Meaning...

It's no secret to the world around me that I am more than just a little impressed by the musical talent that is Gavin DeGraw . I've listened to him for so long now that I can hardly remember what it was like when I didn't know who he was. His music is as big a part of my day as my kids and husband are - I'm always listening to something he made. Except for when I'm sick of it, and that doesn't happen very often. In fact - it doesn't happen, and I actually think I'm a little weird being so narrowminded about music. It's not that I don't listen to anything else, trust me - I do, but if I was given a choice between anything and Gavin, it would always be Gavin. It's weird because just when I think I'm about to get tired of Gavin he does something special and in an instant I find myself back on the wagon, or the Chariot , if you will. This time, like so many times before, it was a performance that did it. Gavin appeared on Imus in the Morning ...

Words to live by.

You know how some people say that "you'll never become anything" or "you'll never be able to do that"....? Makes you kind of depressed, doesn't it? I've always wondered - why do we ever bother to listen to them? If you know, in your heart, that you are capable of great things - then why listen to people who's sole goal is to put you down? I am opinionated. And I like to get my way. Some people say that I'm stubborn and some say I come off as "cranky" and possibly even bitchy. And I think that's okay. I refuse to let them be the judge of me. Only I can be the judge of me. And only you can be the judge of you!!! Someone told me once that, at the time we met (way back in the day), she couldn't stand the sight of me. She pretty much hated my guts... Was that poor judgement from her? Well - considering that she is now my best friend, I guess it must have been. And so, do not judge people you do not know. You could so very well be...

Lucky, lucky, lucky!

I read in the news today that a 20 year old guy won the lottery last night. A staggering 31,7 million NOK . Thats about 5,3 mill USD (I think...lol) In other words - a heck of a lot of money!!! And to think, this guy is just 20? Wow - talk about having your life laid out for you. Then I started thinking - what would I have done if I had won that much money at that age? Truth be told - I'd be very likely to "waste" loads of it on stuff I didn't need. :) I would, of course, be a good girl and put most of it in the bank somehow - and I'd be sure to have enough left that I wouldn't have to "struggle" with anything. But come on!!!! With that much money, I'd be almost compelled to spend some of it on completely useless crap and I'd probably feel great about it too... So dude! Go spend some money. Travel the world, buy a new car. You can do anything now. Anything you want! Congrats! I'm jealous - but congratulations!! Les artikkelen her.
