Emotionally Charged Songs

Generally, songs do not make me cry. However, I have strong emotional attachments to certain songs.


Either Way by Guster

This isn't a big cry song, but I'm if I am in the right mood it can bring the tears. This is probably my favorite song of all time. It was that song that made me fall in love with the band. The lyrics are beautiful and haunting...I so love it. I guess they sort of remind me of me...especially the person I was at the time I heard the song and the person I have become in the past few years.

Guster by So Long

Again, this isn't a huge tear jerker, but the lyrics can get me if I am in a certain mindset. These lyrics remind me of the one relationship I honestly wish would have ended differently, but at the same time I have no regrets. The relationship was short, but it taught me what love really feels like. I can only hope to find that feeling again. I fell in love with a person, but the man he became when he demons came to play I didn't stand a chance. As much as I miss him, I know I can't be with the person he becomes when he doesn't take his antidepressants like he should. I don't regret moving on. It had to be done. He broke my heart, I will probably always miss him, but I know I can't put myself though all of it again.

Who I Am by Jessica Andrews

Yes...I picked the karaoke graphic for this one (although I do prefer the chartbuster version over the Sound Choice. I work for a dj/karaoke company of course I know the difference)...and I did it on purpose. This song isn't Guster...and to make it worse it is country (nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo) but this song I sang because we were doing "Russian Roulette" Karaoke (bar is dead, and we just start picking songs we never have sang before...and I knew this one from my Laredo days), is now my "show closer/Everything But Mine" (and only about 3 of you will get that...but oh well) song. I love it because lyrically it is my song. It again doesn't always make me cry, but sometimes I just really need to hear it.

Challenging Your Writing

Blogging is easy for me. In an attempt to start shaking up my writing, I decided to start doing a writing workshop and trying some new writing prompts. Trying to get my blog back up in shape has been harder than I thought it would be. I am feeling like writing again, but I need variety. It has been fun trying new topics. Still, I was always picking the safe ones. This week, the list came to my inbox and the one I was instantly drawn to was of course the easy one. However, there was another prompt that was nagging at me. "What I lack" Here is the deal: I don't want to always write about negative stuff. This would be a negative blog. That wasn't the worst of it. I knew it was a topic I would have a hard time putting into words. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I am just  not sure how to put some of these feelings in words I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't shake it. I wrote the blog. It is far from the best thi...

What Does One Wear??

Image
On May 21, I am attending Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio's Commencement. My mother was a student there, and she would have graduated this May. The college has decided to award her a posthumous degree. This is very kind, and we are honored they have decided to do this. Today I was trying to  figure out my plan for that day, when it occurred to me: What does one wear to accept a degree for their mother (who died nearly a year ago)? Well black doesn't seem fitting (and there goes half my wardrobe) It cannot be too short It cannot be to low cut (there goes most of the rest of my wardrobe). So what are my options? Very obviously this is not going to work: Maybe something like this, but not in Black? This had potential...until I noticed those were skulls not polka dots This has potential Then I was distracted by this (but....it is on sale!!) Okay...more like this? I just don't know...any suggestions?
