Jake's bothersome blog

Jake, your blog bugs me. I have tried to leave comments several times to no avail. I click on the submit button and it doesn't do anything. At least if it said page couldn't be displayed, that would be something. But no, it does nothing. Jake you must fix so i can leave my all enlightening comments.

I'm Awesome

So i tell awesome jokes, and unfortunately sometimes they go unappreciated. Today Jesse's best friend Crystalle was visiting with her fiance Joe. They are getting married next month so they are all talking about wedding plans and what not. So Crystalle was talking about stuff they are doing for the wedding and she mentioned that they were doing a wedding video. They talk about the logistics of the whole thing and then she said it was going to cost about 700 dollars. Cue Justin's awesome line. Jesse said, "wow," and then I said, "man that dvd better have awesome special features." Nothing. Nobody cared. No response. That remark was awesome. Get it. C'mon people that line spewed awesomeness all over the room. I'm awesome.

Happier

So I am sitting here working on my favorite songs list and I get to "Happier" by Guster. Guster is Jesse's all time favorite band. We saw them in Vegas back on '06 and they put on awesome show. They play virtually flawless live. And rather than a drummer, they have a bongo player that beats the crap out of those things. It sounds awesome and he is way freaking good. They use drums as well in a lot of songs but i couldn't leave that tidbit out. Anyway, I don't know how many of you have listened to Guster, but i thoroughly enjoy them. They are awesome and their music is fun and good all at the same time.This song is not necessarily "fun" but it sure is awesome. This song though is pure poetry. They are fantastic song writers and so i thought i would share the lyrics of this song with all of you because they are incredible. And the part with parenthesis is my favorite part. The singer is singing slowly and the parenthesis are the back up vocals and they are going fast and it sounds so awesome. Anyway, you should love these lyrics and then download the song because it's amazing. And by download i mean purchase.....legally.....from your local record shop. *wink*

"Happier" by Guster
Say goodbye
Lose your friends
Make them go
Don't need them around

Cause it's time
Lose your friends
Make them go
Was never supposed to be like this

They were too weak too prone to break
Their needs too deep their skin too thin
By now you took what was to take
Tear it apart and start again

So go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

You've wasted
Every moment
Of your saturday's
And your sunday's
You're wasted from the boredom
Was never supposed to be like this

Like your father said
Just do what was done unto you
Always
In your father's steps
You'll do what was done unto you
It won't be hard to start again

So go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

And you're gone now
(Well you've known this would come and you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(Your lost and your gone. don't take it so seriously)
Was it that hard?
(Go on and get going. I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(It got you this far. Finally got it figured out)

One more inch
You son of a *****
Been a waste of my time
Always
Now you're half awake
You bend till you break
And make the same mistakes
Always

So go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to

And you're gone now
(Well you've known this would come and you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(Your lost and your gone. don't take it so seriously)
Was it that hard?
(Go on and get going. I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(It got you this far. Finally got it figured out)

Sign #16 That You Have The Coolest Wife In The World

When you are watching a movie and a "Pixies" song starts playing and she sings along with the entire song and you didn't even introduce her to them. And the movie played almost the whole song, not just a two second clip.

Harry Potter Experiment of 2009

This girl:

is going to attempt something that this guy:deems physically impossible. Maybe he's right, maybe she will fail. But there's only one way to find out.

Sometime, in the near future, Jesse Kay Betts will attempt to read all 7 immense Harry Potter books in 24 hours. Stay tuned.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Justin and I just watched Woody Allen's new movie "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" last night. I don't know if anyone knows a lot about it or if anyone is planning on seeing it. We figured there might be a good chance some of our family would see it since it is rated PG-13 and Penelope Cruz is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.

Justin and I were not big fans of the movie itself, but that's not really what I wanted to say about it. I just wanted to warn everyone before they see it that I think it probably should have been rated R. I don't remember there being any language and there is very very little violence. However, the entire plot, and almost all the characters, represent very immoral behaviors. Adultery, bisexuality, and 3-ways are predominate themes in the plot.

I just didn't want anyone to see this movie expecting something totally different, and be disappointed, like we were.
