I'm Yours

Weddings. There are an estimated 6,000 weddings a day in the United State. I've been looking forward to my wedding since I was little. I don't know what colors my flowers will be, or what I'm going to wear, I'm not a girl; but just the idea of getting to spend the rest of my life with some one I truly love is a fantastic concept.

However, the events of the actual day have been on my mind recently, due to my disinclined attendance of an unrenowned relatives ceremony. I'm sad to say that despite the favorable choice of music (thank you Jason Mraz!) I couldn't get past the bridesmaids decked in black dresses, and the idiotic chuckling of the groom. As goofy as that is to me, it looked like something you might find in People Magazine compared to another dumpy relatives "Special Day." THIS wedding was held just outside of their reception hall which just so happened to be a firework stand! The groom was dressed in his Naval uniform which isn't exactly horrible as much as it is lazy, and the groomsmen were dressed in Texas Flag button down shirts. Can you scream "Red Neck" any louder than that?!?

So no, I do not have my wedding planned, nor do I see mine being anywhere in the near future. If I am fortunate enough to get married though, I hope that it is as cool and fun as this one is....

Badges and Badges

My lips do a double-take

As my tongue produces the words.

For Heavens sake!

What dissonant notes come from my cords?

As if a hand were moving my mouth

His voice streams through my throught;

Not only teaching another wild youth,

But reminding me of what to do when times get tough.

And just as he was,

I speak to absent ears;

Ignorant to all, and just because

They already know it all in their single digit years.

My cheeks bend into a smile

As the echos from the past come to a close.

The voice still resonating all the while

Like a childish "I told you so!"

I Think Im Going to (Austin)

For the first time in my life, I am going to be responsible for everything I do.

No more mommy to get you out of your fix,

No more saying "I didn't mean too." "It was an accident."

No more curfew,

No more home cooked meals,

No more brother bothering you,

No more family dinners.

Etc...

Its ALL on me now.

Will I mess up?

YES

Will I miss home?

YES

Will things be hard?

YES

Will I still have fun?

YES

Is everything gonna be OK?

...

Stand By Me

As I was soaring through the sky, my nose inches from the scribbles of my green notebook, I looked up for a moment to rest my neck and saw this video being played on the "Continental Vision." Intrigued, I put my headphones into the jack on my arm rest to see what it was. Watch...

This video is BEAUTIFUL! That is a word I tend to use solely for things that I find truly beautiful. Yes, this was already a good song; proclaiming that nothing can get in the way of his love for the person as long as they just stick with him through thick and thin. (cliche, I know) But with this video, they have taken the song to another level. By recording different people from all over the world, it makes the message even grander. If we could all just unite as one human race, not whites/blacks/hispanics/gays/rich/poor etc., then we could withstand "The mountains...(crumbling into) the sea." United we are powerful. United we are BEAUTIFUL.

Only Heart (The Lovers Prayer)

I've been in love before;

The dates, the smiles, the kisses.

But I never knew up till now

That something important was missing.

The way you speak and hold my hands

Lets me know that you are here,

And wont let go of the gift wrapped heart

I've given to you, dear.

The feel of your toes tracing my leg

Sends chills down through my spine.

And every glance you send to me

Looks so far past my eyes.

My heart forgets its chief position

And feels your heart instead.

And in the seconds between its beats,

A love so strong is fed.

Oh, God above, if this be real,

Don't let me waste my breath.

Grant that I may hold her close

And be with her till death..
