: [Drum Roll.........]  My Music Review...Finally!!

I know I meant to do this a long time ago, but i've been busy, so here it is now.

[My Best Ablums (That I Bought) of 2001]

1] Tool - Lateralus

This CD is just overall great.  The songs blend together, mellow at times, hard at others.  It came out way back in like May, and the first two singles are still being played regularly.  It's a CD where you just have to sit back and listen to the whole thing, which I really like.  It adds a lot of depth when a whole CD is great from start to finish.  The last hidden thingy kinda scares me, but it's interesting.  This will definitely be an album to listen to years from now.

1] Incubus - Mourning View

Yes, I know I have two number 1s.  Ive tried many times to separate the two, to find a difference to make one over the other.  But there really isn't.  These are both great CDs for many different reasons.  This CD is a great follow-up to Make Your Self.  It takes what was good and makes it better, and even experiments with new sounds and work out great.  The first two singles have been great to hear on the radio.  While it hasn't lasted as long as Tool's CD yet, I think it definitely will.  This CD doesn't have to be listened to all the way through, however I would recommend it.  Especially just listening to the full end with the crickets in the background, I love it.

..after these 2 cds there is kinda a gap, ill try to continue the list tomarow.

: Haven't written here in a while.  Why you might ask? .. Well I finally got a livejournal (http://www.livejournal.com/users/foxfire7) I like their set up, and it's a bit easier to update more often, so ill probably switch over to that and some point soon.  This web page will still stay up and hopefully updated and such.  I'll definitely archive this page if I do replace it.

Dance Like No One's Watching

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.

At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, reassure every moment that you have. Treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one...

So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Thought for the day:
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.

Well.. Sectionals went quite well today.  Overall we kicked butt in 5 events and are sending plenty to states, all 3 events I ran in won, somehow I won the 600m with quite the terrible time, but the 4x400 was well worth any energy I could gather.  I think that and the 4x800 will be my focus at states.  Lately I've been craving radiohead, wish I would of bought Kid A at one point.  I was pretty sick this week (although everyone else seems to have been also) But luckily I felt a looooooot better for today.  Now I'm home alone, opted out on gramma's house, but I have the car if needed... what to do what to do... ahwell, maybe I'll figure something out.

: Wow, long time no update.  Haven't abandoned, just have been busy.  A few things on my mind tonight.  I have a math test tomorrow on Logs.. still don't have a clue what a Log is... :P  I had something else and I forgot it.. doh... ah well.  The indoor track team I run on won section team championships for the second year in a row.. woohooo!!  Bought a CD called Winter Chill, it's kinda laid back, R&B - electronic sounds with mainly female vocals.  Really does fit the "winter feel", I definitely recommend it!  Went back to my camp last weekend for a reunion type thing.  I love camp.  We just stayed up and talked (till 2am) , no troubles, problems.. just talked and connected with each other, I think understand someone a lot better then I have before, I thought we were a bit different, but maybe our troubles at home may bring us closer.. time will tell on that one.  Enjoy life, and if I don't offer you one tomorrow, just come find me.. everyone deserves one on (Saint) Valentines Day!

: [enter my mind] ... The questions provoked through my mom's awkwardness in my family makes me question how things got this way.  Something went wrong, something didn't work.  Why?  I wish I had the answer to fix things, but I don't.  The family is single strongest unit of production in mental strength.  If something is  wrong in the family, things seem to go wrong elsewhere.  There is no if then.. it's a definite.  What the people in high places need to be concerned with is not violent video games, sad/destructive music, and sexual TV shows, but fixing the family unit.  Along the way something has gone wrong.  People forgot how things work, don't see what is important, and just look for scapegoats to cloak the real problem.  This needs to be addressed now, not later.  Some of us may turn out OK, a few of us lucky to survive... but it is only going to get worse.  Hopefully some of us will try to fix this problem, because no one seems to care right now.  Will the future be a place where giving someone a hug is considered destructive and problem causing?  What if I'm having a bad day?  Will the quick answer be just take some sort of anti-depression drug?  I really hope not, because that's not going to solve anything.  What will fix things is when people listen to each other, care for each other, and accept each other.  Trying to always be right will never work.  If your wrong, just apologize and move on, it's really not that hard a concept.  I think if we just listened to one person each day it would even solve so much.  It's ignoring someone that starts things, it's very easy to become depressed, but luckily its very easy to listen to.  And that simple 10 minutes of listening can make a persons day.  Make them see their not alone, have a friend, or just someone who cares, because when they go home their might not be anyone who does.  People are good in heart, I definitely can agree with Anne Frank on that one.. it's just, something goes wrong, and that's what I think we need to work on, one person at a time; the world can be changed.

: "Tonight, Tonight" - Smashing Pumpkins

time is never time at all
you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
and our lives are forever changed
we will never be the same
the more you change the less you feel
believe, believe in me, believe
that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
we're not the same, we're different tonight
tonight, so bright
tonight
and you know you're never sure
but you're sure you could be right
if you held yourself up to the light
and the embers never fade in your city by the lake
the place where you were born
believe, believe in me, believe
in the resolute urgency of now
and if you believe there's not a tonight
tonight, so bright
tonight
we'll crucify the insincere tonight
we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
we'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
the indescribable moments of your life tonight
the impossible is possible tonight
believe in me as i believe in you, tonight

: mmmm...well I seem to over done it on asking for CDs for my bday and xmas :P .

-- List (cds i've got in the last week'ish):

 Halou - Wiser

 Back To Mine (Faithless version)

 Lord of The Rings - Movie Score

 Pink Floyd - Echoes

 Everything But The Girl - Temperamental

Now to just listen to all those :P . I've also got a hold of Staind's Break the Cycle, much thanks to Amanda :)  So thats also now fighting for my fav ablum from last year.  While I didn't buy it last year, Eagles' Greatest Hits has also fought its way in.  In an odd turn of events, I've managed to lose my Incubus Mourning view burned CD, where it could of got to, I'm clueless... I've looked everywhere, checked most of my CD cases... only like 80 more to go ;) .  I never lose stuff, especially CDs .. so it can't hide for much longer :)  Halou's Wiser is still kicking my listening ass, so despite being new, I'm still gonna keep it in the fighting list.

01/01/02

: Hey, new year.  Well after some self debate..I've somewhat narrowed my choice for my favorite album that I bought of the year.  Just a note, I never bought the Staind album, or I think that could be a contender, it has a lot of good singles.. but ah well.  So the 'contendees' are Tool's Lateralus , Incubus' Mourning View , and a new contender, Halou's Wiser.  However, I just bought Wiser..so I'm giving it some work in time to test staying power, I do really like it at the moment though.  Ill put the other two on to my CD listening schedule for the next few days and see if I can come up with a winner, the other 9ish shouldn't be to hard.  Those two were definitely in my CD player the longest this year, there were some other good releases and ones I bought, but their staying power and ability to still sound as good as first listen is what lowered them..

I didn't do better either :P I managed to get the same score, 1210.  I guess this is good considering I thought I did terrible.  And well.. this time I got a 610 on math, 600 on verbal (switched from last time).  I think I'm done with these SAT things though, on to the ACTS now, hopefully I'll do better on those.  Gota love christmas at our house, yelling, fighting, the usual family holiday activites.  Hope everyone else is enjoying the holidays!

: Indoor started today, well kinda.. we had a meeting.  Anyway, this is what I've been looking forward to so much.  This where I'll get to see all the work from XC payoff hopefully.  Not sure if we'll beable to top last year, but we have some extremely talented people, and I think if we work the same as the year before that we could do it again (win that is).  I've got some goals for myself, I think they're very probable, and could maybe even be surpassed because I've never came in to indoor with the base I have now.

    Someone once asked my friend why he runs.  Since then I've tried to figure out why I do, and I'm not sure I have a definite answer yet.  Its just one of those things you do because is the best I can give.  I do know I love the sport, and the people that run are definitely of a different mind set then other sports (partially due to what it requires).  Its definitely a sport which lets you think though, and I always like time where my mind can just wander.

"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."    - Jesse Owens

: Little bathroom inspiration here.  Was brushing my teeth, and the words just kept coming.  Imagine the Bob Marley song "Get Up, Stand up" playing in the back (minus lyrics of course).

You think your at your best?

but you ain't no step above the rest

You wanna be high?

why don't you just go fly

Crying aint your game

well who you got to blame?

Stopping not to easy

maybe people dieing not to crazy..

[Refrain: ]

Get up out'a bed

cause your just not dead

there's a world to see

and 1million people to be

Words flow'n free

I won't hug no tree

Say you saw the stars

well all I got is scars

You think smokin's cool?

well maybe your just a fool

Got a gun in your pocket?

why not mom and dads picture in your locket?

Get up out'a bed

cause your just not dead

there's a world to see

and 1million people to be

Got no aspirin for your pain?

why not just try and abstain

Have the looks you call real

but how much can you feel?

Say moneys not your thing

then why all the bling bling

Just wanna dance all night?

well then why you gotta fight?

Get up out'a bed

cause your just not dead

there's a world to see

and 1million people to be

Just get up...

Just get up out'a bed

Cause your just....not...dead.....

: Was listening to music and some lyrics shot into my head, I usually just forget them but I decided to write them down today. 

"There's a ripple in the mirror

and I can't seem to find myself."

maybe I'll be able to play with these and actually make something productive.  Just a note...they don't related to anything really in me, they were just random and sounded cool. And some more:

"There's a crack in the glasses

and I can't see you clearly."

Feel free to play with these yourself. (No I'm not talking to the journal'esque thing which this is :P

11/05/01

: Well, I finished reading The Pigman last night, finally!  Zindel really does a good job building up to the end of this book.

" We had trespassed too-been where we didn't belong, and we were being punished for it.  Mr. Pignati had paid with his life.  But when he died something in us had died as well.

    There was no one else to blame anymore.  No Bores or Old Ladies or Nortons, or Assassins waiting at the bridge.  And there was no place to hide-no place across any rive for a boatman to take us.

    Our life would be what we made of it-nothing more, nothing less.

    Baboons.

    Baboons.

    They build their own cages, we could almost hear the Pigman whisper, as he took his children with him."

    A lot of what happens here related to the book(you'l have to read to understand more).  But I really like the ending sentence in all that most.  (The Pigman had just recently died a death due to heart-attack after hearing his favorite baboon Bobo has died.)  By saying as he died he took his children with him, Zindel makes the comparison to the two kids growing up or losing their childhood due to the realization of the mans death.  By making the two teens see what can really happen when you grow old, Zindel shows the reader what carelessness with your younger years can easily lead to-a loss of your childhood forever.

*sorry if that fails to make a lot of sense, its not school, just something I felt the need to state on my own.

    These last chapters also made me think more on my own later in the night.  I'm almost 17 years old.  Thats almost 17 years of my life gone.  Its strange to look back and see all the things you've done, and how you were.  Its sorta saddening to see yourself grow up and losing all the innocence that I once had.  In 17 more years ill be 34, that's old! (well right now).  Looking back at what I can remember I think i've enjoyed my childhood, and well, some of the memories are good :P  I hope over the next years as I finish High School, go to college, get a job, and who knows what else, that I can still remember these last 17 years of my life.  That I can still remember how I felt under certain occasions, how I acted to certain events, and just how to have fun.  If you lose your childhood, you lose a part of you, 17 years would be half my life at 34, imagine losing half your life!  

    I see things differently these days, mostly jaded images of what I learned over the last few years.  (We didn't really win every war for example).  But when I was younger I didn't care for this anyway,  all I wanted was to enjoy myself and experience more.  I think that's a major thing we lose.  The will to experience more, to gain, to learn, to see, and to take in.  Those are all things we do naturally as a child, but as a "mature adult" we have to analyze everything to make it fit in someway; not just excepting it for what its value is.  

    I think if we can all remember some part of the "child" in us, that we can continue to grow throughout our life(or in my case, the next 17yrs).  If your lucky enough to still have that child in you today, don't ever let it go, brandish it and never let the memories fade.

[/end statement]  wow...that was a lot of writing...take that stupid (assumingly) low AP English average!

Joni Mitchell does one of my favorite songs that happens to relate to this subject, so I thought I'd paste the lyrics here.

Joni Mitchell - "The Circle Game"

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him,
Take your time, it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

: Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without my music collection.  Took me some 3+ hours to finish my french project, so I went through a wide variety of my CDs that i hadn't listened to in a while.  Helped out at a retreat yesterday with 7th graders, it was a good experience to be in that kind of situation again.  Met some cool new people to :)  I applied to work at media play for a few weeks, hopefully I can make some money I don't really need before Indoor Track starts up.  I can't wait for indoor!!  X-C was a good experience, I'm glad I made the decision to switch over.  Next year I'm gonna push the limits now that I understand the sport a lot better.

: Happy Halloween :)

Good Friday - Cowboy Junkies

Sat at my window watched the world
Wake up this morning
Purple sky slowly turning golden,
Distant elms so orange
You'd swear they're burning

All this flowing water
Has got my mind wandering.
Do you ever finally reach
A point of knowing
Or do you just wake up one day
And say, I am going?

What will I tell you
When you ask me why I'm crying
Will I point above
At the Red Tail gracefully soaring
Or down below where it's prey
Is quietly trembling?

Two thousand years ago Jesus is left there hanging.
Purple sky slowly turning golden.
Cowards at his feet loudly laughing.
Loved ones stumbling homeward
Their words reeling.
Red Tail above my head quietly soaring.
Waters turn from ice, creak is roaring.
He says, enough of all this shit I am going.

Found that on an older CD my mom gave me that she didn't like.  Those lyrics aren't to bad, eh?  I kinda like them ;)

: Its amazing what a 17/40 on a physics test can do to your grade.  Not only that..but what it can do to your great mood :P I really don't know how it happened...just blanked out completely, and now im digging myself out of one hell of a hole.  On the lighter side, bought my BT - R&R cd, it kicks some dancing ass, I love the spanish guitar on the Remember mix...mmmmmm

: Interestingly enough its taken the sounds from a early 70's band combined with the catchy euro-pop lyrics of a recent band to make me feel great lately.  If anyone doesn't believe music can alter you mood, I definitely beg to differ.  The Eagle's early blues-ish classic rock sound mixed with Travis's uplifting catchy melodies have just made my last few days.  I've been getting a lot of sleep, reading my book, and mainly feeling great about myself.  I kinda like it :)  On another note, BT's R&R is released tomorrow; I will own this before the day is out :) .. Incubus's new CD is also released, but that will have to wait.  BT here I come!
