If I Could Transfer Myself Anywhere...

If I could transfer myself anywhere, I would say that I would tranfer myself to a church in the South. I just saw the movie "Last Holliday" starring Queen Latifa and in this movie there is a scene where she goes to an all-black-persons church where they sing anything and dance around and shout! It just seems so different from all the churches I've been to and I have always desired to just sing and dance and shout! I don't really know why, but they always seem to have a certain carisma to them, and I'd love to be apart of it!
And even though I can't transport there right this second, I hope that I can eventually go there some day.

Song Of The Day

For today's song, it's a song that has a very...lifting vibe to it. It's the type of song that you just crank the volume and dance around singing as loud as you can. It's a band that you AND your parents would know. So without rambling on, Whitesnakes "Here I Go Again":

No, I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time

Here I go again, here I go again

Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go

'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known

Song of the Day

For today's song, I chose a song that you will all probably know. It was sung in Titanic by Celine Dion and it is one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard. This song has a long range of notes and it is gorgeous. There is also a story to this song. When I was in grade..7? 8 Maybe? My sister and I tried out for a play (put on by TCP) I had never tried out for a play before, and my music teacher encouraged me to try out for it. So I found out that you had to pick a song from a play, and I chose this one. I got some help with it, and I practiced every day (well Almost!). Anyways, try out day came and I got in there and could not remember the words to the song. I was so nervous that I almost fainted. I'm pretty sure I froze for a good 30 seconds because I did not hear the music start or anything, and the next thing I know the pianist was about 30 seconds into the song. Haha, needless to say I walked out of there and didn't get the part ;) 

So I hope you enjoyed the story, and here's the song! It's called "My Heart Will Go On".

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Song of the day/weekend. (Forgive me?)

I hope you can all forgive me for not posting a "song of the day". I found out Friday morning that Ben broke up with me, and it's been a rough weekend. Mind you, I played football on Saturday and that helped. Anyway, I thought that Taylor Swift's song "Forever and Always" seemed appropriate for today's song for today and the weekend. So without further a due, "Forever and always"

Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye
And we caught onto something
I hold onto the night, you looked me in the eye and told me you loved me

Were you just kidding?
'cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened, please tell me?

'cause one second it was perfect, now you're halfway out the door

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
Cause I was there when you said forever and always

Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide
Like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure

So here's everything coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it baby, I don't think so

Back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything
Back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything

'cause it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'cause I was there when you said forever and always

Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when we said forever and always

And it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it baby, you said forever and always... yeah

Song of the Day

So for today's song, I choose to do the song "Free like the Wild Horses" by Natasha Bedingfield. I find that when I am down, this is a good inspirational song and I find that the lyrics are so moving. I love horses and I think this song is sung beautifully.


Hmmm woah yea...

I feel these 4 walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out... hmm
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
Hoohhh woah woah

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I wanna run too.
Hohhh woah oh woah oh

Breaklessly abandoning my self before you

I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses! [X2]
Hooaah woah oh woah
Yeah

I wanna run with the wild horses

What are Good Friends for?

So I have a GREAT friend. He and I have been friends since high school. And today it occured to me how GREAT of friends we are. Today, we were in writers craft. We had a presentation to do, and he was Supposed to read a line but he didn't! And so I was waiting patiently for him to read the line, and I realized that he wasn't going to, so I read mine. At the end of the presentation, HE blamed ME!
"WHAT?!" You may be thinking, yeah, I WAS TOO! But whatever, life goes on.
Then We were in business class and there was a REALLY long note/mind map that we had to write. I was doing my work, and all he did was distract me. He just kept showing me IRREVELANT things-like a photo of his cousin. COOL?!
Anyways, I kept working away and he didn't and then he asked for my paper. "Well, okay..." I thought, I can forgive him.
Then like 15 minutes ago, I asked him to play on my FAVOURITE game that he has on his ipod thingy, and guess what. He said No.
Kay, sweet! LOVE having great friends like him.

Top 10 ways to get Rid of Your Date

We all make mistakes, but you don't have to suffer the indignity, boredom and embarrassment of suffering through a bad night out with someone who looked and sounded pretty good after seven beers, but in fact is a bore, aesthetically challenged or a straight up nut job.
Here's 10 sure-fire ways to short circuit a dodgy date:

1. After your first drink, suggest to your date that since the night is going so well you two should go immediately to the nearest tattoo parlour and get each other's names inked on your bums.

2. Start complaining about the restraining order your ex has out on you and explain that the stalking charges will be easy to beat in court.

3. Nonchalantly start eating food from your date's plate. Eat more from their plate than they do.

4. Ask your date how much money they have with them. Get them to pay for everything. "I'm a little broke at the moment."

5. Fart repeatedly. Add commentary if necessary.

6. Tell your date you're really into The Forum, Scientology, Anthony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Women Who Run With the Wolves, channelling, extraterrestrial possession and/or re-birthing, and there's a seminar on this weekend and you really should go. "It's only $1,200 and I think you could really benefit from it."

7. Give some backhanded compliments: "You know, you've got great tits. Are they yours?" or "Nice suit. Is it from WalMart?"

8. Call your mother on your mobile in the middle of the movie.

9. Talk incessantly about your obsession with Pee Wee Herman.

10. Never look your date in the eye, and always mumble when you are talking to him/her. Pause at least 20 seconds before answering their questions.




This is taken Directly from http://ezinearticles.com/?Top-10-Ways-To-Get-Rid-Of-A-Bad-Date&id=343055. I just thought that it was hillarious, and thought you'd enjoy it too.

My Pet Peeve

I have SOOO many pet peeves, it's unbelievable. So I guess to narrow it down to one, I'll just write about the one that has affected me recently.
So on friday, I had a HUGE challenge and change test to write. (But no worries, I studied Really hard for it!) I started to read over my test. YES! Matching, multiple choice, a few short answers and BAM! 100% On the test!
I started to match all of the matching questions. Uh oh, one I wasn't Positive on, so I had to guess. But no worries, I was still going to pass this thing. Then I got to the multiple choice, BAM BAM BAM! Done and Done! This test was going great! Then I get to the short answer questions. Ohh, the first one was a long one, but I knew this stuff. So as I am thinking about the answer and how to correctly format my answer to recieve the best possible marks, i hear "CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!" What the...?
"CRUNCH, CRUNCH"   UGHH, WHO was trying to wreck my concentration?! Thaht stupid crunching was all I could hear!
CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH.
The whole room was completely quiet, except for that STUPID crunching! I swear, the people at the other end of the school could've heard that Massive Crunch! I looked back to see what the Hell was going on, and sure enough, someone was eating a bloody carrot. Not something that slightly crunches, NO, that wouldn't be distrubing enough. It HAD to be a carrot! Like, you might as well pull out the new sun chips bag!
I looked back to my sheet of paper, and I noticed that the teacher was watching me. GREEEEATTT, so now he probably thinks that I was talking or cheating with Carrot-Muncher.
I zoomed through the rest of my test, praying that I got all the answers right and then I Left to go down to the library. I ended up recieving an 84%. But I tell you, if that Stupid Crunching sound never occured, I would have got the full out 100%.
Thanks Carrot-Muncher.

Lyrics of the Day

For today's lyrics, I am going to put up the song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" from the Lion King. I choose this song because when I was little, the only movies that I would watch were Barney and The Lion King. I am a romancy-type person, so in the movie this song represents when the two lions fall inlove. Also, my mom and I were singing this song this morning, so without further adue, Can You Feel the Love Tonight:


[Timon:]
I can see what's happening
(What?)
And they don't have a clue
(Who?)
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two.
(Oh.)
[In a sarcastic mock-French accent]
Ze sweet caress of twilight
[Back to normal, but still sarcastic]
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
[FS:]
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
[Simba:]
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me
[Nala:]
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?
[Chorus:]
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
[Timon:]
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
[Pumbaa:]
His carefree days with us are history
[Timon and Pumbaa:]
In short, our pal is doomed

Song of the Day

From now on, I'm going to try and put a song up a day that means something to me. I'll post the lyrics and the story and you guys can let me know what you think!
For today's song, I am putting up the song "Mine" by Taylor Swift. My boyfriend and I have been going out now for over 3 months. (He asked me out Aug. 5, 2010). This will be my kick-off song:

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town and never looked back
I was a flight risk, afraid of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts

I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lyin' on the couch
The moment, I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now

Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the fist time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

But we got bills to pay
We got nothin' figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes

This is what I thought about:

Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the fist time
Taylor Swift Mine lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/taylor-swift-mine-lyrics.html

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

And I remember that fight, two-thirty AM
You said everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street

Braced myself for the goodbye, cause that's all I've ever known
Then, you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone."

You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water.
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter.
She is the best thing that's ever been mine."

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it

I can see it now

She is...

She is beautiful.

She is confident.

She is powerful.

She is athletic.

She is energetic.

She is majestic.

She is sensitive.

She is caring.

She is loving.

She is stubborn.

She is spirited.

She is fast.

She is patient.

She is free.

She is Mine, and I am hers.

My beautiful horse <3

I was thinking about getting a haircut. I always like it when the hairdresser plays with my hair. I enjoy getting it cut and knowing that it is healthy :). But then I was searching around Google, trying to figure out if I wanted to just get it trimmed, or if I wanted a new look. And as I was searching I came across these pictures...

This poor boy. I bet you that he was getting into mischief and his mom decided to just punish him!

The boy must have gotten really upset, and cut his mom's hair like this.

This is a teenager who decided that he wanted to make a statement...Right before picture day.

Clearly, this guy wanted to relive the past...

This is an animal activist who was protraying his commitment by cutting his hair to represent a SKUNK.

No comment...

She was wishing that she was half guy.

And after seeing all of these LOVELY pictures, I have decided that my haircut will be prolonged...

i ' m n o t a f r a i d .

I absolutely LOVE this song, and I suddenly had the urge to post it awhile ago. I ran outta time, and saved it as a draft. So here it finally is, Posted.

I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now

Brad Paisley's "She's Everything"

I was listening to 106.7 the other day, and this song came on. It's brad paisley's "She's Everything". And I couldn't help but notice how much it relates to me. Like, nevermind all the romantic stuff, but the holey pair of jeans.. I admit it. I'm wearing some right now. And I ALWAYS have cheap sunglasses on. I love chocolate, I can be very moody..lol. I LOVE going to the movies, I have brown hair, I am stubborn and "a fighter" when I am mad. I go to church on Sunday's, and wear a cross around my neck. LOVE wine, Love candles. Like, this song just describes me. :) Anyways, I thought it was cool. Here's the song:

She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody

She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowin
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving

[Chorus]
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
because she's everything to me

She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy

She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing

[Repeat chorus]

She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for

And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me

Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah shes everything to me
everything to me

Where did all the gentleman go?

Today, I was walking into the library at school. The bell had just rang and so everyone was still piling out of the library. There is only enough room for one person at a time to go through the detector (right before the door). And as I patiently waited my turn, one young man stopped and waited for me to go through. I got thinking about it, and I realized that while I was standing there for a while, most of the people who went through the detector were male. This got me thinking, because back in the day, the men would always let the ladies go first. They would hold the doors, and would show their consideration, and just be a gentleman. But I waited for a while and none of those guys even waited for a second! And I can't help but think about how many doors I walk through, how many times the guys shove to the front of the line-to get to the back of the bus, to get out of class first, to get into the cafe line to make sure they get the good food.
Do guys not realize that it's the little gestures that catch our (us ladies) attention? That flowers brighten our week, that holding a door makes us feel special, that kissing our forehead makes us feel like a princess. It's these littles things that stand out.
Even though it was a little gesture, waiting for me to go through the door, I will always have some respect for him.
But my question is, why did no one before him stop? Why do I have to get shoved back in line for the bus? Where did all of the gentleman go?
