Music: Kings of Leon

Happy Tuesday Morning, dear blog readers.  Like I said in my post yesterday, I want to post more often.  Content may sometimes be trivial and length unintimidating and short ("OOOh good.  Finally!" you may be thinking).  Actually, that's sort of one of the side goals of posting more often- some shorter and more light hearted posts. 

Today, I'm sharing with you what I've been listening to as of late which, subsequently is also what's playing in my head.  It's the new Kings of Leon Mechanical Bull album.  I actually picked this bad boy up for $7 on black friday but couldn't decide whether I wanted to keep it or not.  After it sitting, unopened, in a target bag on the floor of my room for about a month and a half, I decided to just open the thing.  I had gotten one of the songs, Temple, as a free download from starbucks and really liked it.  I also listened to the rest of the album on Spotify to see if I actually wanted it and I liked the sound of most of the songs on there.  I will warn you that a few of them have some language in one or two parts, but other than that, I love the sound of this album.  It makes me want to take a roadtrip and have a dance party and know how to play guitar and sing along all at once.  It's pretty hard not to bob my head to these songs on my morning commute to work.
It's actually pretty hard to pick just one song to showcase but here's Temple which remains my favorite of this album. Mostly for its incredibly catchy qualities but it's got some alright lyrics too.

We Meet Again

Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...

Seasons: The Future

So about the future.  I obviously don't know it so it makes sense that this one might be a little shorter (or longer-it could logically go either way, I just went with shorter). There are litterally (at least) a hundred different ways it could go. After the internship I'm doing, I might stay on there. Or I might come back here. If I come back here I could work, go away to college, take classes from home, live with my parents, move out with some friends, get some kind of certification and work a more specific job, come back to the office job I have now, etc. Or I could move to CA and live with some family and find a job with some distant cousins. Or I could move to some other random state and adventure there. The list of possibilities goes on and on. What sounds best to me right now is to do one of the aforementioned options that have to do with moving back here but we really will see won't we.

Thankful Thursday: Sweet heart hurts.

I was going to say "Happy Thursday to you!"  And if you're having a happy Thursday, good for you.  In the sense of wishing someone a happy day I suppose I do wish you that.  However,  I do not mean that I feel happy on this Thursday. So maybe more like "Thoughtful and introspective Thursday!" Doesn't sound as nice as "Happy Thursday" but that's okay. I'm not particularly happy on this Thursday and for fear of tempting you to judge whether or not my reason for not being happy is legitimate or not (some people feel like they have that position, you know) I won't go into the details of why. I will say that I miss somebody today.  More than just one; I miss him and his whole family. Without going into more detail on that, I'll tell you that my heart hurts today.  The why is irrelevant for the sake of what I'm trying to say; but it does hurt. There are at least two kinds of heart hurts I think: ( There is good news though beca...
