Good Charlotte. Too good to be true.

We know Good Charlotte ain't the best role models for our kids with their tattoos and eye liner but they are capable of writing some spiritually influenced songs; all thanks to their lead singer, Joel Madden being brought up in a Christian home. I really liked the song from their previous album, "We believe" which talks about a love that falls down like rain and whose forgiveness washes away our pain. The other day I was flipping through channels and MTV was showing their recent concert held in Malaysia. The lead singer siad something from the Bible which caught my attention just when I was about to change the channel again. Lets just say I'm not really into Good Charlotte. They sang "The River" after Joel's "preaching". Haha. Anyway here's the lyrics to "The River" and you can see for yourself how spiritual it is. It delights me to know that beneath the worldly music industry, God is still working down there.

As I walk through the valley
of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
have gone their separate ways
I've seen enough now
to know that beautiful things
don't always stay that way
I've done enough now
to know this beautiful place
isn't everything they say
.
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
.
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
.
[M.Shadows:]

You're from a small town
You're gonna grow up fast underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood
on the boulevard the dead come back to life
To the praying Mother
And the worried Father
Let your children go
If they come back
They'll come home stronger
And if they don't you'll know
.
They say that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
.
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
.
Baptized in the river (on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered(on my own, on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered!

Bring it on Utah

Spurs are through to the Western Conference Finals! What a game it was against the Suns in Game 6. Ginobili is the best thing to come out from Argentina since Maradona. That's a possible playoffs MVP there. Duncan was awesome, a career high 9 blocks! The Spurs may not have the athletism like Phoenix but they certainly can defend. Gotta give credit to Nash for the late comeback and Stoudamire for flying in all sort of angles though. It was a very tight and dramatic series.

Here's how I picture the Spurs at the end of the NBA season. Oh and Meng Yoe, you can eat your own socks. =p

Go Spurs Go

Why didn't Robert Horry commit a flagrant-er foul on Nash? Sigh. Should have done it on Amare to shut him up too. Sorry Meng Yoe.

Spurs for the championship.

Ice cold

"Okay Joel, lets do this. You can't chicken out in front of her and you certainly want to get your money's worth". So there I go stepping out on the cold. She smiled, obviously enjoying herself. I forced a smile to tell her I'm alright. It wasn't alright. I knew if I let go I'll end up sore at my rear.

I clung to the walls the whole time, slowly working out the works of it. My feet were stucked to the the ground, the boots were heavy and my ankles felt numb. Small fries were whizzing past me like penguins. Wait. Penguins don't whiz. She held my hand and gave me tips. The tips didn't worked but her hand encouraged me. She said I wasn't adventurous. Damn right. That's why I need you to make my life interesting like this.

.

I gave up after a few laps and let my feet dry. I watched her the whole time and looked away each time she drew near. She looked so beautiful. An overly concerned mom was nearby watching her daughter run throught her practice. Why do mothers expect so much from their daughters sometimes? She motioned for me to check if its time to go. I waved her on to continue. It was easier to just stare at her than think about homework the next day.

Do you know what petite really means?

Small coupled with loads of cuteness.
