I want to live where soul meets body And let the sun wrap its arms around me And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing And feel, feel what it's like to be new
Because in my head there's a Greyhound station Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations So they may have a chance of finding a place Where they're far more suited than here
Since the seasons sort of mesh together in Texas, we have to just take what we can get. Autumn is finally around the corner. The skies are clear, there is usually a brisk gust of wind blowing past, and the morning air is cold enough to make you go back inside to grab a jacket. I don't know what it is, but just the idea of the fall and winter season makes me feel more relaxed. I think a lot of people can relate to that. The fact that we can finally pull out those beloved sweaters, scarves, and peacoats gets people excited. This time of year even brings about a change in music choices. Also, purely the fact that it is colder means I can properly enjoy peppermint hot chocolate and wassle. Those are two of my favorite things. ever.
With all of the responsibilities and requirements we have to deal with everyday, its nice to know that simple things such as the changing seasons can be enough to stir some positive emotion in people, and it doesn't matter how old you get. This ridiculous election, the economy, school, work, graduation, the thought of being thrust out into the real world, relationships, insecurities...sometimes you just have to keep shit simple to stay sane. Nowadays, it seems like we are too often just trying to stay afloat. These simple vices are what can really bring our heads above water.
If you haven't heard, some serious shit went down eight years ago at our house. I can't even imagine what this area was like when this actually happened. The things these guys did were just sickening and utterly disgusting. As much faith as someone can have in the world, after reading stories like this, that faith sort of comes into question. These people were friends. Well, I guess they have a different definition of friendship than I do.
So maybe our house is haunted? Who knows. As long as it did not happen in my room...
girl talk. last saturday. holyshitridiculouslyfuckingbadass.
It was basically just one huge dance party, but times 1,000. Being on stage for the entire show, elbowing a number of people, sweating until my shirt was soaked through, dancing my heart out with H-Town friends, stomping my feet as hard as I could, feeling like I was going to throw up from jumping so much, waiting for the guy dressed as a cop to blow air from a leaf-blower on my face, waking up sore as hell....I could go on. Dancing is just one of those things that can just make you forget everything for a few hours. There is no time to becoming pensive. The beats running through your head is just about all you can think about, and that is more than enough. It's no wonder raves were so popular. Well, besides the drugs.
If I went to a Girl Talk concert every week, that would be the best work out ever.
Ever since my summer adventure, I feel like I have really turned a new leaf...
I must say, I am pretty damn happy about life. Town Hall business is going quite well. School isn't torture, and I think my grades will be just fine for the semester. I'm really making the most of my senior year because I know this is really my last chance to live it up in college. Of course there are certain things clouding my thoughts at time, but I'm just rolling with the punches. I'm finally taking my own advice and putting the past where it belongs: in the past. I've learned enough from certain experiences in the past, and I can't replace them. Still, I'm done with dwelling on the low times in my life.
Old pale memories of someone you knew Keep crawling through the back of your mind Still in time And in the daylight you're crossing all your wires You just never knew how to put out a fire And the closet's been shaken with bones Little reminders that you're out on your own
Today, today, is gonna be a better one There's nothing more to take in Going wrong
Everyone has their own emotional baggage, and I mean everyone. Of course, there are some things you just can't ever completely forget. It's almost humorous how jaded you can become from a situation, and your whole perspective can become altered. Sometimes, you don't even have to be directly involved, and you can feel the effects.
with mirrored hallways done with creepy laughter ride the carousel here comes the wrecking ball so my town can live sell the carousel
in the carousel's last days the strangers came and tried to save they strive to save a history thats not their own
but i remember the thrill of it fantastic ride the carousel here comes the wrecking ball so my town can live sell the carousel - Nicole Atkins' "Carousel"
A wrecking ball could be having your heart crushed, dealing with negativity, or just some experience that alters your view. Sometimes, there is just no returning back to the way things used to look. Maybe you can get that old feeling back, but most of the time you just have to move on and not live in the past.
And hell, I have so many things to look forward to in the coming weeks. Holla!
