This week for the writers workshop #3 which is: Pick up your iPod or phone or whatever stores your music and press shuffle…what comes up first? Tell us about that song choice. I have almost 2000 songs on my iPod so I went to a playlist that I listen to the most because it is a true mix of music and scrolled down and just picked on random song and the song that came up was: Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous by Good Charlotte.
This song is super old because I believe I first heard it when I was in high school. There isn’t much to really say about this song other than I still like it and love to listen to it when it gets played on my iPod. The music video makes me laugh and let’s be honest there really isn’t much to the song so I am not sure why it has stuck with me so long but it has and I can’t get enough of songs like this.
What random song do you love?
***As a side note I googled when the song was released and it was in the fall of 2002 so that would have been my senior year of high school.
It is that time of the month again and here are some of the things I have loved during the month of May.
Here are a list of books that I have totally loved during the month of May: Catching A Falling Star, Once Upon A Prince, A Noble Groom, & The Cat That God Sent. The review on Catch A Falling Star will go live on Tuesday the 4th of June. If you ever are in need a good book to read let me know because I read pretty much everything.
I loved changing up my cell phone case’s often. I am not sure how many I have but I have tons and I keep buying new ones because they are a good deal. I am going to do a post in the coming weeks on all of my cases.
I had this in my favorites a few months ago but it is still something I use almost all day long and that is my iPod. I love it even more since my laptop has died and I don’t have access to my music that was on there.
I just discovered this song at the end of the month but since I bought the song I have basically had it on repeat and it is pretty much all I listen to. I have been loving Thrift Shop by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Here is the link to the music video. I can’t help but smile when I watch it.
I have been loving the new Brown Rice Baked with Sweet Potato Triscuits in the Roasted Sweet Onion flavor. One I start eating a box I tend to eat the whole thing in just one sitting. If you have never heard of these click here to see and read about them.
Those are some of the things I loved during the month of May.
I haven’t posted a song on Mondays for a long time but I have wanted to post a song by Green Day and I figured that I would post it this week. I am sure some of you know that I love music. I literally always have music playing and I can’t ever get enough of it. I listen to pretty much anything and the past few weeks I have been loving “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” by Green Day. This is my favorite part of the song:
I love this song because the lyrics that I have listed up above is so how I feel a lot of the time. I know that I am on the one responsible for the reasons I am alone. Most days I am okay with this but there are days where it does get lonely and today is one of those days.
A few months back I wrote a post about the new Chris Mann album and I have since fallen in love with the the song called Roads. Below I have posted the lyrics & the video so that you can see what I am talking about before I tell you why I love the song.
There are roads in this life that we all travel There are scars and there are battles where we roam When we are lost or wherever we may go They will always lead you home
There are roads that have lead me to another To a friend or to a lover I have known For every turn is a year that I have grown As I walk along these roads
Some are long and some are weathered Some will lead you through a storm When you’ve gone astray you will find your way As you walk along these roads
There were times when I stumbled and I wondered But every choice and every step I don’t regret Cause I have lived and I have loved like no other I won’t fear what lies ahead
Some are long and some are weathered Some will lead you through a storm When you’ve gone astray you will find your way As you walk along these roads
There are roads in this life that I have traveled There are scars and there are battles, these I know Cause I’d be lost but no matter where I go They will one day lead me home They will one day lead me home
I am sure most of you know by now that I love music. I always seem to find songs that fit perfectly into my life at the certain moment in time. I received this CD in order for me to review it and I listened to it a few times and thought it was good but it ended up in my car and I didn’t listen it again up until last week. When I randomly put in the CD while I was on my way home from work the title track just hit me differently than it did when I first heard it. I really can’t even pick just one part of the song because I love everything the song says.
I have had a lot of personal things going on that I haven’t blogged about and I don’t think I will ever blog about and this song describes how I have been feeling lately about my life and where I see myself going. I look at my life and I realize more than anything that this song is so true.
Since my daughters birthday this past July I have decided that I am going to go down a road that I have known I need to go down for awhile but I have been too scared to make the first step. Now that I have been on this road for a few months I know without a doubt that this where I need to be and I finally happy with where I am at. For the first time in years I can honestly say I am the happiest I have been. That being said there are things and people that I miss dearly but I know I am where I should be right now.
This is the verse that I keep reading over and over in my head.
There were times when I stumbled and I wondered
But every choice and every step I don’t regret
Cause I have lived and I have loved like no other
I won’t fear what lies ahead
I have learned that I will never regret and of the choices and decisions I have made because without all of them I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I also am not going to live my life fearing the future because everything that happens is meant to be and will make me an even stronger person.
For last week’s Writers Workshop I chose to post songs that told part of the story of my life. One of those songs was this song by Sugarland. I reason I like this song is because of these lyrics:
I’m so sick and tired of being told what’s good for me
People got lots of ideas of who I’m supposed to be
Now there are other parts of this song that I love as well but these are the first two lines in the song that jump out at me. I love the lines because I do get tired of people who I know mean well telling me what they think I should do. Those of you who know me know that the best way to make sure I don’t do something is to tell me that I should do it. I have always done the opposite of what people tell me I should do.
I am the type of person who has to learn from my own mistakes so when people try and give me advice I don’t ever take it. I know my life would/could be simpler if I would just listen when people give me advice. I know part of this is because I am so stubborn that I have to do things my way. Even if I know that my way isn’t the best way to go about doing something.
I love the second line because I am so tired of people telling me who they think I should be or what they think I should do with the rest of my life. Like I said before I know most of the people who say things like that mean well but I get tired of hearing it.
I haven’t participated in the Writers Workshop for a few weeks but I really liked on of her prompts this week. I am going to write about: 5.) List the songs that tell your life story (so far). I am sure most of you know that I love everything that has to do with music. I am just going to list the songs and if you click on the name it will take you to the music video.
Welcome to My Life-I first heard this song while I was pregnant and it still reminds me of my life. I love everything about this song. I still have days where it is exactly how I feel.
Over You-This song is for someone in my past. I think there is only one person who knows who this song is for. I am not going to get into the story because it isn’t something I can really talk about yet.
In A Hurry-This song is how I am. I am trying to slow down and just enjoy life but that is always easier said than done in today’s society.
I Wonder-This song is how I feel about my birth mom and it says everything I wish I could tell her but I won’t ever say to her.
Everything to Me-This song is written and sung by Mark Schultz. He was adopted and he wrote this about his feeling on adoption. This song is written from the point of view of the child who was placed. There is a song by Cheire Call who has a song that is written from the birth parents view but I couldn’t find a video on it.
Fly Away-I have a post coming up on Monday about this song so please make sure you come back and see why this song applies to me.
These are the first 7 songs that came to mind when I saw this prompt.
