Totally Illogical

Paulie Bleeker: 'I try really hard, actually.'"

I stay wrecked and jealous for this, for this simple reason, I just need to keep you in mind as something larger than life." -Taking Back Sunday

"Look to this day,
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today, well-lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore to this day,
Such is the salutation of the dawn." -Kalidasa








"Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days, always a bigger bed to crawl into. Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything, and everybody believed in you? It's alright, just wait and see. Your string of lights is still bright to me. Oh, who you are is not where you've been. You're still an innocent... Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days, and everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you. Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep, before the monsters caught up to you... Time turns flames to embers, you'll have new Septembers. Every one of us has messed up too. Lives change like the weather, I hope you remember, today is never too late to be brand new." -Taylor Swift

"Michelangelo said the best way to judge the essential elements of a sculpture is to throw it down a hill and the unimportant pieces will break away. Sometimes life is like that. It tosses us down a hill. But when we reach the bottom and only the important things are left, that's when our vision clears. That's when we hold on tight to what we know, while hope stirs inside us. It's all a matter of perspective." -Everwood





"I watch you spin around in your highest heels. You are the best one, of the best ones. We all look like we feel... You have stolen my heart." -Dashboard Confessional





"If you're feeling frightened about what comes next... don't. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you to places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness. Don't waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment as it comes, because you'll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up, and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart... where your hope lives. You'll find your way again." -Everwood






"There is no key to happiness, the door is always open." -Marc Gohres





"No matter how old you are, it's hard not to get excited when snow starts to fall. Because, so long as it keeps coming, no one can make you go anywhere or do anything. All life's rules are suspended." -Everwood




"Dreams aren't meant to be understood any more than tragedies can be avoided. Life happens to us... the only certainty in all of it is that it just keeps happening." -Everwood

Filter That, Baby Bump That Track...

Got tickets to see Taylor Swift today! :)

The seats are up super high, but I'm glad we get to see her again!

Other than that, my day kind of sucked. I made a stupid mistake on my math test! I guess it could have been worse, though. My mom is getting my taxes done for me today. I would rather do it myself but at least I don't have to deal with the hassle. I just hope the lady knows what she's doing haha. Unlikely.

I have a lot to do this weekend. I'm making a list on here even though it's really just going to annoy readers:

1. Make a Powerpoint kiosk about the danger of cell phones
2. Work on a take-home math test problem
3. Finish homework for discrete math
4. Read and study for Psychology
5. Start filling out the FAFSA
6. Clean out the rest of my closet and clean the bathroom
7. Call relatives
8. Watch movies and relax

That's all of the important stuff. I'm hoping we get the chance to go home next weekend, it seems like forever since we've been there. :(

"I've got some issues that nobody can see, and all of these emotions are pouring out of me. I'll bring them to the light for you, it's only right. This is the soundtrack to my life..."

Groove, Slam, Work It Back...




"What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do." -Bob Dylan




"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather." -John Ruskin




"How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?" -Bob Dylan




"May he love tomorrow who has never loved before; and may he who has loved, love tomorrow as well."




"We see everything through a glass, darkly. Sometimes we can peer through the glass and catch a glimpse of what is on the other side. If we were to polish the glass clean, we'd see much more. But then we would no longer see ourselves."




"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is." -Albert Einstein




"Fearless doesn't mean you're completely unafraid and it doesn't mean that you're bulletproof. It means that you have a lot of fears, but you jump anyway." -Taylor Swift




"Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Maybe Pete Townshend, but that's okay. Rock 'n' roll is a lifestyle and a way of thinking... and it's not about money and popularity. Although, some money would be nice. But it's a voice that says, 'Here I am... and fuck you if you can't understand me.' And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that rock 'n' roll can save the world... all of us together. And the chicks are great. But what it all comes down to is that thing. The indefinable thing when people catch something in your music." -Almost Famous




"Forget regret, or life is yours to miss."






"Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club."




"The world is my suitcase; let me pack it all in."

Hmm...

"Untouchable, burnin' brighter than the sun. And when you're close I feel like comin' undone. In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream, it's like a million little stars spellin' out your name. You gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be together. Come on, come on, little taste of heaven." -Luna Halo


 


"Wasn't it you who told me, the sun would always chase the day? Wasn't it you who told me, angels fly in the air tonight, sayin' wasn't it just like swimmin' out on the lake. Stars collide, and the air's alive. Or was it just like those promises that you made on our last night?" -Better Than Ezra

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." -Matthew 5:38:45




"Life's a bitch because if it were a slut, it would be too easy."

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Gandhi



"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." -John Lennon



"Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends." -Shirley MacLaine


"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." -Helen Keller




"Who are you to judge me and the life that I live? I know that I'm not perfect, and that I don't claim to be. So before you point your fingers, be sure your hands are clean." -Bob Marley



"Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet." -Bob Dylan
