I wanna know, what your feelin.....

Let me know what some of your favorite bands or songs are. I'm just curious to see how different all of our tastes in music are. Look at your ipod for inspiration. How do these songs make you feel? Did it ever help you in your life? Did someone introduce you to this song or band? How did it affect you? <- just some questions to get your mind thinking.....

It's a Hard Life

This song says it all.....Just listen to it and you'll see what I mean. Here are the lyrics for you if you want to sing along.






I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart

This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone

You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart

It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love

I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone

How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
And I'm waiting for love

Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love

Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in ev'ry way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love

New Song!!

So I have decided that I couldn't do a talent show without doing a Queen song, so I have changed my song to "Somebody To Love" by Queen. Queen is one of my favorite bands ever, and I listen to them all the time. This song was tricky to learn but I got it and I'm super excited to be singing it. If you don't know the song here you go:



PS....The talent show is on April 9th...be there or be square.

Zzzzzzz.....

So I just got back from the most boring hour and a half of my life. This was attending a Board of Education Meeting for PIG. Let me start from the beginning.

Once upon a time, I was assigned to take PIG, a class that teaches you the role students play in government. If that wasn't enough torture, you have to attend a town meeting or a Board of Education meeting and have 15 hours of community service. So far I have the BOE meeting down and 2 hours of community service for filling out a voting registration, which I already did online so it was completely pointless, but whatever. So back to the BOE meeting. I was told it was at the District Building at 7:30. So I left my house at 10 after 7. I got there at 7:21. The parking lot wasn't that full but I went inside anyway and saw a bulletin that said "March 17, 2008 BOE meeting 7:00 at T.J Watson." I was like "I have no idea which school that is!!!!" So I figured out that it's the one near Crestview. I felt like a mouse in a maze trying to find the darn school. They didn't put that school in a very convenient spot, I will tell you that much. So finally I got to the school and saw a bunch of cars and I knew I was late. I walked to the front of the building and I was so glad that school looks like AGM (West Corners represent), so I knew exactly where the cafeteria was. I got to the front door and saw a note "Use Cafeteria Door in Back of school." I groaned and then walked all the way to the back, opened the door, and sat down in the back. They were talking about all the money we spend and how much it costs per student and all this stuff with big sums of money I didn't even know this district had. Then they started to talk about JFS and all the additions to it and the renovations they were planning on doing to it. I became a little more intrigued to see that plans for this and decided to take some notes, since my class requires me to do a write up. As Doctor Coon stood up to talk, I saw he had on a dreadful suit jacket, the color of my curtains in my living room which are a hideous green color. It was a really bad flashback to the '80s, which I hope I don't have to return to. His jacket was so distracting, it took the focus off the presentation and onto him. Anyway, then they were talking about moving the sixth graders at JFS to AGM and what not. They wanted to eliminate any distraction from the construction and focus on learning. They were talking about how they might have to switch classrooms three or four times a year to accommodate construction and I also found out that JFS is going to rock now. They are going to have a ton of stuff like two gyms on the same floor, and that second floor, nasty gym is going to be the new library. They also discussed how the schedules will be changed and that language will be required in 7th grade instead of 8th. Oh man, are those kids going to hate that. I also heard this lady whine about how she has four kids that would go to four different schools and how that is going to break the family bond and all this other bologna. All and all, I wasn't too thrilled with the meeting and I would rather get a shot (which I hate with a passion) than sit at another board meeting. Now I have to focus on getting 13 more community service hours. Whoo hooo.....can't wait!!! (NOT)

The Good Old Days

What happened? We all used to be so cute and innocent. Then we all tried to fit in during middle school and that's when the downward trek started. We used to play on the playground, chase the boys around the swing, play kickball together, and said that the opposite sex had the cooties. What happened to those days? Why can't we still do that kind of stuff.
Now girls have their underwear out and wear short skirts that show, well there is no other way to put this but, their Lindsey Lohan. Girls need all the coolest bags and those $250 jeans that rip in a week. They compete with each other and see who's boy friend is hotter and who slept with theirs first. Then to get back at the other, they sleep with their best friend's boy friend and the guys take pictures of what they do with girls in hotels (sound familiar?) Any way all I'm saying is that it's still okay to be a kid. It's still okay to play on the playground and want to swing on the tire swing. We are 17 and 18 years old. We don't need to group up so fast.

*By the way I have no idea who these people are in these pictures*

Where Would You Be?

If I could be anywhere right now I would want to be sitting outside of my house and by my fire pit just curled up in a bunch of blankets with the crackling fire going, just looking at the stars. I love it outside of my house because there are no lights to block the skies amazing-ness. I love falling asleep outside and the smell of the fire. I love it when you're by the fire for a long time and then your clothes and your hair smell of the fire. I love that because I feel almost one with nature...like my body is absorbing it. Just taking the time out to relax by a fire is so great because you can just clear your mind of the bad and think about the good. Have you wondered what is beyond what we see? Wondered what we are missing? Wondered what's beyond, beyond? I do that a lot but I can't fathom it. Although it is too cold to do this now, once it hits about i don't know 50 degrees I'm outside to have a bon fire. Who ever wants to come, is welcome to my house. Marshmallows are the best over the fire but just hanging out and looking at the stars and falling asleep under them is just amazing. The only thing I hate about being outside are the bats that fly around but they don't bother me. As long as I can reminisce, I'll let them live.

Where would you want to be right now if the weather allowed it?
