I Wish You Were Here

If their is one artist who can always turn my day around is LIGHTS she is amazing, her music just makes you feel better about yourself. Her song Face Up speaks to me in so many ways, her whole album THE LISTENING is worth every penny.

So today I worked another long shift, not much happened, no crazy customers it was a pretty chill day. Which for me isn't good because I tend to think a lot when I'm not busy. Lately I've been thinking a lot about my brother, he passed away when I was 13. I can't even begin to explain how hurt and lost I was. He was the most amazing person ever, you spent 2 minutes with him and he had you laughing and smiling. Before he passed away we had gotten into a big fight, and I told him I hated him. That still haunts me to this day, because that same day he went missing. We looked everywhere for him for days just searching and trying to find any kind of sign that he was ok. At the end of the week I had a football game at the high school where we marched, as I was on the field I got the worst feeling in the world my stomach turned into knots and I just knew something was wrong. After the game we went home, my brother-in-law picked me and just the look on his face I knew they found him. When I opened the door I heard my mom and sister crying, I had this small hope that he would be in there hugging them, but they looked at me and I knew that he wasn't coming back. Everything I knew went out the window, I broke down to the extreme, I cried so much that I can't remember his service or wake. That was the hardest time in my life, but I grew from it to become who I am today. I know that my brother is proud of me and everything I have done with my life. On September its going to be 7yrs since he passed, but I love him more than anything and miss him. I would give up so much to just have him back.

Color My World

Well today's song was Silhouettes by Swimming With Dolphins, the song pretty much is about a past lover and trying to get over them, although the song has a very bouncy beat the lyrics are sad.

Today I worked pretty much all day, played games on my phone because we had no customers, yet everyday we do get those couple of crazies that walk in. This girl walks in and starts shouting at my co-worker about her grandparents bill being really high...turns out grandma was texting (maybe sexting grandpa? lol) but I don't think either customer understood that. He tried to explain it as best as possible but they didn't comprehend they just wanted something to be done about it thing is bill was already posted, there was nothing we can change. I just don't understand why people don't read fine print, or make sure to know what they pay for first. It's pretty much I want I want I want. I know I do my research on something I'm going to invest in before I go all gun ho about it. My question is has anyone ever had an issue like this happen? and what was the final outcome? Customer is coming back on Tuesday which I work so I want to be prepared to handle this.

But onto the fun portion of my day :) I got together with some old friends from High School after work, we chalked up our local park like the good old times. It was fun laughing and not worrying about everything. Sorta takes me back to last summer when we thought it was cool to ghost hunt. One day during the summer we went back to my old house in Galveston which survived the 1900th Storm, I told them of a true story where one night my mom told me to call my brother down for dinner and I heard some really big footsteps walking about upstairs I know my brother wasn't upstairs because he called my mom after what I heard. So that became our place of adventure. Turns out my old house caught fire during the last hurricane, but we investigated anyways, we were so scared that something was going to get us. We got upstairs searched all the rooms looking for clues we freaked out when we heard a big bang come from one of the rooms. I swear we all bolted out the house screaming, me and my friends are the worst ghost hunters ever. I love my friends though, we plan to research more haunted locations and give it a go this summer, I can't wait!
