I like the broken ones.

I was recently eating a bag of chips.

  Funny way to start out, right? Anyway, I like to break up my chips before eating them. It makes them more "bite size" for me. So I was talking to myself, in my head, a normal thing for me, and I thought "I like the broken ones."
  As I said this, I realized it could be applied to many different scenarios.

I like the broken chips...more bite size.

I like the broken ones (guys)...meaning the guys who have been through the mill.

I (God) like the broken ones (people).

This could be the most important, insightful, and profound.
  For me, God is my Father, Friend, and Savior. He loves all of the people of the world So much that He sent his one and only Son to be beaten and killed so that we could be saved. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, didn't come to die just for the "good" or "perfect" people. There are NO perfect people. We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. No one could get in to the kingdom of God based on their own good works. We need a savior. THE Savior. Jesus came to save the rich and the poor, the "good" and the "bad", the graduate and the drop out. God likes the broken ones. He likes to use our past mistakes, our cracks and bruises, to reach out to others who need Him.

Well, this deserves a song! I'm not sure if I have already shared this song, but it is a great one and it feels like it connects with this post for me.

Mumford and Sons -
Ghosts That We Knew

"But you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart. And you knelt beside my hope torn apart."

Guess what October is....

If you remember, back in June I informed you all that it was Adopt-A-Cat month. And then I adopted a cat!

Well, October is Dinosaur month. I'm going to adopt a dinosaur!!

 

Ok, maybe I won't adopt a dinosaur. Too much hassle. ;)

But, I do think dinosaurs are awesome. Maybe I will just watch a Jurassic Park Marathon instead!

 And of course the new season of my new show addiction The Walking Dead starts this month! 

Season 3 was released to Netflix and I finished it in about 3 days! I'm excited for the new season to start but I'm not sure if I will be able to handle watching it so late at night!

EEK!

Well, good luck to all of you in keeping up with The Walking Dead, the dinosaurs, and halloween!

Remember the clay-mation movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas"?

 

Well, here is the opening song "This is Halloween"

Don't forget to watch other great October classics like Hocus Pocus, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and Beetlejuice!

 

Stay safe, my friends!

Warning! I'm about to whine and complain!

  Well, I didn't want to end up complaining about silly meaningless things on here but it seems I can't help myself today.

  I'm a little lonely. Technically I have only been single for about a year and a half, but I miss being in a relationship. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad I broke up with my ex. It wasn't the best match. And I don't want to sound desperate or anything. I have had a couple offers for dates that I had to turn down because I just wasn't interested in those guys in that way.
  It's not that I miss the flowers, gifts, free meals, and things. That stuff was great. But what I really miss is the company of someone close to you. That you can be honest and open up to and know they won't see you any differently. Someone who loves to spend time with you and will go to a movie they have no interest in because they want to be with you. Some places I just can't go to on my own because I'm a girl and it wouldn't exactly be safe to be out at night by myself. Or to go to some stranger's home to buy a cheap craigslist item. That is not something I would recommend doing on your own. And yeah, I'm sure my mom would love to do all of those things with me if I asked her, but I don't always want to go with my mom to a concert at a brewery. She isn't about that scene. Obviously I know that even if I had a boyfriend I wouldn't get to go to all of the places I want or do all the things I want. I just want the person to be here for me to ask and have a chance at it.

Alright, alright. Enough of that for now. Again, not desperate, just a little lonely sometimes.


So! Let's pick things back up with some music, eh?

This is Queen singing Somebody to Love.

Now is the time for a zombie video!

Haha, it would be a good zombie video time, such as Family Force 5 from a previous post, because I have been away from here for so long and now I have resurrected to post about cats again!!! Ahahahahaha!!! :D

Ok, just a little bit about cats.
I finally adopted one of my own! Actually I adopted her way back at the end of June but ya'll didn't know yet so I figured it was time to tell the online world!

Her name is Leona (as in spanish for female lion, not the singer) and she is a beautiful, grey and white striped approx. 2 yr old. She seems to mostly like me, when she isn't attacking my feet as I sleep! ;)

Here is a seemingly adequate transition pic between cats and zombies...

So zombies!
I have recently fallen for The Walking Dead. I never understood why it was such a huge hit until I decided to try it out on Netflix and said Oh My Gosh! What is going to happen?!?! So now I have to know. So far I have only seen the first two seasons on Netflix but I hear the third season will be added in the next couple of weeks! No spoilers please :)

So, let's go back, way back to the days of the awesome Audio Adrenaline!!

Here is Some Kind Of Zombie by Audio Adrenaline. 

 

Cats, Part II

So I know I already went on and on about cats and how I want to get one but there are pros and cons and what not BUT June is Adopt-A-Cat Month!

So, come on! This could be a sign to me that it is time to ADOPT! A cat, of course ;)
Especially since I actually have a job now, :)
I really wanted to save up for a car first, though.
Oh man, there I go second guessing again!
I just don't want to make a mistake, but who would want to make mistakes! Sheesh. My problems are nothing new and nothing major. I am so blessed and can't even see it!
Ok, so either I will be posting next about my new cat or how I was too chicken to pull that trigger. I am being a "scaredy cat" if you will, teehee :)

Ok, in other news! I want to give you some music, of course. One of the cds I have been able to listen to on my new commute to work has been Between the Trees, more specifically the album Spain. So here is a track off that album for your listening pleasure! :)

Artist: Between the Trees
Song: We Can Try
Fav Lyric: "I know things aren't quite like what they used to be. Different faces, different places. yeah, we can try, oh yeah, we can try."

The first day of the rest of my life! (haha)

Woah, sorry about that hiatus I seem to of taken. I didn't even realize it had been that long!

Well, I have some fantastic news, I have a job! :D Upon hearing this I told everyone it was the first day of the rest of my life! This will be my first real, professional job. I am working at the library as a page. It is the entry level position but this company likes to promote from within so I hope to be with them for a very long time!

In other news, I have acclimated to my new home pretty well. I have really been enjoying my friends and still get to visit those I left behind! :)

Well, from my last post you could probably guess what album today's song choice is coming from. Yup, JT.

Artist: Justin Timberlake
Song: That Girl
Fav Lyrics: "We didn't have to run, I knew it was love from a mile away,
But I had to catch you, running through my mind all day baby."

To All My Single Ladies (and Gents)

Hello! I know I missed music monday and tune-age tuesday so this is just a regular post that happens to include music ;) and it will also address the title in a little bit, bear with me.

So I ordered a cd from Amazon on April 7th and have been anxiously awaiting it ever since. The delivery estimate kept telling me it would be here on the 29th basically 3 weeks after ordering it! I wasn't very excited about that but I kept hoping it would be early. So it finally arrived today! And guess what cd it is? JT 20/20 Experience! Don't judge. That's what this blog is for, posting my feelings free of judgments :)

I also fell in love with the song from the "Ready For Love" commercials. I looked it up on youtube and now I have to share it with the world! That is what I dedicate to all my single ladies and gents. There isn't exactly an abundance of lyrics in the song but what is there is spot on.

Artist: Amy Stroup
Song: Hold Onto Hope Love
Fav Lyric: Hold onto hope, love
I've searched high and low for you
For you
Each day gets closer
So hold on stronger to me
And you

I really like this song because it is about hope. There seems to be so much negativity in this world, especially lately. So hold onto hope. Whether it is hope in finding love or hope in anything. We could all use a little more hope in our lives. :)

So I send this to all of you, whether in a relationship or not, fans of JT or not, music lover or not, keep your head up and know that you are loved <3
