Gandhi
I keep forgetting to stay on top of things. To prioritize my day and get everything done I need to. To do my homework, be nice to my mom, work out, eat good, and practice developing my talents. Maybe if I would of practiced more i wouldn't be so disappointed now.. I know I wouldn't be. I should of gone pro. I should of dedicated myself completely to the one thing I love the most. I don't have much natural talent in it at all. But I don't think that matters. I think in life if a person completely dedicates there life to something and does everything possible to achieve a certain goal, they can do it. What you can and can't do is all mental. If you think confidence, you will execute confidence and you can and will accomplish anything you want to. When will we own ourselves completely? When we have this confidence. When we trust and believe in ourselves enough to go after exactly what we want. When we don't let anyone tell us no, nor are we afraid to tell anyone else no or stick up for what we believe in. We then have found ourselves and own ourselves completely. I wish I would have found this confidence a long time ago, gone pro, and gone 100% after my dreams. I have been let down hugely recently, and realized that I have not been reaching my full potential. But this doesn't end tonight. Because of this let down, I have learned and decided EXACTLY what i want and WILL gain the confidence to go after it and achieve it. Then, I will be pro. And I will own myself completely.

Blurbs
White Houses (Vanessa Carlton)
Vanessa, Katie, Anna, Carl, and Tanner are best friends. They're outsiders to the popular crowd, nobodies. It's summertime and they're sitting around in Carl's white tree house with nothing to do. None of them have ever kissed and they're all talking about what it would be like. They decide to play a little game. Vanessa is taken advantage of. It ruins her forever.
Letter To Me (Brad Paisley)
Brad is old and looking back on his life regretting the silly decisions he made when he was a teen. All the drinking and partying he did trying to avoid what he thought was such a miserable life. He wishes he could of seen into the future to what a great life he could have and how great he would turn out to be. Tell himself how little things like girlfriends, troubles with parents and friends actually mattered. I think we all wish we could write letters to ourselves at points in our lives where we made mistakes i order to stop ourselves from making the wrong ones. This song is all about looking back.
What Can I Say (Carrie Underwood)
Carrie and Thomas were so in love. They started out best friends then fell for each other and dated for 7 months. They had an easy breakup and they both pretended to be fine. But she wasn't, not at all. And because of this she didn't know how to act around him. She wanted so badly to be normal and call him but things had just reached such an awkward point in their relationship, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She continues on missing him, not knowing what to do or what to say.
Changed Man (Chris Brown)
Chris was a bad boy. He had low self esteem and because he hung out with the wrong crowd was constantly giving in to peer pressure. One day he met Katie.. and everything changed. He fell in love for the first time. Katie saw the good in Chris, and didn't know much or the seriousness of his past. They were together, but Chris continued to hang out with his friends. Behind Katie's back Chris made the same stupid mistakes, until one day Katie caught him and broke up with him. It was so hard on both of them and Chris promised that if he could have another chance he would do any and everything to change so that he could be good enough to deserve her again.
I'll Walk (Bucky Covington)
This song is a sad story of acting out of anger, and looking back realizing how unimportant it was and regretting how mad you got. Bucky and Austin were dating and had plans to be married right after high school. The night of their senior prom they had a huge fight on the way home, Bucky pulled over and Austin jumped out saying she'd walk home. On her walk home she was hit by a car! Hearing the news Bucky felt terrible and when he got to the hospital and realized she was paralyzed he asked her to marry him. And he did. Even though she now had that problem he loved her enough to want to help her through that for the rest of both of their lives. However Bucky will always look back wishing he could of stopped their fighting and apologized the night of prom and Austin would still have her legs.

Songs with Stories
Song Title: Love Me, Collin Raye
Http://www.lyrics007.com/Collin%20Raye%20Lyrics/Love%20Me%20Lyrics.html
Characters: Grandson, Grandpa, and Grandma who is dying
Setting: In the doorway of the church where the boy and his grandpa went to pray, as his grandma was about to pass away. Grandpa pulled out a letter that his wife wrote him a long time ago
Plot: The letter refers to the story of their love. Growing up the boys grandparents were so in love, but her parents did not approve. They wanted to be together so badly, so they made a plan to run away together and get married. The letter was a note that Grandma left on a tree where they were supposed to meet. It said to wait for her and she'd find a way to get there no matter what and that she loved him. We don't know the rest of the story of how they actually did get married, but you know in the song that they definitely got married because their grandson is singing the song.
Conflict: The conflict in the story of these two love birds is the fact that her parents didn't like him and wouldn't let them be together.
Theme: True love can over come any obstacle. You can tell in this song how hard it was to be together, but they did it. You can also see how much Grandpa loves his wife with the fact that he still has her letter saved.
Song Title: Haunted, Taylor Swift
Http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/taylor-swift-lyrics/haunted-lyrics.html
Characters: A girl in love with her ex boyfriend, the ex boyfriend that doesn't care anymore, the new boyfriend who loves the girl, but isn't enough for her.
Setting: This song doesn't really set up a specific place. I picture a girl crying alone in her room, thinking about sending this boy that she misses so much. Looking through old pictures, reading old texts and notes, and just wondering what possibly happened to them.
Plot: The two people, boy and the girl, were best best friends. One day they started having feelings, and the boy kissed the girl. They had such a long past that every move they made was a big risk. Then one day the boy decided he didn't want a relationship or anything but friends anymore. They tried, but the "fragile line" was broken and things couldn't go back to normal. The girl who didn't think she loved this boy so much, finally realized it when she couldn't have him anymore. Every boy she then tried to date, just couldn't fill the shoes. She got all kinds of crazy ideas in her head that something more was there, and she waited around for him to want her back, but he never did.
Conflict: Two best friends fell in love, and then didn't know how to go back to just friends, because there was still strong feelings on one side.
Theme: When you end any kind of relationship, there can't be friendship that follows. This is just because there is always one person that is hurt. And even if they fake it, one side is always still sad with feelings.
