Jason Castro has to be the coolest American Idol contestant ever! He’s a genuine person (a speculated stoner) and he is an AMAZING SINGER. The song he sang on Tuesday (Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley) is number 1 on iTunes (which is too mainstream for my taste, but whatever.) Video of his performance below!

I love this kid! He rocks so hard. No lie.
This must be at a talent show or something.

Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the wold
This the beginning of the end
This the most heinous of crimes
This the deadliest of sins
The greatest violation of all time
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
Youve seen her stripped mined
Youve heard of bombs exploded underground
You know the sun shines
Hotter than ever before
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
Some claim to have crowned her
A queen
With cities of concrete and steel
But there is no glory no honor
In what results
From the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
She has been clear-cut
She has been dumped on
She has been poisoned and beaten up
And we have been witness
To the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the world
If you look youll see it with your own eyes
If you listen you will hear her cries
If you care you will stand and testify
And stop the rape of the world
Stop the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all

So, even though I don’t recieve comments, I have been told that people have, in fact, read my post. (But don’t forget to read the About Carly, it’s way better!)
Anywho, this is the first post in which I will delve into the depths of…BOOKS AND MUSIC! WOO-HOO!
After going on a spontaneous excursion with two (technically three) pals to Barnes & Noble, I have had an epiphany. Well, not really an epiphany, more of a thought that was almost worthy of being written down. And, for lack of sufficient material, I have decided to put it in my post. Here it goes: Teen books rock the world! Not kidding you. When I think of getting older and having to read adultish books with boring covers, I almost gag. How can you LIVE without reading the great works of John Green, Maureen Johnson, Sarah Dessen and Scott Westerfeld?! You just can’t. It’s that simple.
Books I recommend:
More books will come to me eventually, but that’s it for now.
*Don’t you just love how I write like I’m actually addressing an audience?
Sidenote- John Green is actually 1/2 of the brothers Green, more commonly known as the creators of Nerdfighteria. Check out one of his funnier videos below, I guess. I’ve never done this before, so I hope it works.
