To me songs are literature...it is poetry in a sense and i love it. I dont know what i would do with out music. I can listen to a radio all day but you give me a book and i will be miserable!
One of the songs that really hits home with me is 'Does anybody hear her" by Casting Crowns.
She is runningA hundred miles an hour in the wrong directionShe is tryingBut the canyon's ever wideningIn the depths of her cold heartSo she sets out on another misadventure just to findShe's another two years olderAnd she's three more steps behindDoes anybody hear her? Can anybody see?Or does anybody even knows she's going down todayUnder the shadow of our steepleWith all the lost and lonely peopleSearching for the hope that's tucked away in you and meDoes anybody hear her? Can anybody see?She is yearningFor shelter and affectionThat she never found at homeShe is searchingFor a hero to ride inTo ride in and save the dayAnd in walks her prince charmingAnd he knows just what to sayMomentary lapse of reasonAnd she gives herself awayIf judgement looms under every steepleIf lofty glances from lofty peopleCan't see past her scarlet letterAnd we never even met herHe is runningA hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction[www.azlyrics.com]
that is me to a 't'....it says a lot about society today too...nobody wants to accept people and its a shame....because if people took the time to get to know and understand others...the world would be a better place

Coincidence
coincidence is a word that explains my life.
I dont know why but every time i turn on the radio or the tv it is something related to what im goin through. Jus the other day i turned on Klove, the christian radio station and the song that was on was just what i needed to hear. Almost every country song i hear reminds me of times in my life. Songs bring back so many memories. THey make me remember how i felt when i first heard it and were i was. A lot of them take me back to my childhood and remind me of the trivial things i was going through then- but they seemed so important at the time. I dont know if its just me but i feel like every country song it talkin about me. Well minus all the cheating and stuff haha. I can relate to almost all of them. I can not hear a song in 5 years and when i hear it again i know every word and every emotion seems to come right back. I love how certain things remind me of the way i felt but some feelings aren't so welcome... Just another random thought....ha which pretty consists of my thoughts everyday...RANDOM

Paper #3
So im kinda worried about this 3rd paper because i was kind of dogging turnitin.com. And i had to turn it in to them to be checked for plagiarism. I know that i didn't plagiarize at least not intentionally and i really hope that they dont take it personally. My whole paper was about plagiarism and how i dont think that the ways of determining it are always right. I hope it goes ok. My luck they will call me out on it but hopefully not. I did learn a lot from that paper, suprisingly because i usually already know about my topic but i really did start from scratch on that one.

Why?
Why? Its something I will always ask. We had a speaker today in history and he is a Vietnam war veteran and he shed some light on a few things for me. Life is hard, I realize this, but look at others who have had to endure so much more than you. I look at this man in the later years of his life and he has been through so much more than me. And I have the audacity to complain about how life is so hard. It makes me so sad to think of the things he was faced with at my age. But at the same time I'm sad because of the "little obstacles" in my life right now, and I feel like I'm being ridiculous. I am so blessed to not have to deal with the loss of a close friend or family member but I know that day will come. Whether I lose them to death or because I choose a different path in life; I have to realize that its not in my hands. I have to let go, but if I do, what then? I'm so confused, right now I feel like I want this in life but on the other hand I feel like I need to do this. Life for me is hard right now...but I will never give up! I was given a wonderful chance at life and success and I cant just give that up...I want a lot of things in life but I know that God will always provide me with what I need and I take comfort in knowing that.

Paper Troubles
I have become a procrastination queen! I hate being behind but I feel as though I cant help it. I have found a few sources but I am having trouble finding credible sources. My topic is the psychological and multitasking problems involved with myspace and facebook. The library anna catalog is of no help to me because I tried and it wont bring anything up related to my topic. I find that everytime I use google or yahoo search engines they give me mainly crap sites. But that is a whole other topic in it's self.
