Happinessx10!!!!!

I absolutely love what I do. Why pursue something if it's not worth the pursuit? If you don't love something enough to put your all into it, to dedicate every fiber of your soul and being into it, then what is the point? Passion is nothing without drive and inspiration. Without drive, passion can be extinguished. It lacks the fuel to propel itself into motion. It is merely a ship without a sail, floating aimlessly on the ocean.
There is also inspiration. Inspiration gives reason and flight to our passions. Without inspiration, we'd be left without a vehicle to pursue what we love the most. I've come to figure this out this past semester. Music is my everything. My heart, my soul, my life. I sing because I cannot live without it. If I were to lose my voice, my life would be diminished. I would lose a part of me that is so near and dear, I don't think I would ever be whole again. Singing inspires me, moves me, pushes me, and challenges me beyond anything that I've ever done. That feeling itself makes life worth living. Like I said, I love what I do:)


I'm done with being afraid. This break has made me realize that in order to be where you want and to truly grow, you need to do things that may seem a little bit scary. I'm going to be making a big change soon. That scares me. It has for a while. But now, with a lot of soul searching and the advice and support of a few good friends, I feel like I have the strength to do it. I've come to the realization that if I really, really, love music and what I do with all of my heart, I have to throw myself to the lions and get on with it. Before...I would not have been okay with that. I like to be in control of things because if I don't have that control, I feel like I'm weak, or I feel like I'm vulnerable. I hate that feeling more than anything else. However, relinquishing this control is also a big step for me...and one of the only ways I can start to grow and become the person that I am meant to be. Ahh...moments of clarity are wonderful :-D

Well...hehe

Religion is Like Wine:

Too much will kill you for sure.

Long before that it makes you stupid, tedious to have around, and a danger to yourself and others.

In moderation it makes many people happy, which is reason enough for it, I guess. Too bad even a little makes some people mean. It just makes me sleepy.

Some claim it has health benefits. Maybe so, but I can't help wondering if grape juice would work as well.

If you enjoy it, and can handle it, go for it. But I won't be joining you, and I'd rather not have to say so twice.

Really, drink up. I'll be happy to have you around until you get annoying. Just remember, if you turn into a loud-mouthed asshole or start a fight, the wine is no excuse.

Finally, if you ever find it's ruining your life, and can't quit by yourself, I'm here to help.

Brainstorm!

So yeah...this is the product of a brainstorm...lyrics? New Project!!!


I want to go to a place
Where things make sense inside my head.
Where people were
Who they said they were
And not a fallacy instead.

But I guess that is impossible
Because it’s far too easy
To slip that mask on
And pretend you are
Something that you’re not.

I want to go to a place
Where right was right
And wrong meant bad.
Where people were kind, not cruel
and we laughed and never cried.

But I guess that’s too much to ask for
When we’re hiding from ourselves.
We lie to keep up
This horrible façade
Just to stay alive.

I want to go to a place
Where people are who they said they were.

But I guess that’s too much to ask for
Because words mean nothing anymore.
You are not who you said you were.
I’m not who you thought I was.
But we’ll just keep telling our tales
Pretending so we can forget.


So we’ll keep spinning our lies,
Moving on with our lives,
In order to forget.

Remember Peace

I was bored tonight, so I wrote this. Hope you all like it:-).


Forget about pain
Forget about strife
Forget about anger
Forget about life.
Forget about hope
Forget about hate
Forget about love
Forget about fate.
Forget about people
Forget about stars
Forget about oil
Forget about cars.
Forget about sex
Forget about race
Forget about boundaries
Forget about your place.
Forget about hatred
Forget about pride
Think of the people who've fought
and the people who've died.
In order to stop the hatred
We need to let the violence cease
In order to make any progress,
We must Remember Peace.
