Coldfire

Has anyone read the book "coldfire" by Dean Koontz? Such an awesome book. I love how he always finds a way to give his novels meaning, or at least convey the beauty of life, even within a novel about someone who has a murderistic mage-like dark side. "The Taking" similarly has the same message, with a completely different storyline. I'd begin to describe what happens, but that would just ruin the book.

Just registered for courses. Six to be exact. I'ts gonna be a busy semester. But I get from now until January 26th to relax so its not that bad, plus this whole last six months. I guess thats a pretty good deal. I also found out that I will be able to subsitute teach by the summer, which should be interesting.. I mean whoever thinks the road to becoming a pyschologist involves telling fourth graders what to do :)

top 15 songs I listen to almost non stop

Lifehouse - Everything
Something about the non discreet point the lyrics weave around. Whoever the writer intended these lyrics for, the person literally was everything to them. Plus the melody is soothing.

Jimmy Eat World - Disintegration
Off of the new EP, again, amazing lyrics. If you want it sent, you know my SN so just ask :P

Right where it belongs - NiN
One of those "makes you wonder" songs. I'd describe it more, but youd only really appreciate it by listening

Book of love - Peter Gabriel
Almost the exact opposite reason why I like this one as opposed to "everything". Again, has to be listened to to be appreciated

Building a Mystery,Silence (Delerium),I'll take your breathe away - Sarah Mclaughlin
Yes I like a girl singing to me sometimes. sue me :P She has awesome lyrics, and the song Silence (Delerium)has such a unique sound. (plus I watched a fanmade video of FF8 to it which rocked)

The way I am - Eminem
Because sometimes its nice to tell someone to shut the F*** up when they accuse who you are and what you stand for. It seems like the more unique of a person you become, the more you are challenged by those who seem to enjoy accusing you of being unoriginal or alteriorly motived.

Best of you - Foo Fighters


What Sarah Said - Death Cab for Cutie
Now, I could go off about this album being in my car cd player for a good month non stop, but this song definitely stands out on it. has probably one of the more unique descriptions of love "Love is watching someone die. So whose gonna watch you die?"

Funeral for a Friend - Janeau
Thanks to john for introducing this band to me. Just love the song. No particular reason.

Monchetti - Further Seems Forever
Same as above.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green day
Has a loneliness mantra that I just connect to.

Mixed Tape - Jack's Mannequin
Listened to this song shortly after I found out the lead singer (same from something corporate) had leukemia. amazing song. the whole album is just amazing.


thats it for now. (note, the list went from top 5 to top 10 to top 15, god I cant decide :P )

Skimmed...I should read fully but I dunno...I love Dean Koontz...remind me of Coldfire...I might have read that one. I'm in the process of reading The Key To Midnight, but I think my faves so far are: Lightning...and crap, I can't remember the others...I'll find out and let you know...

As for your list of songs, kickass, oh and that Bush song, I do have, I do like, but I dunno that I would personally put it on repeat, but it's still good.

Coldfire was about a man, who could sense when danger was going to happen to certain people, and was able to save them. A reporter gets interested in his story, and gets curious because he seems to always be in the right place at the right time. And then of course he has a dark secret that I refuse to reveal :P

The bush song on repeat is good for sleeping. Same with Gary Jules - Mad World. (song from donnie darko)
