Laundry and Music

I am out of clothes... well that's not true but I need to go get change and wash my underwear and sheets and towels.. I am sure you wanted to know that. I found a cockroach in my make-up drawer today. I hope its still there because if it isn't then its in my room somewhere.

Ive spent a lot of the past few days listening to new music. I am so use to getting music from all of my friends and having all old music that reminds me of old times. I want to go home from my experience here with a new taste and with music that reminds me of being here. SO I have been on MySpace and I found a hefty list of really good acoustic/soul/folk/rock/pop totally my genre. A lot of the music I have been listening too is about things like world problems. Check out Brett Dennen Make You Crazy... its really good. All of his stuff is good. Justin Young, Tyrone Wells, Laura Jansen, Todd Carey, The Paper Raincoat, Alexa Wilkinson, Trey Lockerbie, Matt Duke, John West, Jay Nash, Jessie Baylin... all very good music.. I can't download all of them because I dont have that kind of money. I wish i did though. I have been listening to them on Myspace in my room. SO i am typically in here. Plus its raining.

Last night I sat in a cloud. The clouds were rolling down from the hills and mountians and I sat in one. Wasn't what I expected. Good time to thank Mother Nature

I have been thinking about traveling after school this summer. I really want to go back to El Salvador for a few weeks before I fly home for the summer (to work at putt-putt). There is really nothing better for a college kid then being able to experience how others live. I feel like I am always learning. I wish I could sit in my Political Science and Philosophy class all the time because I am constantly learning in there. I learn about history of the islands and I learn about how the islanders feel about it. Its amazing. I feel like all i say is how amazing it is here but really that is how I feel. I can see the Caribbean Sea from my bedroom window. I wish YOU could see it too. It is seriously a life changing experience being out of the United States mainland.

I can't wait to see where else living here will take me. I just hope I keep growing and learning about others. I truly believe to grow in yourself you have to understand the world around you. So many people spend all their time worring about growing up and getting a job and being older than they are. Even the people who stop and smell the flowers don't really stop and smell the flowers. We are SO lucky to have this earth and we rarely remember that. With everything wrong that is happing around us you would think we would try to focus on something positive. And when you look outside you and see the beauty right in front of you its obvious that we need to worry about something other than all the negativity.

One day I will change something. a BIG change.
When we were little and we did something that wasn't right in my moms eyes she would say something like "how is that helping you become the person you want to be? What kind of person do you want to be?" We would always sit there like we didnt have an answer and so she would say "do you want to be someone who sits around and doesnt change anything? You are meant for more than that, you are going to change the world. You have more in you than how you are acting. " Chandler always wanted to change the world and feed poor people but i always wanted to go shopping. NOW I get it. NOW I see what needs to be done. I guess thats why i like traveling because i can see what needs to be done around the world. Nothing like a different culture to teach you that. That is why i want to go to El Salvador when i get done here. That is why i want to travel from island to island here because they are all different. Each group of people has their own story. I LOVE STORIES>>


Check out these lyrics...

Make You Crazy --- Brett Dennen
Its enough to make you go crazy its enought to make you mad. its enought to make you go crazy
and im amazed i havent yet.

isnt it a shame the way we treat each other, treat each other, beat each other, its a shame the way we use one another, abuse one another and screw one another... they will lock you up in prison but they wont call it slaverly there are stolen children raised and trained in armies..........


No i am not a hippie.. i know someone is thinking that. :D

Peace and LOVE

I found your cockroach blub very amusing. It made me miss you and your quirky sense of humor. I really really enjoy reading your journal. You are probably talking to C. J. as I'm typing this painfully slow. Love you, Granny
