Have you got it in you?

It takes a lot to be always on form,
It takes a lot
Or maybe not,
all the time, all I've got
Maybe not

Been one of those days,
Safety first don't push,
what's the hurry?
One nerve remaining,
waiting on one look,
Have you got it?

Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?



All at once,
not a whisper nor word,
Then all at once
(Let me have it all,
Let me have a battle on,
Easy target look can we just
just get it over with?)
It's getting worse,
against all the odds,
It's getting worse

Been one of those days,
Safety first don't push
what's the hurry?
Cause there's one nerve remaining,
waiting on one look,
have you got it?

Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?



Blue, blue, they make me blue
Head down, quick!
Take cover, be good in the move
Blue you, make me anymore blue?
Don't scream, shout
Caught in the light of your suit

Been one of those days,
Safety first don't push,
what's the hurry?
One nerve remaining,
waiting on one look, have you got it?

Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?

One kind word


Believe the picture.
Say something nice to someone who looks sad.
It will make them feel better.

Life


Prom

Last night was prom.
Was is the best night of my life? Hardly.
Was it fun? Yeah kind of.
It seems like I can never have an enjoyable prom.
The boyfriend and I broke up and it was rather awful.
It was mutual, but breaking up is not fun.
It makes me feel like I'm going to be alone forever.
Fun stuff, right?

Zack Foundation

"The best index to a person's character
is how a person treats people
who can't do them any good
or can't fight back."
Abigail Van Buren

The Zack Hinish Foundation.
This is something very dear to my heart.

Zack Hinish was five years old when he went to heaven. He was a blessing to all who ever spent any time with him. His big blue eyes and wonderful personality was something that could not be overlooked. From the beginning, Zack had some problems. Normal things, such as walking and talking that are learned at a young age, were not present in Zack. Doctors struggled to diagnose the problem throughout his life. After a few years, seizures appeared.

Seeing this situation made me realize that my aunt Tami and uncle Jeff are my heroes. They are the strongest people that I know. They spent countless hours and even months in hospitals with Zack. They devoted everything that they had to help make Zack's life the best that it could be. They have compassion and kindness that is hard to find in today's society. Many people in their situation would have given up. They fought to find a solution every minute of Zack's life.

Following his death, a foundation was set up by my aunt and uncle to honor Zack's life. Every year there will be a chosen project and funds will be raised to accomplish it. This year it is to make a more accesible playground at the school Zack attended. A yard sale is taking place next weekend to start raising money. After that a Zack Walk will take place, walking to raise money in his honor. The whole foundation is heart touching.

It is heartbreaking that he passed away at such a young age but I think it is wonderful what is being done to honor his life.

Pre Prom Prep

“When we seek to discover the best in others,
we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.”
William Arthur Ward

Today may as well be called Prom pre-prep day. After school I have a massage and I'm going with one of my best friends to get a pedicure. I guess it's exciting. After that I'm heading up to Altoona to help my aunt and uncle prepare for the yard sale tomorrow for the Zack Hinish Foundation. I'm excited to see them and see how much was donated for the cause.

Heidi Montag

"The way I see it, if you want a rainbow
you have to put up with the rain."


Yesterday after school I spent my entire afternoon/night doing things in preparation for the prom.

First it was nail time. I got fake nails and they are kind of strange to have on. I have always had the awful habit of biting my nails, therefore I have never really had nails longer than my fingrtips. What a strange feelings.


After that was hair time. My mothersaid my hair was too dark and needed a highlight so I said whatever and went and got it done. I didn't really care either way. It took over two hours for the highlight and cut and I don't even like it. It looks so strange. The weirdest and most unnatural color ever. Hopefully a few washes will fade the color. Fortunately hair grows so I will not be stuck with this color forever.


Finally after that I was done. I got to come home. Yay!


I left at 3:30 and got home a little after 9. What a day.


It made me think about the growing obsession with outward appearance. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy dressing up and looking nice, but I think that this craze is starting to get out of control. There is a fine line between what is normal and what is excessive. One person who crossed the line: Heidi Montag. I always see magazines with headlines announcing the thirteen surgeries she has had to look a certain way. It is sad that she feels ugly without the surgery. It makes me think that she has some major insecurity problems. Personally, I think that these proceedures are probably not helping with the problem and until she deals with the deeper issues, she will not be happy. I hope she can pull it together before its too late.


My job for us all: Stop obsessing over outward appearance. Try to spend less time primping, and more time enjoying life!
