They will see us waving from such great heights

So I don't ever really tap in to the person I used to be. But there is a time for everything. And I used to be particularly talented at some things that could be of use these days.
  1. Making friends
  2. Getting the guy
  3. Being confident (sometimes too much so)
On the wall over my desk I taped a piece of paper. I look at this paper about a hundred times a day. Eventually I will believe what is written on it. The paper reminds me "IT'S NOT PERSONAL!! STOP WORRYING" in big blue letters. Although the words have saved many a brain cell, their presence makes me feel like a mental patient.


See? Oh a great song just came on my iTunes! While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles. Simply amazing. I would put the song on here if I knew how to. But here's a link to the video on YouTube.

Next from the speakers is Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah. Dang he's good.

Oh check this picture out! I recently moved to a different dorm, so I borrowed some tubs to pack in. I found this caution sticker on one of them and just couldn't resist taking a picture.


Some sad person has actually tried shutting their baby in these!! I understand getting tired and annoyed by a baby, but stowing your child away is not the answer people. So please refrain.

Study Break

This is my little break from studying for my World Lit. test tomorrow.  I have several videos on my computer that I love to watch all the time.  Whenever I need to smile or just slip away for a moment i'll pull up one of my favorite videos.  So here it goes...


The first video is a clip from one of the greatest movies of all time, Top Gun.  If you haven't seen the movie, you need to get on that boat a.s.a.p.  Tom Cruise may not be the most brilliant man in the film industry now, but this movie was filmed in 1986 before he went crazy.

You have to admit, that is way better than a regular pick-up line!  Any girl would be crazy to refuse him after an impressive display like that.  The Righteous Brothers should be proud!  Unfortunately this only partially makes up for the slaughtering of "Unchained Melody" done by Ghost.  


The next video is not from a movie, but a concert in London in 1991.  I wish to everything that I could've witnessed this legendary performance.  I'll talk about it after you watch because I want it to be a suprise!  

My reaction to this video is downright pathetic.  Usually tears are involved.  Always chill bumps.  And i'm not even a huge Elton John or George Michael fan!  Music is just that powerful...  Look at the crowd.  How is it that music can move people so much?  


I don't have enough time to put any more on here tonight, but I still have sooo many to put on here some other time.  Odysseus is calling me.
