Public Spaces

In English class yesterday we read a sheet that was arguing about how people all say things in private that they wouldn't say otherwise and that the real crime is exposing what people say in private. Well, I don't agree with that. I think that if you are going to say it in private even if you don't want someone to know you shouldn't be surprised if they find out! People from my own personal life that I talk about here all have this address, so I run the risk of them reading this everyday. But this is how I feel and that is why I write it and I have no shame in that.  When you begin talking in private about things you would be disowned or hated for isn't that a sign to you? Either there isn't a reason that they would hate you for it (unlikely) or you really should be telling someone, in public, your views to get the problem fixed. Yes I understand that in certain cases like government workers there are lines. But to most of us that doesn't apply. So- I propose that we take responsibility for our actions, and our voices.

Hundred; Vienna -The Fray

I like the piano in this song and just this whole album in general.
"And who's to say its wrong? And who's to say that it's not right?"

I'm contemplating to put more of their album up here.... Hmmmm. See the problem is I listen to this
album in the car so I have no idea which songs I like by name :p Ah here we go!

Vienna
"There's really no way to reach me. There's really no way to reach me because I'm already gone.
Only so many words we can say spoken upon long distance melody."
"Maybe in five or ten we'll meet again and straighten this whole thing out. Maybe then honesty need
not be feared as friend or an enemy."

Taylor Swift Red Album

Got 'Red' the other day and, as cause and effect often does, now I am here!

All Too Well
"I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more and I might be ok but I'm not fine at all."
"Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much, maybe this thing was a masterpiece until you tore it all up. Running scared I was there, I remember it all too well. And you call me up again just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of being honest. I'm a crumpled up piece of paper because I remember it all, all, all too well."
This song is perfect for this week because I was having dinner with my ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend (did I mention she was my best friend and he left me for her?) and he ranted about how everything in his past was a terrible mistake and and how he was so stupid to do some things. Because of him I'm missing the best boy I've ever known. But you know, I'm with Taylor. I think he remembers it all too well. Maybe knowing that will help me out.

I Knew You Were Trouble
Continuing on, above mentioned exboyfriend? I knew he was trouble... Now I feel bad for it.
"No apologies. he'll never see you cry. Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why you're drowning."
"And the saddest fear comes creeping in, that you never loved me or her, or anyone"
Most of all I'm scared for her. After all she was my best friend!

Begin Again
So T has been what I've needed for a long time. He changed my mind about love.

This album isn't like the first stuff Taylor came out with, but I like that its following her path in life
And that she's honest with her feelings. Hope everybody enjoys!

Incredible Love -Ingrid Michaelson

I have been really digging jazz lately and this has that same silky smooth feel for me. I really enjoy it, even with its dark side (cough cough Kelly Clarkson :p [but I like her songs as well so it's all in good spirits here!]), and I hope you guys will too.
