Sidewalk Prophets- Give It Up (For 7UP) [Official Video]

Yes, yes, yes. Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness where do I start!?!?!?!?!?!

I'm starting a hash-tag people. #daveandtobyrap 
YEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! 

"Give it up for 7UP! Clean, crisp and refreshing!" 

Seriously though... When Dave started rapping.... Uh-Huh! 

Bowling. Sidewalk Prophets. And 7UP.  What else is there for me to say?


Even if you haven't heard of Sidewalk Prophets or you have no clue what the point of this song is (yes, there is one), or even if you didn't like the song (What is wrong with you?) you should still go to the K-LOVE fan awards voting page to vote. 
Maybe you've never heard of any of these people (haha. Yeah right.), maybe you've never heard of K-LOVE, maybe you have absolutely NO clue what this whole thing is about, but you should still go vote. 

"Why?" you might ask! "Why?" you might wonder! "Why?" you might scream at the sky! (Seriously though, why would you scream at the sky...?)

Because for every 500,000 votes, a house is built to help a family in Detroit. 2,000,000 votes means that 4 houses will be built in Detroit. That means that 4 families will receive a house! But, only if they get 2,000,000 votes. Therefore, Every. Vote. Counts. 

Now, don't everybody go vote with a bunch of silly, goof-off answers! At least try to be a little serious about the whole thing!

But really. Go vote. And watch Sidewalk Prophets' video. And use my hash-tag. 

#daveandtobyrap



And don't be surprised if you see me using my hash-tag in random places, or in posts that don't have anything to do with Dave. Or Toby. Or rap. Or 7UP.

[Warning: I did a good majority of this late at night, so if it's even more random that usual, I apologize... #daveandtobyrap]

Friday Favorites // Paul Brown Petty

Okay. (Okay is not the best word to start a post with, so let's try that again...)
GUESS WHAT I FOUND!!!! (There. I may have scare you out of your seat, but at least I didn't start with a boring word. Attention grabbers. That's what I'm about. No. Not really.) 

Anyways. *sigh* 

I was going about my business earlier, and I stop by to check You-Tube real quick (*snort*) and I saw a new Brandon Heath music video! But it wasn't just any Brandon Heath music video. It was Brandon Heath's Paul Brown Petty official music video. (I was so excited, I may have squealed a bit. I also may have immediately clicked to watch it, and I also may have immediately decided to share it with you all today instead of my original plan.)   

I have loved derived great pleasure from this song every since I first heard it, and I wanted to share it with you then, but to my dismay... there was no music video for it. But now! NOW there is!!! And let me tell you! If I enjoyed this song before, I enjoy it sooooo much more now! 

But, enough of me going on, and on, (and on, and on, and on, and on,) about this song. To know why I take pleasure in the song so greatly, You, My dear (reader/ friend/ follower/ acquaintance/ what-ever-one-best-fits) will have to watch and listen for yourself.

What did you think? Did I give the song justice? Or over exaggerate how wonderful it is?

Wow. There are so many priceless lines in here, I can't decide which one to quote. :)

Friday Favorite // Maddie and Zoe - Let It Go

I don't know if you've seen the movie Frozen yet. I'm sure you've heard about it because for a while there (and maybe still) people of all ages are talking about it. I've seen lots, and lots, and LOTS of covers from the movie, but if I were to watch them all... It would take an extremely long time to finish them all. :)
From the few cover's I've watched though, this one has got to be the cutest. And it's so cute I had to share it with you! These two four-year-old sisters were recorded (both voice and video) by their dad. They may not have the most amazing voices, but the cuteness factor makes up for it! ;)

Have you watched Frozen? What did you think?

Friday Favorites // Virtue Makes You Beautiful

I smile every single time I watch this.

A bunch of teenage guys, and one of their teachers got together and did a parody of a song (that I think was originally done by One ... can't say it. I just can't bring myself to say it.) If you know the original song, leave it in the comments!

Anywho, this version of the song is WAY better!!!

Virtue Makes You Beautiful



Isn't it awesome!

Also, I did some playing around with the look of my blog. I found out how to add buttons! If there's a button you think I should add, let me know! I may or may not, but I'll at least take it into consideration. ;) I also found out how to add the little thing with the checks at the bottom of my posts! (If you know what that's called, give yourself a pat on the back. :) )  Let me know what you think!

What was your favorite part of the video?

Love,
Rebekah

Friday Favorites // StikYard

These guys are really cool! They are drummers, but they have a certain element of... Basically, you just have to see for yourselves. :)
Without any further ado...

How would you finish the above sentence? 'They have a certain element of....'

Friday Favorites // Wake Up & Smell The Bacon

I don't know if you've heard of this. I don't know if you've seen it. I don't know if you like it. I don't know if you care. But, I thought it was worth sharing. If not for coolness, for weirdness, and if not for tastiness, for bacon.

 

 

What else can I say!?!?!

 

So, here's an advertisement for the new Oscar Mayer app called 'Wake Up and Smell the Bacon.' From what I understand, it's an app that is amazing in itself, but there's so much more than the app. You can apply for a device that plugs into your ear-phone jack. This device, when your alarm goes off, releases the aroma of... Bacon.

 

You can check out their website to find out how to apply, and for more bacon-ey goodness here.

 

So, ladies and gents, with out further ado, here's Oscar Mayer's Wake Up and Smell the Bacon advertisement.

 

What do you think? Do you think this is really cool? Extremely dumb? Absolutely ridiculous? Entirely random? Oh, ho, ho! You want random! I'll give you random! (WARNING: It's rather late, and I'm tired, so I have NO clue what's about to happen, and I'm not into hitting the delete button...)

 

^ Oh! I would LOVE one of those!!!

 

^ Need I say anymore? There is no such thing as 'too much bacon.'

^ We were actually watching a movie a few weeks ago, and they showed a scene with a sunset, and.... all I saw was bacon. (Please refer back to the warning...)

 

Well, I hope none of that was too random, and that you enjoyed some of it!

Friday Favorite // Love You

I love greatly enjoy this heart-wrenching reminder of love. Maybe the reminder appeals to me because I'm an older sibling, and I know that I've told my younger siblings no to something before. Only because I've wanted to something for myself. (You will understand why I said what I said after you watch the video.) :)

Have any of you heard of Jostie Flicks before? I discovered them on You-Tube several weeks ago, and extremely enjoy their videos! If you haven't heard of them before, you should go check them out! (And, contrary to this video, most of their productions are funny.)

Friday Favorite / Messed Up Time

So... A 'Friday Favorite' on a Saturday!?!?! 'Messed Up Time'.. You think! Maybe just a little!!!

Yeah.. sorry about that. We had a swim meet to go to, so I was 2 hours away, and my computer was at home... :( It's so sad, isn't it... *sniff*

Well, since we're on the topic of time (or at least we kind of were....) Here's a great reminder that on March 9th, we SPRING ahead! I certainly will like the fact that it's lighter longer, but having to get up on a Sunday after losing an hour of sleep.... Let's just say that that's always a hard morning, no matter what year it is. :)

Anyways, without further ado...

Friday Favorite // Jamie Grace - White Boots

So, I have the Sunday series, the Tuesday Tresses, and Friday Favorites.

Friday Favorites may contain movie/book recommendations, music videos, other videos, random pictures, a website, etc. Something that's been my favorite that week or day. :) Hope you enjoy!

This week's Friday Favorite is an absolutely amazing song! The message of this song always makes me smile so, so much. (or big, or... whatever the right word is there..) Jamie Grace is a talented artist, who recently released her second album! Her newest album 'Ready to Fly' contains this song. So, without any further ado...

Isn't it just adorable!!!! Tell me what you thought!
