I got my first real six-string...

Day 03 - A song that makes you happy

So many songs make me happy. But a song that always puts a little "pep in my step" when I'm walking to class is "Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams. This is definitely one of the best songs ever and I don't know a single soul that can hear this song and not bob their head just a little bit. Anytime I hear it I am instantly happy. If you don't have it on your iPod...get it there

Too bad I can't quite relate...my mom was born in the fall of '68...so I definitely wasn't around...



I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shualda known we'd never get far

Oh when I lock back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

(CHORUS)

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on a mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in summer of '69

Day twoooo:::
My current least favorite song: "Baby" -Justin Bieber

I'm not going to post the lyrics or the video because I just really hate it and I don't think anyone should be subjected to it's torture.
I really just don't like him or his voice at all. I can't say it's because he's 16 because I'm a fan of Nick Jonas and have been for a while. I just really, really don't like him.
Maybe one of these days he'll improve...but until then I'll stay far away from him and his songs.

My current favorite song: "Kiss Me When I'm Down" -Gary Allan

His new cd just came out last month, so it's basically all I've been listening to. And this is by far my favorite song on the new cd.

Here's the lyricsss!!!

It’s been a year since last weekend
when you swung by with an old friend
Carried out our future box by box
Stack of mail a tube of toothpaste
An empty zeppelin three cd case
Still a few things here that you forgot
They’re just a bad excuse
Just something I can use
To call you

Come on over
Drink my wine
Waste my candles
Waste my time
Tell me lies I won’t believe
Just don’t wake me when you leave
Come on over
Kick me to the ground
Kiss me when I’m down

The bar you’re in sounds like it’s crowded
People laughin’ people shouting
Where you gonna go at closing time
Just pay your tab
And I’ll pay your cab
If you want to

Come on over
Drink my wine
Waste my candles
Waste my time
Tell me lies I won’t believe
Just don’t wake me when you leave
Come on over
Kick me to the ground
Kiss me when I’m down

Just an hour or two
Is better than none of you
I miss you

Come on over
Drink my wine
Waste my candles
Waste my time
Tell me lies I won’t believe
Just don’t wake me when you leave
Come on over
Kick me to the ground
Kiss me when I’m down
Kiss me when I’m down

Here's a video of him performing it!!! :)

Other than Gary's amazing voice, the reason I love this song right now is that it reminds me so much of things I have gone through in the past and currently. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has felt like this. You break up with someone, you think everything is over, but you just can't stay away from them. You know it's a bad idea to talk to them, to be with them, to kiss them, but you do it every time and you always get hurt.

And then there's the fact that I LOVE Gary Allan. :))

Why not me? -The Judds

(I love this song! So, so true!)

You been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby don't you know this country girls still free
Baby why not me?

So you finally come down to your old home town
Your Kentucky girls been awaitin' patiently
Why not me?

Why not me on a rainy day
Why not me to love your cares away
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold
Why not me when you're growin' old
Why not me?

You been searchin' from here to Singapore
ain't it time that you noticed the girl next door baby
Why not me?
You had to see if the world was round
It's time that you learn how good settlin' down could be
Why not me?


Why not me on a rainy day
Why not me to love your cares away
Why not me?
Why not me when the nights get cold
Why not me when you're growin' old
Why not me?

You been lookin' for love all around the world
Baby dont you know this country girls still free
Why not me
Why not me
Baby why not me?

Oh Baby why not me

The heart won't lie.

Life update!!!

It's Thursday, March 4, 2010. I'm 20 years old...almost 21!!!...and a junior at Stephen F. Austin State University. 

My baby brother turns 13 tomorrow. I'm trying to not really think about it. I don't think there's any way on earth that he can already be 13. It seems like just yesterday he and I were jamming out to Garth Brooks in our living room on his first Christmas. And the day after that he was scared of the grass and wouldn't walk on it. And then after that we drew on the sidewalk with chalk. He can't be 13! I got my first kiss when I was 13, and he should be way far away from THAT! 

But, alas, life has moved on. Quickly. 

I still don't know what I want to do with my life other than get married and have kids. Of course that dream is nearly impossible because I don't have any husbands lined up, and it doesn't seem like men are running to create a line. 

One of these days...hopefully before I'm old...like 30!

More on my life these days...I hate my job. I'm still amazing at spending money that I don't need to spend. My friends are awesome one day, and annoying the next. I miss home every day. 

Blah. Class time!

Last time around

Have you ever not been able to get over someone or something? No matter what you do, how long it's been, and how hard you try you just cant move on?

I hate that feeling. 

"But every step I take that leads me away just circles back to your door."

I hate the feeling because I know the other person doesn't feel the same and probably never will. 

But if I know this, why cant I move on? I'm a smart person, why doesn't my brain grasp the fact that I'm wasting my time and move on?

I haven't seen this person in over two years. He's told me to move on. He's also told me that he appreciates that I'm always there for him. 

What is the right remedy for getting over someone? It's like a disease, so there has to be a prescription to surgery to get rid of it. 

In other news...

I've decided that I'm going to eat healthy. Not SUPER healthy...but gonna change a few things. Like last night I had green beans and water for supper. I think I'm going to do that Special K diet. Replacing a meal a day with Special K. Something to try I suppose. And I have to come up with some kind of exercise that I can do without wanting to kill myself while doing it. I know I won't go to the gym everyday. I know I won't salsa dance everyday in my living room. I need something simple, easy, yet effective. 

I'll figure something out. 

I cant wait for the Super Bowl! Peyton Manning is going to rock it! I'm having a party...of course. I can't remember the last time that I didn't have one. And this year it's in my own apartment so it's going to be awesome! Meagan and I are planning on making decorations and such. Gonna have chip and cheese dip. Don't think there's anything else that we need. 

Well we of course need the Colts to win!!!

(Which they will.)

Off to class. 

You've Got Mail

"There is the dream of someone else." -Kathleen Kelly- "You've Got Mail"

Sometimes in this world all I need is to watch chick flicks and lay around in my pjs. Today is one of those days. This week has been one of those weeks. I've realized that I'm not who I thought I was. Or maybe that I am exactly who I thought I was, just no one else knows who I am. 

Wow...that made no sense. But that's basically how I've been feeling lately. Like I make no sense and that the things around me make no sense. 

I'm not sure if it's because I'm just bored out of my mind or if I'm just so fed up with boys and their crap, but hey, none of that is new. 

I watched "Julie and Julia" the other day. I didn't care for the movie too much, but I loved the idea of it. Julie cooked her way through Julia Child's cookbook and blogged about it. She had a reason to get up and get going every single day. She had a goal and she needed to reach it. I need something like that; I need a goal that I can see myself reaching every single day. I already have a few goals: graduating from college, paying rent, getting married, etc...but they're not the kind of goals I can see myself reaching towards every day and seeing the progress that I'm making. 

I can't do the cooking thing because I don't make enough money to go out and buy all the ingredients, but I need something. So, I am opening myself up to ideas. I'm tired of having down-in-the-dump days when I feel like I have nothing to live for. I'm tired of crying over the smallest things because I'm bored with nothing to do. 

So, someone help me think of a goal that I can set a deadline to and work at every day. Something that will make me feel good about myself. I'll blog about it daily, promise. :)
