I came across this video that I thought was cool. The first time I watched it… I was like- “hmm, that’s cool… I guess” …then I watched it again for some reason- and liked it a bit more. Then I watched it again to show someone else. Then I noticed that every time I watched it- I noticed something new. So finally I decided to Google the words/lyrics and read through them. It seemed to be one of those things that a big part of myself wanted to judge… and finally I just had to tell myself to shut up and come to the realisation that I kind of loved the whole thing.
In other news… I’ve been having this overwhelming desire to go to Massachusetts. About 2 days ago, I discovered how to pronounce the name of the State. Yep- it was something I could never do… I always said something sounding like Massachshus… or worse! -Massachushits. But the other day when actually reading how it was spelt and then saying it outloud.. wow, I was so excited. Massachusetts. MASSACHUSETTS. I CAN SAY IT!! WOO! MASS. A. CHU. SETTS.
You know how people from Hawai’i or Samoa say the name of their homeland with this really great accent and emphasis on weird letters? Ha-wy-ee. Sah-mowa. Something that only they can seem to do. Well I used to think that about Massachusetts… like only people from MA could say it. Even people from other American states just didn’t sound the same. But wow. Now I’m converted.
And now I must go and visit. I don’t even really know what’s there. The Red Sox right? What else? Please do tell, if you’ve been there. Give me some advice. Is it a good place to live? What’s the weather, people, transport and vibe like? Obviously I could probably find this info through Google or the likes… but how much better to get it from real Massachusans (is that what they’re called?)?
Tell me everything!!

p.s. here’s the words to that video if you’re interested:
To be a survivor in this Amazing Race
with the need for speed you need God’s Grace
and if your desperate like housewives watching days of our lives,
you can’t cope without hope and that is not on a soap.
If your looking to Oprah or Dr. Phil you can shop non-stop or pop a pill,
but the void won’t fill and the pain won’t kill until you love the one that hung on a hill.
Kicking back in your lazy boy easy chair watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,
nah your not gonna find it there.
No American Idol or Council Tribal has the final answer that will satisfy ya.
C. S. I. ain’t got a clue. S.V.U. Don’t know what to do
Not the E R or those seen on a CD TV DVD or MP3 can save you and me.
CNN has got no Good News here’s a headline you must choose.
It’s not a simple life Paris Hilton, it’s treading on thin ice living in sin.
You can be an apprentice for Donald Trump or eat Fear Factor fast food from a dump
you can be a heavy hitter or wheel of fortune winner or a Fox news no spin spinner or flat sinner
but you better check this life that your livin’ and make sure your sins are forgiven.
I bet cha 50 cent Elvis done come and went,
and eventually every Black-eyed-pea, Gwen Stefani, P-Diddy and Britney.
Every wanna-be on M T V with their Icy Bling, every Dixie Chick that Sings,
they all gonna see the king of kings.
I don’t care if your J-Lo, Leno or Bono.
One thing you gotta know.
Some day your gonna die, Bro.
Then Where are you gonna go?
Hey, I’m not talking some punk junk that is irrelevant.
Like your Grandma’s church from way back when.
It’s not some preacher feature on T B N. that you need to be liking or listening.
The real superstar is Jesus Christ. He’s the way, the truth and the life.
One day he’s gonna split the sky. He is the brightest light and the highest high
and so what I came to say and what I’m telling you is don’t buy that stupid stuff they be selling ya
it’s all designed to fill your head and waste your space until your dead
