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

So yesterday and today have been good days so far, and I've been enjoying myself. I've managed to get through all of my work and stuff for the week without getting completely owned by any given subject, and while I'm really tired, I'm in an upbeat mood.

Yesterday I had my hair straightened by one of my friends, and that's where the new picture was from, I took it from my computer once it was finished. I forgot how much I miss wearing that sweater, I think it looks nice on me. I hung out with some buddies later that night, watched a movie and did some homework, so it was a nice night. I also got to talk with some friends of mine online that I hadn't spoken with in a very long time, and it was nice to catch up some.

I'm headed back home later tonight to see my parents. My mom is coming home from a trip she took out to Texas earlier this week, and my dad is driving up to Tech in about an hour to pick me up, and then to go to the airport to get her. I'm pretty pumped, she's going to get me a University of Texas t-shirt, Hook 'em horns! (My roommate Nathan is a huge Texas fan, he'll be happy I can be a fan with him)

Today I got complimented on my hair a bunch, and it was nice. It always feels nice to know that you look good, people should try complimenting each other more often. My friends who are girls always tell me I can seem like a creeper when I tell them they look lovely that day, but I think it's a nice thing to do. Oh well, I guess I'll continue to be a creeper, just 'cause I like telling people they look nice.

I have to go pack some laundry to take home with me, but I'll leave this post with some music (I'm sorry it's such bad quality):



I'm sick and tired of everybody
Thinkin they know what's best for me and
Maybe god wanted me to be
Nothing special.
I'm past the point of breakin in I'm
Not sure if I'm a gonna make it
I'll keep this gift from breakin
as long as you believe.

I remember walking in the park on a lovely sunday afternoon.
I won't give up on you she said
Don't be so afraid (so afraid)
I'll maintain as long as you believe in.... me...
(Greetings from the bottom, How many times I wanted to be a part of your complacency)

This is the part of the song where I just don't give a fuck about what you want
What you heard, what you thought
I won't give up that easily
Hold me in your tenderness.
over rated, so ungrateful is me.
