Reclaiming my muchness

This blog post has been stewing in my brain for quite some time lately. Now that doesn't mean that it will blow your mind or have any literary value, but at least it's better than a line or two and a music video. Well... at least I hope it is. I'll try to be as open as possible even if that leads you all to see me as a crazy, however, some things still hurt and still terrify me even though it has been over seven years. For the past six months friends have asked me how I've overcome my weaknesses and found zeal for life. Well, here's my story: Fall of 2008, I moved away from home, started my first semester of college, broke it off with my boyfriend of about three years, started dating another guy, and jumped right into the Army ROTC program at BYU by joining the Ranger Challenge team. My life was drastically changed. Being human - a creature of habit - I had adverse reactions to these changes. In high school I was deeply invested in my schooling. I did all of ...

Blog Force

Here I am, forcing a real blog post, and not just one with a sentence and a music video. We'll see how this turns out seeing as I haven't been in the mood to blog. It's Christmas Eve. And it doesn't even feel like Christmas. I'm not excited. It's really odd. And I don't much like it. On a completely unrelated note, I saw Tangled today, and it definitely is one of my new favorite movies. I laughed so hard through almost the entire movie. It was great. Go see it people. I got to go snowboarding two days ago. It was fantastic. My brothers and I had fun getting lost in the trees. I love snowboarding. I was so sore yesterday, but it was the best kind of sore. Facebook is distracting me from blogging... That's sad. This blog post is failing. I'm going to put it out of its misery. Buh-bye. Oh, one more thing. My friend Brad is gone from facebook again, and now he's gone from blogger. And also my phone lost his number. Brad, I feel like...

Day 30 - Favorite song this time last year.

Image
So I have no flipper clue what my favorite song was one year ago, so instead I'm posting the song of the week with this awesome animated modern dance with it. I love this song and this video. Enjoy. "World Spins Madly On" - The Weepies

Day 29 - A song from your childhood

Image
Backstreet Boys all the way. Backstreet Boys - Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)

Day 28 - A song that makes you feel guilty

Image
Not even a pause to think. It's a long story, but this always makes me feel guilty. I hate this song so much, yet I keep it on my iPod. Tonight the Heartache's on Me - Dixie Chicks

Day 27 - A song you wish you could play.

Image
Two of many. And I actually think my awesome younger sister can play both. First, "Butterflies and Hurricanes" Second, "Rhapsody in Blue"

Day 26 - A song you can play on an instrument

Image
This is about the ONLY song I can play. Dark Horse by David Lanz. And this person put pictures of dark horses to the music. Loverly, I know.

Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh

Image
"Star Wars" by Moosebutter

Day 24 - A song you want played at your funeral

Image
This one was easy. Ashokan Farewell. I love this song. But I like Jenny Oaks Baker's rendition better. Either way, the song moves me to tears and fills me with the spirit and a sense of nostalgia.

Day 23- A song you want played at your wedding.

Image
I've never considered the music I want associated with my wedding. I'm not the girl who has it all planned out so this one was difficult. I don't know if I want this played, but I do think it's a good song. Extreme - More Than Words

Day 22 - A song you listen to when you're sad

Image
Smile - Sung by Michael Jackson. And I love Charlie Chaplin. He makes me so giddy.

Day 21 - A song you listen to when you're happy

Image
I love Michael. His style is so smooth and just plain good. Michael Bublé - Feeling Good

Day 20 - A song you listen to you when you're angry

Image
This is my I'm-powerful-and-gonna-stick-it-to-the-world song. It's a good one. Fireflight - Unbreakable.

Day 19 - A song from your favorite album

Image
Favorite album is like favorite band or favorite song. Nonexistent. But I do love this album. Smash Mouth's Astro Lounge. The song I chose: "I Just Wanna See"

Day 18 - A song you wish you heard on the radio

Image
The Hoosiers - Cops and Robbers Never in my life have I heard this on the radio, but it is a fantastic song. Love!

Day 17 - A song you hear on the radio

Image
Phoenix - 1901 (US Version) I like this song lots. :)

Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate

"Sugar We're Going Down" - Fallout Boy. I loved it because it was catchy then I listened to the lyrics. I hate it. I hate it so much.

Day 15 - A song that describes you

Image
I didn't even have to think. Dixie Chicks - "Cowboy Take Me Away" When I first loved this song it was for romantic reasons with my first boyfriend. (Hey Cowboy, how you doing?) But now it just describes almost exactly what I want in life. I'm just waiting for my cowboy to find me and make it happen. I chose a vid with the lyrics. Sorry the creator is the kind of person that capitalizes every word. Yeah, it bothers me too.

Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love

Image
I cheated and picked two. But their the same artist. Lostprophets - "The Fake Sound of Progress" and "A Thousand Apologies" I pretty sure people wouldn't expect these because I'm a girl. A happy hyper girl. These songs are a little too hard for a happy hyper girl, but I love them.

Day 13 - Guilty pleasure song

Image
Normally, if you spell your name with weird punctuation I'll leave you alone and act indifferent towards you when really I think you're annoying and juvenile. Well... I love this song...So much. Ke$ha - Your Love Is My Drug

Day 12 - A song from a band you hate.

Well... like the least favorite song post, I don't want to post songs I dislike on here. So I'll just say anything by Fall Out Boy. For some reason I hate them with a passion. Well I don't know them as people, but I hate them musically. I know, so many of you disagree with me, but it makes no difference to me how awesome you claim them to be. Peace out.
