Reason why I decided to make a blog:
1. I wanted a way to post my thoughts about things [not personal stuff] like movies and music.
2. To ask questions that the general public could answer.
3. last one! To share some of my optimism with people (:
So the first thing I've got to say is...
"Jolene"- white stripes.
What is up with that song? No kidding I LOVE the song but there's something wrong...
first of all its a guy singing it and he's saying "please don't take my man, Jolene"
what is he trying to say?
he's gay? or is this some generalization? I DONT UNDERSTAND!
maybe his exwife wrote the song.
So I'm trying to read the whole Bible in a year. and today im reading Ruth 4.
I was listening to Ode to Joy today and for some reason i felt like it was a really cool "IM GOING TO CONQUER THE WORLD" [not in an evil way but more like a I'm going to give it my all and reach my goals sort of thing] kind of song. It was awesome (:
Song of encouragement:
Raise it up- August Rush Soundtrack

Lyrics:
Far too many pressures in reality
Dealing with the stress and pain and poverty
And I got to be myself because...
there's nobody else for me, no
Chorus:
Hang in there with me
Sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
So don't give upSo don't give up
When pressures come down
Sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make you smile
So raise it up
So raise--
Hang in there with me
Sometimes we need another helping hand to show the way
So don't give up
So don't give up
When pressures come down
Sometimes it seems impossible
That's why we pray.
So raise it up
We pray.
[solo]
Seems to be nothing left for me
Momma's gone
Daddy didn't want to be
Now I'm all by myself
Wondering where is love
Or should I just give up...you know
[solo]
Life falls down on me
Cuts into my soul
But I know I've got the strength to make it through it all
'Cause I'm still standing tall
Breaking through these walls
I'm going to get my own--
Feeling like a motherless child
Hate cuts into my soul
It bending me down
Can't find the smile on the face of a motherless child
Gonna break down these walls
Gonna get my own
You know...Ya, ya, ya, ya.
Hang in there with me
Sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
So don't give up
So don't give up
When pressures come down
Sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make you smile
So raise it up
So raise it up
Hang in there with me
Sometimes it takes another's helping hand to show you the way
So don't give up
So don't give up
When pressures come down
Sometimes it seems impossible
That's why we pray.
