Just Too Close

Listening to the radio the other day when Too Close came on.. Love this song. But due to some recent occurrences with certain people in my life, I took this song a bit differently than I have in the past..

 You know I'm not one to break promises, 

I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe.

At the end of it all, you're still my best friend,

But there's something inside that I need to release.

Which way is right, which way is wrong, 

How do I say that I need to move on?

You know we're headed separate ways.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you.,

There's nothing I can really say.

I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,

Got to be true to myself.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,

So I'll be on my way.

You've given me more than I can return,

Yet there's oh so much that you deserve.

There's nothing to say, nothing to do.

I've got nothing to give,

I must live without you.

You know we're headed separate ways.

This is exactly how I've felt for the past couple months. Sometimes we get so close to people that we can't breath. We get too close and the boundaries start to fade and manners vanish. We get too close and we forget that our friends STILL have the choice to walk away.. We get too close and we forget that we still have to treat them with respect.

I feel like I want to become strangers again.. so I can re-get to know you. This way I wont let myself get "too close" to you..

"There's nothing I can really say. So I'll be on my way.."

Just some random thoughts..

My Anthem

I don't usually think much of myself. I don't. I know my crazy. I know I'm imperfect. But I heard this song.. And I'm feeling rather proud of myself at this very moment. Proud of all that I go through each day.

My new anthem.

Give em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life til we're dead.
Give me scars, give me pain
Then they'll say to me, say to me, say to me
There goes a fighter, there goes a fighter
Here comes a fighter
That's what they'll say to me, say to me
Say to me, this one's a fighter.

"Dream a little bigger.. "

Concert

A couple nights ago I was over at Dave and Carols and Carol mentioned that Jason Aldean is going to be coming to Duluth. This lead me to remember something I read in my Book of Awesome. Here it is!

The moment at a concert after the lights go out and before the band comes onstage

You go early, you grab a drink, you buy a T-shirt, you find you seat or you edge up to the stage, you listen to the opening act, you people watch, you talk with your friends, you guess what songs they might play, and then the moment finally arrives: The background music fades down, all the lights suddenly go out, and there is total blackness.

You feel a massive wave of anticipation sweep across the crowd, people stand up, raise their arms and scream, and everyone clamors for that first view of the band walking onstage.

AWESOME!

We all know what that feels like and you have to admit. Its amazing. Its awesome. I really hope we can get tickets to Jason Aldean. Its My Kinda Party!

Book of Awesome

Hello my dear people. How are you doing? Really though. How are things going in your life? Are you doing the things you want to do? Being the person you want to be? I hope so. :)

So I have this book called "The Book of Awesome". Its an.. you guessed it.. Awesome book!! Its just a list of really awesome things in life that we sometime dont appreciate. So for the next couple of weeks, since I have nothing to write about lately.. I'm gonna share some excerpts from this book! Hope you enjoy!! :)

Sleeping In New Bed Sheets

You know the feeling. You just spent five minutes chasing all the corners of the elastic form-fitting bottom sheet around your bed and then laid and tucked the top sheet tightly into the mattress. You found some pillow covers in the linen closet, squeezed and shook your pillows in there, put your blanket over all of it, took a deep breath, and then dove right into the fresh, cold, mothball-smelling sheets.

New sheets are great because they don't smell like The Sleeping You, with your armpit hair all squishing around in there all night, your drool leaking all over the pillows, and your crusty old feet flaking off into little piles of dead skin shavings at the end of the bed. And let's not forget the hot farts you pop out when your sleeping too. Don't deny it! We're all disgusting when we're asleep, and new bed sheets are great for letting us temporarily escape our own filth.

Really, only one thing can add to that new bed sheet feeling and that's when its your first seasonal sleep in thin cotton summer sheets or thick winter sheets. As you close your eyes softly, crickets chirping outside your window, moonlight and tree branches shadow dancing on the walls, you know right then and there: It's going to be a good night.

Awesome.

So that was it peeps! A page out of the book of Awesome. You got to admit.. Fresh bed sheets? Pretty awesome.


I wish you well. Be happy. Be kind. And DFTBA! :)
