Lyrics of the week...

Kelsey by Metro Station

So take one word you said
You put it in your bed
You rest your tiny head on your pillow
You wonder where you're goin' next
You got your head pushed on my chest
And now you're hopin' that someone lets you in
Well I'm sure I'll let you in
You know I'll let you in
Oh, Kelsey
You...

So don't let anyone scare you
You know that I'll protect you, always
Now through the thick and thin
Until the end
You better watch it
You know you don't cross it because
I'm always here for you
and I'll be here for you
(I know, I know, I know)
I know how it feels believe me
I've been there and
(I know, I know, I know)
I know what it feels like
Tell me Kelsey

And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey
And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey
For you darlin'

Now, it's going to get harder
And it's going to burn brighter
And it's going to feel tougher each and every day
So let me say that I love you
You're all that I've ever wanted
All that I've ever dreamed of to come
And yes you did come
I want you so bad
Can you feel it too?
you know I'm so, I'm so in love you
I want you, so much
I need you, so much
I need your, I need your, your touch

And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey

And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey

And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey

And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, oh Kelsey

A Little Christmas pondering...

So as I was at work today, I began thinking about tradition. My thinking started initially with me thinking about the fact that Christmas Eve is the busiest day of the year at Portillo's, a fast food restaurant (as I'm sure you all know). I mean, I get that we have good food that people may want for their Christmas feast but... isn't that what Winter Break is for? Have people gotten to such a point that they don't even have time to prepare their own food? I mean, whenever I think "Christmas Eve" I see all those stereotypical scenes with red sweaters, and a table laid out with food, but in our day and age people are actually going to a fast-food restaurant for what is, for most good Christians, the holiest day of the year? Where did society go wrong when we sacrificed tradition for convenience? I don't know, I just think it's weird, I mean, what else are people doing over winter break so that they can't even make their own food? Are we just that lazy? Portillo's had over 300 catering orders, that means at least 300 families didn't want to make their own food. People talk about putting the "Christ" back in "Christmas" but why can't we put the tradition back either? (Granted, there is no word that even remotely resembles tradition but still...) I get that there may be some families that don't have the money to make such traditions or have to work too many jobs, or stuff of that sort, but I have made this vow to myself: When I have kids, I will set up as many traditions as possible for them. I want to give them something to look forward to for the holidays, and not just presents, I want there to be sentimental value behind it and I assure you readers that the tradition will not be going to a fast food restaurant, as I heard one patron talking about today. I mean, one of my traditions when I was a kid was to watch "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" with my brother (the cartoon one) but he stopped doing that, but I still watch, and I don't think I could make it through X-Mas without watching it. I mean, tradition is what gives holiday meaning, so we should all do our part and help make them. Agreed?

A Short one

I promised like 5 millenia ago I would post, so here it is.
Life has been good, some ups, some downs. I've been working, a lot, but as of recently, a lot less. This is thanks to the fact that they've cut my hours. From 22 to 13, to be precise. Yeah, pretty cool, right? Anyways, it's the day of Christmas Eve and I have to wake up for work in 6.5 hours but I'm a retard and am updating my blog instead. But I guess that's why you love me right? :-D Supposedly tomorrow is the busiest day of the year for Portillos, and I'd believe them judging by the fact that we already have 300 catering orders. Yes. You read that right. 300. One of them had a total of over 3000, and I'm certain at least 50% of them have a total of 1000 or higher. I'm literally scared to go to work. That's not a good feeling. I just hope I can keep up with the customers ordering haha, even though all I do is hand out orders. Tomorrow is my chance to shine though! I'ma impress my managers so crazy they won't know what hit them. I hope. Haha, in other news, I have become a huge fan of Perez Hilton, and he is now one of my idols, his sincerity and courage in the face of adversity is so admirable. What I really wanted to bring up though was the fact that Mike, Hunter, and I took pictures of us we hope Perez will put on his site. I'll put the pictures up tomorrow because I'm about to fall asleep, soooo I'm going to go change the laundry then PASS OUT!! Woo! At least I got an update in! Many, many more to come. Remember, Ryan loves you :)
