SO EXCITED FOR MUSE!!!

I am SUPER excited to go to this concert in a few weeks!! I totally have NOSEBLEED seats, but whatever!! I hear their WONDERFUL live!! :D

Well Alright! It's ok!

It's ok Deborah...

I found out that my car needs some work done. I can't get the exact degree that I'd like to get. There's drama at work. I live in UTAH. My ten year reunion is in a few months. I'm single and 28. But you know what? It's gonna me BE OK. :D

With my life, I've recently chosen a mantra "makin' lemondaid". You see, it actually is more personal than you'd think- I used to work making lemonaid for Hot Dog on a Stick. So, I'm kinda a lemonaid snob. And trust me, i've been making LOTS of lemonaid recently. It's all you can do. Let the times roll on and just- stop being surprised when bad things come up, because, you know what? They will. And when they do, all you can do is pick yourself up- and keep going. Because the alternative is not feasible. I remind myself often that things could be worse. I could be in an abusive marriage, I could have cancer, I could be really ugly, I could still be living at home, I could have some horrid addiction... etc.

So here's to the lemonaid, and knowing that things will BE OK.

The Beatles Rock... even if its just Paul....

So, the other day I was in class, presenting a issue for the students to discuss- and I talked about Paul McCartney, and his idea of Meat Free Monday- and several of the kids didn't know who he was. I was SOOOO shocked!! How can you not know who a member of the Beatles is??? Thats like- WRONG :( Anyway, here's my new favoriate song of Paul- who is "The Cute One" after all :)

Sigh.

All the songs that have really been hitting me as wonderful, I've noticed, have to do with being grateful. Maybe thats soething I need to work on, to learn how to do better. ? Hum. I'll ponder on it and see where it takes me... While I do that, here's another song I think is lovely :)

LOVELY LOVELY SONG

I really can't handle how beautiful this song is. Maybe.. if it wasn't sooo.."pearl jamm-y".. but none the less, it's lovely. I think i'm really enjoying the song. I think the synthetic flute is really cool. You know, at times i'm SOOO surrounded by brutish guys, that I forget how sensitivie they can also be. I mean- thats a really cool element to this song.

Why isn't Pearl Jam still famous? This new music of thiers is way cool. I mean, they've always done excellent work (Jeremy is obviously one of the best songs ever written/performed), but why must I listen to other bands in the catagory (cough, nickelback. cough) on the radio who just SUCK, when they could be playing stuff like this? Actual music, made for the main stream that actually has a good message and is original, and has depth to the music?!?!



Radio stations. Take note. This is how main stream music should all be. Thank you.
