Brrr It Snowed again!

today has been a busy day. I was loudly awoken at 8:30 by my dad saying I had to get up. Why? Well it BARELY snowed and everything was delayed 2 hours. This meant that I would have to take Ian to class. It ended up that I didn't have to and I was woken up for nothing.

Since I was "up" my mom decided that we were going to make today the day that we start unpacking my things. Well the first step was to get my water bed out of my room. This sounds easier than it really is. We had to drain the thing with a hose that was outside. This hose was frozen with ice inside of it. So I had to go down three floors to hook up the hose and flush out the ice chunks. (I'm in flip flops shorts and a hoodie while it's 32 degrees outside with a windchill of 5 to 10 degrees colder). Well the hose starts spraying me, it was great.

We got the bed out and then got my old comfy bed set up....YAY!!!! Then it was the epic battles of battles. I have my organized mess where my mom has her organized stuff organized. She wanted everything cleaned and organized, I however was okay with the bed just being up. We had our little battle of organization, she in the end won...dang. I did however find a church that I think I'll enjoy. I'm going to check it out on Sunday, it might be the giant thing that I've been missing down here.

But today I finally listened to the new Fray album. However I was not a fan of them live a few years back I am a fan of this album. I'm really digging this song called Happiness. But almost all the songs seem to relate to some sort of emotion I'm feeling with in my life. Here are the lyrics to happiness....OH tomorrow the discussion of stuck up bands and how they work or don't work from a fan's perspective.

Happiness was just outside my window
I thought it’d crash blowing eighty miles an hour
But happiness is a little more like knocking
On your door, you just let it in

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone, not for good but for now
And gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself that’s enough for now
But happiness has a violent roar

Happiness it's like the old man told me
Look for it and you'll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day you'll wake up and she'll be home
