Like hollow footsteps in the hall...

So, one of my favorite bands Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons just came out with a new album today "Death Won't Send A Letter". I haven't heard the whole thing yet and my itunes isn't working so I can't buy it right now.

But I don't know the last time I was this excited for a CD.

The first time I ever heard them, I had just landed in Milwaukee to visit friends. Ashley, Wai, Liz and I went to this CD store to see one of Wai's friends. While in there, CC&TWS were playing a small set. There were probably 10 people listening.

I was immediately infatuated. Their sound is so emotional, so deep and I went into this phase where I was living the music. Not many people were really paying attention to the music, but I was IN it.

When their set was done, I found their CD and went up to them to basically praise their talent. Both Cory and Adriel were the nicest, most down to earth people. They thanked me profusely and it felt so genuine.

The CD Store was very small, so I kept bumping into Cory while I was looking at other CD's. Every single time I saw him, he thanked me again.

There's something about musicians like that. It's so easy to be conceited when you know you're amazingly talented, but when you aren't... people are so much more impressed with you.

Needless to say, it's very easy for me to love them.

To this day, I can put on their album "Cabin Ghosts" and I'm in a trance. Nothing else matters, I'm feeling, walking, breathing the music. Any band that can make me escape life that much, deserves to be one of my favorites for life.

It also doesn't hurt that Cory is not at all bad to look at...

How can it be...

we are losing ourselves?

And why can I not sleep,

underneath my own hell

when the daylight comes down?

Oh, we're dying away.

All I can say,

when the band begins to play

there's no angel on my side.

And I will need you on my side.

Can you hear them calling me?

In the rusted dawn,

of a thousand years goes by

and we'd never asked "Why?"

Then take what you'll conceal

and breathe out through your bones.

But speak, to my ears

in the softest of tones

when you can set me down.

Oh, we're dying away.

All I can say,

when the band begins to play

there's no angel on my side.

And I will need you on my side.

Can you hear them calling me?

Here in the rusted dawn

of a thousand years goes by...

All I can say,

when the band begins to play

there's no angel on my side.

And I will need you on my side.

New Obsession.

Shwayze.

Let me take a moment to talk about this. So, if we know anything about Whitney we know that she loves men. If you know me well enough you will know that I love mainly 2 types of men.

#1 - Yummy brown men

#2 - Dirty looking, skinny, white boys

I get the best of both worlds with these guys!!

If you know what's good for you, you will watch these videos and love them;

I'm pretty sure I can't be friends with any of you unless you love them. <3

Boredom..

Today has been ridiculously unproductive. I haven't done anything... that's right... ANYTHING.

Yesterday was such a fun day... I think that's why I'm so bored today.

Yesterday I went to visit Jessica at Nordstrom. She did my make up and it looked great!!

I ended up buying some stuff from Clinique and my new Mac "Style Black" that I ordered came in.

MAC Products;

Creme Colour Base

Mineralize Eye Shadow

Dazzlegloss Creme Lip Gloss

Clinique Products;

New Powder Brush

Even Better Foundation

In Extreme Pink, NOT Red

In Clearly Pink

Creme Eyeshadow in Sparkling Nude

Other Purchases;

I literally cannot wait for these to arrive...

It smells soooo good!

Future Wants;

I just want it so badly...

So, that's all I have to say about shopping.

I'm really excited for the next month. It's really going to be amazing!

I want to go to a lot of Haunted Houses this month, as well as FrightMares @ Lagoon.

But on the 10th Jessica and I are going to... *drum rolls*

My all time favorite band The Used.

I seriously can't wait! I love them and haven't seen them live for over a year. That's ridiculous!!

Then, my cousin Jenni and I have attempted to plan a mother/daughter weekend trip. It would be me, my mom, Jenni, her mom (my Aunt Linda), my cousin Pieper and her mom (my Aunt Jo Ann). We would all go to Disneyland on October 15th and come back on the 19th. I already asked off for work and am ready to buy my ticket asap.

I'm a little frustrated because no one is really telling me if they can go or not. My Aunt Linda is going to have to wait until tomorrow to know if she can make it for sure and my cousin Pieper hasn't gotten back to me either. My Aunt Jo is trying to see if she can get out of a wedding to go.

Honestly, I'm going either way. My mom said she would go and I'm pretty sure Jenni would be down no matter what. So, I'm excited either way. Halloween is just my favorite holiday so I am excited to see Disney all decorated in Halloween stuff!!

It's going to be awesome. I won't be too excited have to work 4, 10 hours days... 2 weeks in a row. But, it will be more than worth it.

Well, I suppose it's about time that I get up and do something before it's time for me to go to bed. Haha.
