UP

So i saw UP tonight with dave and julia. it was pretty darn epic. i absolutely loved it and read into every detail that (from what i believe) pixar and disney were attempting to portray. no other movie has really done that for me. there’s those ones like the mighty ducks that tell me to no matter what, don’t give up, but i had to watch it a few times. okay, even though i was only nine when i probably first saw it, even when i was  18 and watching it again, i had to give it a second look before i understood it. UP showed me that life is an adventure, the people in your life are there for a reason, don’t stop trying to pursue the one thing you want, but at the same time love and care for others wants/needs as well, and last but not least, live life to the fullest. it’s so cliche to say that, but it’s so true. so here’s some music that i feel is UP-worthy. i give you the UP Mixtape.

this mixtape signifies my life right now. i’m searching for something, someone, God… i don’t know what. it could be God, it could be someone, or it could be just some thing. either way this music has been  helping me get through it. i caught a bad case of nostalgia so all i’ve really been listening to is old pop punk from back in the day and some new stuff, but still pop punk from well-established bands… meaning they’re old, but still good and making music. i’ll post the link in a day or two.

I believe this blog is going to have a bit more music in it and how it is incorporated into my life.

It will be a series of mixtapes. Get ready because it is going to be legend… wait for it… dary!

Stitches Get Sewn As The Story Changes…

I’ve learned a lot.

I’ve witnessed someone else taking over my body and soul.

I’ve lost who I am.

I’ve given into what makes me happy, not what makes me alive.

I’m giving it away, or trying to. But I still question myself, am I really trying?

I miss that year where you told me how you felt and I told you the same. We were college freshman and we were alive. I would put it this way:

“We were like dinosaurs” - Brian Bonz

I may have a second chance, I may not. My patience and self-control are going to be tested to no ends. I’ve let you go before because I thought it was the right thing to do. Maybe, I was wrong. Maybe letting go of someone to make them happier isn’t the right thing. I’m sorry I did. I pray, I hope, that this time around we can be like dinosaurs. 

pray for me.
