Best of Friends

When you’re the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You’re not even aware, you’re such a funny pair
You’re the best of friends

Life’s a happy game
You could clown around forever
Neither one of you sees, your natural boundaries
Life’s one happy game

If only the world wouldn’t get in the way
If only people would just let you play
They say you’re both being fools
You’re breaking all the rules
They can’t understand, the magic of your wonderland
Hu-hu-hu

When you’re the best of friends
Sharing all that you discover
When that moment has past, will that friendship last?
Who can say? There’s a way!
Oh I hope… I hope it never ends
‘Cause you’re the best of friends

- The Fox and the Hound

I watched this movie over Thanksgiving break. What childhood memories! It was one of my favorites and it totally has held up, at least for me; I think little kids now would probably be bored with the pace. Oh, and in order to watch it I had to remember how to work the VHS player. Surprised that hunk of junk still functions!

Why Should I Worry?

One minute I’m in Central Park
Then I’m down on Delancey Street
From the Bow’ry to St Marks
There’s a syncopated beat

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I’m streetwise
I can improvise
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I’m streetsmart
I’ve got New York City heart

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It’s just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire

The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Then you can own this town
You can wear the crown

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It’s just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire

Ev’rything goes
Ev’rything fits
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
And even when I cross that line
I got street savoire faire

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

- Billy Joel as the super cool dog, Dodger

I totally plan on watching Oliver and Company when I’m home this week. Such a good Disney movie and it takes place in the city, what could be better?

You know you go to UVM when…

When no one seems phased by the new graffiti over at Cook dining hall that says “Leaky Cauldron”.

Loud Music=Love

I’m sure everyone has that list of songs that are just so amazing that they have to be listened to really, really, obnoxiously loud. Well, obnoxious to anyone who does not want to listen to loud music or who doesn’t share the same taste in music you do. I, of course, have a list, and I’d like to share the YouTube links with you. Just make sure your speakers on really loud!

System of a Down- Chop Suey

Green Day- 2000 Light Years Away

Yes, that’s from the concert that I was at (hence why I picked it). No, I did not record that.

Sum 41- The Hell Song

Linkin Park- Given Up

System of a Down- Radio/Video

Green Day- St. Jimmy

In the future I might pick some other songs worthy of being played really loud. I have quite a few favorites!

Half Past Forever

Right now I think I’ll pay attention to everybody else but me
For once I’m here and I feel so awkward; I cannot let this be
Today is said and done, tomorrow’s just begun,
And now I’ve taken a life forsaken and turned it into one
So set me up for the worst, there’s nothing left here that hurts
Could I be wrong and I will move on if you rid me of this curse
I’ve given all I can, and if what I know won’t stand,
Then please help me out ’cause I’ve got a feeling the answer’s in my hand

And I don’t even know why, this life seems to pass me by
With every waking day brings another one in, but not to stay

So I’m taking the part of me that stands in your way
And saying goodbye to the yesterday
Now we’re taking the part of us that feels like it’s half past forever,
And this time it’s now or never

So by now you think I’d learn my lesson from watching everyone but me
This empty feeling made up of meaning means something more than the dream
So every now and then, in this recycle bin,
The things you thought were a grave departure have come to life again
But it’s always wearing thin and it’s making my head spin
So I’ll cut my losses short ’cause I guess I’ll never win
If this isn’t meant to be then what more can I foresee;
A change for now, but I think forever has come to set me free

- Better Luck Next Time

You know you go to UVM when…

When you’ve come to accept that the campus will always be a constant state of construction. Well, almost come to accept it…

March On

Don’t cry
Open up your eyes and know
There’s someone else out there that feels this way

I’m singing to you
Cause I know what you’ve been through and now
It’s not so long ago I felt the same

Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on

I remember summer nights alone
Fireflies the only thing we own
All we ever dreams of California
I remember winters were so cold
Hunger was the only thing we know
And rock n’ roll dreamin’ was what saved us

Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on

Till we see the sun
Till we see the sun

Through the good times,
Through the bad times
Through the long days
Through the hard nights
Keep on till we see the sun

Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on

Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on

Even when there’s no one there for you march on
Even when the days are long for you march on
Like soldiers
March on

- Good Charlotte

You know you go to UVM when…

If you’ve ever heard a native Vermonter say “if you don’t like the weather wait five minutes and it’ll change” and know it to be true. For example: Yesterday I got snowed on twice between classes, but I also got rained on and walked in perfectly sunny weather that almost made me want my sunglasses.

Quote of the Week: NCIS

“Do you know what a ‘clog’ is?”

“A wooden shoe or a blocked drain?”

“No, like on the internet.”

“I thought that was a ‘blog’, but then my English is often wrong.”

- Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Ziva David

This week’s quote is thanks to NCIS and the writer’s ability to come up with some really great scenes between the characters. I have more to say about NCIS, particularly about Gibbs’ latest actions, but that is a post for another ‘clog’.

Calling You

There’s something that I can’t quite explain
I’m so in love with you
You’ll never take that away
And if I’ve said it a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You’ll never take that away

Well expect me to be
Calling you to see
If you’re okay when I’m not around
Asking “Do you love me?”
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile

I will keep calling you to see
If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming
If you’re dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can’t believe you actually picked me

I thought that the world had lost it’s way
(It’s so hard sometimes)
Then I fell in love with you
(Then came you)
(Then came you)
And you took that away
(It’s not so difficult,
The world is not so difficult)
You take away the old
Show me the new
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I’m on this phone
A hundred miles from home
I’ll take the words you gave and send them back to you

I only want to see
If you’re okay when I’m not around
Asking “Do you love me?”
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile

I will keep calling you to see
If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming
If you’re dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can’t believe you actually picked me

Well I will keep calling you to see
If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming
If you’re dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can’t believe you actually picked me

I will keep calling you to see
If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming
If you’re dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can’t believe you actually picked me
