Just a few songs that jumped out at me today. In other words, they found me in completely random ways...I didn't search them out for any reason. Not sure why I need to stress that, but I do. It's a short list, if you can even call it a list. This explanation is longer...
1) Daily Planet "3000 miles away"
2) Superchick "Wishes"
3) Jack's Mannequin "The Mixed Tape"
Kinda spoke to some stuff that I'm feelin, but don't feel like writing about right now. The songs say enough I guess.

Raindrops on roses
The following is a list of some of my favorite things. What are some of yours? (BTW to those who notice the similar notes, yes I was inspired by someone else's)
a good story (more reading than viewing b/c you get to make the pictures yourself, but some are able to do a good job with it on film)
chances to share/debate my faith
rain
climbing and exploring things
fun times with friends and family
letters, cards, pictures, or other artifacts that remind me of good times with friends and/or family
beaches, the ocean, rivers, and lakes
music
admiring God's creation
a cool breeze to cool me off
looking up at clouds (in the day) and stars (at night) and making my own pictures
having something in common with a friend or just a total stranger
tasteful humor
just to name a "few" =)

The Day the Music Died
Hokay, so here's the earth...er I mean hokay, so don't be fooled by the title of this one, no famous musicians died or anything like that. It was the best "day" title I could think of for tonight. Tonight was the last night of the Jack Ward Festival (aka 1st choir concert of the spring). It went great and its over!! Time to celebrate...by..uh...um...eating at Carl's Jr. and getting the cheesecake for dessert? Sure why not!
Another reason to celebrate: I'm finally starting to feel better. I'm not completely recovered but feelin a lot better and it still didn't affect my singing. Something Dr. Alt said during our warm-ups kinda made sense of why being sick didn't affect me too much. She said something to the effect that if you're sick the night of a concert you shouldn't let it change your singing, just keep doing it the same way you've been doing it. Basically, it's partly in your head. If you concentrate on it too much it's gonna take your focus off the music and of course if you're not focused you probably won't do as well. It's all about where your focus is. Good life lesson, really.
