Doctors

I'm getting really sick of all these stupid plastic surgery shows.
one in particular--the Doctors.
It's actually on right now, and this episode is all about changing your body to get rid of your insecurities. Which is nice that they won't be insecure anymore, but why were they in the first place? they're all beautiful people, and I can't even see what wrong with them. This one girl had some of her gums removed because she thought her teeth were too small. Another got surgery so that she'd be taller because she though she was too short...
I don't get why people can't just except themselves...

Kanye Gets an F

I don't know if you saw the AMA's last night, but if you did you saw Kanye West give a very odd speech, while wearing a very odd fur tail...I did however like his message. He spoke about breaking down barriers in music, crossing the lines of stereotypes and redefining music altogether. I'm all for that, and honestly, in the main stream realm that needs to happen--and soon.
So this morning I went and bought the new Kanye album. Listened to it. And now I am utterly confused. It seems like in his attempt to "re-define" music, he lost his taste. I was expecting to hear a little bit of Lockdown in every song but instead you get this weird cross over between T-Pain and Hellogoodbye. I think he's got good motives, but he definitely missed the mark.

New!

today was awesome!
Went over to Nikki's and we found a bunch of new stuff we can do that doesn't involve electronics.
We made art out of construction paper, made a picture frame, and did splatter painting and graffiti/stencil art.
Pretty much the coolest ever!
Friday we're gonna start reading a new book together. Last one we read was "Tuesdays with Morrie"
This time were reading "Jesus wants to save Christians" by Rob Bell.
Doing new things is fun.

MI

Well - California was great except one thing - I couldn't breathe! The air conditions were terrible because of the fires that were spreading around. When my dad and I landed in Detroit, we both let out a simultaneous "ahhhh". I'm starting to appreciate the MI weather a little more than I have previously.

Home-Where I Wanted To Go-Home

When ever I go to California, I really feel like I'm at home. Staying at my grandmass house is a great feeling. The smell, the cowboy/cowgirl decor, even the feel of the carpet-everything just fits.

It feels really good to see my sister again! We started to become best friends right when she had to leave so it's great to catch back up. Today we're goin to hangout at her shcool and then to Hunnington beach. It's gonna be awesome!

We All Deserve Something

I realize it's all the same
in the end
where you go is where you're gonna stay
so I wanna know, if i am saved.
Am I saved? Am I saved?
Where I'm going's where I'm gonna stay
Am I saved? Am I saved?
Because I'm tired,
of living, this way....


totally inspired by the end of "I Can Barely Beathe"
by Manchester Orchestra

i'm such a republican...

LEAVE HEALTH CARE ALONE!
the government won't fix our problems!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

I can't wait for Christmas! Seeing the snow outside totally pumped me up for it.
I really can't stand thanksgiving though. Not because I'm not thankful for things but because all you do is sit at home, and aren't aloud to go anywhere just because your mother is making dinner that won't be served until 7 o'clock. And I know that it's a day of thanks, but who the heck sits around all day just being thankful for everything!? Any who, Bring on the winter, cause I'm pumped this year!

Moving On

I deleted my last blog because Scott brought it to my attention that it was an ignorant thing to say. Here's how I feel about the outcome of the election: Congratulations Obama. I'm not going to be fighting for McCain or for the republicans anymore. We lost and that's obvious, so I accknowledge that and move on. I'm hearing too many people still fight about it and making claims about how Barack is better than McCain or vis versa, and it doesn't matter! it's over.

If we keep trying to debate it, we'll get no where and it will only make things worse. I am dissapointed that he will be my president, but bottom line is, He is. So I'll respect him and pray for him, and more importantly, pray for the people of this country.

I myself am still tempted to make remarks about Obama, but that's just because I'm a sore loser. But please, just stop disbuting what's done with and move on.

on an unrelated note-please take the time to listen to the band Why? they're awesome.

My Sister's Awesome

It's Not So Much...

I'm not too disappointed about Barack being the president, i mean I am but I'll get over that. What's worse is that Proposal 2 passed. I just don't understand people. I think this country made a HUGE mistake, and we're about to see it unfold right before our eyes.

For those of you who voted for him, hey atleast you voted. and congratulations, you won. But I hope you did the right thing...

Where's The Line?

I'm finding it incredibly hard to find the line between a calling and a selfish desire. I've struggled with this for a long time. And, it's a shame that I feel ashamed to tell the guys, cuz i wish they'd understand, but I 'm not sure they will. It's not that I want to abandon them, I just feel called to do something else, and it just happens that I also want to do what I feel called to. I never thought it would be so hard to be honest...and honestly I'm sick of doing something I don't like. and quite frankly, I'm sick of the attitude. I should be able to do and express myself in ways I want. I just wish they wouldn't take it so personally.

Open Up Your Eyes

Coldplay was amazing last night! They opened their set with "Life in Technicolor" an instrumental intro to their latest album Viva la Vida, and there was an instant boom of energy in the room! That energy defiantly lasted all night. The best part of the whole show however was during the middle of their set they all start to run off the stage and head our way. I look to my left and see there is another stage with 4 acoustic guitars sitting no more than 10 feet away! I flipped out! (I swear to God I'm such a girl.) From there they played the scientist and they're drummer sang a cover song. It was seriously the most amazing show I've ever been to.

Chris Martin is one the best showmen I've ever seen perform and he had great add-libbing skills. For instance is the song Politic, he says "Give me us, don't give me them, Give me Kid Rock and Eminem" or in God Put a Smile on Your Face, he says "I've gotta say, I'm on my way, to mo-town" hahaha. It was great.

For those who are not too fond of Coldplay, that's alright, it's your loss ;) But the coolest thing about their live performance is that they really do they're best to make everyone feel a part of something, and that's pretty hard to do when there's 1500+ people, but they accomplish it. I suggest you open up your eyes, and your mind and take a good listen. I think you'll come around.

Things are looking up for me

AC wrote two new songs that are pointing more towards the direction that I've been wanting to go. More of an indie/folk sound, and one song that's almost a mirror of Weezer/BNL. I'm starting to learn to have patience and to talk things out. When you keep it to your self, it'll just pull you down. Althoguh, the songs still aren't exactly where I want to be, they're getting there. And I got to remember that it's a team sport. However, I am still very interested in making my own music. Ahh, how one can only dream.

...And They Were All Yellow!

Today is a good day.
