For Love Is Immortality.

Well,The Beatles said it. And It's true. I've been finding lately, that I can't tell everyone that I love them. I normally just throw it around as a casual thing with friends, Oh, I love you. But I can't. I'm thinking about love, and the impact that it's had on my life, and more importantly, on others. Love is...Well, Love is great. Love is magnificent. And I've had it, lost it, tried to reinvent it, but that's even more impossible than making the sky come down. Love is what makes my heart so big, Love is what makes me do the things I do, Love is what makes me sacrifice for those close to me. All I need is love.<3

"For love is immortality." -Emily Dickinson

Improving the Beast.

I want to reinvent myself.
Well, not so much reinvent, but improve. I've been cutting down on doing the things that I love, that I WANT to do for the things that I have to do. Which, is quite necessary in life, but not to the the point where I don't have time to sit back and breathe a little bit. This break I made sure I had time to relax, and make a funny face. So let's chat about thanksgiving. It was good. And that's all I need to say on that. Christmas is coming soon, and I'm pretty excited. Not so much for the gifts, but I always have a happy heart in that season what with the music and all. But my themesong for Christmas, Carol of the Bells...August Burns Red style. Let's add a little intensity to Christmas now, shall we? Hm,Off to a completely different subject.

Cloudy Days:
Who is anyone to say that this isn't a gorgeous day. I can think back to last friday morning, during band. I looked to Mark and asked, "Would I be completely wrong to say that today is the most beautiful day I've ever seen?"

"No", was all he said. But that's all he needed to say. Clouds have come to symbolize despair and a time of darkness since they block the sun. But half of those very people HATE the sun and when it's out wish for a cloud or two. I just don't understand. When I see clouds, I think rain...And rain is a beautiful thing. Renewal, or a goodhairday turned bad. But, I would take a cloudy day over a sunny one in an instant...especially since I hate tarkening. (see other blogpost) Ah, the mysteries of life.

It's late.

Yeah, I'm posting again. FINALLY. Well, marching season is OVER. Onto winterguard, so SEPERATION from the band. Finally, some pure insanity without getting yelled at. AND some hard flagwork. Can you say, "I'm looking for a solo!"? I can. (: And not to mention, since marching season is over teacher's are gonna start loading on the homework and such?! Ugh, It's already starting and I'm losing sleep. Gr, I just want to stay home for a day. Maybe next semester. So anyway, I spent the last four and a half hours on psychology and by golly, I give up. This is ridiculous, three case studies and a five page packet. NO MAAM. I'm hopping in the shower, and going to bed. I am POOOPEEEEEDDDD.

Rahduh-Rahduh-RahDUUHH.

So here I am, doing my latest once every couple a months post. I'm getting really bad about updating, but jeez. How am I supposed to keep up when I have to deal with band, IB, key club, AND sleeping? Hahah, I commend Alan and Joe on what they do. Anyway, lets see what's going on with me.

This Friday, I went with an awesome group of kiddos to see ZombieLand.(: You know what, go see it. It's effing hilarious. I laughed the entire times. And between you and me, I am absolutely TERRIFIED of Zombies, so I was a little...hesitant before seeing this movie. There were actually a few jump out of your seat moments, but I couldn't stop laughing. "You got Purty Mouth!" So go see it. Columbus is my favorite. and Man, Bill Murray.<3

Hm. Band is a bit frustrating, but after two weeks of getting first place...I think I'll be alright. Judson Rocket Review is this weekend...wonder if USSBA is a loadofbull contest.

Note to self: Take Nina and Deana cake.

I am LOVING the morning practices....NOT. haha, OhBother. Ive run out of things to talk about. Later!

This One's For Joe.

Hmm, I don't know if you've ever heard of a band called Showbread. They've got an interesting sound and you just might love them. (: Here's a favorite song of mine.

Mouth Like A Magazine.

I'm Breaking Promises, Just Like He's Breaking Hearts.

Sup Kids,!
I broke my promise to myself, I know. I should've been blogging instead of finishing summer assignments...I know. But when you've got a mother like mine you don't even mess around with those types of things. Ha, whatever. Summer assignments suck and that's all I'm gonna say on that issue for now. As for school starting, I like it so far. HEAVY EMPHASIS on the "so far" part of that. No kidding, I love school when it starts but by the end of the year I am OVER IT. Hah, The only fantasmical thing about this year is....drumroll...OFFCAMPUS. Thank GOD for passing the TAKS test and all the beautiful eating-somewhere-other-than-clemens perks that come along with it! My first day off campus will be tomorrow, thank goodness. Three days in that sea of death they call a cafeteria gets old...REAL FAST. Man.
And ANOTHER THING, I just realized how much band rules our lives. Here's the thing, band kids tend to have dreams about band...peculiar? I think not. Let me give you a little insight on a band kids day.
7:25 am- Band Practice
9:15 am- Change for school; complain about how sweaty you are from band.
9:30-4:00- Other classes; talk about bandrelated activities
On tuesdays, 4:30-6:00- Band Practice
After 6, We get home and complain about how tired we are...from band. Do homework...sometimes. Then sleep...and dream about band. Then we do it all over again. Unless its fridays, then we have runthroughs...for band. Then a game. Then we go have dinner...with other band kids of course. You see these things rule our lives?! Band happens to be aka a cult. Yeah, we have that nickname. And a violent one at that. We also like to mosh in the hall to cadences (: I also can't hear out of my right ear very well anymore thanks to Justin and those God Forsaken Cymbals! But in all fairness, I chose to stand right next to the drumline in the first place. Band will be mighty interesting.

Did I mention that me and Taylor Swift have kindred souls?! And I found my new protege for guard. (: Shawna Mobley Dearrrrr. (:

Anyways, this post has gone fairly randomly for too long. I must bring this to a stop...and shower...and sleep...because I have band practice. (:

Some Say I'm Schizo,(:

This will be a rather long post, so brace yourselves readers. (:

Today was my last official day seeing the band kids altogether before school starts, and I wonder. What would I do without them? Would my summer be the same if I didn't go to the much dreaded band camp? I'm not going to waste a summer and find out. This is a much awaited post, at least for me and Joe. (he's been wanting me to post for awhile) My computer needed its fan replaced, and thanks to Alan and the bandhall, it was indeed replaced for me. Once again, the question comes to mind "What would I do without band kids?" They provide everything I need. Food, Shelter, Laughs, Open Chest Matches, Kisses on My Cheek, EVERYTHING. Including, TONS of topics for this blog. Check It, One Two, Here Goes Nothin.

Tarkening: Tanning And Darkening.
As you can see, I'm black. BUT not super dark because of one other race that flows through my veins. I darken in the summerband sun, but I also tan/golden? So I had to make up a new word for it, thus came the word Tarkening. The band library is full of new words.

Talking To Myself:
I don't know why it's necessary, but I almost HAVE to just to do everyday tasks. I'm pretty sure I don't have ADD or anything, but I really do get off focus quite easily. Today while working on summer assignments, I found myself EXPLAINING the article I was reading to myself. Like, I SWEAR i'm not schizophrenic but some would say I am? I'm an unfortunate case, I tell you.

Hugs:
I'm slightly addicted. If you don't give good hugs you're dead to me. Not really, but I'll find someone who gives better hugs.

This Post:
I feel like it wasn't up to par, so I'm just going to have to post again tomorrow? I could probably write something WAY better than what I just did, but I needed an update post before school started. I guess I should do a blog each day I have left of summer, Hmm. I'm promising to myself now. (:

I'm Walking On Sunshine, Whoa.

Sunflowers. My love for sunflowers first began at the age of 3ish. I know what you're thinking, how do you know what your favorite flower is when you're three? Young hearts are honest hearts. The first picture professional pictures i took made me realize the specialness and just attractiveness of the flower of the sun. (: My favorite color isn't even yellow.(It's red for those of you who don't know, ftw.) Ayywayy, lets go into a *FLASH BACK*:
When I was little my parents wanted to get professional pictures done. It was whatever, ya know. I love taking pictures so there wasn't really a problem with it. But you know how in walmart they have those posters of the little kids getting photography done? Well, I saw the outfit that the little girl was wearing and I WANTED IT. So of course, me being a daddy's girl, I got what I wanted. It was a cute little dress with sunflowers on it, some black patent leather baby doll shoes, an this huge straw hat with a HUMONGOUS sunflower on the front. It was beautiful. Those were the best pictures I've ever taken in my life. *End Flashback*
Even still flowers are able to make me smile, and I look to them for hope. Fun Fact: Sunflowers turn to follow the sun. Their purpose is to:

"symbolize the sun itself, conveying warmth and happiness, adoration and longevity. "

Sunflowers are so beautiful. They'll always be my favorite. And Devon likes them too. (:

You're always there. Your biggest fear for me, seeing my heart shattered into a million pieces. Number one objective, having me stay away from any boy that could potentially hurt me. Hmph, not my FAVORITE RULE. MackBabe, you're one of my absolute best friends there's no doubt about that and its apparent to all...and I couldnt even call you my brother...that's not close enough for me. You're my soulmate. I can always talk to you, just to feel better...I can always come get a giant hug from you and expect to be lifted off the ground by your super muscles and such. We can serenade anyone with our super fantasmical singing/guitar duo going or we can just jam out in your living room. (: you're the only one who can give me constructive criticism, that i'll take lol. Your scruff makes me smile. [: SweetCheeks loves you<3

Smosh + I Set My Friends On Fire = Sex Ed Video?

A good friend of mine decided that I should be quite a bit more educated about sex ed and such, so he showed me this video. Thanks a ton Mack. (: It's hilarious, especially if you like screamo. The lyrics are on the bottom of the screen due to misunderstood screams. Enjoy!

The Alpha Of My Omega

I've been finding myself at a standstill with my writing and decided to change the way i saw the world. That didn't quite work out for me as well as i thought it would, so i changed my decision to putting things right in front of me that would force my outlook to change. That would force me to see the world as several separate different colors instead of just the ones that jump out at me. Which is why i decided to use this photo. It goes nameless, it's a photo bucket image from the color splash albums made by some average Joe or Joe-Ann with some average 2009 technology. But look at it. Just take less than a minute (which you probably already have) and look. Not only look but observe ALL of the colors. When i first saw this photo i just thought it was really pretty and something cute to look at. But when you really sit and observe it you'll notice that it's a little eye-opening. When you see a tree, do you ever notice that it's actually that green and healthy until you put all the other colors on hold? Have you ever noticed that random blue car, that is in actuality, the bluest of blues but looks dull since all of the other colors are there to downgrade its beautiful potential? There's an entire spectrum of color out there that NOBODY knows about. I guess that can change a perspective if you think about it? If you're not really catching on, I guess you can read this book. It's called "The Book Thief" as you can see. And the entire prologue is about the colors and how each and every single one happens to matter in this huge unnecessary world. Just check it out:

"First the colors. Then the humans. That's usually how I see things. Or at least, how I try."
" I do, however, try to enjoy every color I see--the whole spectrum. A billion or so flavors, none of them quite the same, and a sky to slowly suck on. It takes the edge off the stress. It helps me relax."

Markus Zusak is a genius. Just by some of the things he said in his very introduction to The Book Thief captured everything I wanted to say about the simplicity that color splash captures. You can read the entire introduction RIGHT HERE. And if at all possible, make an investment at borders and buy the book. It's life-changing, but that's for another blog.

Au Revoir All,
