Video Premier for T-Swifty.

So, I know most either absolutely hate this song, or like it some. And I understand why one could hate it and love it. If one hates it there are some reasons like, it doesn't have a country feel, it is too pop like, it's really quirky, it's not very song like, it's super strange. And I agree with all of those things, which somehow make the song super epic. Because the song is basically a joke. Taylor made it to be silly. And I respect that she doesn't take her self too seriously and some people in the music business solely produce music that they think will make their image improve. Taylor doesn't care she just says what she wants to say. She wanted to make something fun and light hearted so she did. So here is here new video for We are Never Ever Getting Back together.

And if you weren't sure how classy Taylor is I found an interview to prove my point further.

Actor Spotlight: Zooey Deschanel

Many of you may know this bubbly, happy go lucky girl from 500 days of Summer. Where she played the girl I hope I never become. This 32 year old from Los Angeles, California was born to a father who was a cinematographer and a mother who was an actress.

Zooey and her sister Emily (from Bones) were basically destined to end up in the Hollywood game. She was raised as a Roman Catholic and she attended Northwestern University a Christian University in Chicago, Illinois before heading off to pursue a career in Hollywood. She has starred in many popular movies including Elf, Our Idiot Brother, Yes Man, Failure To Launch, The Happening, and Almost Famous. I've noticed that in almost every movie or show she plays the best part. She always plays the girl that's a bit quirky, girly, awkward, and very different. Zooey has her own way of living life but many women want to be like her and many men find her intriguing. Her new show that started in 2012 is called New Girl. This show is pure brilliance and captures who I think she really is. Every part she plays I think represents a part of her personality and each part shows her own versatility. Instead of her acting versatility. This funny girl also sings in a band she created called She & Him. Their style is very old and laid back. Which plays to her old lady personality and I love love love it. In her recent personal life she got divorced from her husband Bill Gibbard of two years who is the lead singer in The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie. She also became an aunt this last year to a nephew named Henry. Here is a clip of her show, it is absolutely fabulous. Zooey brings great pizzazz everywhere she goes.

And here's her profiling her great voice, actually she is so cool. She has her own quirky thing going on and I love every bit of it. And her clothes are usually pretty fabulous, I don't think she wears pants often either which is a huge plus!

She & Him- In the Sun

Daily Devotionals.

I found these on twitter, actually posted on Rhianna's twitter. And as much as I understand why, it's also very confusing. Either way, I think these are great and hopefully they are inspiring to you too.

There will be more to come, but I think these are pretty great, so enjoy!

I made a mistake.

I'm usually the first to be honest when I've messed up. And I have just realized, I've done some wrong.    And hopefully after reading this you won't make the same mistake. See I really liked this guy a long time ago. And long story short it didn't work out in the way I wanted it to. A few years later I heard he said some pretty bad things about me. So from that point on I didn't trust him. And honestly I don't blame myself, I was hurt and needed my guard up for my own good. I find that I always have my heart out there for anyone to stomp on, so every once in awhile I need to protect myself. Then in the last few years we've seen each other around. And it's not like I've been too cold, but I haven't always been the friendliest of friends. The first time I saw him, I practically blew him off. The next few times I said hi. And in the last year there was a few month period where I really really tried. At first I was afraid to be friendly but within a few weeks I noticed he was different. Over the time period I've known him he has always been polite and kind to your face. But that's to your face not only that but he was a bit of a player. This year he's changed, he's devoted his heart to the Lord and within the first night that I saw him I knew something was different. He cared about those around him, more than I've seen anyone care about others around them before. He became a complete lover to all. He's positive and kind, all of the time. And at one point this year I decided that I didn't feel like pursuing the friendship. I couldn't tell whether he was being friendly because he cared about the friendship or if he was being friendly because that's how he was supposed to act. At that point in time I made the biggest mistake. I knew that he had changed but still didn't trust him. I was afraid of being vulnerable because I always am. What I have missed out on now, is someone who wanted to be a caring friend. I thought I was making the best decision for myself. I thought that I was doing what was needed of me. But I was wrong, I thought I saw the Lord's plans through but I didn't. I don't want any of you to miss these opportunities. So honestly, be open to those around you. Be willing to trust even if you're afraid you'll be hurt. I would rather people hurt me day in and day out, than knowing I didn't try. Knowing that I might have missed an opportunity. A few months ago I thought I knew what they Lord wanted me to do in the situation. But going on with my own life and not paying attention to others is never part of the Lord's plan. I was friendly but I didn't let him in. And I really hope it isn't too late. I hope I get another try. We all need more positive and bright people around us. So now I know the Lord wants me to try and make a friendship grow. I don't know how I'll get there but I trust the Lord to guide me all the way. And I hope you do the same, don't cut others out of your life if they are only trying to help you become more fruitful. So here's to going out of our comfort zone's, here's to trusting the Lord, here's to being more vulnerable than we'd like. Sometimes we make mistakes, and hopefully the people around us will give us a second chance.

Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald- Summertime

And it's all, and it's all neutral.

Today is your day, and in some ways it always will be. Photos of you have become haunting. But the memory will always be comforting. Most days I feel as if you aren't alive, or that you are some memory that I have made up. To me you aren't real. And when I see you it's like running into a ghost. You're the one thing  I haven't figured out and probably never will. Are you alive? It's hard to convince myself you are somewhere in the world breathing, living, thinking. There was a time when I always knew you were right down the street, about 2000 steps away. Today I don't know, you could be here you could be there. What I do know is that when this time of year comes around there is an emptiness inside me. Kind of like when you go on a roller-coaster and your stomach drops. But this is a continual two week stomach drop. But to be honest it lasts longer, I'm not sure it ever goes away. Times like these make it hard to breath, the memory of you is almost suffocating. You are the hardest thing I've ever encountered. The worst nightmare I've ever had. The most surreal dream I've ever dreamt. The saddest reality I've ever woken up to. The biggest smile I've ever shown. The hardest I've ever cried. You are both the wittiest person I've ever met and the most thoughtful. You are all extremes tied together. The craziest, the most peaceful. The kindest, the harshest. You remember everything, but forget even more. You see me for who I am, no questions asked. No judgements held. I was reading a book the other day and I could have sworn it was our story. But then again I'm not sure we really had a story in the first place. With all of this I solely thank you. I thank you for everything you've taught me, everything you've shown me, and everything you always understood. I thank you for the comfort that you've brought into my life. I hope you're in a good place now, and that your safe. I hope you are recovering and living a brighter life. And no matter what happens today has always been your day.

Harsh Words.

How many times in a day do you go around doing your thing and hear those around you talking trash about another? How many of those times have you been involved? And let's not pretend that within the last week we didn't say something mean about another. Because we did. And as Miss Norbury from mean girls would say, "We've got some girl on girl crime." And that is exactly what we need to stop ourselves from doing the next time we hear someone talking bad about someone we know and we want to chime in. I mean how many times is the shape of someone's body commented on in a negative light, and this kind of comment is unnecessary. Whether the body is too big or to thin, that is none of our business. And the only time that should be mentioned is if we are truly worried for the other, in those cases we need to come to them sensitively and privately to bring it up. But in no other circumstances should we make comments like that. They are rude, and really who wants to be rude? Or how often do we go around talking about our dislikes of others because they did this or that, or they act this way or the other. We need to stop, this negative energy is destroying us. It doesn't matter if you don't see them as intelligent or as too intelligent. It doesn't matter what we think of others. They are God's creation, and we need to respect that. We need to realize that we are all on the same level, and even if we don't notice our comments are putting them down. So let's think before we speak, before we ruin someone's perfectly sunny day. But I think we need to take this a step farther. Other's around us are still going to talk trash about those we know and those we don't. Whether we know them or not, we need to stand up for them. We need to come to their defense whether we think they deserve it or not. No one should be put down for any reason. And I encourage us all to stop those around us who are saying something, don't just back out of the conversation but say something. Like, " hey there is no reason why we need to be talking about someone that way let's just mind our own business and talk about our lives." I know this sounds like I'm  talking to five year olds. But the truth it we all hear it, we all say it. It's something obvious that we can control, so we should. You want to make the world a better place? Let's start with ourselves and our attitudes. This song below, I used to listen to all the time when I was younger. Once at a talent show a girl who was blind sang this, and it really speaks volumes, everyone deserves respect.

I feel as if everyone has their own opinion about the death penalty. And that does make sense, but sometimes I think we only give the situation our immediate reaction, we don't think the whole thing through. So that is what I will be trying to accomplish with this post. I will preface all of this by saying I realize fully what the death penalty accomplishes, it gives the communities and the affected families a sense of justice and security, but I feel we are called do more. To give a real situation I will use James Holmes from the Colorado movie theater shootings. This guy went to The Dark Knight Rises premier and shot about 50 different people killing around 12. He also boobietrapped his apartment in plans to kill others. So what do we think, does he deserve the death penalty? As you probably assumed I definitely don't think so. But that seems ridiculous right? I mean I should be thinking about what if that was a member of my own family? Well I have, and I still feel the same way. Here's the deal, I understand that he killed many. But we all also know an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. At the same time I don't think that's a good enough reason. So then we can remember that he may be crazy, he may have a mental illness. But of course most killers have to have something wrong in their minds to kill. So maybe that's not a good enough reason to feel the way I do. I guess maybe I love second chances, I love giving chances to those to don't deserve them. But why? Well the one who loves me the most, gives me as many chances as it takes in my lifetime. So shouldn't I feel that same love towards others around me, no matter the crime they commit? But it's not just that easy is it? But we need to remember that these people need help. They need to go to some sort of center and they need someone to work with them. They need help and we shouldn't' just give up on them so easily. My thoughts are that we need to treat all live equal. Each life is a life. My life is a life and it's not worth anymore than someone else's life. I'm not better than the one next to me, but we are equal. So if I want a second chance when I mess up, then I need to be willing to give the other that messed up the same opportunity. And I understand that in jail they aren't receiving the help I wish they could, there isn't always someone there taking an interest and trying to figure out how to make the killer recover. But I think we should add to the reasons why I don't' agree with the death penalty. Someone has to flip the switch, I'd be sitting here asking someone in this world to be responsible for the killer's death. And that's simply not right. It's also not my place to judge whether or not someone deserves to die for their actions. A sin is a sin is a sin, and why should I see it any differently. And I realize keeping those in jail costs a lot of money, but I am here saying that I know my money is worth keeping those that are not okay around and try to get them the help they need. The guy in Colorado was in trouble what kind I'm not sure. He may have some issues, from what I don't know. But what I do know is that when we give up on a life, the Lord doesn't smile down on us and say good job. If we instead give love to love around us, and I mean all of those around us. Then we show them the Lord's love, and what better testament of faith could we show to those in need of help. There really isn't any.

The Lumineers- Ho Hey
