I've been getting used to...
getting really close to certain people and having to say goodbye or let go of them. It’s not something I like getting accustomed to, but it’s become just that. justt a random thought =P

“No one is illegal. The people you call illegal are human beings, whose only crime was being born on the wrong side of a border: A border that was created as a result of an unjust war. When they become desperate, and unable to support their families, they will do what any of you would do, which is look for opportunity elsewhere. Ask yourself, if you were living in a nation where there was very little opportunity, and you knew that by going to the country right next door you might make your life and the lives of your children better, wouldn’t you do it? Wouldn’t any good parent do that? To say no is to say that people should suffer because of circumstances that are beyond their control. Is that really what you want your country to be about?”

Play
would you ever consider teaching people how to play the guitar?
i’ve considered it A LOT of times, but since I never really learned the proper way to play guitar haha i think me teaching it to someone else would be a disaster =P
random thinking!!
As much as say I’m afraid of it, I like being pushed into a situation where I don’t know anyone at all, somewhere I’m not familiar with whatsoever. Kinda really shows you what kind of person you are.
I’m going to a community college not a university, but since pretty much all my close/best friends are going to universities in a few weeks, it’s going to be a completely different environment for me.
Change is such a scary thought for me, but I don’t know. At the same time I’m really looking forward to all the different things I’m gonna be able to do without being surrounded by people who I’ve been with for years now.
Goodmorning!
Well its 1pm but i just woke up so to me it’s morning haha

So I’ve already shared this song that I started recording as one of the songs I will most definitely want to put in my EP! I honestly just really like this song for some reason haha. It’s a rough demo because I’ve been having a really hard time recording stuff since I dont have fancy equipment at my house
So yeah I hope for some of you who haven’t heard this song yet, i hope you like this! and if you’ve already heard it! I hope you still like it or like it better?
i hope for who anyone comes across this shares it with people! I really want people to hear this one =P

Verse 1
Can we please continue to conversate?
Maybe go on a few more of these “friend dates”?
Cause finding out how much we can relate is blowing my heart away
And maybe someday we can upgrade
Possibly go on a real date?
We can go out to eat, take a walk outside, we’ll talk for a while, do anything to make you smile
And maybe you can see what I see that this could be worth our while
Verse 2
Are you starting to gain a little interest?
If not, it’s cool waiting for you that’s time I can invest
As long as you never forget me, I will wait for you so patiently
But have I ever crossed your mind?
One time, two times, three times, anytime?
Cause you’ve probably crossed my mind a million times in the past couple of these lines
I swear if you let this continue to grow I’ll continue to show
That to me everything you do is gold
Like the sunsets back in the west they could never compare to
The things that you do
Chorus
San Diego you are so beautiful
San Diego you make me smile
You shine so bright every single time I pass by
So lucky to have our own San Diego on the east side
Bridge
And this time I won’t rush time
Cause I am doing more than fine
Spending just a little time
You and I have never together sounded so good in sentence before
Are any of these lines working at all?
First post thing?
Alright, so it’s like 3:15 in the morning right now and I couldn’t sleep so I started writing some songs and all that stuff. I was thinking randomly of tumblr and what I would ever put up on this thing, but I think I’ve been sticking to structure way too much lately. So I’m just gonna post up random things on here, whether it be youtube videos, lyrics to songs i’m writing, just things that I write in general because I do write a lot, pictures, blah blah and whatever I feel like putting up on here. Uhm and yup I’m not really expecting a huge following from this at all, but I think it is nice to have a place where you can kinda just put down whatever the hell you want to and not feel weird about it.
so yup here we go, hopefully I actually do end up using tumblr and keep up with it haha
goodnight.
