You.

I felt the need to blog so I thought I would ask a friend what I should write about. She suggested herself. She's had a few drinks I'm fairly certain but I decided to agree to her wishes and write about her. I have the slightest clue where to take this entry but I will attempt to take it somewhere. And off we go....
When I think of her music is my first thought. Amazing taste in music this girl has. I will be honest and say that I think it's hard to find a girl who shares the same taste in music that I do. I've typed about it before but it's true. The song that comes to mind is Daughters by John Mayer. First of all because she loves John Mayer and second because I think that it fits her pretty well. For those of you who don't know what the song is about, just go check it out. It fits a few girls in my life, this one in particular though.
This girl is beautiful. She is very naturally good-looking and although she thinks she has a weird nose, I have yet to notice it. Short blonde hair. Gets me every time. She looks great dressed up or dressed down. Tan. Ball game.
I haven't seen her in ages and I wish we lived closer because both of us are pretty busy and can't seem to get away to visit the other. Also, she's never seen the mountains. HOLY COW! I almost asked her to come with my in July but know that she's also very busy and probably couldn't take 3 days off work. Even though it would be worth it.
So here's your entry Love, it's not much but it's from the heart. I could write more but it would get me in trouble. You are everything a guy could ask for. We have many great conversations and I will leave You with a quote that reminds me of one of them.....

"And Our Dreams Are Who We Are."

A Million Miles In A Thousand Years

I recently finished A Million Miles In A Thousand Years by Donald Miller. It is a wonderful book where the reader follows the author as he edits his life to see if it would be worthy of a movie. What he finds is that, like a movie, lives have memorable scenes as well. Your life may not be as exciting as a movie but that's because movies aren't real. Life doesn't happen like The Notebook or like The Hangover. Sure, each life will have memories like some scenes but your whole life cannot be that way. That's why we go to the movies and think "I wish my life was like that." It is, just not every day. Scenes in movies often take place in strange places.
One line that sticks out to me was near the end of the book and I would like to share it with you. "When we look back on our lives, what we will remember are the crazy things we did, the times we worked harder to make a day stand out." Like in the movies, you remember those memories you have while in a strange scene. You won't remember sitting a home on a saturday with your friends playing video games but you will remember sitting in a pasture during a lightning storm talking about why you love someone.

A Million Miles In A Thousand Years makes me want to leave right now, grab 3 friends and head any direction. We don't need to have a destination. That would be much more memorable than sitting here watching football (soccer) and typing on my computer. It makes me think of the song by Valencia called "The Good Life." Listen to it and read this book. They will change your life. That is the hope anyway.

Good Lovin' by Travis Clark

This song is a demo by Travis Clark, who is the lead singer of We The Kings. I love that it's just him and his guitar. That's all.

Verse 1
A small town boy meets a big city girl
In the summer sun, having fun
She fell in love, she can't believe it
The apple of his eye, she's the center of his world
But it breaks his heart when she takes the next flight
And why's she leaving good lovin'?

Verse 2
He says, I don't know what to do cause
I'm so in love with you
But we're miles apart, far away
But in my heart you'll always stay close to me
And I'll be close to you
Fall is a falling, he's really calling
What's a girl supposed to do?

Chorus
And go back, go back baby
Before it's too late, it's too late maybe
He's going to find him someone else
To get you off his mind
And that summer she thought it was nothing
But she was leaving good lovin'

Verse 3
So the story goes and he wonders why she chose
Does she take a chance, on true romance
Or spend the nights alone
She writes, I'll never ever love someone
The way that I love you
And in this whole world there's nothing more
That I want more than coming home to you

Outro
Small town boy and his small town girl, good lovin'
