I Am Thankful For

Here's a little poem to celebrate the holidays!

I am thankful for the opportunity to live.  I am thankful for the breath I breathe every other second.  I am thankful for waking up this morning.  I am thankful for my friends that support me in whatever I do. I am thankful for my family that provides everything I need to grow wise.  I am thankful for the water that allows me to run.  I am thankful for Jesus for saving me.  I am thankful for music: without it, I’d go crazy.

I am thankful for

My heartbeat.

I am thankful for

My best friend.

I am thankful for

Cures for disease.

I am thankful for

Albert Einstein.

I am thankful for

The ability to laugh.

I am thankful for

The Republican party.

I am thankful for

My future.

I am thankful for

The Bible.

Just a little poem I made!  I hope you like it!

Psychology

     For a long time, I've found I have a knack for all unnatural themes. For example, I am in love with the TV show The X-Files. Not only because Fox Mulder/David Duchovny is one of the most dreamiest men ever created, but because of how creepy and interesting it is. I love this show for multiple reasons. First, it's about amazing subjects such as the paranormal and extraterrestrial life. I love aliens and ghosts. Second, my mother told me my father picked my name out when I was born. He also loved this show, and I am 99.9% sure I was named after the female protagonist, Dana Scully. It's a wonder my middle name isn't Dana. If I was a boy, I'd be Fox!
      Anyway, I also have a keen interest in psychological disorders. Whether it's schizophrenia to epilepsy, it captures my interest. I'm not even sure how I came to love psychology, but I've been interested in the medical field for pretty much all my life. I think schizophrenia is unnatural due to how complex it is and the effects of it. I would love to sit down and interview a psychopath or a serial killer to find out what makes them tick. That may sound weird, but I am weird!
     I've done my research, and the psychological fields I'd be most interested in would be forensic psychologist or clinical psychologist. Forensic psychologists help the FBI and police to identify criminals, use their knowledge to discover what happened to murder victims, and interview suspects. Clinical psychologists talk to patients and diagnose psychological disorders.
      Talking about it makes me impatient to graduate high school and go into college to study psychology!

At First Against My Will But God Invented Chills

"Ghost On the Dance Floor" by Blink-182 is an excellent song.  I discovered it off of their latest album, released in 2011, called "Neighborhoods".

 

I greatly love this song for many reasons.  One, it's packed with emotion.  The way Tom DeLonge sings it gives off how great of a singer he is.  His voice gives off emotions such as nostalgia and sorrow, and he makes you feel them.  The second reason is because it's written in tribute to DJ AM, a good friend of their drummer Travis Barker.  DJ AM was killed from a drug overdose in August of '09.

I love this song for another reason.  When I listen to it, I do not picture DJ AM.  I picture a man at a dance, probably because of the title.  He's staring at the dance floor and being reminded of his deceased girlfriend.  I can imagine him not being able to let go of her, and when he sees her ghost in the middle of the dance floor, it hurts because he misses her so much.  "If your eyes stay right on mine/my wounds would start to heal" is referring to if he blinks, she'll be gone, and he definitely does not want her to leave.  His "wounds" is his broken heart.  "But dreams are all I feel" is referring to how he still loves her, but he knows he's just dreaming she'll come back.

All in all, this is a depressing song.  I love it's uniqueness, though, and at the moment, it's one of my favorites.

Maybe I Had Said Something That Was Wrong

In a fit of rage, I crawled my way onto YouTube last night.  I was bored, done with homework, and sick.  I was looking through my music and was disgusted at how I didn't want to listen to any of it.  I shuffled through my songs once again on my iPod, and after a few moments, I landed on "Skinny Love" by Birdy.  Birdy is a British 16-year old who did an amazing cover of the Bon Iver song.  Personally, I think it's way better than the original version.  It was the only song I had by her, so I figured I'd explore some of her other songs.

Hello?  Best idea I ever had?  I think so.

I found the song "Shelter".  It's about love, like most of her beautiful songs are.  It's about her finding a boy who is pretty spectacular: except she's scared to fall in love with him.  "I have never/Felt this way" means the way he makes her feel is all new to her.  "Maybe I had said/Something that was wrong" is indicating that she is afraid she said something bad, probably unintentionally.

This song is just amazing.  I recommend it to anyone, whether you listen to a totally different genre or not.
