For some reason, I am in an anarchy-kind of mood..perhaps the Mad Men finale sparked a "fire in my Belly" for rebellion. Or perhaps it was the non-stop Who music I have been playing in the house? All I know is..this movie is the perfect companion to my emotions..
Watched the Mad Men season finale and loved it! The storyline is one of the best I have ever seen on tv (and I have watched a lot on the tube). I wholeheartedly recommend you get yourself a copy of season 1 & settle in for an evening of dashing ad men and sharp dames..
KCRW’s online-only music channel Eclectic24 will stream the soundtrack to the latest film in the “Twilight” series tonight at 8pm PST on Monday, Nov 9. “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” OST will also be available streaming ON DEMAND for one week only! You can check it all out here.

Ok,
You've talked me into it
stock the fridge with beer
and get this show on the road
it's all piss
but who are we to judge
never say
meant to be
to me again
because if that were true
well, it's in my blood
to live in boxcars
and yet here I am
with my 4 door sedan
but who am I to judge
let's sing it to just the red eyes in the back
I'll put the sticker on my case
to know you love me
spell Heart Beat as two words
because they are to me
more than just a thing
we're more than just a thing
and it takes everyday
to get me by
I know I can't make it perfect
but I will try
and I can't be afraid of me or you
or what lives beneath the floorboards
but I know it's ok to hide
after I've put it all away
it takes more than just a day
to get me by
Making It Happen
from DailyOm
There are times in our lives when all the signs seem to be pointing us in a particular direction. Our thoughts and dreams are echoed in the songs and stories we hear and the media we see. Maybe the message we are getting from the universe doesn’t even make sense in the “real” world, but somewhere inside, these urges feel right. Maybe you feel you are being told to move to a new city although your life where you are is just fine. Or maybe you feel the desire to pursue a new direction in your career when it never really interested you before. When we spend time getting in touch with our higher selves, our intuition sends us directives to lead us to become our best and most fulfilled selves. And when we are open and listening, the next step is to take action and go for it.
Once we make the decision to pursue our inner urgings, the universe sets into motion the means for all sorts of details to fall into place. A sense of peace will come over us, because we know that any questions will no longer make us wonder if our dreams are possible, but how to make them happen. Instead of deterring us from our goal, these questions only serve to clarify our focus to move us forward. We need not throw caution to the wind to follow our dream. The positive shift in our energy affects everything around us. Like a rush of water, it goes ahead to clear debris from our path so that we can go forward. Our new attitude also attracts likeminded people. Sometimes even the most unlikely angels arrive to help us along our way with the information and support we need.
Wherever your dreams are pointing you today, take a step. Take action and manifest your inner urges and soul whisperings.
