~Long Hot SUMMER~
Its only a month into a mild winter here in Georgia but I wish for summer! To ease the perpetual boredom of this wet winter I watched endless summer series from the 2011 summer and now I can't wait for these series to pick up again in the summer! I know it's completely frivolous and pointless to pine for a television show but I hate to admit it but I have really become enveloped in these shows! It is not even that they are more spectacular than anything that plays during a normal television series but I feel that the shows get just a small amount of airtime that they try to cram great acting in a short period of time as to gain a larger audience....well for me it worked! :) So here's to next summer where I can't wait for the return of Covert Affairs, Drop Dead Diva, Rizzoli and Isles, and of course Burn Notice!! :)

The Tyme is now!
:)) Здравствуйте! Я рад, что вы посетили мой блог сегодня, и я надеюсь, вам понравится, что вы читаете здесь! :) To all my Russian followers; Hello! I am glad that you have visited my blog today and I hope you enjoy what you read here! Sadly. I do not speak Russian but I'm sure goggle translate will do my blog justice. LOL
Well the semester has arrives with a bang and here I am again already planning for tests, assignments and starting to show signs that plague all poor, overwhelmed college students this time of the year. This semester I decide to be ambitious and am currently enrolled in five classes so I am not struggling from a lack of work. On top of it all, last week besides a job offering I had to turn down, on Thursday, my poor faithful Volvo broke down in my church parking lot so I have been braving my Tuesday Thursday 100 mile commute with my Dad's ancient minivan. It does not even come close to being a stylish car but at this point I am just relieved it runs. Sometimes I wish that Georgia had better public transportation. There are getting there but not even getting close to cites like New York City. I have a friend who using a one time purchasde pass can travel by bus or by train virtually anywhere in the city without the hassles of a car. I thank God I do have a transportation via a car but it is way to much maintenance.
Speaking of maintenance, I have found myself in the devastating habit of not investing in the freindships that mean the most to me and now I found myself with the people who mean so much to me not responsing to phone calls and no longer returning phone calls in in general not making time for our friendship just as I had no time for them a while back....):
Life moves on again...some relationships fade out and I guess that as we move forward, sometimes we move apart as well. Ahh well, have to get some sleep. Joyous fun awaits me tomorrow with a pack of little kids just waiting to give me a reason to loose my mind. My song for today... The Tymes

Something about January
There is just something about January... after the excitement of the Holidays, poor January tries to make an impression but all it amounts to is unbearable winter weather and one Monday off for MLK day. Otherwise, the doldrums of January tends to lead me into a state of severe boredom!!! Pretty soon navigating the internet, catching up on shows and listening to old music becomes....well old. Thank God school starts again next week or soon I'll be counting the spots on the wall as entertainment.
Today besides the typical activities to ensure my boredom I reminisce on past regrets. you know those moments when you have to wonder...How stupid could I have been to do something so mindless!!! The memory I focused on today was one in which when an awkward situation arose instead of taking control of the situation, I played the coward and in the end lost a really good friend. Is it better to just move on or to try to fix the past? There are some memories that seem to be poignant only in the winter. Regardless what blemishes the past has, whether its something about January or something about the past, life moves on at an alarming pace and soon it will be February when it'll be Something 'Bout Love! <3
There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh It sets you free
There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love
that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

2012 ....Here I come!
.....And the count own had begun. Another midnight approaches, another year ends and another begins. At the end of every year I mediate on what went well, and where I made I made mistakes but when that clock strikes 12 I'm just thankful to God that another year has passes by and I've entered a new one. Every new year's eve I'm so thankful that I've made it out alive again. So many don't. Kortney Gordon, baby Sophy, Jon Sharfenberger, and so many others who are missed by loves ones tonight.... life moves on and years come and we must move on with the times. I am so thanks full for God's love and mercy. So many times he could have left me fail at school on the road and in my familial life but he spares me every time. I am so thankful to have a chance to so what is right, a new chance o might necessary changes and improve myself in order to better serve Him. I've made friends of a lifetime and learned lessons that no book could have taught and most importantly, I have realized that it is not ourselves or people we should praise but the loving God who mercy endures forever. So here's to a Happy 2012! May it be filled with, love joy, peace and with a sense of meaning. La Multi Ani!!!!! :) :) :)
P.S If this were another century...I would assume a war is going on, lol ...but the Fireworks are pretty! :)

Music=LIFE
Every day is a miracle reaffirming the truth that life is worth all the trouble. Regardless of the insanity of the day, I seem to always find an appropriate song that perfectly displays my mood and outcome of the day. So with that in mind, I aim to find a song for everyday and relate to what happened in my life that day. I don;t have a glamorous life and many times a very plain day to day routine; sleep, food, school, work, repeat. If I don't find a way to live everyday I'll never have a life so by finding a song of the day I can forever associate my memory of that day with the melody tuning me to the right frequency.
Music is so much more words, it's life set to rhythm and to find that rhythm I have to actually live. While music is not the only thread that hold life's tapestry together, singing along to a song is a sure way to remember for a minute that today is now in the past but the future is filled with God's eternal promises. Sometimes I hear a song and its seems to transcend even time and space where what I hear is what I feel and every note is a little time capsule capturing that feeling forever in notes.The song chosen for today as a precursor to musical journal coming is a simple song by Brazilian singer Michel Telo. Now Christmas is over and once the holy season has ended. I tend to fall in a benign existence and forgetting the awesome God that guides me everyday even when I think I'm all alone. The song emphasizes that in God, we have a that guiding voice to our lives and a way to overcome. Only then can we truly live a song tuned to heaven's frequency.
The Chorus:
Portuguese: English:
A voz, que move montanhas. The voice, that moves mountains.
A voz, que fez abrir o mar. The voice, that parted the sea.
A voz, que te chama e te escolheu. The voice that calls you and chose you.
Parabéns, você venceu. Congratulations, you have overcome.
Meu amigo, essa é a voz de Deus. My friend,that is the voice of God.
Psalm 57:7 "My heart is steadfast, O God. My heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise you, O Lord among the nations. I will sing of You among the peoples.

É amor pra valer - Love is REAL
It started with Ai Se Eu Te Pego to Fugindinha and no E amor pra valer. Michel Telo's catchy songs are addictive and his voice are amazing!!!! I have no talent for dancing yet I found myself dancing not to a recently scored goal but to the sheer rhythm while enjoying the lyrical honey dripped upon my ears... <3 No, I am not fangirling but I must admit that for now, I can't get enough of this particular talent. I only wish I knew Portuguese! ;)
For me, this musical discovery was made on the recommendation from a friend who has somewhat differend tastes and music and I'm never opposed to listening to new types. This person, who recommended the song means so much to me and for a while, just talking with this friend helped ease the stress of a day where nothing went right. I trust his opinion, so when the topic of music came up, Ai se eu te pego was recommended and from the first couple sentences I was hooked! There is nothing like a fantastic song to transcend the ordinary and create a more exciting world where human innovation not only entertains but gives some hope for the future . Maybe now I'll have more conversation topics than just the bipolar Georgia weather....(:
I have to some work to do:( but meanwhile, Love is Real and I still might learn some Portuguese!:)

1 John 4:18-19
- "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us."
