goodbye hometown.

hello new town.

i'm finally all settled into my new apartment. and let me tell you somethin.. even though it's only twenty minutes away from home, it feels so weird.

but it feels good.

raise your glasses to new things :)

longboarding.

i love you, longboard. (oh, and you too friends :)

think about it.

you're a waiter/waitress at a restaurant. you ask the people you're serving what they want, and someone says "i'll have an Adri leg please."

what?

"an Adri leg."

we only have chicken legs. is that okay?

"no.. i said an Adri leg."

if it's so horrible to ask for a human body part for dinner, why is it NOT horrible to ask for a chicken leg? hmm.

i'm not preaching. i'm just sayin.

tallica.

"I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that." -Paul McCartney.

(p.s. i've decided to name my guitar Tallica. i've been calling her "guitar" for far too long :)

our weapon.

hey everybody take a look around. put your money where your mouth is, take your eyes off the ground. we got a hard day a-comin' if we can't work out all the pissy little problems that we're fightin' about.

see, i never got involved in politics 'cause they always brought out the worst in my folks. but i always swore to them: if i could make or change it all, i'd love this world. before it implodes.

'cause we all want change, and we want it now..

hey everybody take a look around. put your money where your mouth is, take your eyes off the ground. we got a hard day a-comin' if we can't work out all the pissy little problems that we're fightin' about.

and love is the weapon for this lukewarm congregation.

love is the only thing that's kept me believing.

love is the weapon for this wounded generation.

love is the only thing that's kept me believing that the world will change.

yeah, we all want change.

hey everybody take a look around. put your money where your mouth is, take your eyes off the ground. we got a hard day a-comin' if we can't work out all the pissy little problems that we're fightin' about.

you may or may not understand

my love for harry potter. but i just finished watching the order of the phoenix, for probably the 27th time, and i'm just obsessing over how cool dumbledore is. once again.

just like albus always says:

if there is one thing voldemort cannot understand, it is love. he didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. not a scar. no visible sign... to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. it is in your very skin.

it is our choices.. that show what we truly are, far more than our abilites.

it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

so far this summer..

parade.

best friend's wedding.

camp out.

dance party.

movie premieres.

reservoir.

:) how's your summer going?

simple enough.

to be nobody but

yourself

in a world that's doing it's best to make you

somebody else,

is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight.

never stop fighting.

-E.E. Cummings

in other words, don't forget to keep it real, homies.
