Jesus, Take the Wheel
No, I haven’t been reborn. I’m just obsessed with that Carrie Underwood song. Yeah, it’s corny. Sure, she preaches. But it’s also powerful and catchy. Both Brian and my roommate have had to endure that song on endless repeat, but I think they’re better for it. Check out launch to watch the video or smashits to listen to the song. The video takes the song to another level, and it brought a tear to mine eye! The message, as I see it, is that sometimes it’s too much to worry about everything in life, and that’s when you should let go and surrender to a higher power. So now, that’s my new favorite expression.
I went to karaoke the other night and sang my previous two favorite songs (see 1/29 blog entry). My rendition of "Fancy" wasn’t too bad, if I may comment on it. That is a long song with a lot of verses. Actually, when I sang "Just Like Jesse James," someone commented that it was a long song. It’s really not very long at all, but it must have felt long with me singing it, but I don’t care. It’s nowhere near my key, and I just needed to get it out of my system. Jesus, take the wheel! I almost didn’t go out because I had to be at work extra early the next morning, but I decided to let Jesus take the wheel and not let pastries rule my existence…and I was glad I did.
Did everyone have a good Groundhog Day on Thursday? Mine was very repetitive! We had class presentations in one of my business courses, and each group presented on the exact same topic so I had to listen to the same bullshit eleven times. Best believe I was ready to let go of the wheel that day! If you hadn’t heard, the groundhog did see his shadow so we’ll have 6 more weeks of winter. And for all y’all who might scoff that there isn’t winter in San Diego, I say "au contraire." It gets effing chilly over here! Some wonder why it is that we have more winter when he sees his shadow. Well, when he doesn’t see his shadow because of cloudiness, it’s a sign that the showers of spring are upon us!
Tonight I’m going to see the new horror movie, "When A Stranger Calls." It’s supposed to be good so I’m really excited!

I sometimes think to myself, “With a co-pilot like Charlie, who needs God?” But then I realize, “Oh, that’s right, Charlie’s not in my car.” And then I chant, “Mi Diva, porque me has dejado?”
