random thoughts

there is a lot on my mind today... bits and pieces that probably won't make sense to you, but i want to get them out for my own enjoyment. here goes!

i heard the most profound quote today: music is the universal language. wow... good one huh? too bad i can't put my name on it. it is so true. in all cultures, continents, and countries you can find music. it is fundamental to life! can you even imagine a life without music... ewe. what a terrible thought. i know that in my own personal life, music is so important. i am always listening to a song or humming... something to do with music. it is so intriguing the effect music has on people. it can uplift or bring you down. it can make you giddy and love-sick or sad and alone. the power in those simple notes is incredible. sigh. i love music.

i love my daddy... you never know what you have until it is gone.

boys are blind. REALLY! can a girl be any more obvious? this is not the first time i have felt like this and it sure as heck wont be the last. but honestly. men! come on... open your eyes and see... don't just look. SEE. you will be very surprised at what you find. meanwhile, you will make a bunch of girls very happy :)

hopeless romantics... sigh. why is it hopeless?!!? why can't people change and make it real... not just a "silly, unrealistic dream". i refuse to believe that there are no gentlemen out there. REFUSE. i have met some... like my institute teacher, irwin. he is amazing. and my ward's old bishop... he was incredible. both of these men are modern day princes. there have to be more. boys take a look at men like these and strive to be a prince for your own little princess you will find one day. i know she will appreciate it. then, on the girls' end, we will try to be the best we can be for our princes. sounds like a good trade to me.

laughter... it really is like a medicine. i am so appreciative for this marvelous thing. i LOVE laughing.

did i mention that boys are blind?

i hate roots. when you color your hair and your natual hair starts poking through. i suppose the smart way to fix this is to not color your hair... but where is the fun in that?! it is a pain though... you have to touch it up just right or bad things could happen. like your roots could turn out darker then the rest of your hair. or you didnt leave it on long enough and they are too light. sometimes you might miss a spot and have a random place on your head that has blonde roots climbing out. what a hassle! oh the lengths a girl will go...

nosy people can drive a person crazy. i am at fault with this sometimes too... but i try and catch myself. but you know those people who are always looking over your shoulder- reading your texts, emails, listening to phone calls, jumping into conversations and obnoxiously begging to be told what is going on, butting in a serious convo and wanting to know all about it. it is really bothersome. the world would be a better place if we would be more cautious about this... dont be annoying and have to know everything. it's okay to not know! you WILL live... promise :)

am i a clean freak? i wonder at times. i think i have ocd. i look around and i am appaled at the way some people live. i find myself doing crazy things- like cleaning other people's apartments, straightening up department stores, folding clothes that are thrown on a table in a store, etc. am i crazy? i like things to be clean... it is more peaceful and happy. nothing like walking into a clean home. plus your environment has an effect on you. why live in a mess? all it does is make you cranky. so come on... clean up after yourself and let everyone else live without your sour attitude because you have been unknowingly affected by your dirty living space.

CLOSE THE DOOR! all the way.

why is our world centered around money. everything we do deals with these stupid pieces of paper and cheap metal circles. why? why cant we just live day to day to live. be with each other instead of waste time working to get money, going to school so you can get a career to make money, etc. this seems so silly to me. why don't we do something about it?

obama is president. the second coming is COMING.

competition. why is this so commonly found in our world today? it seems like everything is a competition in our day and age. why do we need to compare ourselves to others and show them up to prove we are better then they are. this is ridiculous. there are always those people who have to compete with everything. if you have a story, they have one thats better. if something happened to you, something happened to them. if you are having a bad day, they have had one that was much worse. your life sucks, theirs is ten times more awful. if you are singing, they start singing louder. there are people like this all over. dont they drive you crazy? let's stop this competing crap and let everyone be themselves. that is enough. then, we will stop showing everyone up. let a person have a moment in the light. everyone wants it. to those people who are always showing up others: SHUT UP. thanks :)

facial hair is sick. shave it off. a little is okay but let's kill the men who invented handlebar mustaches, soul patches, ANY mustache, and thick chops. let it go and gimme that razor!

alone time is really great. necessary for life.

i am going to marry my best friend. i dont want a relationship that is just an infatuation. i want it to be a deep friendship- deeper then anything... one that will last. one with someone that knows you so well... almost as well as you know yourself. that is true love. p.s. the girly romantic stuff can still happen with your best friend ;)

"romeo save me, i've been feeling so alone. i keep waiting for you but you never come. is this in my head? i don't know what to think..." what a great song...

love kirena
