HELLO!!

Well i'm back just for the moment.. can't believe it's been pretty much a year since i've gotten on this thing.. wow! Well just gonna give a quick update on my life during the summer and whats been happening. 

1. Well me and my friends created a summer list and have been doing some of the stuff on the list.. were really lazy and haven't done that much stuff but we did build a fort out of boxes in my basement. it was as big as the room. so pretty much the most legit fort ever!!

2. I've started doing summer track workouts.. they are killing me cuz i haven't really worked out for "real" since the middle of may. so it's kind of a wake up call being out of shape. it makes me want to work a lot harder so i can reach my goals! My goals are: 1. Run 49 seconds in the open 400. 2. Run 48 seconds in 400 relay split. 3. Get a scholarship from UVU. So everytime i'm doing stairs or abs or running around the track and i feel like quitting i have to remind myself if i don't go hard that none of these goals will be possible. Every single year i've come up just a little short of my goals. Freshman year i wanted 52 i ran 53. Sophomore i wanted 50 i ran 51. and junior year i wanted 49 and i ran 50.3 So this year there is no wanting. I'm gonna go out and do it. not just for myself but for my team cuz our goals as a team is to be State Champs and i've got to do my part for the team!

3. I've been trying to write more songs on the piano. I recorded one song if you haven't heard it already. but.. i'm working on a few more right now and i'm gonna get into the recording studio again by doing yardwork for the guy who records my stuff :) free recording is awesome! and yardwork is not too bad so i'm pretty happy. i've just got to finish my songs!

4. Thats pretty much it. My life is family, friends, sports and music. It is me and i love every minute of it. Hope you enjoyed the little tid bit of my life :)

p.s. - can't wait for Val Dawg to come to Utah so we can partay it up!!!!!!!

I usually just get on to look at everyone else's but i guess i'll write a little tid bit. haha well indoor track started last monday and it's kicking my butt! i'm in really good shape for how early it is in the season but i'm still having problems with me hip. :( oh well i'm still going to run fast no matter what. Well thats pretty much it, track and oh christmas of course! i can't wait! so.... here's a song of the week!

Song of the Week

So, we're alone again 
i wish it were over 
we seem to never end 
only get closer 
to the point where i can take no more 

the clouds in your eyes 
down your face they pour 
won't you be the new one burn to shine 
i take the blue ones every time 
walk me down your broken line 
all you have to do is cry 

hush my baby now 
your talking is just noise and won't lay me down amongst 
your toys in a room where i can take no more 

the clouds in your eyes 
down your face they pour 
won't you be the new one burn to shine 
i take the blue ones every time 
walk me down your broken line 
all you have to do is cry 

photographs and brightly colored paper 
are your mask you wear in this caper 
that is our life 
we walk right into the strife 
and a tear from your eye brings me home 

the clouds in your eyes 
down your face they pour 
won't you be the new one burn to shine 
i take the blue ones every time 
walk me down your broken line 
all you have to do is cry

"Song of the Week"

"You Can Close Your Eyes"
James Taylor

I've been listening to a lot of James Taylor lately. His sweet, deep, peaceful music has been lullabying me for the past month. I decided on this song i guess because it was my favorite and it gives me the most meaning. I feel that it means nothing changes.We are who we are. The decisions we make define us and make us who we are. It kind of follows us through our life. If for better or for good. 

Well the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising
So this old world must still be spinning round
And I still love you

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, its all right
I dont know no love songs
And I cant sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When Im gone

It wont be long before another day
We gonna have a good time
And no ones gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, its all right
I dont know no love songs
And I cant sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When Im gone

"Song of the Week"

"Fix You"
Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep 
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face 
When you lose something you can't replace 
When you love someone but it goes to waste 
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home 
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below 
When you're too in love to let it go 
But if you never try you'll never know 
"Just what your worth"

Lights will guide you home 
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you 

Tears stream, down on your face 
When you lose something you cannot replace 
Tears stream down your face and I...

Tears stream, down on your face 
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes 
Tears stream down your face and I...

Lights will guide you home 
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
