"Washed by the Water"

I'm a big fan of Caleb and Sol. This is a good indication of why...

I realized a fear of mine this past week...

For a promo video for our church's high school group [in which I am a leader], we did a parody of the hilarious old spice commercials with the muscle man riding the horse... Our brilliant idea was to actually go a stable and film an actual horse to give that amazing effect. To my surprise... i am deathly afraid of horses. They are huge and unpredictable, and that scares me.

My two [apparently] memorable quotes concerning these little mini dinosaurs:

Number 1: "So, are horses like dogs? Like if I run away will they think we're playing a game and run after me?"

Number 2: "Do horses smell fear?"

It may seem funny that these were actual inquiries of mine... but I was serious. I didn't want any surprises. Now looking back, it is kind of comical... but at the time.. NOT funny.

All in all we made an AWESOME video, and the horse part looked great.

But I wont be doing that again.

"In period of rapid personal change we pass through life as if we are spellcast. We speak in sentences that end before finishing. We sleep heavily because we need to ask so many questions as we dream alone. We bump into others and feel bashful at recognizing souls so similar to ourselves."

aka the BA lead vocalist of the band "Paramore"

Totally unlike any other video Paramore has done. I'm so in love with the imagery and cinematography.

And the music itself. Love love love.

Why is it so hard for us to bury our castles? Our princess tendencies brought from our childhood?

"Go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole..

And we'll bury the castle..."

I'm not a princess anymore. time to grow up.
