Not All Girls Like Pink

I watched the perfect movie to kickstart the new year. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty . The soundtrack for it felt like it was right out of my college playlist with songs by Jose Gonzales, Jack Johnson, Rogue Wave... well my playlist hasn't strayed very far but gosh, I was one excited cinema-goer. I just soooo connected with Walter Mitty's character in a way. Well sorta. I zone out. A lot. My daydreams don't happen like Walter's do but they kinda revolve around the coulda woulda shoulda scenario. Things I should have said. Things I could have done. Things I would do. should I? Could I? Thinking bout all these at once brought such a heavy feeling as I retreated on new years and this led to writing my first post of this year. I've been blogging since 2004 and boy has it been marvelous to look back and see how much I've grown. In thoughts and words and deeds. As I welcome in 2014, I think about words. Well I always think about words. But I was thinki...

OWh what a birthday gift! New Switchfoot video! RESTLESS I am the sea on a moonless night Calling falling, slipping tides I am the leaky, dripping pipes The endless, aching drops of light I am the raindrop falling down Always longing for the deeper ground I am the broken, breaking seas Even my blood finds ways to bleed Even the rivers ways to run  Even the rain to reach the sun Even my thirsty streams  Even in my dreams I am restless, restless, restless Looking for you I am restless I run like the ocean to find your shore Looking for you I am the thorn stuck in your side I am the one that you left behind I am the dried-up doubting eyes Looking for the well that won't run dry Running hard for the other side The world that I've always been denied Running hard for the infinite With the tears of saints and hypocrites Oh, blood of black and white and grey Oh, death in life and night in day One by one by one We let our rivers run I can hear you breathing I can feel you leading ...

ok i'm not really over the concert yet. hehe. But here's my article that's up on Yes World:  Switchfoot raises a storm in KL UPDATE: I've reproduced the article here cause it's been taken off the site   Switchfoot raises a  storm in KL San Diego-based rock band Switchfoot returned to Malaysia on May 1st as part of their 2011 Asian tour of their latest album, "Hello Hurricane". The guys were last in Malaysia in 2008 in what was described as 'one of the best live shows in Malaysia!'   Armed with the knowledge of Things not to do at a Switchfoot concert   we were geared to have the best night of our lives despite the storm brewing in the heart of KL.   Opening for Switchfoot was upcoming Malaysian band Bus Company which stood their own and got the crowd charged up for the main act.   Switchfoot – comprising Jon Foreman (vocals/guitar), Tim Foreman (bass), Chad Butler (drums), Jerome Fontamillas (keys/guitar) and Drew Shirley (guitar...

Awesome video Michelle managed to take at the KL leg of the Switchfoot Asian tour. This is one of my all-time favourites!

succinct song titles make up a poem of sorts. We dared to move and learned to breathe and then there was Only Hope no longer 24 not Incomplete we looked at the Stars Turning everything over, cause living is simple I'm more than fine, you're not the mess of me The shadow proves the sunshine The Sound of the fatal wound The Setting Sun, owh what a Beautiful Letdown you're Home we are one tonight, so long and Goodnight Punk. * can't ever go wrong with Switchfoot. :D

Okok I know they're not new and 'undiscovered' or 'unheard' of but they're COMING TO MALAYSIA so this warrants a post for this week. :D Well Switchfoot hails from San Diego and consists of Jerome Fontamillas, Chad Butler, Drew Shirley, Jon Foreman and Tim Foreman. Did you know that the name "Switchfoot" is a surfing term? According to Jon Foreman, to switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music. That sorta reminds me of my church - 180° . Making a change - moving away from the norm and being absolutely different, radical and turning lives around! It's just amazing to be part of something that's life-changing! A little update on Wiki is that they are working on their a studio project called Vice Verses. According to Butler, the core of the record will rest thematically in the idea of the polarity of life.
