The Killers – When You Were Young
A song about temptation and waiting for the perfect man. The new single for the yet released The Killers sophmore album. I’m looking forward to this, it will be hard to beat their first, but if the whole thing is anything like this single, it should be a good album.
~david maciasYou sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now – here he comes
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
Can we climb this mountain
I don’t know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let’s take it easy
Easy now, watch it go
We’re burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live
When you were young
They say the devil’s water, it ain’t so sweet
You don’t have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now here he comes
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
When you were young
I said he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But more than you’ll ever know
Movie Watching
So, following the ever popular “Music you should be listening to…” here are two movies which aren’t getting a lot of screen time.
1. Little Miss Sunshine. This movie is fantastic. Well worth the price of admission anywhere. It is a story about how messed up a family can be, but blood is blood. You can’t change that. This movie both made me laugh and made me sad, but at the end of the day it leaves you with a great feeling.
2. Idiocracy. This movie was released yesterday (09/01/2006) it is written by Mike Judge. The same Mike Judge who brought you Office Space, Beavis and Butthead, and King of the Hill. This movie is alright, it’s a story that takes place 500 years in the future where the world has become to stupid that they can not think or solve any of their problems. I would not pay full price for this, but I would pay the early bird price. The movie has its funny moments and Michael Bolton (from Office Space) is in it. That alone should be worth the five bucks.

The Scream is Recovered
You might remember this story I posted on August of 2004. The story talks about Edvard Munch’s The Scream with was stollen for the second time and is one of my favorite works of art.
So, today forbes magazine has an article on how it was recovered. Happy day, it only took two years and it seems that the pieces are in good shape. I always thought this was going to end up like something out of the Thomas Crown Affair.
Congrats!
