BROTHERLY LOVE

http://superlative1.wordpress.com/2007/12/15/the-beauty-of-a-broken-heart/

            When I was younger, my neighbor and I loved playing pranks on my brother to get back at him for making me sad. So one day, during summer, we raided his room and looked around for embarrassing stuff. We found the perfect thing ever! It was a Dixie Chicks CD he had hidden in his dresser. I came up with the plan to open his window and play the songs as loud as a sonic boom so that everyone on the street would hear the girly (guy perspective) songs that were playing out of his room. So my neighbor agreed and we set up the speakers, popped in the CD, and watched everyone start laughing…except one.

            He raged into the house and started yelling and cursing at me as if he knew it was all my fault. What made his anger increase was that we were so scared at that point that we shut his door so he couldn’t get in. We would’ve turned off the music but we were too far away from the radio. He just kept yelling “I hate you! You’re such a b****! Get out of my room! Turn that off!”

            After that I knew what the word “revenge” meant. I didn’t like that word back then, and I still don’t like it now. My brother doesn’t understand that I love him to death and that I only do these things because it always used to make us closer. Now that he’s a senior in high school, I won’t be able to see him as much. Whenever he has friends over I always come out of my room so that he gets annoyed and actually talks to me. Even if it’s just him yelling, I don’t care, because all I want is just to stop being ignored by him.

            I wrote a letter that I was going to give him on his graduation day, but I guess if he really cared about what I wanted to say to him, then he could just look on here. This is what I wrote (warning: it sounds cheesy):

Dear brother,

            I miss you. The way you laughed at all my jokes. The way you knew how to comfort me through every bump in the road. The way you always stood up for me even when I knew I was wrong. I know I’ve said things towards you, and I know you try your hardest to make things right. I may not know what you’ve been through, or how hard it is for you to stay strong in front of our parents and I, but I do know that you’re leaving soon and that I will miss you. Before you leave, I want you to know that I love you very much. Don’t ever think differently.

Sincerely,

Your little sis

OUR SONG



http://free-extras.com/images/best_friends_forever_quote-13534.htm



            In 5^th grade, I remember I hung out with a girl who intrigued me. We started talking and hanging out. I invited her to my birthday party and she was the only one of my “friends” that showed up. Throughout the school year there were great moments, but finding out that we had a common interest was the best. We both loved the song “Just the Girl” (This song is about a guy who thinks this girl is perfect no matter how many defects she has). Everyday we sang it and annoyed everyone around us. I thought it was funny how I knew all the lyrics of the song but always mixed them up. Either way we both started laughing about the mistakes.

            After 5^th grade ended, and I changed schools, I always thought of going back and seeing if she was still going there. I never had the guts to check. Recently, I ran into her again. At first I didn’t recognize her but then with a second glance, I sprang up with joy and hugged her to death once I realized “oh my gosh it’s her!” A few months later, we would hear “Just the Girl” and we cracked up, laughed and started singing along.

            Now, I pray everyday that we are still friends. I hope that nothing can put her down so I don’t have to even think of the day when she separates herself from all of her friends that care so much about her. If that day ever came I would cry every night hoping that she would come back to us. I would always listen to “Just the Girl” and tell her about all the fun times we used to have and all the fun times we still could have.

            A song could potentially save a life in some cases. Just by hearing a glimpse of it would keep the heart warm and pumping. Listen to your favorite music to cheer you up and always know that someone loves you.

COUNTRY MUSIC SENSATION OR POSER

found on http://www.theinsider.com/news/2777610_Carrie_Underwood_s_Album_Cover

I have known Carrie Underwood and her music since she was on American Idol. She is a very talented young artist and she’s brought a different look towards country music for me.

She has a strong edge in her voice that she uses in each song to show what emotion was suppose to be conveyed. For example, “Undo It”. In this song she is talking about how she wishes she could take back her whole relationship with a jerk-ish guy. I think her anger put into this song has made it sound more interesting because if u heard the song in a soft, hushed tone it wouldn’t be as appealing to me. I personally like this song after a heart break. Another song of hers that I like would be “Temporary Home”. This is where she talks about an old house that she lived in, in the past, and it brings back memories that she honored. Well I don’t know what its meaning is for sure, but that is what I get from it. I admire Carrie because she is an amazing writer and she always has everyone wanting to buy her cd after a release on the radio or on YouTube.

Her songs always inspire me to do things I never thought I would. I know it may sound lame but when I hear “Undo It” or “Before He Cheats” it makes me want to jump on a stage and sing my guts out! I love the adrenaline rush I get when I’m  on stage yet, I don’t understand why I haven’t sang for talent at my school. Maybe I will get the guts some day to sing one of her songs. If u have  any ideas on what song I could do, then please feel free to suggest one for me
