love is all you need.

i think this man's way of thinking was brilliant. i really admire all that he was, and all of the noble attributes he gave during his lifetime.
i wanted to share some quotes i found that i really liked...



“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”

“You are all geniuses, and you are all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace, think peace, live peace, and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.”

“Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.”

“My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."

"When real music comes to me- the music of the spheres- the music that surpasses understanding, that has nothing to do with me because i'm just the channel. The only joy for me is for it to be given to me, and to transcribe it like a medium...those moments are what i live for."

-John Lennon

making a difference.

something has been laid on my heart, recently. i've really been looking around for a charity of some sort to offer my support to in order to better someone's life, and i have found such an organization. World Vision is a christian foundation which aids in building funds to help prevent AIDS in villages, build awareness about the disease, and also gives food, clothing, education, etc. to children who are less fortunate. the child i am sponsering, Edson, is seven years old and from Uganda. he is not yet in school, but enjoys drawing and ball games. he is in satisfactory health, and his chores at home include caring for animals. soon, i will be recieving pictures and such about Edson in the mail, and we'll be able to communicate through letters. i am so excited about this, and i believe that everyone should be involved in something like this. just think what the world would be if EVERYONE could give whatever they had to someone less fortunate.

what a dream.

there's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold.

so, since robbie wasn't here for christmas this year, we decided to wait until he was home to exchange presents and such. anyway, he got me a GUITAR! it's pretty. and black. i haven't named it yet though [kaity, help] which is pretty unlike me. the creative juices just aren't flowing.

ANYWAY.

todd and robbie taught me a few chords. G, C, D and E.
that's all i know so far.
so basically i know how to play 3 songs...all of which only use G and C.
haha.
but i'm learning to read guitar tabs[which is HIGHLY confusing to me] and pick up on a few more songs.
it is my mission to learn Stairway to Heaven.
even if it kills me.
