writer. singer/songwriter. techie geek. princess of random.

I love when songs come from random inspirations – one-off lines that friends say.  Zinfandel was one of those songs (“pour me another glass of that wine” – trevor) and I suppose Believe is going to get added to that list (“…as if love has logic” – jesse).

In truth, I wrote most of Believe several weeks ago around Jesse’s birthday actually.  He and I were having a random conversation about love and logic to which he mentioned the line “as if love has logic” which got me to thinking because as a self-proclaimed “intellichick” sometimes I think my logic is the biggest problem.  Emotions aren’t logical in the least (except that it is logical that people have them), but my logic is all about protocol and “yes/no” and – whether I consciously do it or not – I’m always weighing percentages.

So while I’m far from Temprance Brennan of Bones, some of these logical aspects of this song is kind of how I think.  But the thinking isn’t really the focus of the song – it’s the believing, which – for any believer of anything – often has no logic seat of which to rest your laurels on.

Here’s the YouTube.  Hope you like it!

Everything x 3

The “summer blockbuster” seems less applicable to the movies and more to electronics lately.  With the announcement (and pre-order craze) of the iPhone 4 and more information/demos/hype for the PS3 Move and Xbox Kinect coming out of E3 – you’d think that there would be some more creativity a-buzz with taglines.

Nope.

1. iPhone 4 – It changes everything. Again.
2. PS3 Move - It changes everything.
3. XBox is a little bit more creative – deciding to allude to the fact that it “changes everything” – “You are the controller.” …which I think basically says that it changes everything.

Perhaps it’s just naturally the way electronics are supposed to be innovative – the next best thing, the coolest new feature – but apparently the catchphrase is that everything not only includes all that, but is bordering on revolutionary, or maybe, evolutionary is a better word.

Maybe it’s true.  Maybe it’s not.  But bonus points to the Xbox 360 Kinect for thinking outside of the box…so to speak!
