Of Men and Angels, The Rocket Summer

1. Life is extremely frail. One moment you are here, and within a blink you are gone. If you need help or need to talk to someone confidentially, please call the Hope Line. 1-800-SUICIDE

2. Lately I have been faced with decisions and thought that I need to give up, but I am determined to  keep going.

3. My last text message (or IM) ended in these words: say no and disconnect.

4. Cobb Salad with La Brea Bread is what I'm thinking about for dinner sometime soon.

5. On the 1st day of August I was forced to get the idea that my summer is over in 20 days and counting.

6. My music choices have moved from lively and energetic to calm, cool, and meaningful. .

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to dinner with my California cousin, tomorrow my plans include a funeral service that never should have been, and in the evening, "taking the biggest step in 3D" (Step Up 3), and Sunday, I want to slow life down with a hike in the canyon!

Friday Fill-Ins

L.O.V.E. Ashlee Simpson

A friend recently brought this song up today, and it kinda sums up my weekend. On Friday I went to a birthday party, and attended a Wii Smash Brothers party. There are numerous characters that one can play with, but I ended up with choosing a new favorite, "Ice Climbers."
They are super good because you actually have two different characters you control rather than just one. Also I got to talk to two of my favorite people who are getting married. They are so great and perfect couple... much like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail."

My time on Saturday was filled to the brim with my cousin's wedding. It was good to be around family, and to see the beginnings of a new family. I have decided that when I get married there will be no "wedding line," and there will be dancing with loud music.... So loud that those who come and have a problem will leave before even walking in the door.

So really the weekend made me decide that two people together are strong, and something I would like to have.

Hallelujah, Paramore

I exclaim this every Friday as I punch my time card out. Today was especially true, and with plans tonight, I am a little excited.

On a different note, I cannot stand the word Hallelujah in song. I have heard one too many choir songs with it, and with every song comes a different translation. Hall-lay-lu-ya or 'All-ley-lu-yay tend to be popular

Also I really don't get how a venue can charge over- priced tickets for general admission for the Paramore/Jimmy Eat World concert. Makes me sad because the concert would have been killer, and filled with sweat driven beats.
