you know what i's talking about?

have you ever had that one thing introduced to you that you absolutely
cannot get out of your head? it may be a book, a band, an instrument, a
movie, a song, a scripture, an insult, someone talking about your momma,
or any number of other things. you just can't push it out of your mind.

sometimes i embrace those things, if i like them enough. like the first
time that i hear a song and it haunts me for the rest of the day, or
sometimes a week or more, because it was just that captivating. or the
first time you watch a movie and you wish that your life could be that
way, not because the main character is a superhero and gets all the
ladies, but because you want to hurt like the protagonist did, you want
to have that kind of normal life instead of yours. or the first time
that you realize that there isn't a thing that you can do to gain your
own redemption and reconciliation, and its the most incredibly freeing
revelation that you have ever had.

sometimes i despise those things, if they upset me enough. like when
your parents tell you they're getting divorced after they've been
married for over 20 years. or a good friend tells you that their
favorite band is nickelback. or that there is nothing that you can do to gain your own redemption and reconciliation, and its the most incredibly frustrating revelation that you have ever been confronted with.

it's amazing how our minds work. and our hearts.

Really? You're not?

No, I am not a morning person. Thanks for asking.

But when I do get up early, there are some things that I very much enjoy.

1)The sunrise-it's a new day, aw baby it's a new day.

2)When it's cold, I enjoy being blasted with it when I walk out of my house. I guess it's the ultimate wakeup call.

3)A strong cup of coffee, preferably something french pressed or an americano. Not sure that there is much of anything better in the morning.

I guess what I'm saying is, getting up early is not so bad after all.

But some days it's the worst.
