Hey everyone!
I'm trying to start blogging more regularly. But I need ideas. So if you have anything you'd like me to talk about comment and let me know.
I can do book reviews, I've read a lot of books. Lots of classics, or I can recommend good books to read on almost any given subject. And I can discuss more songs, just give me the name.
Or I can talk about photography. Or life. Or music
If you'd like advice about anything, feel free to ask, and if i have any ideas I'd be glad to help.
Just comment and let me know.
Thanks all!

Friday! (oh... it's wednesday... oh well :)
So, I know I don't usually do this, but I thought I'd talk about the new 'hit' song 'Friday' by Rebecca Black. I'm gonna post the lyrics, and talk about them :) I don't hate the song, or Rebecca Black, i'm kinda neutral. I think the song is repetitive and it's stupid in some respects.
Orignal Lyrics
Seven a.m., waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein' everything, the time is goin'
Tickin' on and on, everybody's rushin'
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)
Kickin' in the front seat
Sittin' in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?
(Ok, comment time. This first part is mostly okay. She at least picks a subject that she knows about. And doesn't start off singing about love. Like a certain other teen singer *Cough*. But the obvious question is, if she's headed to catch her bus, why did she go with her friends? I'm pretty sure her parents are thinking she's on the bus...... maybe)
It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin' forward to the weekend
(Okay.... really repetitive!! What about:
It's Friday, time to get down,
because everyone is looking forward to the weekend.
Partyin', partyin' Yeah!
Fun fun fun fun!
Lookin' forward the weekend.
Or something like that :)
7:45, we're drivin' on the highway
Cruisin' so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My friend is by my right, ay
I got this, you got this
Now you know it
(Okay.. time? am or pm? And why are they crusin'? Cause they don't look old enough to be driving, let alone the highway! Glad to know your friend is on the right, who's that on the left? Maybe say: My friends are by my side)
Kickin' in the front seat
Sittin' in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?
It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin' forward to the weekend
(Becca, just take this out... repetitive and we know already and you say it later anyway.)
Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin')
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today
Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after ... wards
I don't want this weekend to end
(You wanna get mocked by teens today? State the obvious... drives them nuts and makes them 'haters'.. They feel like you don't think they know it. And it makes you seem stupid to them)
So chillin' in the front seat (In the front seat)
In the back seat (In the back seat)
I'm drivin', cruisin' (Yeah, yeah)
Fast lanes, switchin' lanes
Wit' a car up on my side (Woo!)
(C'mon) Passin' by is a school bus in front of me
Makes tick tock, tick tock, wanna scream
Check my time, it's Friday, it's a weekend
We gonna have fun, c'mon, c'mon, y'all
(No rap... unless a teen. Just kinda weird with the older guy...)
It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin' forward to the weekend
It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Partyin', partyin' (Yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin' forward to the weekend
(Seriously? TWICE?? you know why people hate your song becca? You use FRIDAY way to much!! We know what day it is :D and we're glad it's friday :) don't make them sick of it!)
Okay, like I said. Just some observations. I know this is kinda a silly post. I don't hate her, or like her. I think if she wrote some songs that aren't as repetitive. I'm glad that she didn't start off with another dippy love song like everyone else does. But clean up your lyrics, make them flow better, make sense. And not give people headaches cause it's uper repetitive!

Love & Respect
My mom just gave me a book to read called "Love & Respect", and it's more geared to married couples. But also very good for anyone to read. At first wasn't too thrilled about having to read it, but decided to just start reading it, and i'm enjoying it.
It's based off of the verse in Ephesians 5 that tells wifes to be submitted to their husbands, and husbands to love their wifes. This is telling the wife to respect her husband, and him to love her. This is important. Why don't they tell the wife to love him? Or him to respect her? Very simply, because it doens't need to be said.
A lady is wired to love, and it's what we do and need. If you ask almost any married woman if she loves her husband, she will tell you 'yes'. But ask her if she respects him, and often times, esp if they've been having issues, she will tell you 'no.' We are wired to love, and respecting we sometimes feel is something that he has to earn. But he shouldn't, we should respect him because it's commanded and it's because it's what he needs. In the same way that we want our husband to love us. He wants respect. Because he knows that you love him, it's shown, and just known. But do we always show him that we respect him?
Men are wired to respect, they respect each other, and their spouse. Bu what they don't always show is that they love thier spouse. They don't always show they love them, because they aren't wired for it.
The auther has come up with a thing called "the crazy cycle." basically it's a crazy circle that couples get themselves into that will go on forever unless one of them breaks it. (see below)
As you can see, she may feel unloved, so she responds to him in a way he feels is disprespectful, and then he'll respond without love and she'll.... and ON and ON. And this is often why people get devoriced cause they can't break this cycle.
Then the section i'm reading currently is about who should break it, and ways to do it. Sometimes the simplest things can change your marrige.
Even tho I'm not married, engaged or anywhere all that close, it's good to learn this now, instead of later when I might need it because I'm in this cycle. And even now I see that it applys, even just to friends. Like after reading the first couple chapters, I realize that I sometimes treat my 'guy friend's in a why they might take as disrespectful and I shouldn't do that. Just because if I can't respect guys i just talk to, and hang out with sometimes how will i do with respecting a man I'll someday be with everyday?
Like the other night at a party, I was treating my one friend like he couldn't take care of himself. And I didn't really think about it, till after I'd left the party. or I would've apoligized to him because he's not someone that needs to be babied by his friend. He's an indepentant person, and I felt bad. I saw him a couple days later and he pulled me aside and told me: "Anna, we decided that we'd tell each other if we do something that bugs the other person right?" (I agreed, cause we did, I feel that friends should be open about things that bug them) "I don't like it when you treat me like a kid, I have been taking care of myself since I was little, and I can still do it." (paraphrase)
Needless to say I felt bad, because I had seen that I had done it, but I'm glad he felt he could tell me about it. He didn't label it as feeling disrespected, but I know that's how it made him feel.
Well I will end this lenghty post here. And I'll probably make more comments on this as I continue reading through the book. If you are married, I would recommend this book, even if you're marrige is perfect, it's still good to know. And if you're not married, I recommend this. Learn it now, so you'll spend less time in crazy cycles like this when you're married someday.
