Lindsay Lewis "Celebrity" Playlist



LINDSAY LEWIS "CELEBRITY" PLAYIST

So I was on iTunes and was looking at all the "Juno" celebrity playlist (PS: it's a good movie if you haven't seen it…check out this delightful film.) So I figured you haven't made it till you've had a "iTunes Celebrity Playlist"…So why not get a jumpstart before they ask me. (at least the idea is fun, discuss and breakdown the songs that inspire or mean something extra special to you.)

ENJOY...

*How Deep Is Your Love? –Dru Hill (Rush Hour 1 OST)
Odd choice some may say, but this is one of my favorite tracks. I've loved it since "Rush Hour 1" came out. (this doesn't mean I'm promoting Rush Hour, it means I LOVE the song) This is a song you would drive to late at night, turn up real loud and sing alone in your car.

*Signal Fire – Snow Patrol (Spiderman 3 OST)
This was my favorite song of 2007, even though the movie kinda sucked. The words are powerful if you listen. The moment the chorus kicks in…you feel like running, you feel alive.

*Champagne Supernova –Oasis (What's the Story…Morning Glory?)
This song has meaning, I sung it at my final high school assembly…it was a great moment I didn't want to end.

*Rhythm Divine –Enrique Iglesias (Enrique)
I don't know why but this song makes me HAPPY. There's so much life in this song (it comes alive at the end)…cheesy? Yes.

*Bittersweet Symphony –The Verve
Just play and enjoy, a great song.

*Chasing You Around –Sugar Ray (In pursuit of the leisure)
This song makes me smile, I think about my dog Hooch.

*One Headlight –The Wallflowers (Bringing down the horse)
Man I love this song; it just gets me every time I hear it.

*Fix You –Coldplay (X&Y)
The 2nd half of this song just hits me; I just feel the power of this song.

*Heart –Stars (Heart)
Nice little song I can't help but sing every time I hear it.

*Alive –Edwin (Another spin around the sun)
Listen to this song, makes you think about the good moments to treasure in life.
I would listen to this song before any of my high school plays I would do.

*I'm Your Puppet –James & Bobby Purify
My friend Ian sent me this song; I wish I heard this song 15 ish years ago…because it would be my favorite song.

*Love you till the end –Pogues
This song is just beautiful; sing this song to someone you love.

*Old Habits Die Hard –Mick Jaggar & Dave Stewart
For some reason just stuck with me since I first heard it in 2004.

*That Says It All –Duncan Sheik
I heard this song at the end of the movie "Three to tango" it just worked so well for the emotion the main character was feeling. This song is just very nice nighttime thinking music.

*Cats in the Cradle –Cat Stevens
I didn't really know my dad growing up, but it's not that fact that makes this a great song. The song is just such a simple well-made song…beautifully sad.

*The Commander Thinks aloud –The Long Winters
This song is perfect song to end a show/movie. I have this song in my head when I'm leaving somewhere or something is ending that means something to me.

*The Next Life –Suede (The Chase Soundtrack)
Who would have thought a song in a 90's Charlie Sheen movie would be on this list? This song is so powerful; it makes you think…makes you look back.

*There she Goes –The Boo Radleys (or The La's version)
This song just makes you smile, it's very lovely, it's very romantic. It's short and very much to the point…there she goes.

*Uprising down under –Sam Roberts
Another song my friend Ian Sent me (he has pretty good taste in music) this is probably Sam Roberts most sad song. It's a song that feels ageless, there is a timeless pain in the song that makes it Beautiful. You almost want to put this one on loud and just let go and sing.

*We Will Still Need A Song –Hawksley Workman
Off his great album "Lover/Fighter" this song is great, it's real it's upbeat. You really believe when listening to the song, that the words are true…we will still need a song.
This isn't a bad choice to be that song. Let this song in…feel it…enjoy.

*Wish that I knew what I know now –Rod Stewart
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard, it's bittersweet, but you can't help but smile when listening to it.

*The Sweetest Thing –U2
I enjoy U2's music overall, but this song just always sticks out to me. "Blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl…ain't love the sweetest thing?"


So i know my list might be cheesy but keep in mind it's just what's inspired me. That's the great thing about music, any song...on any given day can inspire someone for years to come.

The Offline's New Policy


It has come to Lindsay Lewis/The Offline’s Attention, that several of our crewmembers have tested positive for Anabolic Steroids and/or Cocaine.

So effective immediately as of January 1st, 2008 a new WWE Drug Policy has been added to the site’s guidelines and rulebooks.

-Any member of the site who test positive for any of the above substance or any other drug we deem inappropriate will be suspended on the spot for a minimum period of at least 6 months. A second violation of this drug policy will then lead to your termination with “THE OFFLINE”.

We THE OFFLINE, sincerely regret to anyone who has been hurt by this matter, to our crew and viewers we hope you stick with us through these tough times.

We hope that you stick with us through our healing future; we see bright things with our new WWE Drug Policy.

Thanks
Sincerely
Lindsay Lewis & The Offline Staff.

Lindsay Lewis v.s. THE OFFLINE.


So THE OFFLINE has officially started its soft launch, what does this mean for the online world? Well that’s what I’m here to talk to you about today. Now some of you funny people may actually jokingly say…Nothing. Well haha, aren’t you funny, but seriously…you’re funny.

The Offline, is supposed to be a funny place for you (the audience) to enjoy some new and innovative Video and Audio Projects. Except one thing, I think the crew didn’t get the memo about the FUNNY part. That’s right I didn’t come here today to cheers the site, I in fact came here to challenge most of it’s members to a fight.

Do you have time to listen to me for a few minutes? I hope so, cause we’re going to run down some offline members right now.

-Paul
Where do we start with this “man” I mean sure he’s funny, but anyone would laugh at your jokes, if you paid them enough money. Now I don’t want to say he’s had it tough, but c’mon…look at the guy. He gets angry at the sunshine and when people smile. I once met this young kid…who told me a knock knock joke, it was instantly funnier then anything Paul has ever said. Now Paul has some perks to him, I just haven’t found them yet. I’ve heard he’s big with the Foo Fighters and Sex & the City fansites. Well Paul this isn’t the Sex and the City board, welcome to THE OFFLINE.

-Ryan
Short and simple I hear this guy is dating or at least stalking Zach Braf. What’s that I spelt his name wrong…it’s spelt Braff. My point proven.

-Dan
The fact that he likes Kids in the Hall is enough for me to want to fight him (in a hall). Dan who is actually quite gifted at picking up a quarter off the floor. Which is a great talent for him to have, as he's gonna have years of this trick.

-Aaron
What can I say about Corey Feldman’s Cousin, except I think he’s KILLED a human being. So with that knowledge, I just want to say…Aaron is a really funny guy.

-John
I hear this guy has a radio station that only plays Linkin Park & Limp Bizkit. Wow I’m super excited to work with this guy, maybe next week he’ll start up a Dart league. Stay off the booze kid, it’s alright.

-Phil
Man a tree just called it wants its personality back, but seriously I’ve seen Phil cut down Trees with several different axes. Someone please stop this man from killing nature, or I may have to.

-Ian
Wow this kid is tall, quite tall. Ian’s the first to know when it rains and the first to put me to sleep with a pitch. Now I don’t want to blame drugs, but I think Ian isn’t fully loaded upstairs if you know what I mean? But he does have a nice haircut I must admit.

-Lindsay
What can I say about this guy, he’s AMAZING. He’s the greatest thing for the offline since…well EVER. He’s got charming eyes, a charming smile and he’s the first offline member to blogically (not a real word) challenge his fellow Offliner’s.


SO the following that you’ve just read is a crock of crap…clearly.
The above people listed are actually quite funny and fun individuals. To prove this to you I will now explain each member in 1-3 words.

Paul- Entertaining Bastard
Ryan- Sensitive T-shirts
Dan- Ambulance Chaser
Aaron- Corey Feldman’s Cousin
John- Chocolate muffin
Phil- Violent?
Ian- Tall & Boyish
Lindsay- HEARTFELT Smile

Clearly these folks are fun people, so I needed to spice up the offline. Lindsay Lewis is the first member of THE OFFLINE to start his very own solo gang/faction. Who will win this newly started online rivalry? If you said LINDSAY LEWIS, you’re right.

Thanks for reading.
To Paul, Ryan, Dan, Aaron, John, Phil, Ian.
I love you.

FREDDIE PRINZE JR.


Freddie Prinze Jr.

Man what Happened to 90's golden boy/teenbeat magazine hero Freddie had it all. Many people wonder what or why his huge career just came to a huge stop sadly for most film viewers and critics (you know they loved him) he stop making films (or so we thought)

what happened to "Family Matters" 1995 episode "the gun" star freddie aka "tough guy" ????

Through the years society has thrown us many teen at the moment "It" guy
and he was 1997-1999 It guy before him was the likes of such classics as
-saved by the bell's "Zach"
-Home Improvements "JTT"

Freddie Prinze had a interesting life, his father was a pretty big comic who took his life right around the time Freddie was born who knew that Freddie's Star would shine brighter then his father

Freddie had two lucky roles early in his career that would kick-start his career "To Gillian on her 37th birthday" &"The house of Yes" Wow things were starting out great for Young Freddiewhat would come next, his career could go either way then "It" Begun "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER" hit theaters we Fell in love with this young charming actor (admit it...YOU DID) This is where it really started The Freddie Prinze Jr. Train drove straight through our hearts at full speed

This weeks Lindsay Lewis FUN FACT: did you know one of Lindsay's favourite films is
"I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER" (he saw it on this birthday on oct, 27, 1997) and film would never be the same for Lindsay after his Birthday, maybe it was the fact that he saw it on his birthday that he liked it so much, maybe it was the lovely Jennifer Love Hewitt
but...
we all know it's Freddie who made this movie special (please don't joke with yourself you love him folks)

so We had our first full powerhouse Performance from FreddieHow could Freddie top that film ?? Was there any way to top his solid Performance in "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER"
Of course...we are talking about Freddie Prinze Jr

"She's all that" Freddie would again steal our hearts
He did it again he won hearts and he wasn't through not one bit, he then would fly into your hearts from the sky in...
"Wing Commander" with Matthew Lillard (who he's acted with in several films) The Freddie "It" train was at an all-time high

Suddenly something happened
(yes i'm talking about "Down to you") one of his next three films (all Romantic Comedies) could it be that North America was All Freddie'd out Sadly they were...somehow. The crowds were tired of seeing Freddie win their hearts time and time again
But in True Freddie Prinze Jr style he wouldn't allow that he Would make the Movie "Summer Catch" with the lovely Jessica Biel (and Mattew Lillard) The movie would bring most of his fans back to see his face on the silver screen again
Freddie would take something from the Freddie Backlash he realised he needed to make less films So after Freddie made "Scooby Doo" (which was a huge summer hit) he would take a small break and take less roles.

Freddie Prinze Jr would then take small Voice over work and Television work, later Freddie would come back for the series Scooby Doo in "Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" (it was a hit yet again) so was it really the monster's being unleashed or Freddie (i think you know the answer) After the Smash summer hit, Freddie would take small roles and such but really he took a break from the spotlight

Now go to Freddie Prinze in 2006 he would be Back in our minds and hearts (this time with the hit ABC TV show "Freddie") So we can only hope this show keep staying big so we don't lose this Hollywood GEM (sadly after this article was written, We would find out the show is no longer on the air)

So as we feel some sadness for the career that could have been biggeryou must Remember one thing FREDDIE married Sarah Michelle Gellar (life ain't tough for him) and now he lives a regular life, doing a few smaller films here and there.

so in closing on Freddie Prinze Jr, Remember he is human and not just one pleasent face and smile on the big screen,
He may charm you but he is acting (so keep yourself from writing him love letters Ladies and Gentleman, He's married)
So on Behalf of everyone reading and writing "LINDSAY LEWIS On Demand"
we wish you goodluck Freddie Prinze Jr. Thanks for the Years of GREAT films

We would also like to give a shout out to the next "Freddie Prinze Jr" and hope you don't fall apart (thats right you know i'm talking to you Ryan Reynolds, Shia LaBeouf, Zach "Talented?" Enfron) please be careful and choose your films wisely...and know that the next "It" guy is waiting to take your slot (LINDSAY LEWIS)

Alright folks so thanks again for Reading
Remember this weekend is "National Rent A Freddie Prinze Jr. Movie Week"
So until the Next Edition
Thanks for reading

Unlike Vanessa Hudgens…there will be no nude pictures featured.


Hi Again

So I’ve been trying lately to write a 2ND blog, with not much luck. So I was thinking of a blog about where I challenge WWE Champion John Cena to a steel cage match. I was going to put a bunch of John Cena facts up, to give you (the reader) a fair balance of stats to decide who’d win in the fight. John Felix Anthony Cena the Dr. of Thuganomics, the 3 time WWE Champion. He stands 6’11” feet tall against my 5’6” (So it appears in a battle of height and weight, he would be the odds on favorite to win). John Cena put out a cd titled “You can’t see me” a couple of years ago. Lindsay Lewis has yet to put out and official full-length cd (So it appears another round of odds would favor John Cena). John Cena has one Feature Film under his belt “The Marine” where he was made famous for saying…”They’ve got a hostage…it’s my wife”. Lindsay Lewis on the other hand hasn’t jump to the big screen yet (Another round won for John Cena). John Cena apparently has 4 brother (Hopefully they’re life is exciting much like John Singleton’s film “Four Brothers”) where Lindsay Lewis only has one Sister (Another round won for John Cena). So things look quite bleak for the up and coming Lindsay Lewis, his only hope of winning the match…His youthful looking face, his charming eyes and most importantly his StreetHeart. So I was about to highly consider that as a blog, but I feel like the world needs to focus on more important fights (Such as 50 Cent vs. Kanye West).

Then I thought to myself hey why doesn’t Lindsay (Me) just write about the worst films so far this year to come out? But would that list compell a strong read Lindsay (Me) thought.

Then it Happened….Lindsay and one unidentified person walked the streets of Toronto (One Friday night during film fest season) and then were asked a very important question. “Who here is over 14 years old?” What happened after that question was asked…was Lindsay (and the unidentified person) getting passes to go watch an outdoor Hilary Duff mini concert (from behind the stage). Of course the woman did ask for my ID to see if I was truly over 14 years old (a compliment maybe, still unsure as I’m 22 years old). Anyways the area/view of the show was quite good; myself (and the unidentified person) sat awkwardly with a bunch of young teenage Hilary Duff fans. Then she came on the stage and performed a few songs, and looked quite lovely doing so. So what started as a serendipitous ish walk, turned into a Hilary Duff concert viewing. Which now officially brings me to the point of this blog. Months back I was told to come up with a song to make, and I had jokingly suggested it be about Hilary Duff. Well now the joke is on me, as the song will officially go into the works starting now. So if you want to work with the music legend (and no I’m not talking about John Cena) Lindsay Lewis…now the chance comes, as Lindsay will be making a Hilary Duff song (mixed with acoustic guitar and catchy beats. So the question I leave with you now is not “who here is older then 14 years old?” but in fact “are you the right person to help Lindsay make this song?”

On that note I will now leave you with a list of the worst films so far this year.

Lindsay Lewis Day 1



Hey

Welcome to the Lindsay Lewis on demand page, you’ve arrived at the first blog on Planet Lewis. Tonight’s blog is simply a starter one, where I will talk about upcoming blogs and myself.

Lindsay Lewis born and raised in Ottawa Ontario Canada, the nation’s capital of Canada. On one cold evening in October in 1984 my mom (Maureen) gave birth to my sister (Patricia) and I. 22 years later…I’ve arrived in the blog world, will I be welcomed?
YES.

This blog is also apart of the website “The OFFLINE” which you can go to by clicking this link. ( http://www.theoffline.com ) The offline is a media site with plenty of laughs and media savvy/sexy videos. Back to this blog page though, what can you expect from me? Top song list, top actors lists, top movie lists, top TV show lists, etc…
You will soon come to know more about The OFFLINE site and more about me. Sadly until the day that I can interview Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Don Cheadle or Tom Hanks, my Offline and blog days will feel for nothing. So lets make it happen…

Lindsay Lewis

P.S. if you haven’t figured out by the end of this blog, my name is Lindsay Lewis…and YES I am a guy.
