Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

Block of Wood

And if the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't want to dry
I can help you cry

Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry

Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
I can try

Alright for Now


Goodnight baby, sleep tight my love.
May God watch over you from above.
Tomorrow I'm workin' what would I do
I'd be lost and lonely if not for you.

So close your eyes
We're alright for now.

I've spent my life travelin'
I've spent my life free
I could not repay all you've done for me.


So sleep tight baby
Unfurrow your brow
And know I love you
We're alright for now.
- Tom Petty

I'd be hard pressed to find a day where I have felt so many different emotions in such a short time.
But this one is the strongest by far.

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down.
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down.


No I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around.
And I'll keep this world from dragging me down.
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down.


Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out.
Hey yeah, I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down.


Well I know what's right
I got just one life.
In a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down.


Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out.
Hey yeah, I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down.
- Tom Petty

I don't know where life will take me. No one ever can. It's a road we walk without knowing where the end is.

But I do know one thing-- I'm willing to fight for what I believe in.

So Life, bring it on. I'm ready for you. I have my ideas and my values and that is enough for now. I know what I want and am willing to work for it.

Just try and stop me.

I have a confession...

I miss the summer.

I miss the sun
my tan

I miss barbeque's
and staying up late

I miss road trips
beaches
sand between my toes

carefree attitudes
the smell of thunderstorms

So on that note... Hurry up Mr. Sunshine! I miss you!
