Billy Mays, RIP

Here's a video clip of Billy Mays & Anthony Sullivan on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien just last week.



I had been watching the show Pitchmen on the Discovery Channel the last few months and it was interesting to see all the behind the scenes of the commercials and infomercials Billy and Sully have done, how they work together, etc. It's a shame he died at only 50!

Love him or hate him, you and your loud booming voice will be missed!

RIP Billy Mays!

"New Divide" by Linkin Park

"I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me.
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard...
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
to prove me wrong
to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
the distance in your eyes

Give me reason
to fill this hole
connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight
but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
to prove me wrong
to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss
in every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret
and each goodbye
was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
to prove me wrong
to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason
to fill this hole
connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

Across this new divide."

It's been awhile since I've heard a Linkin Park song that I could really relate to. I fell in love with Hybrid Theory back in early high school... I've come to appreciate and enjoy some of the Reanimation and Jay-Z remixes... Meteora was alright for a sophomore album - a few of the songs were really good. Minutes to Midnight... there were a few songs I liked musically and had a catchy chorus, but overall I didn't really seem to identify with it much.

I *really* like this song though, especially the first half of the chorus as it says exactly how I've been feeling lately and what I've been struggling with.

Way to go LP - you made me feel better about still having the online moniker of LPchick.

Josh found this and showed it to me - pretty funny!
