~ Viva La Vida ~




Chosen by Tina~in_ut

Every time I hear this song on the radio, my hand automatically reaches to turn up the volume. I drive down the freeway dancing, singing and music blaring. When I saw Coldplay on Saturday Night Live, I was enthralled with the energy the band had. I found this video and related to the enthusiasm of the crowd. I can't keep still either. There are many theories as to the meaning of the lyrics, but it doesn't really matter to me what the song is about. I just love how it makes me feel.....happy. And it doesn't hurt that they won 3 Grammy's last week. Enjoy~

Maureen said...

TINA...I heard this for the first time on the Grammy's and I loved it. I also saw the singer on some show in an interview and he is so very cool!

Maureen said...

Lois Lane said...

I love that song too!

Congratulations Maureen #1-5 hooter!!

Zona said...

Good Morning!

TINA: I saw this video on MTV when it premiered..and I have loved the song eversince. I've heard theories that it has religious undertones...but you're right..who cares?? It's an awesome song. Thanks for posting it today.

MO: Congrats on FIRST! Enjoy your day off!

Zona said...

G'morning LL/NN..I've been reading your blog. Unbelievable. I'm so glad your son wasn't hurt.

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Tina I agree the song is one that just catches you and the energy comes through. They look so happy playing and it resonates through the music.

Congrats on 1st MO! Good Morning Zona and Lois L.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Maureen I have your 1st recorded. You have a total of 5 but Scirish has 12 so you have a bit of catching up to do. Of course if I were given some "incentive" that could change with just a keystroke. IJS.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Tina I like this song too. Not sure when I first heard but I went on You Tube and listened to it again.

I picture you as the person at a stop light bouncing around your car singing at the top of your lungs. LOL!

Morning No Newz, Zon and Lynn D.

Maureen said...

SHIRLEY...hmmmmm, just what kind of incentive are you talking about?

LYNN...feeling better?????

NO NEWZ...good morning

ZONA...how ya doing today?

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Maureen, money works for me.

Maureen said...

SHIRLEY...well, I guess those keystrokes will have to wait!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Looks like you'll have to get first the old fashion way...earn it. LOL!

Maureen said...

Or I could cheaqt!!!!!! ijs!!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Yes you could, but being the sweet honest person that you are, you won't.

Maureen said...

No, I probably won't...

MEK in AZ said...

Nineteenth hole!!

MEK in AZ said...

:-)

:-)

East Bay J said...

Goooooood morning!!!

MO congrats on 1st! And you didn't cheaqt!!!

Tina I love this song too! What a nice song to enjoy this morning!

We were watching a good show last night (20/20, Dateline, Nightline, 48 Hours, one of those, can't remember which!) and I just passed out. I think it was brain overload from my class all day yesterday.

Gotta get the laundry started, I hope everyone has a nice day!

It is pouring here, and windy too. We really need the rain, tho.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Mek,just monetary incentives, nothing else.

iteach said...

Good morning everyone!

Nice song Tina. :)

I off to lunch today with an old high school friend, very excited.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.

whabbear said...

Hey, 'weenie, Shirley, MEK, Zona, Lois, Lynn D, Judy, and iteach!

Carol, although I was posting yesterday, I just got a chance to watch the Valentine's video this morning. Fabulous! And funny! I think you captured everybody's essence!

And yes, I DID drop in to the Lone Star yesterday afternoon... LOL! Couldn't help myself because, as I'm sure you all knew already, its International Bear Rendezvous (IBR) weekend, so lots of big furry gay guys are out and about.

MEK, Judy, and J/L: I bet they won't be playing at Pebble today. It's certainly nasty out right now, and it's supposed to rain all day! Luckily, the Lone Star has a tarp up on the back patio!

Sandie said...

Yea for Mo--first!!

Tina, I love this song, too--one of the few I like that my daughter makes me listen to in the car. LOL I don't know why but there's a part of it that makes it sound like a Christmas song to me. Great choice!

Hey Tina, how come your son gets to play lacrosse in Vegas and we just get to go to Atlanta?? boo hoo

Area 51: IBB, I'm so sorry my fake weather report came true for you!!

scirish said...

What's this I hear about incentives????

Just_Lin said...

Good morning, Hooters!

Tina Thanks for the music today. I really like that song, too.

Zona said...

Afternoon All!

MO: I'm doing ok..long day yesterday..but all is good! Thanks for asking! :)

SHIRLEY: Goodness..do you think anyone would pay incentives?? ;) :D

EBJ: Rain for us tomorrow..and weeds to go with it. Drives me crazy. Yes we need the rain..but not the weeds!! ;)

Zona said...

MEK: Tomorrow I begin phase one of my idea..wish me luck! :)

ITEACH: Have fun at lunch!

BEAR: Thanks for the Valentine's day wishes..I love you too. :)

Zona said...

Hi J/LIN and SANDIE!! I hope you are having a great Sunday!

Zona said...

DIANNE: Did you recognize me..or the pool?? ;)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Zona I doubt anyone would pay cash in Canadian funds just to get ahead in the statistics. But you never know. It doesn't hurt to ask. *wink*wink*

ibebold said...

Good afternoon OWLETTES!!!!

Tina ...Great pick.. I hear this song on the radio at work... it makes me bop around...
They don't play this on the station I usually listen too...

Hope everyone has a great day!!


I wish this race would start before I have to go to work... Mother Nature Please !!!!!!!!!!

East Bay J said...

IBB we still have candy left too, surprisingly!

It is sooo nasty here today, really cold, windy and howling, plus pouring rain on and off.

Whab, glad the Lone Star makes provisions so you can stay dry while oogling all the bears!

iteach said...

We ate at Applebees and it was so good!

It felt good to sin on a Sunday.

Just_Lin said...

iteach LOL Why was it a sin to eat out?

Mary/MI said...

Good afternoon everyone-to-many-to-mention! lol

It is a cold damp blistery day here in Mich. Our short lived warm weather only spoil us! I t was nice while it lasted.

Mo,congrats on 1st!

Tina~I too vision you bee boppin to the music in your car,shower & on Mr Tina bwaha ha!!

My new favorite "sound" is the first song in myspace. I say "sound" because the words kinda crack me up, but I love the music!

Shirley, no Casino chips??

MEK, what's the weather in AIR-EE- ZONEE?

EBJ,my candy disappeared in the blink of an eye! It doesn't go far with me and two choc. hogs of men in my house lol!

Just_Lin said...

Mary I just went and listened to your song. Cracked me up, too! I like the sound of it also.

iteach said...

It was a sin to eat so much!

Just_Lin said...

iteach Oh, I get it now. Well, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a nice treat to be able to go out to eat. :)

Mary/MI said...

iteach, I always leave Applebees bloated to the gills! I have learned to get a to-go carton. My gut was begging me to lol! I love the chicken with pasta!

Justlin." I broke the windows of your car!" keeps running through my head!
Carol, loved the "pigs feet" video!
I have to go watch MEK's now.....

bonachichi said...

Does everyone have that Valentine's hangover? You know, when the candy's all gone and huz is burpin' and fartin' again?

Hope Sunday was wonderful! As an extra bonus, some of you get the day off from work! Howazt for the proverbial cherry topper?

Maureen said...

Did Sarah at least give me a pedicure before she cooked my feet?

Just_Lin said...

I've never had a pig's foot and all I can say is, "Eeeeewwwww"!

Mary/MI said...

MO,ROTF!!!

Lois Lane said...

Thanks Carol and Zona. We are doing better. The new car helped a lot. Today Lane 1 took Lane 2 out to get her hair cut and to see Coraline. It was the first time my kids made plans together. It was actually really nice, since they came back still smiling.

Good luck Zona with phase one (has no clue what that means LOL!)!! Great to see you too, MEK and all you beautiful owls.

MEK in AZ said...

congrats ebj~ (not liking this laptop!) :)~

night.owls.sb said...

LoisLane,
Lane 1 got a new car.. Do you have a new blog up?.. I will go check...

Mo,
Yes of course she gave you a pedi, you can't eat pigs feet, when the toe nails are sharp... LOL...

Tina~in_ut said...

toward the end of church today, this older man didn't seem to be feeling well. The lady behind (a cop) went up to him and started talking to him. Hubby leaned over to me and whispered, "I think he's having a heart attack." He then RAN to the school to get the deffibulator (sp?) and call 911. The paramedics were there by the time mass was over. (thank God hubby didn't have to use the deffib!) We drove the man's car to the hospital so his wife could go in the ambulence with him. She just called to say everything is okay and they are home safe and sound. No heart attack, but really low blood pressure. She is 74 and he is 85 and going blind. I'm almost more worried about her now as she is so tired. So glad she called though to update us. In true Tina fashion.....I told the priest that I think it was the homily that did it! :D

night.owls.sb said...

LoisLane,
You do have a new blog, I missed that, going to read it now...

BTW...if anyone did not read her blog, take a peek at it. Lois writes so well, and her Lane 1 is so sweet..

:O)

Tina~in_ut said...

Back to grading papers~

night.owls.sb said...

Tina,
So glad he is ok.. Homily did it..LOL

East Bay J said...

Hey Tina, great march there!

My computer is working in slow mo tonight so I'm really surprised I got 100!

East Bay J said...

Glad the man at church was ok!

Maureen said...

Damn, I wanted to be footloose today, instead I am footless...thanks to Sarah

Maureen said...

TINA...that must have been scary. Glad he (and she) are ok. What is a homily?

night.owls.sb said...

LoisLane,
So very glad all worked out for Lane 1, he so deserves it...

You and Mr. Lane are great parents, thanks for sharing your family, I love reading your blogs..

♥♥♥

night.owls.sb said...

Mo,
A homily is a commentary that follows a reading of scripture. I remember as a child the homily was the most boring part of the church service, as the priest picks a topic then discusses it with the congregation. As I grew older tho, I learned to appreciate what he has to say...

Bebbilane said...

Tina: So glad to hear that he is okay. I went to a daytime mass when my children were in catholic school. The priest invited everyone up to the front and an older gentleman came up with the group. During the prayer, he fell straight back. It was so sad, and he never recovered. He died a few days later. :(

Very glad your story had a much happier ending.

You make me feel so guilty though, I haven't been to church in a long time. We used to go regularly and then we became Chreasters (Christmas and Easter attending). And now we don't go at all.

East Bay J said...

Bebbi I'm like you, used to go on Easter and usually Christmas Eve mass.

In the last 10 years or so, seems like the only time I have gone to church was for weddings, or funeral masses.

I think you should call it "Cheaqters" in honor of MO!

Mary/MI said...

Tina, that would be scary! I feel bad for the Lady too.Stress can be hard on a body. Bless her heart. I am glad her Hubby survived the Homely (tiny-lol)!

Just_Lin said...

Tina I guess that's why I don't go to church, it might be dangerous to my health. :)

Seriously, I'm glad it turned out okay. Kudos to Mr. Tina for being alert to the situation.

East Bay J said...

Since it's Sunday and we're talking about church, I thought I'd post these pics of the church I had my first marriage in.

It's very old, and very charming. An old organ, a loft for the choir.

My first wedding was 2 weeks before Christmas, so it was decorated for the holiday.

I've been there a couple times for Christmas Eve mass, my parents still go every year!
ST MARYS CHURCH

Mary/MI said...

EBJ~ The church sits in a beautiful setting.
I was married in a quaint little church. It was called the "Candle light Chapel" It was in a beautiful setting too.....Las Vegas lol!

East Bay J said...

Mary, my second wedding was in a quaint place too, called the county courthouse LOL.

East Bay J said...

Mary, St. Mary's church sits in a cow pasture.

Mary/MI said...

EBG,My namesake in a cow pasture? lol!

Mary/MI said...

Egads! We are supposed to get a snow storm here Wednesday, the day of the funeral! They are saying 6-8" and possible more! We have a Karaoke gig on Sat. and we leave for Vegas Sunday... oy vey!!

Just_Lin said...

The Amazing Race was AMAZING. LOL

Dianne/Denver said...

I think I heard this song about 35 times when I was visiting
Arizona. Yes, TINA bops to it even sitting in a chair. I can't believe I didn't recognize it on the Grammy's last week.

ZONA; I would have known that was you in the pool in a second. I recognized your hair...:)

J/L..I like Amazing Race tonight to and caught up on Survivor. I am all caught up on the reality shows and now another week starts.

CAROL AND MEK: Loved both of your videos.

Night

Just_Lin said...

Good night, Hooters. See you all tomorrow. Sweet dreams.

Lani said...

My internet was down all day...stopping by to say hello and to tell TINA how much I love your song. You are absolutely right when you talk about moving to it. Instantly my feet are dancing all over the place as I am sitting here at the computer.

I wish everyone a wonderful week ahead.

Dianne/Denver said...

I am doing a test of my new little Mardi Gras Owl...Night

Maureen said...

Ok, I never claimed to be the quickest...I just now noticed the QOTD!! Thanks JUST LIN and CAROL!

Have a good Monday all
