What was the first music album you ever bought or owned? Do you still listen to it or have you moved on?

 the first album I ever owned was Hanson's Middle of Nowhere! I loved it but then kind of fell away from them for quite a few years.  Sadly, I sold it on a garage sale.  But don't worry, got another copy!  It has to be an essential album of my collection!  I can't even believe I would sell that on a garage sale! But i did keep Snowed In and Tulsa, Tokyo, and The Middle of Nowhere! (I don't really get why i didn't sell those too, but i'm not complaining, its just kind of funny!) 

long time no ....

so its been a while since i wrote something on here. so i will let my thoughts out about everything i am feeling/worrying:

1.  I just found out that I spent more money than I had on my debit card. woops. and i have to tell me parents. they're usually pretty cool about that kinda thing but, we'll see...

2. I am really psyched for the Milwaukee Hanson show! i just really wish i didn't have my parents to tend to, worry about me, and hinder my fun because I feel like I'm keeping them waiting.  If only i was about 2 years older!  I can't wait because probably next tour/album I will be out of the house and not have to deal with their over-protectiveness!  I can't even tell you how much I long for that day!

3. I have like no money(obviously, according to #1^).  I just applied at Subway and really hope I get the job!  My gas tank is pretty close to empty and I have places to go, man!  And because theres nothing to do in this amazing place known as Winona, i have to sit home and do nothing. its a blast.  I really need a job!

4. School supplies are now in stores- that makes me sick!

5. The band Everbody Else is one of the greatest bands i have recently discovered!  Check them out!  They are Zac Hanson approved! So they have to be good! :)

 
6. So, I got 2 fish last night.  They are goldfish but they are like the bigger kind, not real big but just a little bigger than the regular size. Anyway, they survived in my house for less than 24 hours! yes, i got them from Wal-Mart, what can you expect? but i at least hoped for a couple days.  But they have a 90 day guarantee, so you can get new ones or your money back.  but the thing that sicks me out is that you have to bring the dead fish back into Wal-Mart to prove that they actually  died and you're not just trying to get free fish out of it! :) WOW!  I need the money but I'm not sure if I'm that desperate!

Watch Me Bleed by Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson:

For some, music is not just a pastime,
It’s an undeniable fact of living,
A blissful slavery of mind, body and soul.
To rise above the ashes of mediocrity is rare,
Yet the gift of song is freely handed out to anyone who cares to receive it,
Instantly shattering our daily drudgery. The path to pursue more than the usual,
More than what is safe and known,
Is wrought with time-sharpened jagged blades that cut deep,
Blocking many from the road to something greater,
Beyond the stunted imagination of their peers. Within the veins of the few,
Passion fills every sinew with a sweet unquenchable purpose,
Calming the fear of those treacherous paths,
Though every slice burns and bleeds,
Still they take each cut
And wear the scars with pride to signal their choice,
That undying pursuit of greater joy within every cord.
And so they say – Watch me bleed
