Ooh, can I be added?

WildB · 08-15-2008, 02:08 PM

You've been added...stop by and post some too.

XtremeChiq · 08-19-2008, 10:14 AM

...things have been slow lately in lifehouse-land.
I miss those daily blogs we got last summer

WildB · 08-19-2008, 10:25 AM

Yeah Jason is a slacker.

I think we all need to complain to him.

XtremeChiq · 08-20-2008, 04:28 AM

Hahah, definitely.

Well, I'm feeling nostalgic, so I'll just post some memorable old blogs:

Quote:

Just hangin' out today enjoying the beautiful weather, nothing too exciting happening. Spent some good quality time in my studio, jamming on my wurlitzer. The wild life around here has been pretty crazy though. This morning there was a coyote that snuck into our yard, I thought this might be Beekers big chance to flex her muscles and show her fangs a bit. No such luck. She ran to her little hiding spot in the closet as usual. I feed Beeker well, she must have been three times larger than the scrawny little coyote. I feel that this might be a huge blow to her confidence. She is looking at me right now as we speak. Giving me those sad "I let you down puppy dog eyes". Ya know what, it's ok. Being a good watch dog is highly overrated. She has many more skills that overshadow not being such a great watch dog. For instance, Beeker slept for nearly fourteen hours once. What a perfect "nap buddy". If you need a good power nap, she is there; out like a light. Oh no, I just realized something. Oversleeping is a sign of depression! She's depressed and is in need of some serious attention. I know exactly what she needs. I am going to take her to the park,throw the ball and have some good bonding time.
Rick is coming over later and and we are going to do a little UFC fighting. I had some martial arts training when I was younger, but my skills are a little rusty. Rick may be a little guy, but don't let that fool you, he has very sharp elbows. I got to go work out and get ready for the showdown. Until tomorrow, when I will entertain (or bore you) again with my "random pandemonium" have a great night, and sleep well.

Grocery shopping

I've been home now for a few days, and it seems like the routine is always the same. Unpack and do laundry, get the coffee pot ready for the morning, and rig the fan to sound similar to the bus. That is the only way I can sleep these days. Then after staying home for a few days and doing nothing except.....well actually nothing. I've realized that I have devoured the last Lean Pocket, and it is time to go to the grocery store. Now it's a funny thing the grocery store, you either love it or hate it. I personally don't mind it. Depending on whether I have already eaten or not. The worst idea in the world is to shopping when you are starving! You might end up buying the whole store. Which I have been guilty for in the past. Things that you could never have imagined of eating before all of a sudden look irresistable. You end up buying way more mac and cheese than you need, half of the frozen food section is in your cart, and you notice theres a rack of lamb riding in there as well. I hate lamb! Never touch the stuff. It does not taste good to me. But for some reason the survival instinct kicks in, and I guess my body is telling me "eat the lamb or starve". I apologize to any vegetarians out there I use to be one of you for about nine months. It should make you happy to know that I put the lamb back.
Then there is the opposite. Shopping when you have just eaten a nice big lunch. For me this is where I have a problem. I get very undecisive. Choosing which avocado to purchase can take hours. Do you get cereal? Which cereal do you get? Ok Cheerios. Wait a minute there's ten different kinds of Cheerios. Moving on to bread. Did you know that there are thirteen different kinds of english muffins? Orange Juice, same thing fifteen different brands. Now finally something easy..... condiments always an easy choice I don't really care what type of ketchup it is , it's ketchup it all taste the same. Another tricky isle, chips. What kind of Sun Chips are we gonna purchase today. It may seem like an obvious choice but let me assure you, it's not. Buying harvest chedder is the easy way out. The debate is whether or not to get "original" or "garden salsa".
Ok, so I was in there for a good hour and realize...... I'm not even hungry! So I end up with an avacodo, a lean pocket and a bag of garden salsa sun chips. I need to get back out on the road and play some shows. I obviously don't have that much to do right now. One week until the circus starts back up again. Can't wait! See ya tomorrow,
Jason

Goodwill

So for many years now I have done most of my clothing shopping at vintage clothing stores. Sure around town there are plenty of trendy high end vintage stores, but I have found that sometimes the real treasures that no one knows about are at Goodwill. Plus the selection to choose from is enormous. You need a sofa, there ya go. You need a hippi lava lamp; well there ya go. You need a vintage VHS of "On Golden Pond" ( Henry Fonda was wonderful in that by the way), or a used Wilson Philips album ( disregard that one), well there ya go. There is one section, however that should be avoided at all costs..... The second hand underwear section. There is an invisible line that you don't cross with professional vintage shoppers, and buying used "undies" is one of them. Pretty much anything else goes but you don't buy used underwear.
So here is my problem. About once a year I go through my closet and donate a bunch of clothes to Goodwil ( vintage clothing needs to be a river not a swamp, keep the forward motion going to the next generation). I'm starting to clean out my sock and underwear drawer, and I think to myself "Am I committing the cardinal sin by donating used boxers". I really don't know if I'm in some way breaking my own rule. Granted a used pair of "Calvins" might be a little less harmless than a sweet pair of Hanes from the year 1973, but still rules are rules. I'm really sorry to go all "Marlon Rando" on you but I need some clarity.
You Know what I'm going to see Rick and Bryce tomorow to do a little vintage clothing shopping. I know Rick is a seasoned veterin, I think I'll ask him about this grey area. Until then, the boxers will just have to stay in a bag in the shed. Ya know I feel better now it's good to talk about it. I really am sorry to waste your time with my random chatter, but I'm bored. Two days left until we hit the road. I can't wait. Goodnight and see ya tomorow.

Jason

"Broken" Breaks Records in Philippines | News

"Broken" Breaks Records in Philippines

LIFEHOUSE's third monster single from Who We Are - BROKEN broke the record set by "Me Against The Music" by Britney Spears and Madonna in 2003 as the song with the most number of consecutive days at the top of the daily countdown heard on the show "The Daily Survey" on Manila's most awarded radio station Monster Radio RX 93.1.

"Me Against The Music" set the record in 2003 with a 17-day consecutive rule at the daily survey. They beat the record set by Five For Fighting's "Superman" in 2001 and Boyz 2 Men's "Four Seasons Of Loneliness" in 1997 both with a 14-day rule.

August 14, 2008 (GT +8) marked the 17th day for Lifehouse's Broken to tie with the record holder. The day after, August 15th marked their 18th day at the top spot breaking the record. The song still soars high as it scored its 19th day at #1 today.

They're also enjoying their FOURTH WEEK at #1 on the weekly countdown of RX 93.1- a Golden Dove award-winning radio program "Countdown Top 7".

Going back to four weeks ago, Lifehouse stormed Manila with a visit and a power concert at the Araneta Coliseum on July 26 this year. It could be the leg of their visit or it could simply be the song's just one monster of a single!

In 2001, Lifehouse held the title "SONG OF THE YEAR" for their song "Hanging By A Moment". Then in 2002, "Breathing" had a 7-week rule in the weekly countdown.

Wow! Too bad they are not that popular here.

XtremeChiq · 08-24-2008, 06:49 AM

Ugh, I been trying sooo hard to get broken played on the radio, and like, it's not happening. One of my local radio stations STILL doesn't even have the song!! I've been emailing across the country, but the song still isn't having the success it deserves.

Last I checked, its standing on the Hot AC charts was #20 with 797 airplays for the week.

XtremeChiq · 08-25-2008, 08:36 AM

Sorry to double post, but this has me so excited!!! The Broken music video was filmed yesterday, i believe.
