I love loooooooove movies, almost as much as music! And the one lesson I learned before many others is to never let a day go by without letting the ones you love, know that you love them. Lol I know that may seem a little silly, but it's true. I have the ability to get extremely emotionally involved in stories of all kinds. Whether it's music, a play, or a book, I get into it like you wouldn't believe. So when you think about some very common plot lines, someone being in a situation where tragedy happens to someone they've been away from, was pretty popular. Someone is wishing they could talk to so and so just one last time. Now I am a very firm believer of letting people know they are appreciated, as much as possible. Tomorrow is never promised, right?
Isn't it ironic that I drive a brand new giant SUV, use aerosol hair sheen but will not allow myself to throw trash on the ground. Isn't it ironic that there's a woman somewhere doing her damnedest to convince people how horrible abortions are and to be "pro life" even though she has no idea where her own children are 90% of the time or what they're doing? Isn't it ironic that the person who just rudely cut you off in traffic is yelling at you because you honked at them? Isn't it ironic that people watch reality shows to make fun of the people involved, yet those people are making millions off them, while they work a 9-5 and are hating life? Isn't it ironic that civil rights groups get all up in arms about a white/non black person killing a black person but say nothing about the disastrous number of black on black murders? Isn't it ironic when white supremists tell other races to go back where they came from, as if they originated in America themselves?
A long time ago, it took a very good friend to look me in the eye and tell me there's nothing wrong with asking for help. It was with her advice that I learned how to truly start being less co dependant on other people. I know that may sound odd, but it makes sense in my twisted logic, loll. I was fortunate through the game show of my early life to be surrounded by some of the most intelligent people I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. From high school to my early twenties I was Blessed to have the company of people who were so open minded, honest, kind, real, and trustworthy so and so's,lol.
I am so grateful to have been influenced by these people, they showed me how to be a better person, an honest person, the kind of person that many people have never ever encountered in their life and probably never will.
I know that it is important to be humble and especially giving, I know that it is as important to be giving as much as it is important to take sometimes. I know that it is important to be there for people and take time for myself. I know that it is important to be complimentary and lift others up as much as it is important to want to be lifted up. I know how important it is to have a mutual respect for other people and their feelings and I can say that I love that about me, so thank you my Tucson friends! You are all incredible in your own way.
I love and adore music! All types of music, rnb, country, rap, musicals, classical... the more the better! Every song speaks to me like a scene in a movie. There are certain songs that I can listen to and the tears will flow like a beautiful sad river, and other songs make me so happy that I can't be still. I have no idea why music has such a powerful grip on me, maybe because I was an only child for ten years I had to have a vivid imagination to keep from getting bored, and MTV provided a museum of different pictures to engage me or maybe it's because my house was constantly filled with music that wrapped me in a melodic blanket and took me to different places within my mind.
I've thought for awhile now how awesome it would be to choose songs for movie soundtracks, be surrounded by music allllllll day trying to choose the perfect fit for a particular feeling being created. Music has the ability to transform a terrible moment into something incredible with just the sound of a note. I honestly don't think I could survive without music. Music makes my soul smile.
