Favorite Lyrics - The Fixer

This song is a little heavy on the ‘yeah’s, but they are fun to sing (read: scream) along to when you’re listening, so I left them in this lyrics transcription. They really help to set the mood of the tune. Plus, that’s just the way Eddie Vedder sings a lot of his upbeat tunes, and Pearl Jam’s “The Fixer” is no exception.

I can really relate to this song. I love to help. I love to cheer people up. I love to try to fix things when they’re not right. But mostly, I love…

~ ~ ~

yeah, hey, hey
When something’s dark, let me shed a little light on it
When something’s cold, let me put a little fire on it
If something’s old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When something’s gone, I wanna fight to get it back again

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When something’s broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin’ on it
When something’s bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If something’s low, I wanna put a little high on it
When something’s lost, I wanna fight to get it back again

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If there’s no love, I wanna try to love again

I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I’ll find us a way to make light
I’ll dig your grave, we’ll dance and sing
What’s saved could be one last lifetime

hey, hey, hey
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah

Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A Horrible Interruption

I’m sure some of you have caught this already, but it’s too good not to post. And if you have seen it already, it’s certainly worth a second (or third) viewing.

Last week, Neil Patrick Harris hosted the Emmy Awards. At one point in the broadcast, Dr. Horrible interrupted the broadcast.

For those of you keeping track at home, this is the link that I was referring to yesterday.

Sometimes My Mind is of the One-Track Variety

Ack! I have two things that I want to blog about, but I can’t do either of them right now. One requires a picture that has yet to be taken and the other requires a link that is sitting on a computer that I can’t get to right now.

I could write something else funny and original or maybe thought provoking, but nope. I want to share a picture and/or a video with you and now that has put my brain into a special kind of writer’s block where all I can think of is that picture and that video. At least they are both pretty cool. It’s a nice place to have my mind stuck right now.

Please Leave - Haiku

I have no problem
with you, little moth. Except
when you’re in my grill.

Thanks To My Family

I want to take a minute (and this blog entry) to thank everyone who spent this last weekend with me, celebrating my birthday. It was incredible and the last time I can remember feeling that happy and having so much fun for my birthday was during one of my birthday celebrations when I was a little kid. The only thing missing was a new Transformers toy, though we did have a relatively new Nerf gun.

So, big thanks to my family, my two closest friends, and my girlfriend for spending the weekend at my house celebrating my start of another year. Actually, I’m going to change that last sentence to be: So, big thanks to my family for spending the weekend at my house. Don’t let the omission of a few words fool you into thinking that only my blood relatives joined in on the celebration. My two best friends and my girlfriend were still there, but the word “family” is meant to include them, too. Labeling them “friend” or “girlfriend” doesn’t come close to explaining how important they are to me and how much better my life is because they are in it. For all intents and purposes they are family. I love each of them like family. By any definition of the word they are family. Okay, maybe not this definition:

13. a unit of the Mafia or Cosa Nostra operating in one area under a local leader. (via dictionary.com)
