Motorcycles, Across the Universe, and Texting

So I've got some updates...


First off, my dad decided to up and trade our 80s Ford Mustang for a Harley Davidson Motorcycle. I think he's reached his midlife crisis. Mom's so excited. I find this whole thing very comical and I have trouble not laughing to myself when I think of my dad driving a Harley. He's so tall and skinny and his hair is graying and he doesn't even own a suitable leather jacket. Haha. But I'd love to ride it once or twice... I could never drive one myself, but to ride it would be fun.


My friend Pollo is mad at me because I don't like the movie "Across the Universe." I saw it last week, expecting great things. But all I got was a boatload of psychedellic nonsense. It really glorifies the '60s lifestyle with the drugs and the avant-garde sexuality and the breaking of the laws... I understand that those things happened, but why make it look so good? Drugs do terrible things to people, and immorality is already a poison in our society. Why make it worse by coming out with these movies of teen life and freedom and love and stuff that people make such a mockery of already? Plus it doesn't make me feel any better knowing that theres an exposed breast in that movie. That's just the candle on the cake. Not ONLY do they TALK about bad stuff. It's actually SHOWN through Drug Trip Cinema and nudity. Yuck.

Well, Pollo thinks that I'm way too sheltered. She's trying to make me believe that this was just how people were and how they responded to problems in their lives. I agree... the 60s happened. But it didn't HAVE to happen. People can respond to problems in both positive and negative ways. And I think that sex and drugs are NEGATIVE Responses. Instead, we should make the best of what we have and be thankful for it. Attitude is everything. So instead of being ENTERTAINED by the 60s lifestyle, let's LEARN from it! Okay? Okay.


Finally, I text. I only get 200 send-recieve a month, which is absolutely nothing, but at least I've got it. Thaddeus, Dake, LutherKid, and Bass have all texted me and I feel so in the loop!! yaya! I'm already worried, though, that this service is gonna take over my life. I can't let it do that. I don't have enough texts to let it do that!!! :)


So yeah, I guess I'll leave you with this song that almost describes Thaddeus to a tee. He saw this song, and we've decided together that Taylor Swift is going to hunt him down at night because obviously she's been stalking the kid if she knows this much about him!!

Haha!



I don't think that passenger seat

Has ever looked this good to me

He tells me about his night

And I count the colors in his eyes


He'll never fall in love

He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair

I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong

And I don't think it ever crossed his mind

He tells a joke, I fake a smile

But I know all his favorite songs


And I could tell you

His favorite color's green

He loves to argue

Born on the seventeenth

His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes

And if you ask me if I love him

I'd lie


He looks around the room

Innocently overlooks the truth

Shouldn't a light go on

Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long

And he sees everything black and white

Never let nobody see him cry

I don't let nobody see me wishin' he was mine


I could tell you

His favorite color's green

He loves to argue

Born on the seventeenth

His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes

And if you ask me if I love him

I'd lie


He stands there, then walks away

My God, if I could only say

I'm holding every breath for you


He'd never tell you

But he can play guitar

I think he can see through everything but my heart

First thought when I wake up is

My God, he's beautiful

So I put on my make-up

And pray for a miracle


Yes, I could tell you

His favorite color's green

And he loves to argue

Oh, and it kills me

His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes

And if you ask me if I love him...

if you ask me if I love him...

I'd lie
