Every now and then some thoughts run through my mind that I really need to let go of....here are a few...Comments anyone? Post something in the message board. Please do. :)

Freedom of speech is only as important or as detrimental as the intentions behind it. It's up to the interpreters (general public) to determine its worth. - All I'm really saying is...I hope people out there really think about what they are being subjected to through things like the media. Someday maybe I will be heard...and boy, do I have a lot to say.

I recommend ANYONE to take a New Testament class or some kind of class that discusses the history of that time period in that area and the background behind different religions. It is more like a study of psychology, history, politics, sociology, theology, and detective work all put together. I wish there were more atheists in my class actually - more variety in opinions. It definately is an eye-opener...gets you to think about things that are still going on in the world (more times than not this is unfortunate) If everyone took notice to how often things in history repeat themselves we might have avoided some problems we go through today. But hey...in the comfortable environment we find ourselves in today, we find no need to look into things like this. Why bother, right?

I define poetry as something that couldn't be said in any other way. If there were a TV show that could be identified as poetry, I would call it "The Wonder Years". This show is dedicated to pretty much every emotion that every person will go through at some point. I truly hope it airs for many years to come and that people will still watch it, because it truly applies to any generation. I tip my hat to the wonderfully talented writers.

Astronomically Speaking... Given the estimated size of our universe, it is widely expected that additional intelligent life exists out there somewhere. The chances of ever contacting them is very slim, however, for myriad reasons. They could be too far to reach with our technology - we could be long extinct by the time a reply reaches us. Or perhaps they may not be listening - recieving our contacts but giving no reply. Maybe some are currently in their Stone Age while we are in our prime. Furthermore, it is believed by some that there may be 100 different civilizations in the universe and only one out of the 100 with the probability of survival - the other 99 end up dead due to war amongst themselves. This is why our intelligence and insight has helped us to invent the atomic bomb...Right?

Simplicity can be the strongest ingredient for love. For some, however, the only difficulty is recognizing these signs of love and showing them enough.

Miscommunication is the root of all evil. If everyone took the time to understand each other who knows what the world would be like.

Life is so unlimited. So why do we persist on limiting our goals? I live in a small town (well,not even...more like a spaced out village) and I know that half of the things I dream of doing would be so much easier had I lived in a highly populated city. But since when am I afraid of doing a little work? As a songwriter, its the journey in between that gives you the stories to write about. Don't ever sell yourself short.

Brace yourself, this may sound pathetic....then again, at this very moment I am...
Still packing my stuff for college. As I look around my room, its really starting to sink in. These walls know me better than any person can. The songs I'd write, the ideas, they were all made in this tiny room. But now little by little things are starting to disappear. And I know a new stage in my life is trying to gradually sneak up on me without me noticing, but I can see it dead in its tracks. This is the place where I'd play my guitar day and night, where I'd cry in my pillow when I'd be at my weakest. For christ's sake, this place has seen me naked. But at the same time, the walls would speak to me and inspire me with "words of wisdom" from magazine clippings, memorabilia, photographs, etc. Someday I know this room will be different and when college is over, so will I. But I don't want things to start changing just yet. I don't want to take down these photos, or these posters, or these brochures of where I've been. I don't want to take down these senior week beads, or get rid of these stuffed animals that have collected over the years, or have the glitter on my walls painted over, or take down my highschool volleyball jersey, or the newspaper clippings, or pack up all of my guitars for a new unfamiliar place....Going through times like this somewhere else feels like making love to a complete stranger when you already know who the one is. Well...I have 2 more days here, I'll have some time to serenade my room with a few melodies. I know once I leave, every time I come back something is going to be missing. But I must close the door sometime. Just give me a moment...

Embrace love as much as possible...they won't always be around...
