We went to an Addison road concert last Thursday.  It was really cool, and we got to get a picture with the lead singer!

My song writing crisis

Anyone who has ever been in a song writing crisis can understand the predicament I am often in.  It seems that one comes up with incredible words that fit absolutely no tune on the face of this earth; or one comes up with the most splendid tune imaginable, but that will allow no words to mar it's glory.  This leaves endless piles of half-finished words and songs.  I'm usually stuck with words and no music, as opposed to music and no words.  How to conquer this terrible situation?  Perhaps a rap?  Those don't use any melodies, do they?  Okay, never mind about that.  Honestly, I have no idea how to solve this unavoidable problem.  If anyone has suggestions that might even remotely benefit me, please share!  I am in dire need of assistance!

Peer Pressure

Hey!  So I was thinking how much peer pressure influences people today.  We're constantly told what we should wear, how we should talk, who we should hang out with, and even what we should like!  Basically, we're told who we should be.  Doesn't that seem a little confusing?  Why are other people telling us who we should be?  Even ignoring the confusion it causes, this practice has pretty bad effects.  When one girl hangs out with another girl, don't they start acting the same and talking the same?  If you think that can be frustrating, imagine it hundreds of times worse!  Pretty soon, all originality is completely gone, and you are left with a bunch of "normal," boring, un-original, yet "perfect" girls.  In addition to this, most of those girls are frustrated.  No one's perfect, yet they set that standard for themselves.  They try and try to be the "perfect" girl, and, inevitably, they fail.  Peer pressure tells them that they need to set an unattainable standard, and then it defeats them when they fail to reach it.
So, the solution?  Get rid of all your friends?  Live a completely secluded life like an old hermit?  No!  If you have good friends, they're not the problem.  The problem is that girls are so scared of what others think.  Just be yourself!  If you like a shirt that is completely wack and out-of-style, wear it-and have fun wearing it!  So what if other girls think you're weird or laugh at you?  At least you're being you.
Anyway, that's my view on it. :)
