I stopped by Borders today to see if there were any super deals. There weren't many. But I did find a decent price on couple of cook books that I am excited to try out. I also encountered a book titled I Love Him. He Loves Her. My first thought was, "I was never notified that there was a biography written about me." I almost got it, but then I thought, "Why?" I mean, seriously. I've lived that book so many dang times and am currently working on it once more. What can I say? I have an absolutely incredible knack for picking them. Guys who want to fall head over heels need only assure that I fall for them first. They will then immediately find somebody else that they feel a fervent desire to go after for reasons even they don't fully understand. It's a gift, really. Possibly a super-power. I need to contact someone about a super-hero costume.
I was reminded today of part of the reason that I am chasing down this goal. I must confess that it is part vanity. My friend finally posted some pictures that have been held captive in her camera since November. Among those pictures was this little gem:

| "Oh, yay! It's a birthday party! I just love bir... Oh. My. Gosh. What is that in the background?! Kill it with fire!!!!!!!" |
Indeed, friends. That may be the most unflattering picture ever taken of me. Ever. While initially appalled, I soon switched to proud. I am now proud because I wore that green sweater just a few days ago. It is now baggy on me. I also know that the dreaded double chin is certainly in the process of shrinking. That is why I am posting that awful picture on the largest possible setting my blog offers. As proud as I am of the changes I have made from when this picture was taken to now, I know that the change will only become increasingly obvious from here. Although I am joking about this, as I look at this picture, there is a stab in my chest and my eyes are stinging and threatening tears enough that I have to look away. I don't really have the words ready to describe my feelings right now and the reasons behind them. As I have said before, this whole experience is an incredibly emotional one for me. With all that I air out on this blog, there are many intensely personal struggles that I am going through on my own. Someday I may feel comfortable enough to share them.
On a much different and lighter note, I want to share one of my favorite musical discoveries of the past couple years. There is a band (Well, mainly one guy and then his buddies here and there) called Boyce Avenue that have become famous by covering popular songs on YouTube. I love them because they take songs that I don't really like and turn them into songs that I love. Here are some of my favorites:
They've got quite a few of them, so if you like what you've heard, look them up!
