Week 4.5: Consequences.

Blog time again chumps! This one might get a lil wordy; I've got lots on my mind. I don't really even know where to start.

I'll start off with the topic of consequences. Even though it is a ver broad never ending topic, it has been on my mind a lot lately. When most of us hear that word, we automatically think of bad consequences. We, often times, don't view the good things that happen to us as consequences but as rewards. But the two remain the same. We, as humans, tend to feel like we receive mainly bad consequences in our lives. I'm no exception. Most of the time it feels like everything sucks. Then, something always reminds me of just how good I have it. I am reminded to count my blessings instead of cursings. But still we must all own up to the consequences of our choices whether good or bad, and move on. Let others make their choices and respect them. Remember the golden rule.

Another hot topic in my crazy brain has been friends. To be honest I have lots of friends. I am thankful for every one of them. I won't name names, but they know who they are. It all started with my first friends who will always be my mistake bestest friends even though our paths cross more rarely than I'd like. Even over all these years, I'd still do anything for them. As our paths went in different directions, I was blessed with new friends that I now hold equally as dear. Thanks to them I've never felt lonely or abandoned. A well timed phone call can fix a lot and prevent loneliness. Surprisingly, at my job, even though I don't like my job, I have made great friends that are like my family. Again, as we drift different ways,  I will still consider them best friends. We all have a BEST friend though. Some one that knows you better than anyone else,  and can finish your sentence before you even say it. I can think of that person. I hope they think of me still. But, alas, those dreaded consequences come into play and change things; throw us a curve ball and we are forced to move on.

Anyone that knows me knows that a big topic on my brain is always music. My taste in music has changed a lot over the years. But in the end I've really found my musical identity. However eclectic it is,  it describes me perfectly. If you want to get to know me, look through my ipod. Few have been privileged to do so.

Here are this weeks top 3 songs on my ipod and why:

Oak Tree - Desert Noises. This is my favorite track off of the album Mountain Sea. They will be here in concert twice this month. I plan to attend both shows.
We Were Kids - Turtle Giants. This song + the music video is just great. It makes me want to be a kid again. Life was much simpler.  Days were longer. Santa Claus was real.
Dig Into Waves - Freelance Whales. This band has the potential to achieve great things. They are quickly climbing up my mental charts. Give it a listen. Close your eyes as you do so...

What I've learned this week: when everything seems bad, is when something amazing comes along, and you're happy. And you ant to spend all your time with that something.

Until next time friends...
