I was inspired by the guys at Epic Meal to make a bacon weave. Not sure if’ you’ve watched their show but they go through mounds of bacon. I used to take pride in the amount of bacon I could eat in a seating but after seeing a few of their shows I don’t even come close.

Back to the weave. A bacon weave is bacon that is woven like a mat…kind of like the paper mats you used to make back in grade school.

This round I used hand cut bacon from a butcher because I found a great deal. I recommend using the thin cut store bought brand. Here are some pics.

Someone Like You by Adele

I heard that you’re settled down.
That you found a girl and you’re married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you.

Old friend why are you so shy?
It ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the lie.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it.
I’d hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me it isn’t over.

Nevermind I’ll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don’t forget me I beg I remember you said:
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead yeah.

You’d know how the time flies.
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away I couldn’t fight it.
I’d hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me it isn’t over yet.

Nevermind I’ll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don’t forget me I beg I remember you said:
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead yeah.

Nothing compares no worries or cares.
Regret’s and mistakes they’re memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind I’ll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don’t forget me I beg I remembered you said:
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Nevermind I’ll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don’t forget me I beg I remembered you said:
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead yay yeh yeah.

Everything Green (lyrics)

You gave me the first love
That I ever knew
And I folded open
Like wings on a warm day

No one ever tamed you
You made your own rules
When you ran beside me
Your freedom was mine too

I wish you everything peaceful and everything green
Growing lazy and tangled in your long hair
Everything joyful and everything blue
Water crashing around your waist laughing
When I give to you
Everything peaceful and everything green

When they tried to cage you
You ran even more wild
Dark tide water splashing
Bright snow at the tree line
I saw the aurora
Reflect in your eye
And fear melted in me
Like streams in the spring time

I wish you everything peaceful and everything green
Growing lazy and tangled in your long hair
Everything joyful and everything blue
Water crashing round your waist laughing
When I give to you
Everything peaceful and everything green

Everything peaceful and everything green
I want to bring you all the numberless summers and sunrises
I want sing you all the songs I heard from you
Stories I learned from you
Everything left in the world I can give back to you

You gave me the first love
That I ever knew
And I folded open
Like wings on a warm day

I wish you everything peaceful and everything green
Growing lazy and tangled in your long hair
Everything joyful and everything blue
Water crashing around your waist laughing

I wish you everything peaceful and everything green
Growing lazy and tangled in your long hair
Everything joyful and everything blue
Water crashing around your waist laughing

When I give to you
I’ll give to you
Everything peaceful and everything green

I’m prepping for NSSN (Not So Silent Night). My Chemical Romance is one of the highlighted bands next to Smashing Pumpkins. I might be getting old but I think the Smashing Pumpkins should try a new style of music.

I’ll admit I was not a fan of My Chemical Romance when they first started. It took two whole albums until I started paying attention: “The Black Parade”.

Not So Silent night is coming up on December 12, 2010 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose.

See you there!

Just saw Gwyneth Paltrow on CMA Awards. Her performance was amazing and it totally beats Cruisin’ with Huey Lewis. You can see a hint of nervousness but around midway she starts having fun with it. However, is her guitar even plugged in? It’s understandable if it’s not because her voice rocks!

Country Strong Lyrics:

I know you see me
Like some wide eyed dreamer
That just rolled in off a dusty mid west bus
Yeah, on the outside I look fragile
But on the inside is something you can’t crush

Cause I’m country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on
You may fool me
And I’ll fall
But I won’t stay down long
Cause I’m country strong

I have weathered
Colder winters; Longer summers
Without a drop of rain
Push me in a corner
And I’ll come out fighting
I may lose but I ‘ll always keep my faith

Cause I’m country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on
You may fool me
And I’ll fall
But I won’t stay down long
Cause I’m country strong

Cause I’m country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on
You may fool me
And I’ll fall
But I won’t stay down long
Cause I’m country strong

I’m country strong
Yeah, I’m country strong
I’m country strong
I’m country strong
I’m country strong

Props to Waikiki! There’s something to the lyrics but I think I’m just a little more excited knowing he’s Filipino/Puerto Rican. I guess it doesn’t hurt to have Nathalie Kelley in the video. It makes me smile knowing that he uses a “breakdown” in organizing the song. You’re smiling too if you know what I’m talking about or have been in the entertainment business as long as he has.

Intro
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Ahh

Verse 1
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shining Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying She’s so beautiful, and I tell her everyday Yea, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won’t believe me And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she don’t see what I see But every time she asks me, do I look okay, I say

Chorus
When I see your face, there is not a thing that I would change Cause you’re amazing, just the way you are And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile Cause girl you’re amazing, just the way you are, hey

Verse 2
Her lips, her lips I could kiss them all day if she’d let me Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it’s so sexy She’s so beautiful, and I tell her everyday Oh, you know, you know, you know I’d never ask you to change If perfect’s what you’re searching for then just stay the same So don’t even bother asking if you look okay, you know I’ll say

Chorus
When I see your face, there is not a thing that I would change Cause you’re amazing, just the way you are And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile Cause girl you’re amazing, just the way you are

Breakdown
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you’re amazing, just the way you are When I see your face there’s not a thing I would change Cause you’re amazing just the way you are And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile Cause girl you’re amazing, just the way you are, yea

You have to love Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake especially if they are costarring in the same movie! I just saw the trailer for “Friends With Benefits” and it looks like a fun movie. The movie comes out on July 22, 2011 and I think I’ll add it to my summer movie list.

The synopsis for the movie so far is: The relationship between two friends gets complicated when they decide to get romantic. Hooray for romantic comedies! Directed by Will Gluck who produced Easy A, the movie seems to have a lot of sex scenes and interesting dialogues.

Here’s my favorite line so far, is when Justin Timberlake’s character, Dylan, says, “Let me sing some Third Eye Blind” and then he continues to sing “Closing Time.” Not Third Eye Blind! Semisonic!

I can’t wait.

I’m having one of those days…

Tripping out
Spinning around
I’m underground, I fell down
I fell down

I’m freaking out
So where am I now?
Upside down
And I can’t stop it now
It can’t stop me now

I, I’ll get by
I, I’ll survive
When the world’s crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don’t you try to stop it?
I, I won’t cry

I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet again
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I’ll take a stand until the end

I, I’ll get by
I, I’ll survive
When the world’s crashing down
When I’m falling hit the ground
I’ll just turn myself around
Don’t you try to stop me
I won’t cry
I, I’ll get by
I, I’ll survive
When the world’s crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don’t you try to stop me
I, I won’t cry

Go Giants!
