JIMMY EAT WORLD LYRICS
"Let It Happen"

Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me

All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
I can laugh it off.

I can hear you now
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.

Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
And all the placings

And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
I can laugh it off.

I had to include this: I love the title of her new album: "some people have real problems" by Sia. That's brilliant.

signed, "anonymous"

a·non·y·mous [uh-non-uh-muhs] –adjective
1.without any name acknowledged, as that of author, contributor, or the like: an anonymous letter to the editor; an anonymous donation.
2.of unknown name; whose name is withheld: an anonymous author.
3.lacking individuality, unique character, or distinction: an endless row of drab, anonymous houses.

anonymous has no courage. no confidence to show face. it is ashamed, embarrassed, cowardly. anonymous is a weenie.

an anonymous letter holds no weight. "but what about an anonymous donation?" you say. "oh that means they're humble." they don't seek recognition. Sure, but entirely different circumstances, it is what you are doing - positive or negative (to bring down/cut/hurt or to lift up and help someone.)

stick with the phrase you learned long ago from your mother: "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." and identify yourself!

I love to watch football!

I love watching football (soccer). Even though I am an American it still seems proper to me to call it football. So pardon me, fellow Americans, I’ve just got to call soccer—football. (Even though I've grown up in a die-hard football family, I still love American football. ...this is getting too confusing.) I have found that can sit there and watch a whole match. The past couple days I’ve caught 2 games, and I know I have other things to do, but watching the football match takes precedence! My trips to England, Scotland and Portugal must have had an influence. I think it’s so cool to see such a universal sport. Anywhere you travel around the world you’ll see children, and big kids playing soccer/ football/ futbol. Even though I’ve never played (I always wished I had… anyone know any soccer leagues for women beginners?) I am catching on to the rules & penalties to the game, but overall it seems pretty simple.

So my wish is to someday attend a game in England or in Europe someday. The energy of the crowd would be exhilarating to be apart of—especially when it involves rivals, such as Manchester United ... Liverpool ... West Ham United... Birmingham. (actually I really have no clue who the main rivals are, I just know that when the rivals play, nothing else matters, but the game!)

cleaning up

this made me smile.

“I wanted to remind everyone that the New Year is a good time to keep up with your computer maintenance. Perhaps you didn't realize that, in addition to dusting your screen from the outside, it's necessary to clean it from the inside where you normally can't wipe. Click on the link below and watch the difference in clarity.”
