haklsewdfjaosdf.... yeah something like that.

I want to escape it all for a while.

Yup. All of it.

I love all the wonderful things I have in my life, like family and friends, band, hobbies and talents, and the oppertunity for education... But right now I just want to run away for a good week and cuddle up in a warm blanket, watch the snow fall while I am sitting by the fire, sipping my hot cocoa and listening to the most relaxing and meditative songs I can find.

I love people, but I want them to just learn to shut up sometimes. Like, learn to keep your mouth shut, learn when to say what, and learn to read people before you explode with some story that no one really wants to hear. Am I guilty of all these things? You betcha. But I'm working on it. I'm sure others are too, but come on. You can try a little harder.

Well I do love you all, just a bit stressed right now. So I'm off to pack for the working "vacation" that we call tour. Have a swell day.

Falling

We're falling so fast
It's hard to believe that it's all in the past
We were broken
From day to day,
Waiting on signs and looking for a way

To find ourselves again.
We paid the price,
Look in my eyes and you'll see,
A healing heart.
And things will start to line up perfectly


And maybe we will add more to this thing later. But, that's it for now. :)

Emotions- You kinda suck.

How can drama come into your life when you try your hardest to avoid those problems? Maybe I am just thinking too much about everything that is going on, and maybe I am just stressed an it's all adding up. Or maybe I haven't had enough drama in my life so it all decided to present itself now.

Or maybe it's not drama at all, but I am feeling like it is.

Who knows. Either way, I just feel weird about everything right now. The only thing that sounds nice is just to curl up by the fire and cuddle with some friends and laugh about stupid things all day and eat a big fat tub of rich, creamy Hagen Daz ice cream. The kind that has like 300 calories for half a cup.

And I don't mean to sound like a depressed little one, for that I am not. I generally am quite happy! But I think it's just one of those kinda feelings that hits everyone every now and again.

But on a happier note, the rain definately makes me smile. Gotta love being wrapped up in a warm hoodie while listening to the soft rain. Nothin like it. :)

FAILURE... Meh, it ain't so bad.

You know... sometimes we all get a little bit down, and feel like we just aren't good enough for something, or that we can never be successful. I mean, have you ever just tried to do something and failed terribly? And it wasn't even an epic fail where you messed up so bad it was funny or entertaining? It just sucked?

What's that you say? You have?

Good. You're normal.

Guess what? A lot of people have failed. And not only that, a lot of very successful people have failed time and time again. Want some facts? Listen up...

The Beatles, possibly one of the most successful and famous bands in the history of music, were rejected the first time they went to a recording studio.

Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper for not having enough originality and imagination.

Good ol' Abe Lincoln had so many things happen to him and on top of the fact he lost 8 elections.

That's just to name a few, and they are some of the most iconic people in modern history. There are many others... Just look up someone famous and I am sure they had their share of failure somewhere in their life.

The thing that separates the people who fail and the people who succeed isn't the number of times they have fallen, or how bad they messed up, or how many times they were mocked and looked down upon. No, it's the fact that the people who fail gave up. They let the world get to them. They let someone else tell them what they were worth. Don't let someone else tell you what your best is. And don't limit yourself by saying you know what your best is without testing your own limits.

Yeah, I know failure sucks, we've all been there. But Just don't let it get to you. You're better than that.
