Saturday Songs: Someone Like You

Someone Like You
by Adele

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

I heard this song and it’s what made me really like Adele’s music. Her other singles are good but I didn’t want to check out her CDs until I heard this song. The lyrics in this song are so sweet. I have always loved Adele’s voice. She is a fabulous singer. I like that she holds strong to herself. I heard of an interview that Adele did where she told of a story that happened when she first started making music. Adele is a slightly robust woman and her producer had mentioned to her that she needs to lose some weight. Her reply was that she makes music for the ears not the eyes. I just loved that about her.

Her music videos are so simple. But I like that about them. It showcases the song not all the gliz and glamour. (The fact the Adele is from London and the video is shot in London is cool too.)

Blog Changes

I just sort of realized that I move around in the blogosphere a lot. I have three personal "website" blogs and several off-shoot blogs. I guess I like to be organized. lol. I originally left Blogger because I wanted to have a more personal look and feel to my blog. But paying for one didn't quite satisfy my want for free range on my blog. But with this new Blogger there are several features that help my blogs to be more customizable. I don't know if I'm just thinking more outside the blog, so to speak, or if there really are more features to Blogger. I have been thinking I want to link all of my blogs to this one so that this SSS blog is more central to my little blogosphere. So I started thinking about how I want to organize all that. I'm thinking about adding links to the sidebar. But I'm still thinking of how I want the overall blog to look. I'll figure it out in the next little while. I'll probably rearrange the Saturday Song page too. So a few changes are going to be made in the next few weeks, as I have time and think of it.

Saturday Song: Russian Roulette

Russian Roulette
by Rhianna

[sound of taking breath]

Take a breath, Take it deep.
"Calm yourself", He says to me
If you play, you play for keeps.
Take the gun and count to three.
I'm sweating now, Moving slow,
No time to think. My turn to go.

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So, just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself
He says "close your eyes, sometimes it helps"
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here means he's never lost

And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
Know that I must pass this test.
So, just pull my trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But its too late to think of the value of my life

And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no
Know that I must pass this test.
You can see my heart beating.
Oh, You can see it through my chest.
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no
Know that I must pass this test.

So, just pull the trigger

[sound of taking a breath]
[sound of a gun shot]

I think this song is really cool. I like the music with the lyrics. I love the music. It's so interesting to the song. And in the music video there is a part where she kind of reminds me of a Jedi. lol.

Long Day

Today I worked all day. I brought my computer so I could watch some ‘Stargate SG-1’ if I get really bored. At around 3ish I did watch an episode. I also put ‘The Lion King’ CD and ‘Aida’ CD on my computer. When I get home I need get the album information. I think I’ll watch an episode of something I’ve been missing and then go to sleep early too. I work tomorrow from 1pm to 6pm. When I got to work today I checked to see if I got my paycheck and I did. I don’t do direct deposit so my check gets mails to my house. Work was pretty slow. In the morning we did finish up stuffing envelopes for next sports tickets. I was mostly on the phones. I think I got five or six calls all day. Most of them were asking about what time the Black-Out Game starts on Oct. 29. But since this week’s game is an away game it was pretty quiet. At 5pm I was so ready to go home. Near the end I was yawning a lot. I had no doubt I’d sleep on the train ride home, which I did.

I went shopping with Lauren yesterday. We went to the dollar store and D.I. We were looking for good costume ideas and stuff. I already know what I’m doing this year for Halloween. So I was just collecting pieces for it. I have the main stuff now. There are a few minor detail things that would be fun to have but not necessary. And I don’t want to say what I’m doing until later. I’ll have a post on my costume closer to Halloween. (Probably on Halloween.)

I really need to find Satine a new heat pad soon. I’ll start looking online again once I know I have some money to buy one. I have looked in stores for one but it is impossible to find a heating pad that does not have an automatic shut-off. Since it’s getting to be winter weather I need to find her one soon.

Tomorrow some friends and I are going to a corn maze. Since I missed the ward FHE where they went to a corn maze, I’m looking forward to going to this one. We are going to Lauren’s house afterward for hot chocolate.

On Friday I need to do my laundry. I haven’t washed my clothes from the trip yet and I’m running out of things to wear. lol. I also need to wash my blankets and such. They are about due for a cleaning. So Friday will be a long laundry day not just a couple of hours. But that’s okay. I don’t have any plans to go anywhere. I just have a walk in the morning with Lauren and I might take a nap some time that day. I have a feeling I’ll be tired from working and the corn maze.

Josh Groban was on ‘The Office’ recently and I haven’t seen it yet but I’m sure he did a great job. The whole episode is on his website, via Hulu. I need to watch that sometime. Probably on Friday while I’m home. I think it’s great that Josh gets to do theatre/acting roles. That’s what Josh was going to school for before he dropped out to pursue his singing full-time. He loves both.

We have been watching ‘Person of Interest’ and I really like it. It’s a really interesting show. I love Jim Caviezel as a lead character. He hasn’t done small screen roles before this very often. There are a few odd jobs here and there but this show is his first big lead. I love it! I think Jim is a great looking guy. He’s 43 but I would not have guessed that. I thought he was in his mid-30s still. It seems like Jim has been on my actor radar for a while but he has only been acting in movies/tv since 1991. So in reality I would only know him from a few movies. I could probably name all the ones I have seen and heard of that he is in. I do remember seeing some movies, like Déjà vu, that Jim is in where I wasn’t expecting to see him. (He is awesome in that movie btw.)

P.S.

Family vacation stuff will be posted soon. So backtrack and read those when they are posted.

Well, I should say later today since it is almost 4am ... !!! When did it get so late?! I guess I should go to bed. Good thing I don't work tomorrow. lol.
