So, I love this song. Simple as that.

Wedding Song Thoughts...
Since last night's song was a tad bit depressing, I think tonight I'll have the song I might have as my "First Dances" at my wedding... First off is the one I think would be good for the father/daughter, "Never Gonna Be Alone" by Nickelback: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt2kM0TsubU&ob=av2n... and my other, the one for me and my obviously insane new husband (after all, he did marry me), "All or Nothing" by Theory of a Deadman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk5BBOha9PU. This is, of course, greatly subject to change when I meet the man who I'll someday be dancing that dance with and we discover our song. But right now, this song is the one I like the most. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a psycho who fantasizes about her wedding every moment with every guy she has a crush on. It's just that like most girls, I think about it sometimes and what my colors would be, what my dress might look like, that sort of thing; and when I heard this song, I thought it'd be a pretty good song to have playing during that first dance with my new husband. So there.

Home-Daughtry
I was walking around the other day, this song started playing, and for some strange reason, it hit me that this is the song I want to play at my funeral. It's a good song in any case, but I kind of like the metaphor for heaven being home, which is kind of how I think about it, and hopefully where I'll end up. Depressing, I know. Anyway, : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bnX-6sJZBw

Watch Over You-Alter Bridge
I love how soft this song is, and yet it's still kind of rocking with the drum beat. That, and it reminds me of a friend of mine who I haven't seen in forever. Alter Bridge rocks. Anyway, here's the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lIdymq0DZc

One Day Too Late-Skillet
So, I've realized that it's impossible for me to keep up a blog of just my thoughts and such, so what I'm doing from now on is this: I'm going to post a song, possibly every night, that reflects how I'm feeling or what I'm thinking. It's just way easier for me and now my cousin can actually have something to read about in my blog (hi, Rach).
For copyright purposes, let me say from here on out I do not own any of the songs I post or the videos made for them. That being said, enjoy.

What Makes Me Smile
It's the little things and the big things that make me smile, like...
When a favorite song comes on the radio, and I have someone to share it with. Or, it's the perfect moment for the song.
When my little brother (either one) comes up to give me a hug just because.
When my friends and I laugh about absolutely nothing, except it's 3 A.M. and everything's funnier then.
When I remember said 3 A.M. joke later the next day.
Every time I say hello to someone in the hallway.
When I just have an awesome day.
Opening a can of Dr. Pepper and taking that first, delicious sip.
Pretending my family can't hear me and completely rocking out in the shower.
Reminding myself that better days will come, and I'll always have love, because I've got a pretty awesome God if nothing else.
Watching two friends of mine slow dance at a school dance and softly sing the lyrics to each other.
Witnessing any kind of sweet act of love really.
Watching Scrubs on a cold night with a fuzzy sweater and a cup of hot chocolate in my favorite coffee mug from an Irish pub in Florida.
Laughing my ass off with my friends over some act of stupidity either I or someone else just committed.
Falling asleep to the sound of rain with some thunder and lightning on the side, and/or waking up in the middle of the night to a storm.
Celebrating any kind of occasion, like another year of life, or just something special that happened to a friend.
Reading a really good book in my favorite chair/bed with a good CD like Shinedown or Evanescence playing in my rather crappy old radio that I keep around anyway because it has really good sound.
Those serious late-night conversations with my friends of reminiscing and trying to figure out our lives.
The way the sky looks from my backyard, whether it's day or night.
How I always have a song playing in the back of my head.
The fact that no matter where I go in this town, I always run into someone I know.
When I see a really funny or just plain awesome and/or touching status on Facebook.
And how no matter where I go or what I do, I'm always going to remember you.

In Love....
A friend of mine posted this on Facebook, and I hope he doesn't mind me using it, because here it is:
If Girls Get Butterflies, What Do Guys Get?
Us boys, we don't get butterflies. We get fireworks. We don't have you on our mind 24/7, but we do have you on our hearts. Often, yes, we wait for you to get online. Sometimes just seeing your name under "Online Friends" makes our heart skip a beat, even if we don't chat. Whenever you talk to us, our face gets that half smile; it means we are happy but are trying our hardest not to show is, and failing at hiding it. We do miss you all the time; granted, we'd spend all of our time with you. We don't think of the smallest things you say, we think of every word you say, panicking at every single word, trying to define what it really means, to read between the lines.
We would love you in a million ways. And once we start loving you there is no going back for us. No matter how hard we try we will always love a girl who has touched our hearts. We will think of that girl first thing in the morning, and think of that girl last before we go to sleep at night. Whenever we see a couple, our thoughts immediately jump to that girl, and imagine that the couple was us. Every single detail about her is loved; the way she walks, talks, speaks. The sound of her voice. Her laughter. The sparkle in her eyes. Her shy smile. The way she dresses. That cute face she makes when she's asleep. And the way she says our name that our hearts just explode with joy, a simple act that no one else can replicate.
A boy in love with a girl is no simple thing, though ladies stereotype us guys as simple. A man in love is not simple. No, he will be unpredictable. He will be persistent, stubborn, and, if given the circumstance, would carry you around the world and back to win your heart. He will be a martyr, giving his all and asking for almost none. He will show you how to appreciate the beauty of the world in a thousand ways, and then tell you how much he appreciates your beauty in a million ways.
A man in love is no simple thing.
Now, I'm a girl, so I really don't know if this is how guys get about a girl, but I do know this:
We girls, we don't just get butterflies in our stomachs; our hearts leap for joy. We have you guys on our hearts as well, if not on our minds. And yes, seeing your name on the Chat List makes our hearts pound. If you're online while we are, the whole time we are praying you will say something to us, even if it's just a simple "Hello". When you talk to us, we cannot stop smiling, no matter hard we try, just because you're talking to us. We don't just miss you all the time, we wonder where you are, what you're doing right now, and we hope you're having a good time. We think of each word you speak to us, treasure it in our hearts, and ponder all the possible meanings of them. No, we don't remember every single word, we remember the meaning and the actions behind them.
We love you more than we think we do, and we would willingly do anything for you if it meant you would never leave. When we start loving you, we never completely stop, even if the relationship ends. We look upon the memories of you with fondness, and never forget even the smallest act of affection. We think of you at the first moment of the dawn and the last minute of the night. We think of the parts of our day that we will or might see you, and when those moments arrive, you completely and immediately overtake our thoughts. Everything about you we love; nothing is left out. If we truly love you, we do not judge, we don't run away, for we are one and the same, both dark and light. From your deepest, darkest secret to your crooked smile, we only love.
A girl in love is a complicated thing. Girls never really are predictable, and it only gets worse when we're in love. We won't be just unpredictable, we'll be surprising, genuine, sacrificing, and loving. Most of us like it when you show us common courtesy, but we would gladly return the favor for you. We don't ask for anything but your love, and return it a million times stronger. A girl in love will show you things you would never have known, never have believed, never have felt without her, and then she will show you how each thing reflects upon you to make you even more the man she knows and loves.
The guy a girl loves becomes a man through her love. A girl in love becomes a woman in his love.
