So I thought I'd honor one of my all time favorite movies, Edward Scissorhands. Tim Burton does an excellent job of combining his dark sense of humour with a wonderful love story, I can watch this movie over and over again and never get tired of it.
What Am I Here For?
I'm a freshman in college, and quite frankly, have no clue what I'm doing. I'm getting good grades yes, but I still don't have a major yet. The need for freedom is knawing at my being. I wish I could just travel the world like I used to and snap pictures of people in their natural element, or sketch the beautiful scenery. Maybe even travel with my acoustic on my back and play for random people that walk by on the corner. All I know is, that being stuck in a cubicle for the rest of my life is not an option. I really miss traveling with my fam; they just returned from a 3 week tour oversees which included Greece, Russia, London, Norway...and tons of other places. Being in one spot for so long is killing me... I shouldn't complain though, recieving a college education is extremely important, I just had to vent!
Bright Star
"I almost wish we were butterflies and lived but three summer days. Three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain"

If Only I Could
A brand new baby was born yesterday,
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said, your tears are like mine
I heard some wordsfrom a friend on the phone,
didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I'd give him more if I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
Down the middle drops one more
grain of sand
They say that
new life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
they help ease the mind
I miss my old friend
And though you gotta go
we'll keep a piece of your soul
One goes out
One comes in
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
-Jack Johnson
This post is dedicated to a very special friend that just lost her baby girl. I know that she is dancing with the angels :)

All summer she scattered the daisy leaves; They only mocked her as they fell. She said: "The daisy but deceives; 'He loves me not,' 'he loves me will, 'One story no two daisies tell." Ah foolish heart, which waits and grieves under the daisy's mocking spell.

The Catcher In The Rye
"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 22, spoken by the character Holden Caulfield
This is how I imagine the field that Holden imagines... very gloomy, but somehow serene and calming at the same time. The Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books.
