This song came up on my mp3 player on my way to school this morning. It's called "Everyday" by Toby Lightman, and it got me thinking about relationships with others, whether they're family, friends, classmates, coworkers, etc. I love the message it conveys: All that matters is staying true through and through to yourself. The words are comforting, and they help keep me going whenever I find myself in a bind.
>>Here's the excerpt from the lyrics of "Everyday" by Toby Lightman --
"Everyday is a struggle between what I wanna say
And what I should keep to myself
And the words that manage to leave my lips
Don't hurt me, but they hurt everyone else
And I find myself in need of a pause
I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me
[Chorus:]
But I'll see better when the smoke clears
When the smoke clears inside my head
And I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said
And all that remains me and who I am at the end of the day
And this happens everyday"
On a separate note, I'm pretty stoked about the new shows on t.v. premiering this fall. Last week, I just saw a 2-hour special of one of my favorite shows, "Bones." It's so fascinating how in order to solve a case, all of the characters - whether they're a cop, FBI agent, psychologist, or forensic scientist - have to put their heads together and find all the missing pieces.
I hardly ever watched t.v. last year, but shows like "90210" and "Privileged" on the CW seem promising, as well as "Samurai Girl" on ABC Family. Speaking of which, the show "Samurai Girl" compelled me to finally read the book series by Carrie Asai. I heard the novels are really hard to put down and draw readers immediatey into the story. Hopefully the show holds up to this standard and stays true to the books. I'll be reading and comparing the literature to the t.v. show (yet another one of my nerdy habits, hehe).
It annoys me when a novel or series gets turned into a movie, and the film pales in comparison to the literary glories of the original book or series. With this in mind, I hope the upcoming movie "Twilight" (coming out on December 12th!) lives up to the first of Stephenie Meyer's novels.
Oh, I understand your fears perfectly! Watching films based on books usually upsets me because EVERYTHING is different from what I imagined... but have you seen the trailers? Twilight, the film does actually sound promising ;)
