Oh Nashville

This is the most "Nashville" statement I've EVER READ! hahaha.. It's too good not to post.. I want to remember this forever.

"5 years from now he will be attending belmont uni. and booking "acoustic" "gigs" at the frothy monkey to showcase his covers of top 40/indie hits. He will spend his 'down time' at Fido's-sipping on chai-doodling on napkins/writing a 'song/making meaningful missed connections with 'damaged' coffee shop girls. If he tries hard enough he might open for a 'meaningful' nashy staple band that at one point was "signed" to a label. this will be the best night of his life. he will blog about it. he will speak of his art to the tables he waits on down the road........"

"You musn't give your heart to a wild thing."

I love Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's such a beautiful movie.. I miss Old Hollywood. I truly believe if that type of entertainment existed in present day we would all be better off. However, more people would smoke, and that would not be so great. I don't understand the appeal. I guess it was more of a status/rebellion thing back then... but these days.... WHY would anything think that's attractive. Not only does it look bad, but the smell is gag-worthy, it's bad for your teeth and it's basically killing you softly. It's a habit that instantly makes a good looking person unattractive. Not meaning to attack those that do, it's just something that doesn't make sense to me. Anywho.

This is a snow day at it's finest. I can't remember the last time I've seen this much snow. My grandmother decided it was a good day for me to try snow cream! I had never heard of it, but it's delicious! I decided to stay at her house considering she lives less than a mile down the road from me, I haven't been to the grocery store in a month, and we don't have cable. Plus, KY plays Vandy tomorrow, of course I couldn't risk missing that. It looks like my weekend is going to be filled with movies, ballgames, coffee and lots of relaxation. Good thing I got my income statement done yesterday! I really needed this weekend to work on my collection... I guess the Lord had other plans, and that's 110% okay with me. I'm going to end up pushing myself to the end and cramming everything in at once. Not the best idea, but it'll be alright.. if I don't change my concept again that is.


Good things have been happening lately. It's amazing how many times I start thinking negatively, step back and say a really long prayer and let my heart out to the only person that can help me though... and things begin to fall in to place. Nothing is set in stone and there's a lot to be done, but I'm okay with that. I'm not asking for things to come together right now, but progress is always encouraging. I know things will work out, I just have to be patient and persistent. Please keep me in your prayers bloggers, I'm about to embark on the biggest adventure of my life, Lord willing.

Defining my life on a snow day...

♥ ♥ ♥

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

Happy Sunday Bloggers! I'd like to share the most inspiring part of my day.... reading Matthew Manes blog about his mission trip to Africa. WWW.MATTMANES.COM. The perspective and passion that comes from this post is truly amazing. I felt like I was living the experience through his words. I admire people that have the strength and courage to pursue missions overseas... it's a gift and I highly recommend everyone to read what he has to say. To encourage you to read it more, here is one of my favorite excerpts::

"At the end of the trip all I could do was Praise God. Praise Him for his provision of water for drinking and for showering. Praise Him for what he was doing in people’s lives. Praise Him for safety as we were working. Praise Him for keeping us out of harms way with spiders and snakes and scorpions. Praise Him for using me and humbling me in some of the most incredible ways. Praise Him for all the children we were able to be around and all the children at the orphanges who have people there that love them. Praise Him for an amazing team of people who each had their own unique gifts they were able to use and to make the trip perfect. Praise Him for bringing me back home to my friends and work. Praise Him for the memories and for an exciting couple of months.

Praise Him for being Him".

Powerful, right? Sometimes I get so caught up in my life and petty matters that I forget the big picture. I forget that there are 6,000,000,000+ people in this world, a majority that aren't near as fortunate as I am. It makes my head spin and I'm suddenly knocked back down to a state of humbleness. Sometimes I can't help but wonder how I am so blessed? Why out of those 6 billion people did God put me here, in this place, with these people that are so wonderful? Why do I have great parents? How is it that while so many people are homeless, not only do I have a home, I have a nice home, I have 2 nice homes that I can go home to anytime I want... my house and my parents. No make that 3, or more... my grandmothers house, and many of my friends homes. I have water, not only do I have water, I have bottled water... clean water. How do we forget these things? I really don't think I've thought about those details of my life in a very long time. I'm pretty sure that's a life lesson to me... God is telling me to stop worrying about things that he is taking care of... but to worry about those that are struggling and use the things that he has provided me with to help others. New years resolutions are out the door, doing my part to resolve crisis has been sitting at my front door for a while, and it's about time I let it in.

New Answers for Old Questions

Because life has been so insane lately, I didn't even have a chance to PROPERLY wish Caitlin HAPPY FREAKING 21ST BIRTHDAAYY on Monday! SO here is my "i'm sorry for being a terrible friend" birthday post! I'm excited to celebrate this week!

In other news. I am absolutely exhausted. I've worked non-stop for the past 2.5 weeks. I'm not complaining by any means, I'm lucky to have a job in an economy that's so bad, many people don't. 2010 has definitely started with a bang! J will be gone the entire month of Feb. to Australia and Japan. I'm slightly jealous, I cannot lie. I'm past the point of Seniorites, I'm ready to graduate. I'm ready to find new places and new adventures. It's not that I'm unhappy with my life right now, I'm just to the point where I need a drastic change. I'm not mad at anyone, nor do I want to "get away" from anyone, I feel like by being else where I'll be closer to the people I love here in Franklin.
I've been thinking about places to move to lately and researching condos in the process. I can't wait to have my own place. I will miss having roommates though, I'll miss the company and never being alone. I might have to get a dog... I've decided that 1 room will be designated for books only.. I want a wall full of books so I can go in, choose one off the shelf and read until I'm so tired I fall asleep. Everything will be crisp, clean and classy. I want Andy Warhol's art and pictures of people & places I love to grace the walls, twinkle lights in my room and candles all over the place. It will be my haven of perfectly coordinated mismatching interior genres. Oxymoron? I said it would represent me, didn't I? Here are some images that portray a little bit of what's in my head.

My first blog of 2010... Be inspired. ♥♥♥


^ This has been my life for the past week FYI... nothing like a good book. I recommend James Patterson. Amazing.
