Flying Yogurt and Lots of Drama

"Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart. If we could just remember this, I think there would be a lot more compassion and tolerance in the world"~Postsecrets~

This quote was on a friend's facebook page, and it really struck a chord with me, because I think it's true. If we realized this, all the people we thought were mean, or lazy, or apathetic, would suddenly have a reason for it, and we would empathize with them. Everyone has problems, but for some reason most people for get about everyone else's problems. Or, they notice the problems that can be seen, and forget the hidden problems.

Sometimes those who are doing nothing are going through a struggle you could not endure.

There is so much good music coming out this summer! I need a job just to keep up with all the music I want.

Here are the three things I am keeping my eye on:

1-Mandy's Moore's Wild Hope. At first I didn't think I would like it, since it sounds a bit folksy, and I like upbeat music. However, she was in Oklahoma City this week, and she did a live radio program that I listened to, and I want the whole cd. Really. And by the way, she is just as good live as she is on recording. How many artists do that?

2-Kelly Clarkson, whenever or whatever, I'm buying it. While I don't think I'll like the style of this new CD as much as Breakaway, it's Kelly. I have to buy it. Supposedly coming out this summer, I will pounce on it the week it hits the stores.

3-Maroon 5. At first their new single, Makes me Wonder, was just okay, but I've been listening to it since then, and it is slowly growing on me (not to mention it's been on almost every talk show in existance), and now I love it.

I love my family. That's all I'm going to say.
