"And That's How I Choose to Remember It" by Rilo Kiley
a better pic of the painting i gave my friend
40x50
Frozen days and me freezing time in this journal. Sometimes I look back over my entries and I wonder who the person was that wrote them. And other times, I remember exactly where I was and how I felt at that moment - for better or worse.

deep thoughts
I don't know if we have it better now than our parents or grandparents did...I mean, we have so many more choices, but there's something to be said for a time when we knew less and dreamed more...or maybe that's crazy. I don't know.
"Remnants of Yesterday" by Hot Water Music
Well it looks like someone's feeling pretty nostalgic.
That's the new year for you.
I'm so young but I feel like I've lived a lifetime of drama.
New Year's Resolution:
Take it down a notch.

"Better Days" by The Kinks
Feeling like it's all going to be okay today...
ever get the feeling that it's just going to be alright?
Even when there's nothing to feel good about,
sometimes there's just this well of hope inside.
I want to know hope.
I want to let go of fear.
I start today.
Cold - When Angels Fly Away
"Broken Telephone" by The Be Good Tanyas
When a connection is lost, is it dead forever?
Can feelings change and grow and hide and come back?
Or do they simply live or die?
I'm going to try to stop making things so black and white.

"Must I Paint You a Picture" by Billy Bragg
What if I stopped speaking at all and communicated only through drawing?
Some ideas don't seem so strange in your head,
then you write them down and they seem bizarre.
Well that's another thing journals are good for, I guess.
Sorting out insane thoughts from the good ones...
and avoiding homework.

Alright, I'm not trying to be deep and analytical today. I just feel lazy and like a big procrastinator. I'd love to just stay in bed -- like a Saturday when I was younger.

I'll make sense of me someday. For now, gotta try to make sense of my world...
"How Soon is Now" by The Smiths
start of the year things seem to slow...time freezing with the ground. Feels like I'm waiting for something to happen, seasons to change...something more? Pretty soon, another year will be over. I worry sometimes about time racing by.
smiles,
You know sometimes it's all wrong
and then you see someone smile and it's all right.
I'm thinking I don't smile nearly enough...

Painting of a relative, for his birthday
s: 40x50
It's my grandmas sister's husband, he turns 60 so they will celebrate his birthday big.
I haven't seen him for very long. but when i was a kid he was very kind to me..
i drew a lot even then..so a few years ago, think i was nine, i drew something on a napkin, it looked horrible, but he was kind n he told me then that i'll become a great artist and even gave me money for the drawing because he wanted to have it... i don't get how he could believe that about me then. anyway so now i've painted a portrait of him. my grandma loved it. it was she who gave me the photo of him. I gave him the painting yesterday on his birthday party.. and he was really happy, he stood infront everyone when he opened it, and everyone got really shocked, and when he told them it was me who have painted it, they all applauded to me..
What I'm listening to today: "Perfect Sonnet" by Bright Eyes.
Love...
is it the point of it all?
To be loved. To be understood. To understand.
Strength and clarity.
That's what I wish for today..
this is my world

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
...That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
Against the grain should be a way of life
...What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
The Queen Of My Heart
Grandma.
