How I Think

Recently I volunteered to face paint at a charity event, ran by one of our neighbors.  I was a bit worried because I had only face painted once, and that didn't turn out too well.  So being me, I youtubed videos on how to face paint.  And it worked.  I now really enjoy face painting and want to advertise my services.  Why am I talking about this?  Because it helps explain how I like to approach situations.
1. get the mission.
This is where I'm told what I'm doing, when it will be and what's expected of me.
2.  Gather Information
This is where I learn as much as possible about what I'm doing, especially if it's something I've never done it before.
3. Do it (self explanatory)

Well that's it, that's how I accomplish new tasks.

we'll have an old fashioned wedding

In case you didn't get the title it's from the musical "Annie Get Your Gun."  Anyways as you probably know, today on TV's and computers everywhere i a wedding, the wedding of prince William.  Personally I don't really care for royalty, or weddings so I won't be watching, but I would like to know why is this such a big deal.  I know that William will be king one day but that doesn't really have anything to do with are political future, would someone kindly enlighten me?.  I would like to say though that I personally would hate to be a member of the royal family, but I would also hate to be a celebrity for these same reasons.  No privacy, you're compared to everyone, people get really mean if they're against you, and you have to look perfect all the time no matter what. Maybe some people like that, but again I don't understand it. And again I ask for enlightenment.  I just don't see a function for all the flowers, guests, and stuff.  But whatever floats their boat.

We're painting the roses red.

Well sort of, we don't exactly have any roses... and we're not painting them red.  However we did dye easter eggs on Friday (yes I know a long, long time ago.)  What does dying eggs have to do with painting roses? well it doesn't really have anything to do with it at first.  Afterwards it does.  After we dyed the eggs we had to get rid of the dye, and pouring it down the sink just wasn't cool enough so we took it outside and splatter painted our flowers with bright egg dye, our flowers are very pale, they needed a splash of color.  This is the result.

blue

okay so that is kinda red

we kinda missed some of the flowers and got leaves

and green

Yes I know I lead a very exciting life.   Happy Tuesday!

Grenade Bruno Mars

I'm sure you've heard the song, "Grenade" by Bruno Mars. here are the lyrics.

Easy come, easy go

That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same

No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman,
That's just what you are, yeah,
You'll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
Bruno Mars Grenade lyrics found on

You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same

If my body was on fire, ooh
You' d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...
But darling I'll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.
No, you won't do the same,
You wouldn't do the same,
Ooh, you'll never do the same,
No, no, no, no

Honestly I don't really like the song, until recently.  When I realized we are all like that girl who dumped him.  No, i'm not saying we all go around dating and dumping.  But we have done it with someone who truly loved and still loves us.Jesus.  Three days ago he caught a grenade for all of us and we won't do the same.  Jesus was beaten black and blue, had rusty nails shoved through his hands, and he did everything for us.  But we won't do the same.  Think of this song as Jesus talking to you, I'd feel awful and guilty especially when he says "Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from

Mad woman, bad woman,That's just what you are, yeah,"  But it's true, we will go to hell because that's where we're from, full of sin.  When he says "You said you loved me you're a liar cause you never, ever, ever did baby..."  That's also true with some Christians they say they love God but they don't.Today is easter we should be willing to die for the person who died for us, but we aren't.  So today remember that and whenever you listen to this song remember it, we're the people who he's singing this to, saying, "But you won't do the same."  

Earth Day

Happy Earth day!
I know it's not really all that important, but my sister just knocked on my door and told me to wear 100% cotton.  However I don't have 100% cotton pants the highest I have is 86% but it'll do.  I do have a T-shirt that would be perfect for the occasion, it's made of 50% cotton and 50% recycled plastic coke bottles.  It's one of my favorite T-shirts. Oh here's a picture of it.

Anyway happy earth day.

the 80's

It's spring break and I'm having fun.  On Monday we went shopping, on Tuesday I had art class, and today I'm going to youth group but other than that I have no idea what I'm doing today.  Probably Hopefully more of what I did yesterday.  Listening to 80's music while drawing, I'm not crazy...I'm really not.  So, if you're like me and enjoy 80's music then let me share with you some of my favorites.

St.Elmo's Fire: I really like this song but I have no idea why, normally a song that says "elmo" in it would be weird but I actually like this a lot.

Everywhere:  I find this song very relaxing, and fun.

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now:  This song makes me think of friendship and teamwork.

You're The Voice:  This song is basically tells me not to be scared or be quiet.

Livin' On a Prayer:  A true 80's classic and just a great song

Mom and sister enter dancing during this song

You Spin Me Round:  Super weird music video, but very catchy song

Footloose: This is a fun upbeat dance-y song

Let's Groove: another fun dance-y song, reminds me of a musical

Sweet Dreams: Kinda strange and repetitive but really cool.

I Love Rock and Roll:  Yes I do

So those are my top ten 80's songs, in no particular order. 

The Theater

So... I have been to two plays in the past two days.  One, my sister's friend was in a musical (not really a musical but a collection of different songs from different musicals.)  And two my sister had a ballet performance.  They were both nicely done but the theater isn't for me.  I don't like the crowds of people and the (sometimes) uncomfy seats.  I totally respect the time and effort it takes to put on a play or dance but it's not really something I enjoy doing a lot of (I get peopled-out very easily.)  But whenever my sister performs I'll be there no matter how uncomfy the seats are.  iGirl/Danni you did great.  So anyways, what are your thoughts on dramas plays and such? I'm curious.
