LMFAO & The Far East Movement

I want to go to this concert, I've been listening to the radio religiously today. I'm bound and determined to win some tickets! I adore Far East Movement and well, LMFAO just makes me want to dance. Oh man, I feel like my life would be complete if I went. We shall see :) 

Tad Bits, muy interesante.

This evening I found out that happiness shouldn't be a target, necessarily, but something you work toward on a daily basis. Sure, it's attainable but it's constantly changing. Being happy isn't buying new things. Being happy is knowing even when you're in the darkest of dark places in your life that everything will be alright. It's that peaceful feeling that comes over an individual in the saddest moments. 

I'm becoming the LDS person I had always hoped and wished and prayed for. A temple worthy member who loves everyone in abundance no matter their faith. A member who understands the promises of the Lord. A member who wants and loves to go to church and church related activities. I've always wanted this, and finally I have it! I'm a very blessed individual and I'm so humble in knowing that my Father in heaven knows me and love me for who and what I am. I know that he will never leave my side. 

I can figure out the point of anything. My family says I don't have common sense. I get very offended when they say this. I feel like I'm a very smart, independent, fun-loving individual. Just because I wouldn't necessarily know what to do if I was being robbed doesn't mean much, in reality. But, if that's the best thing that you can come up with, apparently I haven't done enough things in life that prove I don't have common sense. So, I may do a few things without necessarily using my head, but so does everyone else in the world. What is your point? I think I've done pretty good on my own for almost two years and that says something. 

LOVE LIFE! 

Waiting . . .

This song is important to my heart. It taught me to never give up, and it also taught me that I had to become the change, well as much of it as the world would let me. 

Me and all my friends 
We're all misunderstood 
They say we stand for nothing and 
There's no way we ever could 

Now we see everything that's going wrong 
With the world and those who lead it 
We just feel like we don't have the means 
To rise above and beat it 

So we keep waiting 
Waiting on the world to change 
We keep on waiting 
Waiting on the world to change 

It's hard to beat the system 
When we're standing at a distance 
So we keep waiting 
Waiting on the world to change 

Now if we had the power 
To bring our neighbors home from war 
They would have never missed a Christmas 
No more ribbons on their door 
And when you trust your television 
What you get is what you got 
Cause when they own the information, oh 
They can bend it all they want 

That's why we're waiting 
Waiting on the world to change 
We keep on waiting 
Waiting on the world to change 

It's not that we don't care, 
We just know that the fight ain't fair 
So we keep on waiting 
Waiting on the world to change 

And we're still waiting 
Waiting on the world to change 
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change 
One day our generation 
Is gonna rule the population 
So we keep on waiting 
Waiting on the world to change 

We keep on waiting 
Waiting on the world to change

Wrapping up the week (Cause my weeks end on Sunday)

1. I will not compare myself to other people. It's not worth it. I will compare myself to myself. Meaning, I need to start keeping a journal, at least a weekly journal. Or, blog it off!

2. I'm doing a juice cleanse, and no I'm not excited! But, secretly . . . I am. I cannot wait to start losing where I need to be losing. And gaining where I need to gaining. Physically, mentally and spiritually.

3. Getting rid of racism is now something I plan to work harder at achieving through my lifetime.

4. I learned that you can drink Herbal Tea, so long as it doesn't contain tannic acid.

Just because you don't agree with my boyfriend, doesn't mean that you have power over me. I do things you disagree with that do not even effect you. You do things I disagree with that effect not only me, but other human beings that deserve more than what you give. And I'm still waiting for that apology. Today in church I was attempting to figure out how to forgive you, and it just came to me that I need to forgive you once you are apologetic toward me for hurting my feelings. I don't see this happening anytime soon, and it breaks my heart. RACISM is a disease, and you would be the first person I would cure. 

Tattoo . . .

My next tattoo will be on my left foot of two hands holding the world. 

To find a picture has been incredibly difficult, but I will not stop

looking for this masterpiece. 

(Or a scripture . . . this too has been something I'm just letting come to me, so I guess we'll see which one wins, the hands holding the world or the scripture.) Either way it will be beautiful! :) 

A Walk Through Hell

In middle school, chica-wang introduced this amazing band to me. I've loved them sense, and this song seems to follow me around. From middle school, to high school, now on to college. Stefanie was listening to this song one day on the way to I believe, Sweet Tooth Fairy and it made me smile! I then made a mix tape "CD" for Tania and Stefanie with songs that I adore and remind me of them. Now, I just love reminiscing to this amazing song that will never leave my heart. 

And if I could swim, I'd swim out to you in the ocean,
Swim out to where you were floating in the dark.
And if I was blessed, I'd walk on the water you're breathing,
To lend you some air for that heaving, sunken chest.

'Cause they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams,
With your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine.
And they hunt you, and they gut you, and you give in.

And if I was brave, I'd climb up to you on the mountain,
They led you to drink from their fountain spouting lies.
And I'd slay the horrible beast they commissioned
To steer me away from my mission to your eyes.
And I'd stand there, like a soldier, with my foot upon his chest,
With my grin spread, and my arms out, in my bloodstained Sunday's best,
And you'd hold me; I'd remind you who you are under their shell.

I'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes
These soles are useless without you
Through hell for you, let the torturing ensue;
My soul is useless without you...

And if they send a whirlwind, I'd hug it like a harmless little tree.
Or an earthquake, I'd calm it, and I'd bring you back to me.
And I'd hold you in my weak arms like a first born.

I'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes,
These soles are useless without you
Through hell for you, let the torturing ensue;
My soul is useless without you...

Through hell for you
Through hell for you
Without you, without you...

Now I've walked through hell for you.
What's an adventurer to do, 
But rest these feet at home with you?

Ain't No Reason

This song is beautiful, for more than one reason. If you know me, you know that ever word of this song is so raw and true. Being blunt is in my nature. He sings this song amazingly and gives it so much power. Much love to him and this song ... 

Ain't No Reason - Brett Dennen

There ain’t no reason things are this way.

Its how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday. 


Preachers on the podium speakin’ to saints..
Prophet on the sidewalk beggin’ for change,
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name.
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life workin’ for something
Just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushin back their debts.
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking ‘bout nothing, not thinking ‘bout death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.
People walk a tight rope on a razors edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence.

There Ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway.
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall,
Some things never change at all.
Keep on buildin’ prisons, gonna fill them all,
Keep on buildin’ bombs, gonna drop them all.
Workin' your fingers bare to the bone,
Breakin' ya back, make ya sell your soul,
Like a lung thats filled with coal, suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move,
The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
