Song of the week: White Horse

So for the song of the week I have choosen "White Horse" by Taylor Swift. It's music video and the lyrics are moving. It's really about the time when your fairy tale thoughts hit reality.

Song of the week: I Dare you to Move

Well every friday I have decided to release a song of the week. I will pick a song that has either been in my head all week or that I just really love.

Why friday? Cause friday is my favorite day of the week, even if it means that my break is almost over.

It's 'Dare You to Move' by Switchfoot this week.

Why? Because I think we could all use something to push us foreward right now. Some of you are going through some rough times and I myself dare you to move. I am taking this task on myself too =).

Uh oh... I'm pulling the race card.. or am I?

So I was checking WYOTK's past videos. WYTOK stands for the website What You Ought To Know. If you haven't been on this website, then you really should. It's a really amazing site. Anyway, I was checking the past videos and one of them caught my eye. It's from may of last year, but it's still great, and because I think you all should watch it

I love the point it makes. It seems ridiculous that we have to pay for our ancestors mistakes. Just the fact that President Barrack Obama said it was a big day for African Americans everywhere because it means we are moving foreword is racist. I mean think about it, if we really were moving foreword, people wouldn't have voted for him just because he was black. Also it wouldn't be a big day because he was black, it would be a good day because he was becoming president. I am not saying everyone voted for him because he was black, but common you people did. If our United States really wasn't racist and we were moving foreword into a good direction, the fact that he was black wouldn't have come up in the first place.

Equal opportunity, that's what I believe. The fact that African Americans get more money and get a better education down plays them. They are strong people, just like us. It's the same way for women. I think that because I have a better chance at getting my engineering degree than a guy, it down plays me. I want to be out on the field with an equal opportunity.

I think sure we have moved foreword, but we have also started to turn the other way. Tell me what you think, and go by the rules the Brett says in the video. If this post offends you, then you need to take a good look at yourself and flame responsibly.

Writing: Don't Need

I don't need
More advice
Only I know
What is good for me

I don't need
Someone to help
To set me up
I can stand tall

I don't need
Someone to tell me
Where I have been
What I have done

I don't need
Someone to try
To fix my own problem
They are my problems

So stop
Giving me advice
Seting me up
I can handle myself

Happy V Day =)

Happy Valentines day guys. I have a gift for some of you. Look for your name in the archive to the right. This is my way of showing I care and saying thank you. =)

Amber

Love ya
Like a sister
Couldn’t do anything
Without you

Our friendship
So strong
Not even any small fights
Can break it

Sometimes
I worry about
Our separation
Not seeing eye to eye

But I know
We are strong
You will be here
Till the end

So will I
Best friend ever
Wouldn’t trade you
For the world

Elsha

My second mom
My advice giver
My gossip girl
My great friend

Always there
To make sure
I’m doing ok
And having no regrets

Always up
For giving advice
Even if I don’t always
Listen to it clearly

Always listening
When I need to be heard
Telling me
To stop being pessimistic

My FicMom
Love ya chica
Never stop telling
What I need to hear

Garrett

Listener
No one can ever tell
By first glance
Who you really are

Caring
You should show
The world how caring
You truly are

Always around
Even at the worst times
Just to listen
Just to talk

We are at
The same level
We understand
What we are going through

My listener
Never stop listening
Never stop telling me
What brings me up

Emily

Even though
We both hate this day
I think you deserve
A valentine gift

For understanding
Helping me
Through a lot of times

Giving the input
Just when I need it

For cheering me up
Funny jokes
Funny times

That I care
And who cupid really is [ ; ) ]

Ficlets Buds

To the rest
The amount
Of thank yous needed
Would take years

So one grand thank you
Each person brings
Something to the table
Something I can’t to without

One thing
You all do
Is make sure
I am heard

That is the best
Gift anyone
Could ever show
So thank you

My ficlet buddies
Never stop hearing me
I need to when
I am being ridiculous

Guess

This is to
The guy
That will never
Read it

This is to
The guy has a smile
That could make
Anyone smile back

This is to
The guy that I am
Going after
I am trying my best

This is to
The guy I act stupid around
I want you
To see the real me

This is to
The guy I like
Never stop being around
Cause I want to see where this leads

Taylor

Had some rough times
Moved away from that
I hope we can get
Our friendship back

I hope
You’re doing well
Haven’t talked much
Almost nothing to say

The past
Is just history
I am never
Ever going back

So hears to you
Taught me a lot
You may not realize
What came out of this

I came out
With an open mind
Knowing that no matter
How hard you fall you can come back

Amanda

You give me
Some sort of leg
To stand on
At school

I am not afraid
To tell you
What happened
Even the worst

Good listener
Thank you
For listening to me
Even when I sound ridiculous

Good friend
Many inside jokes
From blankets in cars
To talking about your boyfriend (He so is =D)

That might
Have just made you mad
But that’s ok
Cause you’re a good friend anyway

Writing: Not Lucky Enough

I am so sick
Of all of this
Maybe I should
Just give up

Maybe I should
Just accept that
Things are never
Going to work out

I wish you knew
I do things I do
Because I want you
Just you

I don't want
Just a guy
That likes me,
I want a good guy

One that will
Talk to me
Laugh when I need it
Be serious when I dont

Show me a good time
Smile because you know
I melt just looking at it
I wish you knew

That must be
To much to ask for
That must be
Not close enough to reality

I might
Just let go
Of my dwindeling hope
I wish I was lucky enough

Writing: If You...

If you knew
How happy
You make me
What would you say

If you saw
How your smile
Makes me melt
My heart races

If you realized
That your eyes
Are easy to get lost
Just by looking

If you heard
About how
You take
My breath away

If you felt
What I feel
So comforting
Warming and exciting

If you knew
How I felt
I search for the truth
In your eyes and in your voice.

Writing: Alone You and Me

You feel great
Deep down
About how
You love him

Deep down
I love to chase
And hope for
Just something more

You say
You're alone
But not totally
Just differently

I am
Alone in every way
Tired of waiting
The chase tires me

You don't Break off
What hurts you
Cause you love him

I don't
Just give up
The fight
Hope is everything

You feel love
You see his face
You have butterflies
You feel alone

I feel crazy
I fall fast
I try to hard
I feel alone

In the end
Whats the difference
It hits us the same
But one of us is totally alone

Writing: Reality is Never This Good

The scene is set
I see you
You stand out
In the crowd

Now its just
Just you and me
Doesnt matter
How we got here

We get closer
Everything around fades
No background
Only you

Our hands link
And our faces lock
Your brown eyes
Caught in a trance

I go in for the kiss
Feelings explode
Unlike anything
Could this be a dream?

Waking up
Feeling disappointed
Reality is never this good
It may never be

Llay it all out there
Just you and me
Got nothing left
To loose

No more fooling
No more being desperate
No more regrets
Just you and me

I have been through
Enough and No one
Knows all of it
As much as me

So I'm laying
It all out
Going all in
You in?

Writing: Move or Stand Still

What do you do
When your stuck
Between two feelings
That drive you nuts

When your sick
Of being lonely
And not having
Someone to hold

When you don't
Just don't want
To hear the word
Wait anymore

But you just don't
You don't want to
Fail again
Hear no again

What do you do?
I am looking at you
I don't know whether
To move or stand still

Writing: When Looking Into Your Eyes

sometimes I realize
How silly
I am acting
How stupid
I have been
Usually its to late
I have no excuses
For any of it
But I can think
Very clearly
When looking
Into your eyes

Writing: Hard to Wait

Hard to wait
When I have been
And nothing good
Has come

Hard to sit back
And see others
So happy
Sick of that

Hard to not want
What has been kept
from me
For so long

Hard to stop

Being silly

Acting stupid

Around you

Writing: From Where I Stand

A smile
A laugh
A sweet voice
Something new

A tear
A frown
A lonely feeling
Somethings never change

I stand
In the middle
New colliding
With old

Wishing to finally
Just finally step
Free of the past
Free from hurt

Hoping I can
Not repeat
The same pattern
Need the new

Wont you
Just take me
From where I stand
Don't want to be alone
