In My Life

So I know I just wrote a post yesterday, but it got sloppy and off topic towards the end, my apologies. I have been sitting in my room, on my bed since 2pm listening to In My Life by The Beatles. I think it is safe to say, I'm completely and utterly in love with this song. The way it sounds, their voices, the mood, and mainly the lyrics. It's just so easy to relate to and I don't know, I just can't stop listening to it. If you have never heard this song, it's in my playlist on this website. I highly recommend listening to it at least once. And if you have heard it, would you agree with me about its beauty? It just makes me think of all memories and friends from the past and kind of appreciate all the things I've done even though I've only been on this earth for 19 short years. I've had the pleasure of meeting so many different people, some that I've grown to love... others that I could be content with never seeing again. I've been to like half or more than half of the Untied States, most of which when I was younger and this really helped to me get an understanding of people outside of just my home. I don't know, I am just thankful for every memory I have with every person/place/thing I have one with, good or bad. I guess this song just kind of helps me appreciate life for what it is. And of course... here are the lyrics:
There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

So there they are, please take a listen and let me know if it has any sort of the same effect on you... or what kind effect if any it has that may be different.
As always, thanks for reading my thoughts :]

Inspiration. Want it? Need it?

So lately (like the past two or three-ish days) I have been feeling inspired to do something but I just dont know what it is I want to do. I've been listening to songs that have such conviction behind them and you can tell these people were clearly moved or touched or INSPIRED to make the song and the point comes across so clear and that is the kind of music I respect and love.
[Stand Up -Flobots]
[Keep Quiet -BarlowGirl]
[Hands Held High -Linkin Park]
[Money Parade -CYNE]
[Hero -Superchick]
[Love is Blind -Eve]
[Youth of the Nation -P.O.D]
Just to name a few.
Those songs are beyond lyrically genius. They make you think, and feel, and think more and I would love to be able to create something so moving, idk if moving is even the right word.. something so in your face but in a good way.
That makes me think, well I'm good at taking picture... but how can I take a picture that literally says 1000 words? I dont think I could ever compete with photos like this:

photo cred [SOS Childrens Villages]

photo cred [Pierre Holtz, UNICEF]

photo cred [unknown]
Well, looking at those I can see what pulls at my heart and what I want to help with but I just dont know how or what I can do.
I plan on joining the Peace Corps after I graduate from college and I know that I want to, if not start a charity, be very active in donating to/helping in anyway possible with things like:
ONE.[www.ONE.org]
Can't Ignore the Poor. [www.myspace.com/cantignorethepoor]
Invisible Children. [www.invisiblechildren.com]
And hopefully more.
So, I'm not sure if this even says what I am feeling or anything I was planning on... to be honest I got distracted finding the pictures because there are soooooooo many... some I almost cried at... and yall know I dont cry. Anyway... I want to HELP. And I really hope that I find a way to do more then just blog about it.
Thanks for checking this out, and please check out the websites i listed and listen to the songs.

BARLOWGIRL
I have'nt been a fan for too long, but I'm so glad that i am one. They're songs have really inspiring and heartfelt meaning behind them and thats something that just gets me. Also, they are prolly the funniest people on the face of this earth. They have their podcasts on youtube and Kc and I have watched them and holy crap i didnt even know i could laugh that hard. "Zac Efron, and puppies! Lauren, you werent supposed to tell them!" Haha, yeah! :D Also, I havent seen them live yet... but I have seen videos of them preforming and it looks like they put on an amzing show and I am sooooooooooo excited for this concert... also theres a meet and greet! Deffinitly going to worth the 3 hour drive. :D!!!!!!

As far as I know, those are the only concerts I have before I head down to Charlotte.. but you never know... people are touring like crazy these days. I would love to go to a Jay-Z concert or Katy Perry, but as far as I know... im not going to one any time soon lol.
Alrighty last time i got to this point I posted my twitter link and all that crap and then went to post this and it didnt work... sooo, right after this I am copying this and making sure that yall get to read this!!!!

Thanks for reading my random rant about the four best things coming up! :D
