Dad and I just enjoyed yummy cream cycles!

Summer is supposed to be relaxing right? Well I've been working about 40 hours a week, plus going to school 8 hours and homework a week. So I'm getting more and more exhausted! I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to class tomorrow, it's time to skip one! Some may say that I'm a slacker, but hey, its summer, thats what its for! :)
James Taylor has been my cd of choice lately, kinda strange, but oddly relaxing and needed. These songs have been jumbling my mind and muddling my thoughts. Why do they keep wedging themselves in? Maybe it's because my emotions are vacillating and need something to sturdy them. James Taylor's music is reassuring and consoling. Here's some of the lyrics that have been tangled up lately:
In my mind I’m goin’ to carolina,
Can’t you see the sunshine?
Can’t you just feel the moonshine?
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I’m goin’ to carolina in my mind...

...There ain’t no doubt it no ones mind
That loves the finest thing around
Whisper something warm and kind
And hey babe the sky’s on fire, I’m dyin’
Ain’t I goin’ to carolina in my mind

...Dark and silent last night
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Signs that might be omens say I going, going
I’m goin’ to carolina in my mind


The other song goes something like this:
There’s something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If I’m feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.

And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now,
She’s around me now almost all the time.
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now,
And she’s been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
She has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:
