Here in Your Arms

Ever have one of those days when it seems that everything in your life has been building up like a towering stack of moving boxes? Each one labeled to specific destinations, and you've been doing alot of work all over the place. Well ironically i am moving so there are a lot of figurative and real moving boxes in my house building up. some times you get too much going on at one time and today was one of those day when the stack toppled over. Now i like to fancy myself one of those guys who if pretty calm and chill with this kind of thing but, AAAAHHHH!!!! When I walk into my house the stress and chaos is so thick it clouds the room. now its not just the moving thats filling up my life. I'm in a band who at the moment is recording our first CD. We also have a show tomorrow night and another the next week. So the band is a priority but at the same time so is my families move. I also have a girlfriend as i've told you before. well what i didn't tell you is she lives 127 km, 1 hr and 36 mins. if you drive the speed limit that is. if you drive as fast as i do you can make it in about an hour. Well my girlfriend is a priority as well. i don't get to see her very often so when i'm away from her she is almost always on my mind. i got to talk to her today on the phone and i got to read her amazing blog about yours truly! that time was the best part of my day. I love music and I love my band. I most definitely love my family and i love moving because it brings me just that much closer to my girlfriend, but the work part in both of these things is what is killing me. I can tend to be lazy when i want to be! Anyways so today when my world came crashing down around me in a jumbled heap of ... well for a lack of a better word crap-ola,  all I could do to keep from having my insides become my outsides was picture myself in my favorite place in this crazy world, which if you haven't guessed already is in the arms of this simply wonderful girl of mine. Bailey. I feel better just saying it. Bailey , Bailey Bailey! I miss her quite a lot when I don't get to see her for long periods of time, some of which are my own fault I admit, but I'm trying to fix it. 

Do you ever have one of those days when it seems that everything in your life has been building up like a stack of moving boxes? Let me give you some advice. Picture the place you love most in this world, can you see it? Are you there? Who is with you? Are you happy? Good, now take five seconds and just breathe. I was told that with just five breaths you can change where you are in life. So its up to you. Take a breath....1.....2....3...4.....5.... Are you there? Are you happy? 

I am so 'In Like'

this is a song that i wrote just a few days ago. so heres the story: It was the day of a concert that our band was having. we had some stuff to set up at the location of our gig and we were basically there all day. earlier that week the girl who i like told me she couldn't make it that night to come see us play and it really got me down! i couldn't stop thinking about her all day and when i had some free time i pulled out the acoustic guitar and started to mess around. i found some chords that went good together and i started to sing some words. well a little while later and i had a song made up. of course the song is about my friend who couldn't make it. i was really sad because i had planned to ask her to be my girlfriend on stage that night. well i played this song to myself over and over just so i could be reminded of her. in the end it made me some what depressed and even more sad that i wouldn't see her that night. well 7 o'clock comes around and the show starts. we had a couple other local bands open for us. i stood in the crowd while the first band played. every few minutes i'd look around with some small hope that i'd see this girl and every time i'd look back to the stage in disappointment. i was starting to lose all hope and just give up whne my eyes were covered. i was spun around and my head angled downward, way down and then the hands were removed and before me stood the girl of my dreams. i freaked out!! i could not believe she was there!!! it made my week! and then i remembered the song i wrote earlier that day! so i ran to a back room in the building to hide from the noise of the other band and i played her this song!   

Love Like Woe

Hey so i've been wanting to write a blog for a while now. I met some new friends and have found that they write blogs. So here I am making my own. I guess i should let you know who I am.

 I love Nicknames! My name is Reid, but my friends just call me Rude Reid Kape Walters. Or Riddles, and I have even been called Skittles :)  you can call me what ever you want really!   

I love Music! music is my life! it has a power that is probably the closest thing to magic in this world! music can change how you feel. it can lift you up, it can bring you down. music can save you and music can guide you. music has its own way of touching each of us. but most of all music never ends. it will never die, like almost everything else in this world. music isn't constant, its always changing and growing just as we are. 

I love Soda! some days i feel like i will die if i don't drink something carbonated! i get crazy cravings for pop and it drives me crazy until i get some! Drinks with kick are the best like fresca, or barq's root beer. but those are just to kick my fizz addiction. my all time fav soda would be jones. ask anyone who knows me! back in the day i'd collect all the jones bottles i drank in my locker at school. i think at one point i took home 200! i spent way to much on those things! 

I love Movies! i love stupid funny shows, you know the ones i'm talking about. movies like Nacho and Hot Rod. Kung fu Panda was a good one. Sons of Provo for those of you who have heard of it! but these are just funny shows. my favorite kind of movies are the action movies that have the perfect combination of special affects that are good but not too far fetched and still believable and awesome plot lines. Movies like the Bourne series and the new 007 like Casino royale and quantum of solace. Also super hero movies get me good! 

I love Super Heroes! i can never get enough of them. but i find when watching super hero movies i need to know the background stories to all the heroes. so being the nerd i am i go look up everything i can on them and then have a sit down with my good bud tanner and we discuss super powers all night! my fav would have to be the Green Lantern but i must say i am a little disappointed in the movie. i havent seen it yet but the previews for it didn't blow my mind. but still a super hero who's powers are only limited to his own imagination has got to be the sweetest thing ever!! 

I love My Life! as of right now i honestly couldn't ask for much more in my life! im in a band and we rock! I'm not in school and currently unemployed which for me is the greatest thing in the world! i have awesome friends and am almost always making more! i have a girlfriend who is probably the coolest girl i know! i love my life and i never forget it! i live each day in that light, that my life is great and thats the way it always should be.
