"There's nothing here to take for granted, with each breath that we take"

I got a little sleep last night, and I woke up fairly refreshed, so that's a positive note of the day. I woke up, washed up, and all that jazz, and have been keeping myself in a good mood. I went and got a late lunch with my roommate Nathan, and one of my future roommates (for next year) Michael. We got some Chick-Fil-A, and had a nice chat in the student center today. Then we hopped on the bus back to the dorm, and I cleaned the dorm room some. Lost was on a little while ago, so I watched that earlier tonight, and it was AMAZING. Nothing like Lost to give me something to look forward to every week.

I'm debating whether or not I should go home for the weekend, I can't really decide. I don't really have anything all that important to do back home, but it's nice to go back every once in a while. In other news, I got to talk with my friend Lisa out in California for the first time in a while today it's nice being able to chat with her, we've been too busy lately to really chat much, and I kind of missed it. It was another bright spot in the day, which ended up being very nice.

The weather ended up being quite crummy around here lately, as there was a tornado warning earlier in the night, as well as one heck of a lightning show. It was beautiful to watch, I wish I could have taken a video or something to show! We had a little bit of hail and stuff, and I totally wasn't expecting some kind of severe thunderstorm/tornado warning earlier in the day. It's a good thing I didn't get out too much today.

There seems to be a lot going on around my birthday this year, and while I'm not exactly the biggest fan of my birthday, it should be a fun time of year. I still need to find something to look forward to though, get excited for some event or something (I've realized I really miss college football, and was a good distraction for when I was stressed). I really want to go to some kind of concert soon, or something, maybe in the near future! I figure I'll force myself to think more positive things, and positive results will come. My life has seemed to be in a bit of a rut lately, and I need to think happier and do more things that make me happy. Wish me luck!

I haven't really posted any music lately, but here I go, I hope at least somebody listens to this stuff (my cousin sent me this album recently, and I thought the music video was kind of neat, plus I like how the band dresses):




I should have seen those signs all around me,
But I was comfortable inside these wounds;
So go ahead and take another piece of me now
While we all bow down to you;

You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and still it’s not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and you’ll be
The death of me!

How can you end my affliction
If you’re the sickness and I’m the cure?
Too long I’ve faked this addiction,
Another sacrifice to make us pure;

You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and still it’s not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and you’ll be
The death of me!

You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and still it’s not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and you’ll be
The death of me!

I won’t forget;
I cannot forget this;
I won’t forget;
I’ll never forget this;
I won’t forget;
I cannot forget this;
I won’t forget;
I’ll never forget this;

I won’t forget!
I cannot forget this!
I won’t forget!
I’ll never forget!

You know I can never prove this solution;
You aren’t the one that I thought you were;
And so I learn to embrace this illusion,
The line that separates- it starts to blur;

You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and say it’s not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and you’ll be
The death of me!

And you’ll be the death of me!

I will not forget!
I cannot forget this!
And you’ll be the death of me!
