“So bottoms up, cheers, baby here’s to your tears.”- Cannonball Days, R. Adams

I’m just not really feeling it today, you know?

I am learning the hard way that the most important thing in life is how you react to the things that happen to you. You have to learn to just take it on the chin. People aren’t going to respect you unless you control your reactions and responses. And some people are only interested in HOW you react. The Killers said it best: “save your face, you know you’ve only got one…smile like you mean it.” Which is what I am doing.

Of course, that being said, it doesn’t mean that you have to agree with what is going on…

Engagement pictures… sheesh. Who knew that a wedding could take over my life? And not even my own wedding?!

I need a job.

But… I have finished all the homework that is due this week. Oh yeah. You are now allowed to be impressed.

Here is a song to wrap up my feelings on, well….everything right now. Happy Wednesday everyone.

“Once I knew a girl in the hard, hard times. She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes. Now she’s gone but when I wear it, she crosses my mind. If the best is for the best, then the best is unkind.

I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand. They say working’s best cause poverty is hell on land. Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan. So if the best is for the best, then the best can be damned.

Spent a few years on the Queen of Spain. She was a leaky little boat the went up in flames. When the boiler blew some people started naming names. But if the best is for the best, I guess the best is to blame.

Spent a few more as the Cairo Crown. A heavy weight wrestler in a Midwest town. But I was lonesome for a girl that could pin me down. They say the best is for the best, but that’s not what I’ve found.

Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to when I thirst. I don’t spend time listening to other people’s words. Sometimes their right, most times the reverse. They say the best is for the best when the best’s for the worse.”

- Josh Ritter, Best for the Best
