"Still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise." |
((The Music)) This is a song that will nicely kick your own ass. It reminds the listener that there are no real excuses not to do things. Fear is not an option. The power to heal the wrongs that have taken place before by others lies within us all to heal. What I appreciate about India.Arie. is that she gives her honest truth. There is no side-stepping around the areas that people don't want to listen to. While not everyone might like it, you can appreciate the sentiment. Good music. ((The Life)) Last night was messed up. Literally I got about two hours of sleep in between about a five hour period. I kept waking up to birds, to bad dreams, to pain. It was a major bitch. This has completely messed up my energy of the day. I really, really don't want to head to campus today. I have no want to flex and stretch and crunch numbers and chill for a couple of hours between classes. I don't want to deal with the annoying people talking loud on their phones and dudes who wear a little too much cologne. I don't want to haul my crap around and change out of clothes. I don't want to chill out on the curb and inhale to smoke from my fellow student addicts. Dear God, I just want to go back to bed and sleep the day away. I won't though, and to achieve my freakin' goal, I can't. I missed classes last week because of poor June. I wouldn't change that decision, but I have to catch up. Feeling like roadkill doesn't constitute missing another day. Damn it. This is going to be a lllllloooooonnnnnnngggggg day. |
