“a penny for my thoughts,
oh no i’ll sell em for a dollar
they’re worth so much more after i’m a gonner
and maybe then you’ll hear the words that i’ve been singin’
its funny when your dead how people start listenin’” —If I Die Young by The Band Perry

three things.
At this business event/lecture thing like a month ago, the speaker said something that is stuck in my mind. He got on the topic of job interviews and standing out, and said that it is important to know three things that distinguishes yourself from the crowd. He said it is very important to know these during an interview so when the interviewer gives you time to speak about yourself, you don’t just freeze up and and start to sweat (story of my life). All this time has pasted since that evening (all of like a month), and I still have no idea what distinguishes me from the next person. It seems like it would be an easy thing to come up with since i have been living for almost nineteen years now (I am getting old!). But, for some reason, I really cannot think of anything. I mean, I have some ideas but I am really bad at wording things, and I don’t even know if they are things that are distinguishable. I just need three things; it can’t be that hard.

This Is War
30 Seconds To Mars
Song of the day: 30 Seconds To Mars: This is War
I was in the office today discussing new music with the intern when we started talking about getting spiritual truth and biblical principles from music or bands that people don’t necessarily label as Christian artists or songs. Then my mind started to wonder because there have been times where I have listened to music and I’m like whoa, this song is saying something besides just surface level stuff. I think Truth can manifest in any aspect of art, regardless of the labels that society puts on. I think this is a song that fits that scenario.
The first time I heard this song I was making the trek to Denton to pay my rent and I just got the new 30 Seconds To Mars cd. Whenever I get a cd I listen to the whole thing in its entirety and make mental notes about which songs are my favorites. This song struck a chord with my soul because I could def hear some truth in it. I thought it was pretty rad as well. To a person who doesn’t believe this just might be a song, to a person who does this song is totally different. What would be interesting and revolutionary is to have a faith based radio station that played a mixture of music that wasn’t restricted by barriers or genre (within rock), but played music that people could identify with and at the same time help people and meet them right where they are.
I’ve said too much.

Sorry for this super long post, but I just had to post this so I’d never forget this moment. This is for my Lakeview friends who follow me on Tumblr. So, just like every other day- I’ve procrastinated my final paper in English and have to pull something together. I give myself the usual talk…
this is amazing!
i am happy to say that i went to Lakeview, the underdog school of Garland ISD.
thanks Julia for posting this!

missed
i miss all my friends from back home. i feel like i have not talked to y’all in forever. i feel distant, not myself. it’s just not the same. and i am to blame for not even trying to keep in contact with them. like i just have blown people off. i miss those that i used to see everyday during high school. y’all were just always there. friendship was effortless. but i guess this is just the test. if i really care then it would still be effortless, just a little distance between. i am sorry for not putting forth the effort. i miss you.

“Everything is perfect.
Everything is fine.
The rules of life are made up.
The rules only exist in your mind.
Of course there may be courtesies
And closures and laws to abide,
But the zeal with which you play
Relies on where YOU draw the line” —Jason Mraz

Anger and regret are a waste of time and energy. When you mess up, recognize what you did wrong, promise yourself you won’t do it again, take steps to make sure that you’re not in that position again….and move on.
amen.

Tranquil Tuesday.
Swim (Music Box) by Jack’s Mannequin.
You’ve gotta swim, Swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When you’re not so sure you’ll survive
You gotta swim and swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven’t come this far to fall off the earth
The currents will pull you away from your love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim to brighter days despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
I swim
You gotta swim through nights that won’t end
Swim for your families, your lovers, your sisters
And brothers and friends
Yeah you’ve gotta swim through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don’t see their greed as a flaw
The currents will pull us away from our love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open now
I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I’m not giving in
Well I’m not giving in
I swim
You gotta swim, swim in the dark
There’s no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark
Yeah, you’ve gotta swim
Don’t let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you, it’s not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim, swim
Just keep your head above
Swim
