is to be famous.

just so i can be all fancy, and throw on an oscar de la renta gown.

we all have dreams though, right? pah. 

michael joseph jackson.

i really can't help but constantly stalk mj on the internet.

im pretty sure mj is a part of my life everyday

whether it be my ipod, my pandora jackson 5 station

or my constant youtube videos of his most famous performances. 

i just loved this mtv 2009 awards tribute to him after his death. 

i just love that janet was a part of it

and i seriously loose it when beyonce can hardly

stand herself during mj's "scream." 

honest to goodness there are a few things in life i dream of. 

1. wont ever happen, but it was to attend mj's concert. 

it's fine, really it's fine because cirque du soleil is holding their

MICHAEL JACKSON THE IMMORTAL WORLD TOUR. 

you're dying right now, i know... please dont buy my ticket and take my spot, i have to save up for this beautiful occasion. my life depends on it. sort of like the time my dad and i chased down u2 tickets in atlanta and they sold in a heartbeat and i cried. i was so depressed, my dad ran to best buy and bought u2 LIVE on dvd. he's a good man. either way he surprised me with two U2 concert tickets for my sister and I in salt lake. it was a great time in my life. but i do believe this could one up it, and i have to save my pennies, so whoever you are, as much as i appreciate your support of my blog... do not buy out all of these tickets. i beg of you. i also might ask you to leave my blog if you take my ticket. 

mj for life. 

2. goal in life. to be a sick dancer. oh my word, if i could move the way these dancers do...

if i could get my act together and memorize, understand and pull off all of mj's memorable dances... i wouldn't have a care in the world. i'd be groovin all day long. not that i already don't, but im pretty pathetic when i try to learn his stuff. 

all i know is that i love this tribute.

and i love mj's kit kat jams. 

and i just flat out love michael joseph jackson, 

the king of pop. 

forever and always. 

p.s. mom and dad (if you see this post, which i do hope you read my blog, i ask that this may be an early birthday present. here is the website for reservations....

if england does not allow you to upload this US website, which they most likely wont because its my grocery store right around the corner... totally ghetto too... then contact me asap) i say this with a wink and a smile. 

sweet carolina.

can you tell by our faces that we aren't ready to put up with the snow?

lexi lou and i constantly keep ourselves reminded throughout the year

of how good life is when we spend it in our favorite place on earth. 

hilton head island, south carolina. 

i'm pretty sure my friends are either really curious about this island of mine, 

or would really love for me to shut up about it. 

i talk about this place all. of. the. time. 

sometimes i even get sick of listening to myself ramble on. 

really though, once the snow has a touchdown, 

my countdown begins and i torture myself up until june. 

i surprise myself every time the first snow hits.

i end up kind of digging it, and i do enjoy the silent and still

winter nights. and weather does really make the holidays feel more alive

but holy cow, there is nothing like a good southern coast, 

with great southern people

and a peach daiquiri 

and the scorching heat of the sun. 

now you know why my main blog picture 

is what it is. i can't bring myself to update it. 

frost yourselves.

does anyone remember that crazy blizzard of 2010

that was supposed to knock utah out of the water?

does anyone remember when macy's grocery store was out of control

with shoppers believing it was the end of the world?

do you think the shoppers have forgotten that the millenium craze

has past and 2012 (the end of the world) is still a year away?

whether you ripped out the isles of your local store to prepare

for the beast or not, do you remember when it never showed up at your door?

i do. and i was livid. i was ready to live through a historic event

while eating puppy chow and watching flick after flicks. 

what baffles me is the blizzard of 2010 occured 5 days after the warning, 

with no warning at all. and i got to haul ryder my 4runner through the 

nonexistent, frosted, deadly 1-15 roads to pick up some friends at the airport. 

what should have been a 45 minute ride, became a 2 hour.

i was driving 25 mph. yeah, i know what you're thinking...

i was dying. and my arms were about to snap. my grip on that steering wheel

was dangerous and i was on a mission to make it to salt lake. 

and i did. and my mission was accomplished. 

and ryder has no Band-Aids, and my roomie nik finds my driving magnificent. 

and i was rewarded with a few tokyo drifts (doughnuts)  in the church parking lot 

with nik and robby and i was screaming my head off. 

we were cautious. don't you fret. 

i have a feeling winter is going to be hanging out with us for quite some time.

welcome winter, thanks for dropping in. 

hi my little turkeys.

hope ya'll had a fabulous thanksgiving!

i was fortunate enough for the huntsman family

to take me in for the holidays, due to family scattered all over.

we drove our way up to a beautiful cabin in park city

and ate more than i'll ever know.

i feel really sick right now, but really satisfied.

i had a really great time this holiday.

though i missed my parents a lot,

i had a great family to open their arms for me.

and for that, i am thankful.

happy gobble gobble to all of you!
