This is how I'm feeling today...

I'm done with the depressing ass music I've been posting on here lately. I'm not a sad person. I'm happy and fun loving and crazy and energetic. And lots of other stuff that's way cooler than sad.

Here's my epiphany for the week. Life is what you make of it. Shit happens folks. A lot of it is out of our control, and the crappy decisions others make can directly affect how we feel about and see ourselves. Then we start questioning the very core of who we are. We become someone else. Someone who fits the mold. Someone that is acceptable. Changing to make someone else happy, will only cause yourself to be miserable. It goes against the very nature of who we are. There comes a time when you need to step outside yourself and say, "I'm not cool with this person. I want me back." Then take the actions you need to get there.

You can't please everyone, but what I've learned is this, the people who truly matter WILL accept you for who you are. No matter how "socially incorrect" you may be. Hold on to these people. They are the ones who will be there till the end. I have been blessed with some truly amazing friends in my life. Three in particular come to mind. Two are right here on this blog. Three may seem like a small number, but their capacity for love and greatness is astounding. I never feel the need for anything more.

We can't change the past. And even if we could, who's to say it would turn out any better. Make the most of what's right in front of you. Enjoy the people in your life. And be who you are. Which, in my case, is not sad. :)

This is how I'm feeling today...

People aren't meant to alone. So if you find someone you actually care about, it's important to let go of the little things.





In the infamous words of Dr. John Dorian.... "Cuz nothing sucks more than feeling all alone. No matter how many people are around."

Pour Ma Cherie...Cleo...

Poor little Cleo is in panic mode because The Killers have announced their indefinite hiatus from music making. I have never seen so many irrational texts in all my life. So I told her to take a prozac, have a margarita and chill the hell out. And only then would I post her a fantabulous song.



I was gonna post a picture of me in my killers underwear, but she begged and pleaded for me not too, so I won't. But I am gonna post this one. And quote Mrs. Cleo, who was exceptionally hungry after The Killers concert in Austin... "Da hell does a girl have to do to get a damn pancake around here?"

BITE ME COWBOY!!!

I have made my aversion to country music very well known here. So, I am about to blow everyones mind with this little doozy. I love Lady Antebellum. Love them. Every song I have heard by them has been amazing. AMAZING!! But this is my all time favorite. I think I need to stay out of them there country bars for a spell.

I'm pretty sure that this is the first non-Christmas country song we've posted. So yeah us...Look Mommy we're growing as people!!

Don't even try to act like you don't like it. It's a great song. Especially you Cleo.



It's kind of amazing how circumstances in your life can bring out things in you that you didn't know were there. Or things that you considered weaknesses and just didn't let show. Like the desire to feel needed and loved. I think this song embraces those things. If something is good for you, then why fight it. Do what makes you happy.

Dashboard Baby!!!

You know how I have a sweet spot for Chris Carrabba so I had to post this new one from Dashboard Confessional. I love it just cuz Chris can do no wrong in my eyes. And also, it's just damn fantastic.

Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
But keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the Belle of the Boulevard

This is Chris' classy way of saying 'You don't have to turn tricks peeps, just go home to your momma who loves you. Even if she did name you somthin' stupid like Trivial.' He's sweet like that, you know.

Give Me Strength - Snow Patrol



"My friends we've seen it all, when it made no sense at all, you dare to light my path and found the beauty in the aftermath."

I'm grateful to those who have stuck by my side during some of the hardest moments I've experienced in my young life. Amber's 2010 Theme Song.....You Give Me Strength. This year I plan on having wonderful, adventurous, and happy memories to recall. I'm tired of the pain, I'm growing, I'm on an upward motion. Please bless me Father that I can remain that way.
