Fireworks

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Hello

Today I thought I'd keep it simple.  Just stop by, say 'hello' and cross my fingers that someone just might stop by and comment.  So hello world.  Are you going to say 'hello' back or be a jerkface?

My Grandfather

My Grandpa Glenn Eugene Waite died one year ago today. The obituary is online at this site. I miss him very much.

First Post of the New Year

Happy 2012 everyone.  We made it through another year, lets just hope we make it out of this year alive.  I have only a few resolutions this year:

1. get rid of this sickness and the allergic reaction I got from my medication
2. Continue to lose weight (23lbs have been lost already, partly because of my sickness sadly)
3. Do well with my online classes so I can get my dream job someday (broadcasting journalist)
4. Hopefully get engaged to my amazing boyfriend (or at least continue to date him <3)
5. And lastly, be happy and love life because it is short

Happy New Years everyone.

Reject Rejection

The next time you get a rejection letter from a hoped-for employer or publisher, just send them the following:

Dear [name of the person who signed the rejection letter],
Thank you for your letter of [date of the rejection letter]. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me employment with your firm.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite [name of the co or agency that sent you this letter]'s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting [applicants], I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time.
Therefore, I will initiate employment with your firm immediately following [graduation/job change, etc. -- get creative here]. I look forward to working with you.
Best of luck in rejecting future candidates.
Sincerely,
[your name]

A book and it's cover

She’s emo? You’d cut too, if you’ve been through what she has. She’s anorexic? You’d be too, if everyone called you fat everyday. She’s a whore? She made one mistake that cost her reputation. She’s a showoff? Her parents don't care, & she’s never heard of praise. She’s loud? She’s invisible at home, & she wants to be heard. She’s quiet? She’s afraid to speak, because she’s scared to get made fun of & say the wrong things. She’s fat? She binges, because she's tired of being there for everyone & never getting it back in return. She’s a geek? She wants to get into college, so she can support her future family. She doesn’t wear the shortest shorts? She's too worried people will judge her. She’s ugly? Tell me, what is the definition of beauty? Who are you to judge them? You know their name, not their story.
