Day 3

A song that makes you happy

40 Day Dream-Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

I obviously couldn't pick just one, and I don't want this whole music challenge to consist of Mumford & Sons, no matter how hard that may be. On that note, Roll Away Your Stone by M&S also makes me extremely happy! Just saying. Anyways, I remember finding Edward and the Zeros because of their song Home, but I found this song on YouTube and fell in loveeee with it. No joke, it's great. And then I also heard it on satellite radio so that just justified the greatness. But for making me happy, I'd also like to credit Vampire Weekend, Coldplay, and The Avett Brothers. They are literally the only bands I care about anymore.

EW, New Years. Seriously the most overrated celebration in our country besides Christmas, but thats just me. Christmas is so typical and blah. At least everyone has for the most part shunned Valentine's Day, which is good. The only things we have going for us anymore are St Patricks Day, obvi, and 4th of July. Anyways, I'm not doing jack today. Because, I have no life. Actually, no it's not because I have no life. It's because my group of friends split several months ago and literally anyone I know is going to this one girl's house. We kind of, for the most part (?) settled our differences and we said so ourselves that we should try to hangout again, but that will never work. She has a 'guest limit' on her party and has to 'check with her parents.' BULL. Again, just saying. Oh well. At least i'll be with my goood ol' pals

I shlove 'em :). PS: that was at the John Mayer&Avett Brothers concert, where I died and came back to life after every single song. I also qualified for the Oireachtas that day, so thumbs up for August 14th, 2010!

Day 2

Least favorite song

Only Girl (In The World)-Rihanna

I can't stand Rihanna to begin with, and all her songs just make it worse. She has the whiniest voice to ever be spoken and her songs are shit. Rihanna, you're not the only girl in the world. And no man will make you feel like the only one. What about your mommy, or his? I dont think they all of a sudden disappeared off this Earth just because you're gonna screw some guy tonight. And what makes you think it would be a good idea to sing a song asking people what your name is? And it's funny how you wanted a rude boy, when you got a rude boy in Chris Brown. Clearly, you don't like rude boys so dont ask for another one RiRi.

"Hold me like a pillow, make me feel right."

 Like a pillow? So you want him to drool on you? That's logical, i'll take that. 

Tomorrow is the last day of December! Fricking finally, it's been dragging on for so long. But I don't like January either. Just give me St. Patrick's Day (:

Belief is a beautiful armor, it makes for the heaviest sword

I know that I believe in things that can be seen and proven. I believe in the power of music and art; they can produce so much emotion. With dance especially, there's no words traded, it's all interpretation based off of the body language and music and the way the performance transcends throughout everyone. I believe in the mysteries of science and your own being. After all, the average person only knows about their personality and attitude, not so much about little habits or why you do what you do/ act the way you do. I've been an avid believer in that and more but what I've been questioning for a while is religion. I feel like kids only follow a certain religion because of their parents and surrounding, and none of it is ever questioned. It's just "everyone has been telling me about god my whole life so I have to believe in that faith". The problem I have with religon is none of it can really be proven. If god really does/did exist then why doesn't everyone believe in the same one? How can the god Catholics believe in have created the earth, but other religons may not believe that. What is god then? If you believe he's a spirit then you can't say you don't believe in ghosts because they as well would be spirits. But on that note, I do believe in love although you can't see it. I guess you could say I believe in emotions and self awareness. I believe that reincarnation does occur. Straight up, I don't believe in God at the moment. All I know is to each his own.

Day 1

Favorite Song

Timshel by Mumford and Sons

 

This is without a doubt my number one song that i've heard so far in my life. Everything about it is just beautiful. The first few times I ever listened to it I just cried; probably because I was just really stressed and emotional at the time, but I feel like this is the one song that can help me out in any mood. The message behind it is absolutely beautiful. What I get from it is that so many things can tear you down but they will all ultimately not change the person you are and your charachter, and that people can console you and advise you through certain situations, but it's untimately your choice with what you do in the situation.

 

"Death is at your doorstep, and it will steal your innocence, but it will not steal your substance."

"I will tell the night, whisper 'lose your sight', but I can't move the mountains for you."

My life's quote of reason

This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.

Something Borrowed, Emily Giffin
