Overdue Song Tag

On November 11, Maggie tagged me for a song post.  I've never been part of the blogging community, but I said I would do it, and I was already planning on writing a song-themed post, so this seems like a good opportunity to finally follow through.

So, here goes.

1. First song that comes to your mind

Red Bandana by Aaron Watson.  Not totally sure why.  It's a great song, though; actually the middle song in a trilogy.  Riding with Red, Red Bandana, Trying Like the Devil.  They all fade into each other, it's very cool.

2. A song that always makes you happy

Oof, that's a tough one.  There are a lot.  I think I would have to go with When it Rains by Eli Young Band.  There are other songs that make me happier when I'm already happy, but this one makes me feel understood when I'm at my most grouchy or lonesome.

3. A song you hate

Most pop songs, but we'll go with Knee Deep by the Zac Brown Band.

4. Favorite romantic song

The Hard Way by Keith Urban, but closely followed by 500 Miles by the Proclaimers, Long Trip Alone by Dierks Bentley, and Dreamed with One by Cody Jinks.

5. Favorite sad song

Most of the songs I like have some tinge of sadness in them, so this is a hard one.  But it ends up being The Wanting by Cody Jinks.

6. A song that brings back memories

Fighter by Christina Aguilera.  This was one that my siblings used to play back in the olden days when I didn't really listen to any of my own music.  I just remember it being blasted in the family room in the evening.

7. A song that you have been playing on repeat

Red River Blue by Blake Shelton.  If you listen, you can hear Miranda singing background vocals.

And!  To Learn Her by Miranda Lambert.  Man, I miss these two.

8. Favorite song by your favorite artist

Well, my favorite artist also happens to sing my favorite song, so I'll skip over that one, and tell you to listen to No Words by Cody Jinks.

9. Weirdest song you like

Yeah, it's definitely going to have to be Bushes of Love by Bad Lip Reading.

10. All time favorite song

Head Case by Cody Jinks.  Head Case is both philosophical and emotional, both grim and prayerful.  I relate a lot to Cody Jinks, and this is him at his best.


I'm a little sad that that's over, actually.  There's so much more good music out there to be heard and had.  Maybe I'll write another post later with my own questions (which I'll then answer).

Also, I didn't put the year up there.  You might have assumed the November I was talking about was 2019, but it was not.  Maggie tagged me in 2015.  So there you go, Maggie.  I told you I would, and I have.

Signing off.

Talking to Myself

  Alright, Anna, let's talk.  So you hate yourself.  Why? It's not like you always have.  You never understood it in your younger days, how a person could really hate themselves, because you never did.  What's changed? Maybe there's just more to hate.  Maybe you were fine before, and now you're not.  It started with Ferdinand, when your insecurities came up in ugly ways, and you looked at yourself for the first time and thought I don't know or like this person . So maybe it's because one guy (okay, two) decided you weren't enough.  But so what?  You always knew from your older siblings that you weren't enough.  You learned to be okay with that.  You got through it with yourself, and didn't break up in the middle.  You were okay. But...your older siblings stayed.  They never left you because you weren't enough.  They loved you anyway, because they had to.  Because they're family.  It's okay to not be enough w...

The Big Catch-up

 So it's been awhile. The last three days have been busy.  I said there would be a picture update, so this is that, with some verbage thrown in there for good measure.  These last few days have been packed; the next few will have a lot more writing from me.  Probably multiple posts a day if I had to guess. Thursday started off with that dirty windshield finally getting cleaned.  That's Astrid there. LSU has a beautiful campus (from what I saw). Coming into Dallas. Downton in Denton, TX This is where my story begins.  Saturday morning I woke up bright and early, forced myself to go back to sleep, and ended up rising around 10:30.  At which point, I hopped in the car, and tried to figure out where to go. A buddy had suggested Fort Worth, so that is where I went.  I paid $10 to park in a nearly empty lot and walked past Billy Bob's Texas ("The World's Largest Honky Tonk") to the stockyards. The speedway I passed on my way to Fort Worth It took me abo...

A Promising Start

Image
 I got up at nine this morning, packed, and said goodbye to my family.  My car looked like this: As I climbed in, I whispered to myself, "I have no idea where I'm going." You see, every other night this week, I have a confirmed place to sleep.  I've picked a place, I've talked to people, in most cases I've even given an arrival time.  Monday night was the one hold-out. Georgia had seemed like it would be easy.  I've always had relatives in Georgia.  But unfortunately, those relatives moved into a retirement community.  I knew this, yet in my mind, Georgia was still easy. At around 8 o'clock, I pulled off and started looking through the directory of a conference I go to every year.  I found someone who lived in Georgia.  I called her.  She didn't answer.  I texted her. I decided I would rather have too many options than too few, and found some nearby churches from my denomination.  I called the churches, which went to voicemail....
