John Mayer

I thought I would blog about John Mayer. I don't know what it is about him. I love him but sometimes I can't stand him. It's pretty wierd. I have a love-hate relationship with him. When it comes to his music I absolutely love him. As a musician I think he's amazing. If I could I would listen to his music all day every day for the rest of my life. I'm in love with his voice. His music has this effect on me it's kindof hard to understand. In his older (younger) videos I think he's gorgeous. Anyways, I remember when I was younger, my parents would constantly argue. I didn't want to hear it especially before I went to bed at night. So, since my mom had his cd (she burned it for me) I would listen to his songs and just drift away. Whenever I listened to John Mayer, it was magical. His music brought me to a safe place where I could feel like I'm at home. I remember the song Your Body is a Wonderland. I loved it. It's amazing how he can take a song about sex and make it sound cute and sweet. As a child, I didn't know what that song really meant. But I remember I loved him as a little kid. My mom wouldn't let me watch the video because she thought it was inappropriate but I'd be like "mom he's cute." She'd say "he's too old." Yeah, she does have a point about that. He's had a really bad past (drugs) so I've heard. What I don't like about him is in his interviews he comes off as a really mean and hateful person. He just says whatever and he expects to get away with it. I also don't like the fact that he has this image of being a 'womanizer' I can see why though. He's a musician! But it still doesn't give him a reason to be a jerk. Have you heard about his recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine? I can't explain how much that upsets me...the things that he says. It's disgusting. I read parts of the article online. I just can't stand the way he talks about people and inappropriate things. He was just way too arrogant. As a musician I'm in love with him. If he could sing to me 24/7 all day everyday I'd be one really happy person.

My Celebrity Crush(es)

Yeah, I have a couple of gorgeous celebrity guys that I'm in love with. To start off I'm going to confess my love for Taylor Lautner. Oh my goodness, I need to keep this school appropriate but when he had his shirt off in New Moon I melted in the theater seat. That boy takes really good care of his body that is for sure. Enough about his body, he's got the cutest face. His smile is to die for. I'm so looking forward to seeing him in Eclipse and more movies. I'm still dying to see Valentine's Day. The only bad thing about that is that him and Taylor Swift make out like a lot and I can just feel the jealousy raging through me. I love Taylor Swift and all but she needs to back-off. I remember when Taylor Lautner was really little in Cheaper By The Dozen 2. He was such a cutie and he still is. I can just go on and on about how much I love this guy. I swear he is my future husband. No joke.
Another one of my celebrity crushes is Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. I have loved him since the very beginning. He's the cutest guy ever (other than Taylor Lautner). Nick Jonas is such an inspiration too. I've been to 2 Jonas Brothers concerts and I've loved every minute of them. And Nick Jonas is also a musician who writes his songs. As a girl I find musicians dreamy. Who doesn't?! Nick Jonas can serenade me any time, any day and any place.

UK Basketball

I am a HUGE UK basketball fan!! And I am proud of it!! I guess my fanatic ways of my step-dad has rubbed off on me. They have done such a good job this year. I remember the passed couple of years they weren't all that great. Then here comes along a new coach, some phenominal freshmen and you got one heck of a basketball team. I enjoy watching them play. They've got some amazing talent. There isn't no doubt about it. I've became a fan of Demarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, John Wall and John Calipari on facebook. UK Basketball team is dominating college basketball. I'm normally not much of a sports fan. Every now and then I watch an NFL game on tv and that's about it. I love UK Basketball though. And lately I've been watching NASCAR just because of a 19-year-old boy named Joey Logano. I can go on and on about how much I love that cutie but I'm going to save that for a differnet blog :)

Some of My Favorite Quotes

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” -?? This quote is a classic. Everybody’s heard it once or twice. I used to tell myself this quote all the time in middle school when I was made fun of.
“If my heart were a house you’d be home.” –Adam Young, Owl City I love his music. And this song is on his new CD. The song is amazing and peaceful. It’s about person being in your heart and knowing that that’s where they belong. I think it’s sweet.
“When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” -?? This quote is another classic. It says that you need to make the most life. And I try to live by this quote. It is a good one.
“A guy who truly loves his girl doesn’t need to unbutton her shirt to have a better view of her HEART.” -Anonymous A little inappropriate for school but I like it. I wish guys would understand that. You know that there’s more to a girl than how she looks.
“A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left.” –Marilyn Monroe She is right. A wise girl would do those things just because a wise girl would know to do those things just so she won’t get her heart broken. Many girls get their hearts broken on a daily basis. As sad as that is, it is true.
“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” –Dr. Seuss This is a sweet quote. I want to be able to experience that. I’m sure I will some day. 
“There’s always gonna be another mountain, I’m always gonna wanna make it move…always gonna be an uphill battle sometimes I’m gonna have to lose…” –Miley Cyrus, The Climb I wish I could put the whole song as my favorite quote. This is a very inspirational song. Everytime I listen to this song I feel like I have something I can believe in.
“You be the prince and I’ll be the princess it’s a love story baby just say yes.” –Taylor Swift, Love Story This is one of my favorite songs of all time sung by my favorite artist of all time. It gives a person like me hope that there is love somewhere out there and a person’s love story never has an end.
“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one.” –John Lennon This is such an amazing song. It has a really good point. I really wish that the world will live together in harmony and peace.
“never regret something that once made you smile.” -anonymous I found this random quote on the internet. I like it. This quote is what I live by.

American Idol - Dreams Come True

So I watch American Idol. I love that show. It is my guilty pleasure. I love how it makes ordinary people with extroadinary voices dreams ocme true. It seems like every year when it gets to the season finale I get teary eyed. I can feel thier struggles. I sort of know what it likes to want to give up. I know what it's like when you feel like your trying your hardest but it just isn't good enough. I'm not saying I want to be a singer or anything. That would be pretty sweet though. I have this story I think I need to tell. The other day my step-dad left because he had to pick my brother up from school. I'm in the kitchen washing the dishes and I thought I was home alone. So I have my iPod blaring and I'm singing "When I Look At You" by Miley Cyrus (such a pretty song) and in the corner of my eye I see my step-dad standing in the doorway staring at me. He must've forgotten something. There is no telling how long he was standing there. But I was really embarassed. My step-dad says I sing good. So, I'm guessing he's a fan. :) I don't think my voice is all that great. Yeah, I'm in Chorus. I'm definately not tone deaf, but my 'voice' isn't that great. At least that's what I think.

Driving

I had an amazing time this passed weekend. The weather felt so nice. I actually got to step outside and feel fantastic! Usually in the wintertime when you step outside you are freezing and very miserable. I love the nicer weather. But anyways, my favorite thing about this passed weekend was that I got to drive around. I've had my permit for awhile now, but I never really enjoyed driving that much until last weekend. It was nice. I drove around the countryside. From my grandparent's house (in Utica) all the way to Calhoun. I loved how the wind felt against the side of my face as I had the window down. That was awesome. I love driving because it's like my escape from reality. Other than music, driving is my other escape. I had the radio turned up and nothing could go wrong. I had so much fun!!! I wish the weather was like last weekend everyday.

Letter to my Mom

Dear Mom,

I know we have our days where we don't see eye to eye. And we have those days where no matter what goes on between us or what is said, seems to make the other mad. I love you. I know you love me. I'm so lucky to have a mother like you who loves me unconditionally. That cares about me more than anything else in the world. I don't know what I would do without you. There's days where I'm really angry towards you but at the end of the day I realize that everything is okay. I really do love you. If you weren't my mother I don't know what I would do. I would be lost. I honestly would be lost. Graduating high school does scare me. I can't imagine a life where your not with me. Where you're not with me being a guiding life. When I go off to college (if I go to college) I know I will miss you terribly. As much as I want to get away from Owensboro, I don't want to get away from you for too long. Because I know I'll get homesick and I know that I will miss you so much. It stinks that I don't have a valentine this year. But I'm glad to have a mother like you who I know loves me.
