Audio Adrenaline - Ocean Floor

For the first time, my favorite song (one that I don't mind humming, listening to repeatedly, singing in the shower, etc etc) is by a Christian rock band (gasp!). Audio Adrenaline was very popular in the Christian circles when I was in college, but at the time I never gave them a chance.

Here's the video: link

Here's the lyrics:

The mistakes I've made that cause pain
I could have done without
All my selfish thoughts, all my pride
the things I hide...you have forgot about

They're all behind you
They'll never find you
They're on the ocean floor

You're sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
of the ocean floor

My misdeeds, all my grief
All the things that haunt me now
They're not a pretty sight to see
but they're wiped away by a mighty mighty wave

(chorus)

You're sins are erased
and they are no more
they're out on the ocean floor

Take them away to return no more
Take them away to the ocean floor

Movie Review: A Knight's Tale



Wow! It's been quite a while since I wrote a movie review - for obvious reasons. My personal movie watching is now limited to the rare nights of insomnia which hit me from time to time. Anyhow, when I saw the TV ads for Heath Ledger's A Knight's Tale back in '01, I thought at the time that this has got to be the lamest movie ever. Pretty boy Heath Ledger? Rock songs set in medieval times? The "We Will Rock You" chants during jousting tournaments? Stuuupid!

Many thanks to TNT for airing A Knight's Tale, because I was pleasantly surprised and entertained by this movie. It reminded me of "A Princess Bride", complete with the interesting traveling companions, references to pop culture, and decent action sequences. I actually teared during one part in the movie - bleh! I'm sure the historical references in the movie are entirely wrong, but who cares...it was entertaining!

One of the best lines of the movie:

French Squire 1: An Englishman will not win this French tournament. English legs are unsteady on French soil.
French Squire 2: And because French wine is too much for English bellies.
French Squire 3: And most importantly, because the Pope himself is French.
Roland: Well, the Pope may be French, but Jesus is English! You're on!

9 out of 10.
