How come I never get to witness anything like this? oh yeah...

Gorgeous wedding gown: Check.
Stroller with dyed poodle: Check.
Gold slippers: Check.
Dyed beard: Check.
Parrot on head: Check.

You would never see anything like this in Provo.

Yet another reason why

I need to move.

You Gotta' be!

Songs always have a way of bringing back memories that you haven't thought of forever, or even remember all that well, but the minute you hear the song its like your right back in that moment. Sometimes that really sucks. Like a love song that makes you remember all of the good, and positively none of the bad things about a past relationship. Or another song that you listened to so many times during a particular phase in your life, like for example, I can't listen to Fall out Boy or Cartel or the Academy is or any other of our gangster hip hop music, without being taken back to Jr. year of High School driving around Bakersfield with Reagan. Or Lollipop by Lil Wayne without remembering my first summer out of the house living with Reagan in Provo. Or Just got started lovin you, which always reminds me of my first boyfriend and hanging out with him every night!

Music is so amazing! This particular song takes me right back to being 7 years old and going to Rio Bravo with my best friend Mika and our moms. I guess its pretty sentimental to me cause it's one of my first real memories I have of music. And it takes me back to such a simple times in my life where I didn't have anything to worry about but whether or not me and Mika were going to get in a fight that day or not, and if we did get in a fight how I could keep her from biting me! I wish I could go back and talk to 7 year old me. And tell her to stay young and naive and innocent as long as possible. Stay away from boys and listen to everything my mom tells me. And tell her not to be afraid of the pool vacuum or monsters roaming the streets, to practice the piano more, and beg mom to let me take gymnastics. Graduate early, it's the best thing you will ever do. Finish BC asap and buy a cooler freaking car, with AC! Don't quit soccer, play volleyball as much as possible, be nicer to Jenna, NEVER get a perm and stay away from any guy named...well quite a few names. haha. anyway this is a good song. It makes me feel like a little girl again and honestly gives me a reason to try and conquer trials in my life, if for no other reason than that I know 7 year old me would want me to.


Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause your tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted don't be 'shamed to cry

You gotta be, you gotta be bad
You gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My, oh, my
he-eh-y

You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know love will save the day

Time asks no questions it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning can't stop it if you tried to
The best part is danger staring you in the face


Remember, listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause your tears
Go ahead release your fears
My, oh, my
He-ey-y

You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know love will save the day
