Its Gonna be a Lovely Day

Hello there,
Have you ever woken up knowing that it was going to be a good day? Well I did this morning. I woke up to the sound of my favorite Donavon Frankenreiter song called Lovely Day. I'm thinking it was a sign of the day to come. Getting out of bed the first thing I was was the sun shining through my window onto my guitar. For some reason this instantly made me happy. I picked it up and strummed it for a few minutes to motivate me for the day to come. Walking downstairs I was greeted by my dog Ginger. Now Ginger is very bipolar with her morning greetings. One day she will speak to you and the next she wont acknowledge your existence. This morning she greeted me at the foot of the stairs jumping up and down like excited dogs do. This was another indicator that my day was going to be great.

I have a daily routine to getting my day started. First I always take a long shower so that I can be fresh for the day. I follow up the shower with a LARGE bowl of cereal, or two. I then play with my dog for a few minutes to get her motivated for the day ahead of her because dogs need motivation too. Then I get dressed in a way which reflects my mood. Being in such a great mood today, I decided to wear my fresh white nikes (actually their polo but going with nikes sounded better), some fresh skinny jeans, and a brightly colored polo. Like I said before, my mood reflects my clothing choice. On days when I'm not feelin it or when I'm tired I'll bum in in some sweats and a t shirt. But either way my clothing reflects my mood.

Well another reason I'm in such a great mood today is because I leave to go to Europe tomorrow with one of my best good friends. So needless to say I'm looking forward to being shipped out of the country.

But as I left the house today everything seemed to be the way it was meant to be. A lady was out walking her dog and she threw her hand up at me as I walked to my car, which for some reason made me happy. As soon as I turned on the car some Panic at the Disco came on. That's when I knew there was no way my day could turn bad. Cruising around the metropolis that is Goldsboro, I thought to myself..."I'm feelin' it."

Now when I'm feelin' something I am greatly enjoying it. And I was feelin' today.

There was a chain of events that lead to my lovely day. I played guitar with a buddy, Dad made steaks, I threw the ball in the yard for my dog, I played some guitar on the deck, and I drove around with my windows down singing.

No one can tell you how to be happy, but you can find happiness in the simplest of things.

Believe that you are going to have a good day, chances are you will.
Surround yourself with happy people.
Read a good book.
Go for a walk.
Learn to play an instrament.
Listen to some Nora Jones.
Surround yourself with friends and family.
Be happy with what you have.
Reach out to someone you normally wouldn't.
Listen to some Daft Punk.
Be yourself.
Sit in the sun, it's good for the soul.
Listen to some Amos Lee, Donavon Frankenreiter, or some Paolo Nutini.
Hug a stranger.
Pray.
Sit back and relax.
Fist Pump Like a Champ!

Happiness is all around you, embrace it. Life is wonderful, so enjoy it.


I'm feelin' it.

Crude Talk

It's weird I always have thoughts, proving the freethinking brain can finally travel. Brainstorms subjects that could write this blog for 20 more posts.

Then, immediately upon coming into 4th period and putting up my assigned books (Oh yeah, I'm a library assistant) I have to quickly think of ideas before the final bell rings.


So as I pan the area with my eyes and ears I have made obvious observations and noticed that I haven't taken the time to properly evaluate them.

"Fag" (n.)

to tire or weary by labor; exhaust

-Slang

derogatory term for a homosexual

I've just found my first target. The weird kids.
Walk into any setting where students, all shapes and sizes gather.

Now, look for a group that consists of,

-the boy who's never been kissed who still thinks the word "boobies" is still funny and feels like he's getting away with something every time he says it. Who's hands are awkwardly curled towards himself at all times, almost a defense mechanism.

-the girl who has a Slipknot shirt with parachute pants that look like if she jumped off the roof she would float safely to the Earth, but sadly it has so many chains it would drag her down faster. Actually as of right now has a dog collar on. Who's boyfriend is just the same, whom she cuddles with in between classes to the point where it's almost gross.

-the black kid who where's the hoodies that have large dragons/skulls/lightning bolts. Dirtied up Nike's that would resemble what they would have looked like after Jesus walked through the Lonesome Valley.

Now. While you're looking at this, be jealous. Have you ever seen these kids absolutely annihilate some one's character by talking about things that are most likely not even true? Ever seen them turn their back to someone in the form of a grudge on the silliest of reasons? In any other area you could vomit due to high levels of Toxic Drama Fumes (TDF's, Start using it).

And you'd need to go home and wash it off...cause it's sticky.

Based on you always.

Quick question,
Have any of you ever felt as if you didn't know if you were REALLY hungry or REALLY thirsty? You weren't sure which one it was, so you make yourself a bowl of cereal because it can cure both issues. You soon find out that you were in fact only REALLY thirsty. So you just suck the milk off the spoon and then eat the cereal. Has that ever happened to you?

Me too. Just checking.

fubar (adj.)
-Slang.
not working; completely messed up; bungled; confused.
drunk beyond recognition.


Speaking of cereal, I have a girlfriend now.


If you haven't seen our previous blogs, they have been proven fact on how women react to certain emotional triggers.


-First, funny story. I am attached in the bond of dating with a female named, Hannah. We've been best friends for nearly 6 months, and in a non romantic way we made a decision, didn't ask, it was a decision to date.
It's been great to be quite honest, i enjoy her company anyway but now it seems better. I honestly encourage dating close friends, there's no awkwardness because you guys already know each other so there's no nerves stopping you from doing anything.
Only downfall, this also means they know exactly where your buttons are and can easily push em. But, we have already had our first drama encounter.

*Cue dramatic music while lightning bolts crash*

As you know, this blog is share between Allen and myself. He and I differ on women in many ways. One of the most serious, is distance. And recently he has been diggin on some chicks about a county and a half away.
He liked this girl for about 3 weeks and stopped talking to her for about 4 months. He messaged me on facebook a few days ago, saying....

"Dude, Hannah is calling me baby and playing all that old stuff again in our texts..."

So immediately I asked my girlfriend on what she'd been saying to Allen recently. She denied everything.
Allen came over last night and then corrected my received message...

"Dude, Hannah (Not my girlfriends last name) is calling me baby and playing all that old stuff again in our texts..."

Him and I getting with chicks with the same last name is only another sign of our common interest as best friends.

-Second, I have an ex-girlfriend. Name anything in this world and I will dislike her more than your purposed item. Like most women, she wasn't always this way. She used to be soft spoken, tender hearted and a generally likable person.
But with just the right wrong friends, she has become what she is.

Maybe she is still honest, and hasn't done any of the things I've heard, but because she associates herself with people who would do things of the nature of things that have been said, i can believe it.it's not just me that thinks this way.

I'm in my high school library, talking to a kid who has nothing in common with me by looks other than the same kind of genitals. Which, proven by fact, connects us because we think the exact same.

He has had a constant women in his life on and off for nearly 2 years. Recently, there has been rumor she has been impregnated by his love bud of life. He himself is not even sure if there is a "Mine Me" growing inside her but from the look on his face.....we're gonna hope not.

Inside, naturally, he confesses to have leftover feelings for the women, but due to actions made. Words said. He can only think down of her.

Thus proving that if you act a certain way, we cannot accept your flaws....we will use them against you as much as we can until you are apologetic for your bender in your disposition.

This is not because we are God's hateful species. The things you do will have the longest effects and put a 7th seal on our grudges.

Don't look surprised when you're the one being treated inferiorly.

Welcome to our world.

with sarcastic sunshine and flowers,
James
