(UN) Break My Heart

There are a lot of things that break my heart, or at least a lot of things that make me say "that breaks my heart", and after the recent events at the Boston Marathon I think this is a good time to talk about all of the things that break my heart....because on that list is
..
1. (Innocent) people that die in any form of accident (car, plane, terrorism, crime, or other). Why bad things happen to good people is a question I don't think anyone has, or will ever have, an answer to. I know too many people that have lost their loved ones due to an accident. It's just not fair.

2. When parents lose their children. Parents shouldn't have to burry their children. Children are suppose to burry their parents. When parents lose their kids to a sickness or medical condition it's even worse, whether their child is 2 months or 21 years, I don't understand it. It usually happens to the best people I know...my heart definitely breaks for those that have to go through that and I hope to God that I never have to experience it.

3. Children that grow up without (good) parents. It's so sad to me to see kids that have shitty parents, because those kids are never given a chance. Often times their parents don't even care that they're ruining their children's lives by not letting them have one. Kids shouldn't have to feed and bathe themselves, put their selves to bed at night, or get their selves to school in the morning. They shouldn't haven't to watch out for their younger siblings because mommy and daddy are at the bar. It truly does break my hear to see kids that are lost in this world because their parents don't give a shit about them. There are so many people out there that can't have children that would do anything to have one to take care of.

4. People with substance abuse. I have it in my family and it really is a sad thing. It's hard to watch people just throw their life away. What's even harder is trying to reach out and help someone only to be shot down. I will never understand how someone can live their life that way.

5. Leaving my family. It's sad, but it's true. Every time I leave my family after a weekend at home, or they leave me after a weekend of visiting, a little piece of my heart breaks. I keep telling myself that I will grow out of it someday, and I'm still waiting for that someday to arrive. Until then, I have managed to cope.

6. People that judge me for who I am or who I am not. Society has a way of decided what is and what isn't, and what should be and shouldn't be. Well, I don't care what society says. If you can't accept me for who I am, then I don't like you either. I will not be what society tells me to be, I will be who and what I want to be. Sure it may take me awhile to get there, but all good things take time, right?

That's enough of me being a Debbie downer for the night.....laters!

Music to my Ears

I'm watching the ACMs, for those that don't like country music....that's the Academy of Country Music awards and it got me thinking about how much I LOVE music. I don't know how people function without music in their lives. I listen to music when  I'm in the shower and getting ready in the morning, I listen to music in my car, all day at work, on my ipod at the gym, if I'm on a bike ride, I always have music on!!! So, here are 10 of my favorite songs of all time in no particular order...

1. Konstantine (Something Corporate)
2. 500 Miles (The Proclaimers)
3. In the End (Linkin Park)
4. Yellow (Cold Play)
5. Imagine (The Beatles)
6. Crash and Burn (Savage Garden)
7. Pretty the World (Matt Nathanson)
8. February Song (Josh Groban)
9. Friends in Low Places (Garth Brooks)
10. Don't Stop Believing (Journey)

So there ya have it folks. I could easily come up with about 100 more of my favorite songs, but I'll spare you.

In other news, they say we're suppose to get 5-10 inches of snow this week. It's APRIL!!! We have barely gotten rid of what snow we had all winter and now we're going to get MORE?! I did not sign up for this....I need to move. It makes me depressed just thinking about it...ugh.

Time to burry my nose in my book and finish it, just over 100 pages to go. Whoo!!
