General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Heroes and Thieves DVD?

« on: December 22, 2008, 08:44:57 am »

Yeah, I have been wondering the same about the DVD. A couple of people, myself included, gave interviews for the DVD, so I want to see it!

What did they ask you, and what did you say?

(sorry for the long delay)
They just asked me stuff like how long I've been a fan, my favorite moment of the night, etc... I don't remember a lot of it. I kind of wonder if it was a scam. They made me sign this form with my ss number and phone number for me to give them permission to use my clip, but good thing that I was way too dazed to remember any numbers at the time, so I just wrote down random things. Seriously, I was so shaken by the performance and everything that I'm fairly sure I wasn't speaking coherent English at the time, and they probably wouldn't have used it anyway.

Live Shows / 7/9/08 - "Notes From The Road" Taping, Des Moines,

« on: July 11, 2008, 10:17:18 pm »

I was seriously bummed that I couldn't go .
I live about 4ish hours away from Des Moines. I would have gone (with lots of begging for a ride), except I had to work that day, and I couldn't get it off..

I'm also seriously annoyed at the radio station she was at (was it STAR97?). I emailed them in April asking for information, and they never answered me. I emailed multiple people. I only knew the name from her myspace and everything...  And yeah, no response. So my only warning was her myspace bulletin and that wasn't enough time for me to get work off...



Anyway, I'm super excited she's been hanging around the midwest so much. The midwest doesn't get much love, so that's exciting.
Wish I could have been there

Is she the main person, or is Joshua Radin the main person, and she is just opening?
I live like four hours away, and I don't really want to go if she is just opening.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Question: how much would you pay?

« on: February 24, 2008, 10:45:46 am »

$15, because the cd is worth $10.
I'm not into autographs, especially if I wasn't there to get it... it doesn't mean anything to me.
Put it on ebay if you are looking to sell it and see what you get.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Hands On Me Video (discussion)

« on: February 24, 2008, 10:43:57 am »

I'm not a huge fan of the beginning of the video... I do like how she is portrayed as thinking about being outside.

I REALLY like the ending! I think that was such a great idea. I think it's classy, I don't think it's inappropriate as some comments say on youtube... All she does is take off her skirt, and she is still fairly clothed.... especially compared to most videos. I'm in the opinion that if you are too immature to be watching it.. then don't. Have your parents go put in a Disney movie for you. If that is too inappropriate for someone, then why are they on youtube when there is a LOT in inappropriate stuff there...

And yes, way too much homophobia on youtube...

Agreed, it should be moved.

Completely Off-Topic / Retro Candy Gift Boxes on Amazon from different decades lol

Yeah, you can still buy most of that candy still today, so it wouldn't be worth it. Go back a few decades.

Ewwwww Macs...
The music department has exclusively macs at my college... Mainly because they only make some software we need for macs (or that's what they tell us.)
I freaking hate them.

It's the same deal with ipods. I'm against ipods because you are paying for the namebrand... I bought a creative mp3 player two years and and it still works. Ipods.... not (usually) so much. I am just against buying the name brand. It's the same with Nike (although they also have child labor problems so that's another reason).

Polls / What is your favorite saying from H&T

My favorite is the third, but I think the one with the most meaning is the last, so I voted for that one.

Polls / Do you think creationism should be banned in schools?

« on: January 14, 2008, 09:41:26 pm »

I don't believe the Bible to be totally faulty. I loosely believe in the New Testament. I guess the boils down to my lack of faith in organized religion. Most men have motives, whether good or bad, therefor all men who altered the bible have left their imprint on it somehow.
This actually reminds me of a paper I wrote for my philosophy class that was trying to prove or disprove God's existence. I wrote a couple of proofs about what I don't believe fully in the Bible, or in organized religion.
I view the Bible as a general guideline full of inspirational stories and wisdom from Jesus. I think it's trouble if you look too much further than that.

Anyway, I must thank you for your patience. I guess most people I discuss creationism with are far too scared to be challenged. I find it always healthy to discuss and understand the other side, because without that knowledge, you really have not made a choice, now have you!

Also, do you go to a Christian school? Just wondering.

Polls / Do you think creationism should be banned in schools?

« on: January 13, 2008, 06:08:32 pm »

I regard the creation story as just a story. It was an attempt of early man to explain how people came to be, and why. All of the early religions/cultures have one. There are also various other stories that explain things that happen in nature. I respect the creation story, because people back then when it was made up, didn't have science or anything to explain what happened.
I think it was acceptable for them to believe it now, but now that we have science telling us something different, with a lot more data to swing that way, why keep believing in these stories?

I can't stand it when people use the Bible as proof of creationism. What horrible, circular logic that is (God wrote the Bible, the Bible proves God exists/creationism is real). The Bible, is at best, inspired by God. Even if it was directly inspired by God, the Bible is not 100% as it was thousands of years ago, and anyone who does believe that is very mistaken and needs to do a history lesson. The Bible has been cut, edited, and added to many, many times.

Anyway, all in all, no one knows 100% about either way. I wouldn't recommend anyone to pretend that they do. However, evidence highly supports evolution, and not creationism. Although evolution may be faulty, creationism is much, much more faulty.

Polls / Democrat Voters

« on: January 08, 2008, 09:16:07 pm »

...Where's Obama?

I like Clinton for the healthcare stuff, but I for some reason really like Obama. I need to focus in on why I like him before I vote for him. I'm reading his second book at the moment too, so that's interesting.

But anyway, I'm still thinking of voting republican for this election, even though I'm a dem. I'm from Illinois, and I'd be surprised if Obama didn't take it (never know though), but anyway I think it may be more important to vote for a good republican. In my opinion, Clinton and Obama are both good, but I'm worried which way the republican party will swing.
