Dreams don't turn to Dust.

I believe that everyone should have that one famous role model. Well, mine is Adam Young. For those who don't know, he is the singer in Owl City. He is a very talented Christian and that is one reason I look up to him. He is strong in his faith and writes his songs about it. Even in some songs he entwines something related to praising God without most people realizing it. I believe he is a great artist and a great person. Other than stating why he is my role model, many people would not guess that he is also really funny! On owlcitygalaxy.com, he states 10 ways to tell you drink way too much coffee. I find this little blurb appropriate because many people today drink "way too much coffee." Although these reasons may not be complete accurate they are very funny!

  1. You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.
  2. The only time you’re standing still is during an earthquake.
  3. You take photos of yourself from ten feet away without using your camera’s auto-timer.
  4. Your eyes stay open when you sneeze.
  5. You don’t even wait for the water to boil anymore.
  6. You’re elected "Employee of the Month" at Starbucks and you don’t even work there.
  7. You spend every vacation visiting "Maxwell House."
  8. Your cats are named "Cream" and "Sugar."
  9. You can’t even remember your second cup.
  10. You can jump-start your car without cables.

Be sure to listen to Owl City's new album "All Things Bright and Beautiful"! It's their best album in my opinion! :D

Trying something new.

This morning i woke up and decided I was going to write a song. After an hour of googling around for inspiration I came up with one on my own. I'm pretty sure I just made up the word "googling" but that's ok. I like what I like so far but feel like it needs improvement but am not sure where. I'm not really sure how I want style I want to have this so any suggestions in general are welcome. Thanks!



Maybe I can Fly

We swing around the corner
Grasping the edge of the road
The wind rushes through my hair as I close my eyes
I lean to the left and pine goes rushin by

And I think “hold on” we’re going for a ride
I feel like im flying but I havent left the ground
A car drives by and I think
Maybe I can fly!

Maybe I can fly
Fly up to cloud nine
Maybe I can fly
Up and over the sky

Suddenly I'm off skidding across the lake like a water spider
The water grazes past my legs but its about to happen
I go for the jump and think if I was only higher

Maybe I can fly
Fly up to cloud nine
Maybe I can fly
Up and over the sky

Singin maybe maybe I can fly
Fly up to cloud nine
Maybe I can fly
Up and over the sky
Baby I can fly!
