Song of The Day: Graduation (Friends Forever) by Vitamin C

So I thought Songs of The Day would be fun. I did this a long time ago and I wanted to do this every week at one point... but I don't think I ever really did.

But anyway- this song used to make me sad as a kid thinking about the future and growing up... now it kind of makes me think of the past and how I never really grew up... so that's weird.

I think the scariest part of this song is in the beginning it mentions "Always thinking about we'll be when we turn 25." I'll be 27 next month... so that's super scary to think of... I thought I'd have something to show by now... like a movie that I wrote or starred in or something... ugh. That is really scary!

Anyway... so am I friends with the people I was friends with the first time I listened to this song and it made me sad... no... I mean it's easier to catch up with people now because of Facebook... but other than liking a post every once and a while and seeing how cute some people's kids are- I don't really know these people that I thought would always be an important part of my life anymore.

I guess that's sad... but at the same time- other stuff happens when you aren't just in touch with the same people you've always known... so there is always something to do or something fun. Life changes and things change... and it's just something you need to get used to I guess.

So... yeah. I guess this song isn't as sad as it was when I first heard it. I guess I can kind of know how to handle these things now and even though I thought "what? I'm older than 25- young Shannon would be disappointed in this." She probably really wouldn't be. I'm a pretty cool badass person and I admire myself.

Bye!
-Shannon

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...
