it's may! that means several things.

1. Happiest of birthdays to my bestie, C! I know you pop in every once in a while so I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday here too to cover all my social media bases. I think I've been writing you a message in here ever since I had this journal so I'm keeping up with tradition, right? ♥

Another happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] ayesakara whose love of all things Gale is endless and that is never a bad thing. I'm so glad that I'm getting to know you a little better, friend! I owe you an overdue e-mail, definitely. Will send that off to you soon. ♥

2. It's a brand new month and I've decided I need a little more focus and need to get some things done this month. So, I'm giving myself the challenge of doing NaBloPoMo. It's easier to do these since I have a Blackberry now and I don't have an excuse to miss a day. The theme of this month is Looking Up as in "things are looking up" and I think that that's an important message to convey. So, I'll be writing something once a day. I'm going to try to make some public entries but there are some that I have to lock up and those are going into the 'friends only' zone.

3. I'm also gonna do the 30 day meme even though May is 31 days. No biggie.

I have my fair share of favorite songs but one song in particular always comes to mind when I hear this question: My Stupid Mouth by John Mayer. The reason it's my favorite is because the melody, the beat is simple but catchy. The lyrics feel so honest. I think it's rare to find truth in songs and this one is so open for anyone to hear. It caught me immediately and no one can convince me otherwise.



I've also been unable to imagine life in my mid-20's without this song:

I love love love John's music. He's a douche bag of epic proportions but he's incredibly talented and umm, has beautiful tattoos.

Yea, Why Georgia is a huge part of my life too. I was in the middle of my quarter life crisis about the time it came out and I totally obsessed over that song.

Totally, totally agree. Total douche but it's hard not to forgive him when he has the musical chops to match. Have you ever seen him in concert? I can't believe I never have. One day I'll just cave and get a ticket when he comes.

I'm in the middle of my quarter life crisis so that song does the trick for all of us! I think that No Room For Squares is an album you have to listen to in your 20's. It's essential listening for the, "Where are we going and what do we do" set. :))

What does NaBloPoMo stand for? Either way, now I wish I'd done this meme thing. Maybe next month.
