Escaping

There is nothing really wrong in my life right now, I have lots of friends and people who care about me. But sometimes I feel like I just want to escape. I want to get away, be someone else or be somewhere else. Sometimes I also just need to get away to re-evaluate my life. I am going to Florida in a week, and I am going to use this time to of course have fun but I am also going to use this time to think and just escape reality. I am going away with two of my friends and I am sure I will have lots of fun and meet lots of interesting people, and this is what I need right now. I am ready to escape, even if just for a little while. Sometimes I just need to add some spice to my life and see some different faces. I love meeting new people, and right now I really could use some time away.
When I walk down the street and I see faces pass me by, I hear parts of conversations. I realize that this is a big world and I am only one small part of it. I realize that I have no clue what is going on in that persons mind, and I do not know the experiences they have had. Or why life's path has chosen for them to pass by me at that moment. But I am a firm believer in that everything happens for a reason. At that moment there was a distinct reason for why we would both be there at the same time. But I find it mind boggling to just sit back and think that I am just 1 in 6 billion people.
I also need to escape because I need to come to terms with what I want from life right now and what I am going to bring to the table. I need a break from everything. Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what your going to get :)

Strangers

"Though we share so many secrets, there are some we never tell" Billy Joel. I find this so true, no matter how much we share with another person there is always something we have kept secret. Everyone has a skeleton in their closet that they don't feel the need to share with others or they feel they can't share with others. I know that many people have found their "soul mates" and I am sure you tell them a lot, but do we really share every little thought in our minds. We always have certain feelings or thoughts that we know we shouldn't and we feel that maybe if we don't tell anyone it will make it not real. Personally, I can't always share my feelings with others, because I am scared they don't feel the same way and sometimes I am scared that they do. But I just want to say I really like the song The Stranger by Billy Joel, because sometimes we are strangers to those who think they know us well. And sometimes we are even strangers to ourselves.

Love at First Sight?

No! I do not believe in love at first sight. I think that love at first sight is merely a physical attraction to someone. I do not think that you could possibly love someone whom you have only seen their appearance. Love comes from knowing the inner soul of another person. I think that to truely be in love, you must also love that persons personality as well. Having a relationship solely based on physical appearance would ultimately end in chaos. There can be lust at first sight, because you are attracted to anothers appearance, but that is it. Love is a powerful word, and should not be tossed around lightly. When you are in love there is a deeper spiritual connection. I also believe that when you get to know someone it is true that their inner beauty becomes more important than their outter beauty. I think that someone with a good personality is much more attractive than a macho man that has nothing intelligent to say. So love at first sight, I don't think so!

GOOD SONG

Strange and Beautiful - Aqualung

I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,
I'll see.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes...

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep, I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep 'cos I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me,

Music

Music is an expression of one's self. Whether you play an instrument, sing a song or write the lyrics. Music is a way one can express themselves. Music is like emotion. Everyone feels differently when they hear a song, and every song can be interpreted in many different ways. I love classic rock. I think that the lyrics and passion artists had for music back then is astonishing. They sang songs to make a difference. And not only were they beautiful songs, but they were songs that everyone can relate to. Music is a way to escape. when you are sad or happy, excited or scared there is music out there to fill your soul. I think everyone needs music and to starve yourself of music, well thats blasphemy! I would like to say teh song Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix is an amazing song. I personally feel that the song is about the fact that he is so in love with a girl she makes him feel as if hes on drugs, but my friend thinks that he is singing about when he was on drugs and is imagining a girl. Either way a song that can be interpreted in different ways is an amazing song in my books.

Everything can change

In a blink of an eye everything can change. At one moment everything is perfect and life is great. But after one terrible accident tonight, I realized how precious life is. Two of my really close friends were in a car accident tonight. One just has really bad arm damage, and the skin on his arm is peeled off. My other friend is currently unconcious but stable. He has swelling and bruising of the brain and his face is very badly cut up. I don't know how he is going to be. I can only pray. It was the worst night of my life tonight. I watched the entire accident happen, since I was driving in my car behind them. His car slid off the road and crashed into a hydro pole. His car completely took out the pole. I had to stay and talk to police for an hour before I could go to the hospital to visit him. I really hope he is alright and I will go back tomorrow to see how he is. I have been in tears all night. Everything seems so surreal. I just can't believe that this happened. I just don't know what to do.
