rainy days and mondays

ok, so it barely rained today, but I definitely had a case of the mondays.

school started back...and with that so did dsc parking problems
i was going to blog about that and other dsc dislikes, but i'm too tired.
i'll save that for tomorrow.
plus i didn't get to see my fav show weeds.
bummer.
sorry nancy botwin, we'll catch up tomorrow...i've missed you.

my post from yesterday expressed my love for music
and how it can pertain to your everday life.
the good times
and the bad.
and
like i said yesterday, i love jack johnson
and one of his songs randomly
(probably not all together randomly
 since i have been listening to his music
 for the past two days straight
 but i digress)
popped into my head
"All At Once"
i have been stressing about school
and other things and low and behold
look at these lyrics...

All at once,

The world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind

Which way will you run
When it's always all around you
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control
Around a song
Some say
There's gonna be the new hell
Some say
It's still too early to tell
Some say
It really ain't no myth at all

Keep askin' ourselves are we really
Strong enough
There's so many things that we got
Too proud of
We're too proud of
We're too proud of

I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off
Instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch em' as they grow
And with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows

But underneath it all
Theres this heart all alone

What about is gone
And it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

Theres a world we've never seen
Theres still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If your waitin on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin as we reach for love
At least somethin we could hold
But i'll reach to you from where time just cant go

What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

sums up my day.
i want so badly to graduate.
those 6 words you see above
don't really express
my undying urge
to graduate.
for someone always full of words
i can't verbally express
the feeling i have inside
of wanting to be done with school.
i've been in school too long
partly my fault
partly dsc's
(will explain further tomorrow)

but the very first verse of this song couldn't better explain
how i am feeling at this moment
"All at once,
The world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind"

jack, unlike plenty of peeps that have come and gone from my life, you never let me down!

sleep tight, readers.
tomorrow will be a new day
and no longer monday.
:)

less than a week left

it is now 6 days until my month without facebook is over.
at times i have missed checking my account and seeing what others are doing
but i can honestly say those times are few and far between.

i have learned alot about myself and people and life in this month
not all due to not checking facebook
but by creating different ways to view what others are doing
and living my life.

school starts monday and i will admit that i am not necessarily dreading it.
its been a long summer so i'm ready for a change.
plus...
monday also marks showtime's series weeds return.

aside from the vulgar language and illegal actions
weeds is probably one of the most well written series
i have ever seen
(aside from will and grace)
the actors are brilliant
and the storylines are hilarious
and mary louise parker is one talented, not to mention beautiful, actress.

this past wednesday my mom brother and i went to montgomery, alabama
for my brother's orientation at aum, where he will be playing basketball
i learned that i am horrible with directions and apparently inherited that from my mother
and that people in alabama really are bad drivers.
i also learned i can not do a hand-stand.
a little side story for you...
i was attempting a hand-stand by doing one up agaisnt a wall
but i was so afraid of tipping to one side and breaking the lamp on the table beside me
so when my mother made fun of me for not be able to complete a hand-stand
without assistance, i explained that i was nervous of breaking the lamp
and with a quick swat of my hand to further explain what i was afraid of
i broke said lamp.

i mean i am not that strong. that lamp had obviously been broken before :)

while caz, my bro, was in orientation, mom and i explored montgomery

not too bad other than the fact we got lost 4 different times.

ran into some people who used to live in dalton

what a small world it is.

we went into some boutiques

and i found the coolest wrap

you can wear it 100 ways!

inexpensive and adorable. check it out.

i'm a sucker for a good quote

i ran across two while i was shopping

who said shopping couldn't be educational?

one quote was a proverb

"just when the caterpiller

thought the world was over

it became a butterfly"

the other said

"learn to appreciate the small things

because one day

you may realize

they became big things"

just wanted to share.

hope everyone is well!
