The Beach Boys-In My Room

Wish we went last year when we had the chance Dad. Love you every day.

Hey Hey

My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.

Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you're gone, you can never come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black.

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of a johnny rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

Moving on Without you

So, my dad, my best friend, passed away two weeks ago today. I thought I would end both of my blogs and start new with another one, but I realized dad wouldn't have wanted that. He would want me to be happy and keep going. He only wanted the best for me. The only person in this world who loved me no matter what and would never have stopped.

I feel like someone has handed me someone elses life to live. Like this really isn't my life. But I guess it is. And if it is, I'm not sure how to live it. Before I had everything figured out - how my life would be, where I would go, where I would stay. And now everything is so confusing. It is like I'm starting all over.

Everyone keeps telling me I'll be able to do it and I'm sure I will, too. I just hope, Dad, that you are out there watching me every day and guiding me through it all. I will never stop needing you. I love you Dad.

New Year's Resolutions

Okay, so it's that time of year when we all make resolutions. I did the standard 'I'm going to lose the weight this year that I couldn't last year and, well, the year before that.' Thought about being more charitable, being more patient, staying more committed to finishing a project. Those are all great. But honestly, I really don't have a resolution this year. I guess to really experience life is what I want to promise myself. Take that big leap of faith and see where it takes me. I'm not sure where I will be but the journey is the adventure, right? Not the destination. I'm very much looking forward to 2012. I'll be able to look back in 2013 and every year thereafter and say to myself 'that was one hell of a year"

Watching You

Is it silly to look through all my photos and want to cry. I see photos of people who were with me and now are gone. I've seen myself as a child and now with my own. I see the way people were and no longer are. I see how fast time has gone by already - seeing it all through pictures. I wish for one moment time would stand still and I could hold on to that perfect little moment forever. Though, I'm not sure which moment I would like to freeze. There are so many of them, which, luckily for me, means I've been blessed with the most amazing life and I will never take what God has given me for granted.
