I didn't think my life could get much better/crazier until college started.

We are the Fourth Estate.

johndawson — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 21:44:15 -0500

“When we acknowledge the mystery of value in every human life, and witness to such, we thrive, and succeed, and protect one another. We choose to stand up for that belief. We will fight for it, expand our talent and exhaust our bodies in its pursuit, and define a generation of human belonging.”

We are the Fourth Estate.

Directing over 600 activists to do choreography & form massive shapes with their collective body as a whole? No big deal… if you’re Jason Russell.

Court is now in session, or so it seems, & the lesson’s Inception: you’re in my dreams. White tee, torn seams, sleeping through sunbeams for one more minute. I wanna stay in it.

You’re on my summer reading list. Hard to get & harder missed. The answers are somewhere at the end & the manual’s on backorder. Never known for taking chances. I just collect ‘em. I’m a hoarder. We’re all written in the same code, but adventure’s added in variation. Got a moon-sized heart that’s built for two, & you can bet it’s no space station.

(I almost forgot about this. Posting here so I don’t.)

Found this rad little pin on campus at CBU yesterday.

Fingers crossed it’ll give me The Force or a cool steamboat.

A Heart, A Head (in progress)

johndawson — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 08:21:42 -0500

Doctor, please find a cure for this. It seems that I’ve become lovesick. Thoughts of her, they run through my head like the life through my veins, thick & red.
And brick on brick, wall by wall, my barrier is never tall enough to keep her from causing me to fall.
And in she comes. Wall to wall, the only thing heard is her call, the one to make me give to her my all.

Please, don’t take her from my head. For if her memory is gone, then hope for me is surely dead.

Pete Wentz (@petewentz) quote about true love from Memphis In May 2009.

johndawson — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:17:44 -0500

“It says ‘Love is like heaven.’ It’s more like when you’re alone, & you’re sweating it out in your bedroom by yourself, & you think about your true love & how true love will go to Hell with you, realize how hot it is, take off all your clothes, & have a fucking dance party.”

MUSIC MONDAY New Artist To Watch: Cameron Mitchell

johndawson — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 20:09:53 -0500

If this guy doesn’t win The Glee Project and get a 7-episode (and possibly more) arc on the show, then I don’t know who will. He’s got this rad awkward white guy soul and can’t dance in the absolute best of ways. Also, he’s been working on music before the competition and even released his Love Can Wait EP on iTunes. You can watch the videos below and check him out at http://www.youtube.com/cameronmitchellmusic and http://www.reverbnation.com/cameronmitchell.

Listen Up: I like music. You like music. Let's share.

johndawson — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 16:45:12 -0500

“You Make Me Feel…” - Cobra Starship feat. Sabi
“Summer Nights” - Black Cards feat. Shaggy

“Always” - Panic! At The Disco
“Guinness Flow” - Chiddy Bang
“I Can’t Stop (Freestyle)” - Chiddy Bang

Finally picked up a physical copy of Sigh No More. It's been a fantastic day.

Bought myself a funny, floppy hat today. Rad.

déjà view

johndawson — Mon, 16 May 2011 17:48:45 -0500

It’s a strange feeling to, only a week before your high school graduation, go back to your middle school and perform with your high school choir, then see the stage you first performed on seven years ago. The red curtains looked way better.

I haven't updated here in what seems like forever.

johndawson — Wed, 11 May 2011 01:09:17 -0500

As if it’s some kind of excuse, I’ve been all kinds of busy since late April, but I’ve got a ton to talk about: stuff I’ve been writing, our very successful Make-A-Wish charity a school, and (my personal favorite) the amazing experience I had working with Invisible Children’s Southeast Team to host a screening of TONY here in Covington. Huge updates on all of that when I get more time, pinkie promise.
