A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep:
I don't know if I should choose one that is so lame and slow that it puts me to sleep or one that I love to fall asleep to at night. I will go with the latter.
Lover I Don't Have To Love by Bright Eyes
Easy/Lucky/Free by Bright Eyes
Get-Well-Cards by Conor Oberst
or really any Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst tune is great to calm me down after a long day.
Come Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams
Smile When You Call Me That by Jakob Dylan
Nightfall by Robert Francis

Grad School
Although I have 3 years before I can even apply for grad school (that is if I get a job right away next fall) I am looking deeply into going.
I want to go to Grad School for School Counseling K-12. Its a 60 hour program or 2 years. It also requires an internship of 750 hours. So a 2 1/2 to 3 year program.
And by the time I go, I'm sure it will be around 8,000 a year for a grad program.
Yowza!
If I am to do this. I will not be done with school until I am 28 or 29 and a couple grand in debt.
Gahhh! Growing up and doing something awesome with your life takes way longer and much more money than I ever thought it would when I was little.

Me to a T:
This is why I forbid to tell anyone what I want to name my children. The 5 or 6 boy names I want will remain secret as will the 5 or 6 names for girls.

Day 4:
A Song That Makes You Sad:
Amazing Grace
It was sang at my Grandpa's funeral and I can't listen to it without bawling my eyes out.

Yup Yup
Pretty sure I am one of the only people in this world who could care less about the royal wedding.
I know its history in the making or whatever
But it is far from exciting to me.
I have been annoyed and over it since the day the two got engaged.

Hmm
Someone just posted a status on Facebook saying that one of their favorite artists was on MTV and they hoped it didn't ruin the artist for them like it did another band.
Now, I am beyond guilty for saying "Oh my gosh, the radio ruined (insert band name here) for me! UGH"
However, now that I look at it, how can the radio or MTV ruin a band or artist for someone? You shouldn't like or not like a band because they are on the radio or on MTV. I used to say that because I thought I was cool that I knew a band that others didn't and then when they hit the mainstream I was mad because everyone knew about them.
But isn't that what artists want? Don't they want people to hear them? Aren't they here to reach out to people all over and let their music be heard?
Just because you like a band and then they are played on a popular radio station or tv station, does not mean they need to be not liked by you. If you are a fan of a band, a true fan that is, you should like them whether or not they get big. If you are going to say that you no longer like a band because they are being broadcasted to millions of people, you probably didn't really like them in the first place. That or your perception of music is messed up.
Look at the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bon Jovi, the Clash. The world LOOOOOVES these bands. Each of these bands/artists started out as something small where hardly anyone knew about them. They all soon hit it HUGE and their following never died. In fact as the generations keep going, these bands get more and more fans. I have never heard the "older" generation say "Oh when Bob Dylan got big, it ruined him for me. I can't listen to him" Hell no, they love that he got big and that he was able to reach as many people as he has.
Don't let MTV or the radio "ruin" a band or artist for you. Just turn off the tv or radio. Continue liking and supporting them. You know deep inside your little heart that you knew about them before they got big. Keep that in mind, you've been there since day one. That should mean something.
End of my rant!
Thank you and come again :)

This girl, in my book, is the luckiest girl in the world....next to Kate Winslet that is.
sorry if your offended by a naked ass :)
BREAKING THE SILENCE
Today was Invisible Children's Breaking the Silence.
I pledged to do it. Well, I admit that I talked for a few minutes, but it was a super serious topic that needed to be talked about.
Otherwise, I went silent from 6 last night until 8 tonight. So I went a little longer than 25 hours so I think it counts.
It was soooo hard not to call my mom when I needed to talk to her about Hanson being on DWTS. ha!!
Anyway, I raised 80 bucks. Nothing compared to the dude who has raised $12,000 but shit, I did my part!
Thanks to:
Jill E.
DeAnne H.
Missy G.
My mommy
and
Miss LJ!
for donating. I love you all very much. These ladies know how involved I am with the Congo and are willing to fork out money to support whatever I am doing when it comes to causes like this.
In Nashville, Tennessee they are breaking the silence. It was so touching to watch thousands and thousands of people break the silence at the same time.
So far a very awesome lady from Uganda came out and spoke. She was so sweet and I loved hearing her story.
Now its music time!!
Landon Pigg!!!!!!!!!! He is so sweet and amazingly talented.
and unfortunately David Archuletta (i think he has gotten worse since Idol. at the moment, he is trying to sing Daniel Bedingfield's (?) Gotta Get Through This. HORRIBLE cover.)
Mumford and Sons are in Austin, Texas. I wish they were live streaming them instead of David. Oh well.
In case you were wondering. The initial goal was to raise $650,000
as of right now they have more than 1.6 MILLION bucks.
A-freaking-Mazing.
