Things That May Never Exist - Wedding Song Edition

I know it's been done before, but here is a list of what I would pick for my first dance. Maybe not the most dance-able, but great love songs.

Deftones - Entombed
"From the day you arrive
I'll stay by your side.
Placed inside, safe and sound
Shapes of colors are all I see
Shapes of colors are all I feel"

INXS - Never Tears Us Apart
Conventional, but still a good one.

"We could live for a thousand years but if I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears"

Cure - Untitled
More of a love who has died, but just the right ambiance.

"Never quite said what I wanted to say to you
Never quite managed the words to explain to you
Never quite knew how to make them believable
And now the time has gone"

Cure - Trust

"And still the hardest part for you
To put your trust in me
I love you more than I can say
Why won't you just believe?"

Cure - Out of this World

"When we look back at it all as I know we will You and me, wide eyed I wonder... Will we really remember how it feels to be this alive"

Distillers - Beat Your Heart Out

"You make my heart beat faster.
Baby, you make my heart beat faster. I know.
Yeah I know that it’s true."

Zwan - Heartsong

Smashing Pumpkins - That's the Way My Love Is

"They'll say that nothing matters
Not even your will to survive
Of course I love you baby
'Cause I'm alive Yes, I'm alive"

Radiohead - All I Need

"I am a moth
Who just wants to share your light
I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you
Because there are no others"

Book Review

Dark Origins (Level 26, #1)Dark Origins by Anthony E. Zuiker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So to start off, the only reason I wanted to read this book is because of True Blood. The man on TB that played Marcus Bozeman (Dan Buran) played Steve Dark in the videos. This is not the typical sort of book I would pick up, but I do like twisted stories. The writing isn’t terrible like some seem to think. There are plenty of literary figures who write worse than this and I enjoyed the book, story, plot, characters. I suppose it was a bit cliché and there were major errors that one could point out, but it was enjoyable. My only gripe with the book was the videos. They weren’t necessary to the novel. Most of the videos weren’t even accurate. Example Cyber Bridge 3 with the Dark Arts agents wearing masks even though he already knows what they look like. Bridge 15, just after she was abducted and was wearing pajamas on the table and looked completely unharmed although she just came from a car wreck which required multiple surgeries and minutes before he cut her face. You don’t need to watch the videos. I will pass on the rest of the series, but I am glad to have read it, because it was entertaing.
