Fearless
By Taylor Swift
Fearless
see relatedTaylor Swift
I've always liked country. Since I was about 12, I think, I've listened to our local radio station. I'll go through stages of listening to it all the time, or not listening to it at all, but I always appreciate good country music.
I tend to like Toby Keith, Martina McBride, Rascall Flats, Lonestar, etc. So maybe I'm more into pop/rock country? I appriciate, but am not as much into, the older "Johnny Cash" country. Although he's a genius.
My newest favorite artist is Taylor Swift. I've had many arguments with people about how country she is. She's really not oober country, and definately her album "fearless" is pop country, but she's definately still country.
The way her lyrics are, are very typical of country music. The banjo and other sounds are also definate country sounds. And the jaded lover, or unrequited love songs are also quite country.
But anyway I absolutely LOVE her. I love the way she uses lyrics, I love her voice, everything. She makes me really happy, and oddly enough, reminds me of Avril Lavigne a lot, especially with her rhyming schemes and such. Particularly in the "Fearless" album, which I've heard more of.
I'm definately going to go out and buy both albums soon! If you haven't listened to her, or have only heard "Love Story" played 5 thousand times on the radio, give her another chance. She's fabulous. And I guess I'm a sap, but I adore "love story". Such a happy song.

So I think I'm going to actually attempt to BLOG today. Weeeeird.
Yeah, so, I haven't really written anything in awhile. I feel like nothing interesting and blog-worthy has happened (which is utter nonsense) and also I really just ... forgot.
But right now, I'm in the mood to write something, so here I am.
I'm drinking a latte out of a large cup, and that makes me happy.
The forecast for Monday is snow, and that makes me unhappy. Getting to my evening class in snow is not going to be very fun. And I don't want to miss it.
It's now February. Which I almost can't believe. But I am very thankful as well, because this past year had been a long and hard one. It's had it's very good times, but it's had much more bad times then usual. Part of it, I think, is the fact that I put off going to school for a year, and that's always hard. I believe I made the right choice to take a year off after highschool, and save, so I don't have to go into debt, or stop school, but that fact doesn't make it any easier to wait. I love the kids I nanny, and I love my family, but when you're in the "waiting" stage of life, it feels like limbo, and it's just not very fun.
I have a lot of things to do before I can get into school, and so today I'm going to work on them. First thing, is achieving my GED. Homeschooling was good for me in a lot of ways, but not so good in the diploma area. If I was going to a conventional college, I could take the SATs and placement tests, and it wouldn't really matter. But since I'm going to a Beauty School, I need a "government approved" diploma, which I don't have. So off to earn my GED I go. I'm terrified that I will fail the math portion, however, and then I won't be able to go to school. I would be so upset if math ruined my life.
Just kidding. So anyway, I've been putting off getting it, which is stupid, but now it's time. It's time to get my rear end in gear and start working for my dreams, because they don't just come on their own.
So that's what's going on with me. Working, dealing with a lot of family stuff, getting thru each day, acheiving GED, applying for school, getting into school, finishing work, and attending school. I wanted to get a second job, because I'm only working about 20 hours a week, but it isn't workin out so well. Unfortunately for me, nobody seems to be hiring.
Sigh.

With the Christmas season upon us ... I find myself, once again, (as I do every year) watching this video about five thousand times.
So here it is, so all the rest of you can have your jaws drop to the floor, and wonder "how the heck did he do this?!"
I've had the technical aspect of this feat explained to me several times by my tech savvy brothers and father, and I'm no nearer understanding how it's done today then I was last year ... or the year before, or whenever we discovered this.
Watch!
