Back To School


Song of the day: Summer Girl - The Stereos


Back to school, it is an exciting, scary, and dreaded time. For a kindergardener it is the most exciting time they can think of at that time. They are finally getting away from their parents and starting to meet other kids there age. For a child going into grad nine it is exciting like kindergarden would be because they are concidered closer to "Grown up" and they are around all kinds of older kids that will teach them the way life is in high school. But it is also a very scary and intimidating time. Children feel scared of what people are going to think of them and become very self consious. For a teen going into grade 12 life myself, you've lost all that fear and insecurity, but you've gained the fear of the rest of your life. I, myself, am so excited to start my last year of high school and get ready to go to university. Its begining a new chapter of my life and finally being released into the real world.

Life Lesson [#2]


Song of the day: Change For You - The Midway State

An Exert from the book Love Songs by Lawrence Sanders

“Because,” Graves explained, “love songs are “nice” songs. They’re dream songs. Pot-of-gold-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow songs. Love is what everyone wants and no one finds.”
That was when Bobbie Vander said somberly, “No Hap. People find it but love corrupts, and absolute love corrupts absolutely. Parents and children, husbands and wives, and especially lovers: love corrupts them all. Because you have an image of the loved one. And the loved one, sometimes unloving, still attempts to adapt your image. But then you find the image is a sad substitute of what you first saw in the loved one. We change to accommodate love. And by changing, we destroy it. That first insanity cools. By changing what we are to answer the lover’s demands. And by answering them, we kill the heat. Nothing more? That’s what the lover asks then. Nothing more? Is that all there is? If there’s everything, there’s nothing. There has to be something more "
"Don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love,
Take wings and soar to find it.
Fly high above, to pledge your love,
And give a kiss to bind it."
