Random thought: I think songs are like people sometimes.
Sometimes I connect with a song so deeply and understand the pain from its' source (the singer) and why or how they think that way and I want to cry with them and I want to understand them...kinda like some people.
Other times I click with a song immediately so well and if I could play it over and over till I died, I would be happy- and the song just makes me smile every time I hear it or think about it...kinda like some people.
Some songs I feel like I can be myself around, usually because I belt it out at the top of my lungs, and I can sit back, relax and say the stuff I really want to say, stuff that's on my mind...kinda like some people.
Once in a while I'll hear a certain song or type of music that is so irritating I wish I could somehow kill it or relocate it to where I'd never have to hear or see it again, and it makes me angry for whatever reason and they make me want to hurt a little animal to get my aggression out...kinda like some people.
Many times I hear a certain kind of music or a song and I really don't like it at first. Over time, however, I find myself slowly but surely falling in love with it and usually end up being closely acquainted for years...kinda like some people.
Sometimes I'll spend too much time listening to one CD or one band and I get burned out on it and need my space from it, until months or years down the road I re-discover it and love it again...kinda like some people.
And sometimes, on rare occasions, I am changed by music, I soak it up like a sponge, and I let myself be changed by it in whatever way it ends up taking an effect..kinda like some people.
Yep. For me, it's like this. I thank God for the gift of music...kinda like some people :)
Sometimes when I have an idea in my head, especially in regards to me making food, rarely does it turn out as well as I think it will. Well, today for lunch I must say that on a scale of 1 to 10 it pretty much came to like a 9.8. I wanted to try to make some homemade pasta with no recipe just to see if I could do it. It wasn't perfect, but boy howdy, it was close! I've also come to the conclusion that anything with bacon and cheese is just good. So here it is...
Spinach Basil Rosemary Fettuccine tossed with Caramelized Onions, Julienne Bacon, Parmigiano-Reggiano, topped with a sliced Caprese Tomato, Feta Cheese, and a Parmigiano-Reggiano Cracker, drizzled with an Aged Balsamic Reduction
Alrighty then! I'm sure you've been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for me to review this album for you...right? What? You don't give a rat's rear end? Well... that's rude. I'm going to tell you anyway! Hah! I've been excited to hear this for a while now and I've been soaking it up for the past week or so.
Coldplay's new album, Viva La Vida:
First of all, my general impression is: I like it a lot, but it's not mindblowing. For me, some of the songs were spot on, while others didn't really do it for me. More specifically:
Life in Technicolor: My first thought- "Oh crap, this sounds like U2! NOOOO!" I found out later that the guy who produced some of U2's albums did this one, so it's no surprise. This is just an intro song with no words, and it's not a BAD song, per se, but just very different from what I expect from CP.
Cemeteries of London: I like this one a lot. It's dark with a lot of minor notes in it, which is great sometimes. I especially like at minute 1:18 and other places in the song where they sing an anthem-like "La la la". I imagine that will be fabulous singing it with them live with your fists raised.
Lost!: In general, this is one of my favorites in the album simply because of the first line, "Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost, doesn't mean I'll stop." Gives me chills! For a person like me who's mood is severely altered for the better by music, this is the kind of song I'm sure I will sing when things are going lousy and I'll scream it loudly in my car.
42: This sounds a lot like Radiohead, especially after minute 1:33 for over a minute, in my opinion. What I don't like so much about this song is that it seems kind of disconnected. The first part of the song is quite melancholy with lyrics such as "Those who are dead are not dead they're just living in my head"...till they go into a completely different type of song for about a minute, then a completely DIFFERENT type of song the last 3rd of the song. It just didn't flow to me.
Lovers in Japan: I liked this one a lot too, except to me I heard too much Bruce Springsteen who I don't like. Maybe I'll get over that. Anyway, very positive and upbeat. I even like the last half which is a soft piano mix.
Yes: One of my least favorite songs on this album. I don't like his voice so low, it just doesn't sound as good as his high voice. He's pushing it, it seems, and it makes me sad to listen to it.
Viva La Vida: I LOVE THIS SONG. It's by far my favorite on the album. Unfortunately it's going to get overplayed on the radio and I'll get sick of it soon, but I tell you I love everything about it. When I first listened to it all the way through on my iPod in my car (with the great sound system) I got chills and even shed a tear. I know, that's weird, but it's so incredibly powerful and full of emotion, and just mixed really well. It gets me!
Violet Hill: This one's great too. At first I didn't know what to think about the un-Coldplay distortion on the guitar but I think it fits well. The only thing I didn't like was the first 30 seconds of semi-silence- I hate when songs do that.
Strawberry Swing: My second favorite song! I love this one. It's so stinking happy! I'm not exaggerating when I say that when I listen to it I really imagine myself sitting on a swing in the countryside drinking some lemonade at sunset. Love it, love it.
Death and all His Friends: Do NOT like this one. I'll tell you why- it's SO disconnected, it does not flow for me at all. First minute and 30 seconds is cute and nice. After 1:30 it turns into this very less than average alternative rock song with a bad drum beat. The only redeeming part of this song is at minute 2:46, they're all singing this very anthem-like chorus which is really nice. Then at 3:30, the song basically stops silent for a while... then goes back into the first song melody which is boring. My least favorite song by them, I think EVER.
So if you got the CD, what did you think of it? Disagree? Agree?
I've been wanting to spend some time with my nephew, Dylan, and show him some things I know he'd be interested in, so today I had that chance.
He got me while I was up to bat...
Sweet stuff! He likes his aunt cause she lets him listen to rock music in my car :) That's me!
Playing his dream guitar which I would love to somehow get him. He's only 8, but he'll be a tall, dark and handsome skateboarding rockstar some day...if all goes according to my plan. ;)
Kids meals at Moe's, yum!
Waiting out the storm in Starbucks with coffee, hot chocolate, music and books- couldn't spend a rainy afternoon better than that. :)
Lately I've been noticing that a lot of really REALLY nerdy dorky guys are hooking up with gorgeous women. What's up with that? I mean I dig nerds to an extent, but you girls out there who are getting married to complete cheeseheads, please tell me what you see in them! I'm not trying to be mean cause I'm a nerd to the fullest and shouldn't expect to hook up with a total babe. I guess women are just attracted to different things and choose to overlook certain things about their partner. Hmm...either I need to stop being so picky or something is in the water that is making beautiful women fall for modern-day Steve Urkels.
I have a presentation tomorrow morning at a local PCA church. I would appreciate prayers about this! I've never been to the church, (don't even know where it is yet exactly), don't know anyone in the Church either. I'll be speaking during the adult sunday school for about 45 minutes and then they'll show a video of mine for about 10 minutes for the whole church. It's not an enormous crowd, but I get a little nervous before any size of a crowd.
To get home from where I work, I can either choose the highway or the backroads. It's funny cause usually when I'm mentally healthy (I've noticed) I'll take the backroads because the scenery is really nice, especially at sunset...even though it takes more for gas that way. I usually don't take it after dusk because that's when the deer come out and it's kinda hard to 
see them. Last night I took a chance because I really wanted to keep listening to my new Coldplay album (which I will review in the next few days here). I'm usually extremely alert on back roads at night, to the point of looking like an old granny in the front seat. Last night I wasn't, cause I got WAY too much into one of the songs and kinda zoned out. Figures. Cause just as my zoning out set in, a huge deer ran out in the middle of the road in front of me and just stopped. It's almost dark, mind you, and still really hard to see them especially if your headlights don't make their eyes glow. So I slammed on my brakes as hard as I could and blew my horn and yelled at it for a minute. My backpack (with my laptop) and box full of presentation supplies flew to the windshield area and onto the floor, breaking a picture frame with a logo of my ministry on it. Bummer. At least I didn't hit that darn deer though- my mind can't handle buying another car right now.
This Thursday and Friday night in my kitchen was extremely hectic because it's a special evening for parents of the campers. I helped put together a menu, which happens to be vegan. Anyway, it's like a huge amount of sauteed veggies mixed with homemade pesto sauce 
and pasta, topped with some sauteed swiss chard and parm cheese and a bit of pesto on the plate. What makes this meal so difficult is that we are plating this food for every person- like, getting a plate and making the plate look pretty, which I really really enjoy..but also serving them all hot food at ONE TIME. Thursday night wasn't too bad, we had 80 people for the first meal and 80 for the second. Friday night however, kicked my butt. We had 175 people for the first meal and 150 for the second! Oh my goodness, it was insane. We plated about 325 dishes of food in very little time, just two of us. It was madness. And we're doing this every Friday night!!! AAAAHHH!
By the way, I wrote a few days ago about how the kitchen staff treats me with this "Who the **** do you think you are" kind of attitude...but let's just say that has totally gone away. Now they're coming to me for direction about everything, which is good but also kinda annoying too. I'd rather have it that way than the other though. Problem is, the kitchen gets really loud and I can't understand what those women say half the time so I'm always like, "WHAT?! HUH?!" and that gets super annoying after the 100th time in one meal.
Oh, and I had to get up at flipping 5 am this morning to serve 100 college students at work. That suuuuuuuuucked. I DON'T do mornings. I've been tired all day, and for the first time in a very long time, I took a nap during the day (that was not a Sunday, which is becoming more frequent these days).
Wasn't expecting to write all that. Hmm.
I'm in love with this song right now. Don't know what I think about Landon himself and his scraggely hair but I'm really diggin' his tunes. I think he's going to be popular in the underground quite soon. http://youtube.com/watch?v=SQO7IUrqXqY
For the untrained nose, Dancing Waters Antibacterial Hand Soap from Bath and Body works
might smell like normal soap. But not to me... Last week I was in the back seat of a family member's car on our way to B&BW to get some cool sale stuff. While we were driving that person and their friend lit up a blunt. Of course the smell hit my like a ton of bricks and sorta made me wanna gag it was so strong. We got to the store and the people who had been smoking up were shoving scents in my face asking me to smell them and if I liked them. Well, all I smelled was weed on their hands. So I ended up buying this soap right here, and now every time I use it to wash my hands or face, all I smell is weed.
Also, I don't foresee myself ever buying 99 cent toothpaste ever again.
Yucky pants!
Also Also, I was cooking today (for 160 people, ack!) and as I was cleaning freshly cut Swiss Chard leaves, a spider as big as my freaking face was sitting with her eggs on it. I'm not even going to tell you how grossed out / freaked out I was. At Chestnut Ridge we don't worry about hairs getting in the food, we worry about spiders.
I made halusky tonight! Thanks, Miska, for the tips :) I dunno how authentic it is compared to a real Slovak's version, but I really liked it! In fact, it was really close to what I had made for me, which makes me want to rub it in someone's face that I did it and say BOOYAH SUCKERS but that's not really appropriate cause no one said I couldn't do it....
That's not my picture, by the way... Americans, halusky (halooshky) is this fabulous Slovak dish with boiled potato dumplings, chopped thick bacon and this cheese sauce. I can't find the real SK cheese here but apparently it tastes similar to feta and cream cheese together, which I used. I'm lovin' it, oh and if you haven't had it in an omlet yet, do so, cause it'll rock your socks off.
By the way, room temperature vodka by itself is um... interesting unless you've been drinking already. Just throwing that out there. Dunno how I feel about it.
Oh gracious, all of you know how long this has taken, but I am finally over 50%! This makes me very happy. Sure, I'd rather have 100%, but I'm not complaining :D The dollar is still dropping, and I asked my rep at MTW to not tell me how much it has dropped until I get over 50%. Yet again, I'm not complaining.
Summer camp kitchen staff is another world compared to retreat group kitchen staff where I work. I've been cooking for retreat groups for a while now and it's great because I have a whole commercial kitchen at my disposal and it's nice to take charge and be creative with what I serve.
However... from here on out, things are gonna be a little different. The kitchen staff at camp is...different. It's like a sorority of seasoned cooks who spend their whole lives working in kitchens cooking for hundreds of kids. So we got a few new people who haven't worked with me yet. I call this sorority Alpha Jemima. If you don't get it, ask me....
I tell ya, these women give me the dirtiest looks EVER, like "WHO is that white girl and WHAT on earth is she cookin'?!" Seriously, I'm not exaggerating, two days in a row all 3 of the other women cooks have STOPPED what they're doing, stood and leaned against a wall or counter, and stared at me as I do my work for at least 5 minutes! No lie.
Today I had to make cake. Well, just cake is lame. So I made white cake and 
chocolate cake batter and poured them in the pans to look like marble. Then I made frosting with chocolate bar in it with marshmallows on top then chocolate syrup. It was so sweet I wanted to throw up, but I tell ya the kids looooved it and the kitchen staff looked at me like I had just discovered the holy grail.

It was so sweet I wanted to throw up, but I tell ya the kids looooved it and the kitchen staff looked at me like I had just discovered the holy grail.Looking at the time I got to work at 3 pm yesterday till the time we shut down the kitchen tonight, it's already been a huge change. Before when I'd make a suggestion they would give me the evil eye that might as well say "Who do you think you are?". Now, they're asking me for suggestions and how to cook stuff. I'm glad we got it clear that I'm not a moron, cause if they would have kept giving me an attitude like that it would have been a looooong summer. So, I think I've been accepted in Alpha Jemima.
Anyway, the kind of food we serve sucks usually cause it's for 110-225 people. What I mean by that is that the food isn't terrible, but it's not the kind of food that I'm passionate about preparing and serving. Yep.
If you wanna see pictures of this week at camp...
My step-sis Renee just graduated from Navy boot camp last weekend! I'm REALLY proud of her! She's going to "A School" whatever that means, and then back to Chicago for language study school- she's trying to get into the Russian interpretation department. Woohoo!
Would appreciate your prayers for tomorrow. I have two important opportunities/appointments with families from my church that I would really like to be a part of my support team. I am praying that I simply communicate myself clearly and confidently! I read another book (okay well MOST of another book) about raising support and I am realizing my weaknesses in what I'm doing- which is just ASKING FOR HELP face to face. Wow, it's hard for me. Yep, I'll let ya know how it goes- I hope to have many more meetings like this soon. Trying not to get discouraged at what is appearing to be a real lack of interest in my mission from both my church in Mebane and also in Orlando. Not sure if these meetings will change my mindset, but I'm hopeful. I barely slept last night so if I keep writing I will get very pathetic and pitiful so I'm stopping and going to bed! Peace out!
So at the stupid gym I needed something to hold my iPod while I listen to music. I went to the store to see if I could get one of those arm band things but they're like $30! So I tried to make one myself. It works I guess. Oh but then last night I went to Radio Shack and saw one for $7 :(
First of all, I am not a retard. You all know that right? Well I went into Costco today and I felt like one. I had to keep telling myself, "Ande, you're not a retard. You're okay". That place is freaking HUGE!!! It took me like 2 hours to go grocery shopping! Well, I did spend like $550 of company money which was really fun. Anyway, I drove there in a huge Ford pickup truck too- I felt like I was 20 ft. off the ground. I felt very American in my huge truck, walking around a Big Box Mart, putting 40 lbs. of bacon in my cart.
Second, flirting. For those women out there who are really good at flirting...for you men out 
there who love to flirt....or you women/men out there who are normal and have no idea how to flirt....I have a question. When you're driving down the road and some hottie is obviously following you and smiling at you and waving and stuff (like what happened to me today)...what are you supposed to do? I think I said to myself..."Okay, okay, we're flirting. Wait! What do I do? Ummm okay, smile? Right? Am I doing this right?"
I mean what am I supposed to do? Roll down the window and scream, "PULL! OVER! LET'S! MAKE! OUT!!!" I mean, guys, what do you expect women to do that you're stalking on the highway? Women, is it slutty to flirt with passing drivers? Once you do the initial smile/wave/laugh thing, then what?
I'm so confused. I need flirting lessons....or maybe just a guy that takes initiative and doesn't expect me to be all flirty...one or the other.
Okay, this is where I draw the line! The other day at work I had to make sloppy joe's. Do you know what song I was singing the ENTIRE TIME I was cooking and eating? This one! Do you know what character I felt like the ENTIRE TIME I was cooking and eating? Chris Farley in this video... My feeling right now is a mixture of hilarity and sadness... HAHA :\ Sloppy Joe. Slop. Sloppy Joe yeah. For the record, most of the meals for a while are gonna be more summer-campy cause it's coming up in a few weeks- which means no more fun cooking for me :(
Oh and speaking of having music in your head! Seriously, somebody help me. For days now I have been replaying the first 15 seconds of the song Taylor by Jack Johnson in my head... over and over and over! I was learning it on the guitar and now it's stuck :( Good song though and amusing video. Did I mention I want Jack? Mhmm!
I was ganking free wi-fi from one of my neighbors since February...but for some reason it doesn't work now! So now internet is even harder to come by on my own computer and geeks like me get irritated by that.
I think I got some kind of food poisoning by some chicken my mom cooked. It was in the fridge for a long time but marinating...so it didn't stink...so we grilled it at ate it and it was fabulous. But yeah, I won't give you any details whatsoever, but my body was like "WHAAAA! Get out of me!"
I hate the gym. I really do. I have tried for 
years and years to enjoy it and I simply don't. I would rather climb a mountain or kayak down a river all day then go to a gym for 30 minutes, 3x a week. But, well, there are no mountains or kayaks around here and I want to be healthier. Usually I get all pumped like, "YES, the gym! I'm going to be skinny now! Hoo-rah! I'm gung ho healthy" and then 2 weeks later I'm like..."Whatever, screw the gym." So instead I'm going to go with the attitude of "I hate this, let's just get it over with and do it anyway" and MAYBE, just maybe that's what will get me through it. One thing I hate about it is that it's the town gym. No, not a gym in a town of plenty, but THE town gym so everyone and their grandma (really) goes there. Boo. But I will say I've been twice and enjoyed the sauna. 
Monica was right about Starbucks internet! It's kinda gay because getting the internet here is a pain in that you have to have a gift card and register it and you can only sign on for 2 hours a day. BUT it's better than nothing and I'm thankful for it. It's about time they caught on!
If you haven't seen Lars and the Real Girl, you should see it. I liked it. I saw The Bucket List last night too and that was pretty freakin' sad actually, considering my personal past circumstances which I won't get into.
I am still very immature- did you know that about me? Maybe not all the time, but there's a part of me that has the perverted humor of a 12 year old boy.
Maybe it's cause some of my best friends are perverted guys (whom I love). A few nights ago I went to a baseball game with a lot of new people I didn't know, and seriously I wanted to/started to say "THAT's what she said" about 20 times. Let's just say that at the baseball game somebody found the remains of a balloon animal and it did NOT LOOK LIKE a balloon animal... and people in my group were putting it on their head like a hat, not knowing what me and my older friends were thinking. Eventually, after laughing to tears, I told them it was dirty and to take it off their heads. Good times.
OH MY, okay okay, speaking of which... Have you ever laughed at a funeral? Yeah, well I have, and I am so going to get struck by lightning for it too. Let's just say in the middle of a funeral not too long ago the guy said something that was very perverted sounding and I had to literally bite my tongue and cover my mouth to not say That's What She Said to my friend sitting beside me....except just when I met eyes with her, she mouthed, "Thats..What..She..Said.." We almost died, seriously, I think I popped a funny fuse.
Search for the Marshmallow Game that Ellen does on her show. It's freakin' hilarious.
Since I was a kid I've gone to Durham Bulls baseball games. It's a minor league team and it's pretty fun. We always get kinda crappy seats when I go with the summer camp staff of Chestnut Ridge, but it's still fun. Friggin' hot as heck though! 
No really, screw summer. Mind if I complain a little? No? Thanks!
Summer sucks! It was over 100 today, was Friday and will be even hotter again tomorrow. I have been sweating for days, it seems like.
On top of the heat, in the past week I've had a roach crawl on my sink too close to my toothbrush, a spider in my shower while taking one, spiders and spider webs everywhere outside who station their webs between my car and the front door, at least 3 other roach sitings, those silverback stupid things on my ceiling...and I'm sure more. Two things I don't like = sweating for long periods of time and lots of bugs. :(
I'll tell you all about the baseball game, my crappy hair cut and other boring things tomorrow. Must sleep now.
Cooked for 150 folks yesterday. It wasn't too terribly bad, no disasters besides me hating what I served. Except the dang AC is basically out in the kitchen so I'm cooking in 83 degree heat over hot stoves and ovens and sweat is like dripping off me. I hate being hot...especially in the kitchen, for the record. The floor is also extremely slick and I every time I turn a corner or just move I slide around everywhere around the knives and other such sharp things. So I've been waiting to see myself fall for months now. Of course I was turning a corner really fast and fell with a hand full of dishes. Fortunately, it was a smooth fall (if that's possible), not on my butt or face, and I wasn't carrying any important food. Downsides of moving fast? Yep. Staff training (for summer camp) is this week and it's really really weird to not be a part of it. It's hard to be frustrated and lonely in the kitchen and hear them cheering and playing games and being all friendly. I know if I was a staff member I would be lousy at it, just like my last year of counseling a few years ago, cause my mind is just somewhere else and I'm not into it. Still, just weird to be close and not involved. Gotta cook ALL day today, but only for like 50? I'm taking a break now cause I'm too hot and irritable to care about anything.
Okay girls, (or maybe guys who need a present for girls)... now is your chance to go spoil yourself and spend little money at Bath and Body Works. They're having a crazy sale, a LOT of things at like 75% off! I bought some fabulous amber myrrh body wash, some mint conditioner and other crap too for like 10 bucks. Anyway, do yourself a favor and check it out.
Also, if you're into Yankee Candles they're having a nice sale too. I don't really burn them but they're kinda the best of the best (in my opinion) as far as capturing scents. If you don't wanna buy one, just go in the store, smell the candles, and tell me if I'm wrong about their accuracy!
I don't understand why coffee shops have to be so stupid sometimes.
I went to one with almost perfect coffee and environment but the wifi cost 6 bucks to use. Another one had perfect coffee with broken internet. Another one closed at 1 pm (what?!). Another one was a "Christian coffee shop" that was so outrageously cheesy I couldn't even stay- and their coffee tastes like popcorn...and they have middle school art on the walls...and they blared cheesy Christian pop (this is part of my next controversial topic). Starbucks is $30 a month to use their internet, but good coffee. Panera has terrible espresso but free wifi.
Holy cow, I mean most people don't spend the ridiculous amounts of time as I do in coffee shops cause most people have normal full time jobs and more important things to do -but seriously, all I ask for is: Good coffee. Free wifi. Not a stupid environment.
I dunno where my life is taking me but if I ever do start my coffee shop type place I've always wanted, these are 3 very simple rules that I will not budge on, it's not that hard! So here I am drinking Starbucks espresso in Panera after driving around for too long looking for a place to work...and I'm still annoyed!
Oh and by the way, one more thing... I stopped at my music store to mess around on electric guitars. I had to stop myself from laughing at this guy who I will call "The Ultimate Redneck". Check it out- Probably 5 ft. tall, HUGE potbelly, confederate flag hat, confederate flag t-shirt, jeans tight under his floppy belly, muddy boots, looong nasty greasy hair down his back, huge thick plastic glasses, a 5 o'clock shadow and just about black teeth. I was putting my guitar down and he said to me, "Bought myself this here guitar the otha' day!", pointing to a confederate flag acoustic guitar! HAHAHA oh my gosh, you guys, I totally wish someone else could have seen it to believe me. Sorry if that description sounds mean, but it's accurate! He followed me around the store till I left--crrrrrreepy.
I was talking to someone the other day about God's will. What a hard subject sometimes, isn't it? We don't know God's will before it happens, right?
I've concluded that there's a pretty fine line between:
- Coming to the conclusion that since you're not being successful in something (whatever that may be) then it must not be God's will, in other words God isn't "blessing it" and
- Realizing that God will bring you through trials to teach you something and we have to get through the trial, in other words God "wants us to go through the fire"
It seems to me that so many Christians nowadays pray so hard for no pain, no trials, no lessons- they want everything to be perfect and painless. So when those things come, we ask God, "Why God, why?!". Instant gratification has soaked into the hearts of Christians, mainly in the "modern world West" I believe, and we are not allowing God to teach us lessons when we should be taught.
This is not to say that we should let our stubborn natures soak in too, and not try to get out of bad situations.
I've been talking about general things but this is what I really mean: I've been raising support for at least 6 months and I'm about halfway to where I want to be. I expected a miracle (with my instant gratification needs) and thought I would get the support a lot sooner.
So for some people, they're viewing this as *God is not blessing this, so you should stop*.
Where other people are viewing this as *God is teaching you something and putting you through a trial, and it doesn't mean you should stop*.
I am obviously more prone to the second opinion, but it's hard not to listen to smart people telling me the first one, ya know? Anyway, I think it's an important aspect of our faith that we should pay attention to. At times I get so down about this whole thing and feel like I want to give up- but other times, like yesterday in church, I thought to myself: If there's anything in the world I'd like to be in a trial about, it would be about an eternal Kingdom concern and allowing God to fix my heart about it.
What kinds of trials are you facing?
If you haven't heard of this chap, watch out cause he's gonna get popular real soon I think...
His voice is hot and he ain't too bad lookin' either :)

Been listening to this song a lot lately- seems to be a life-long theme with me!
(Not a real video, just the audio)
Thought I was different
It seems I'm just the same
As a game I put my hand over the flame
I thought I was smarter as I flew into the sun,
But it turned out the way it does with everyone
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burning, falling down so many times before
I don't fly around your fire anymore
I love the heat I love the things that I forgot
I love the strings that tie me down and cut me off
I was a king, I was a moth
With painted wings made of cloth
When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?
I won't fly around your fire anymore
I don't fly around your fire anymore
Burning, falling down so many times before
I don't fly around
Fly around
