This time the song is by The Temper Trap its called Down River
I really enjoy this song... The guy's voice and the way this song is pieced together.
The Temper Trap - Down River:
Finally, we have seen some things
Some awfully nice, some dreadfully bad
But we will sing.
Wash the blood, off our knees
Cause our love breaks through ruff seas, our ship will sail it
I, don't, understand how this world will work
Cause time will tell us nothing and I'll take a chance on something
Fill them up, this time take you
Down river
Walk these stairs put the pieces back together
Go, don't stop
Now go..
Finally, we have seen some things
But bells in your hallways
Don't move you in the right place
But we will sing.
Wash the blood, off our knees
Cause our love breaks through ruff seas, our ship will sail it
I, don't, understand how this world will work
Cause time will tell us nothing and I'll take a chance on something
Down, river.
Go, don't stop.
Enjoy!

Just a few things you should know first:

- Katy Brooks
- I love writing, and writing is what I do best. Everyone has their own inspiration and a way to deal with emotion, and my outlet is writing and music. Music is my calm, my happiness, my sadness and my life. I love music, I listen to it all day everyday. I have been writing since I learned how to make sense of all the things going on in my mind. My writing is how I get everything I feel out in the open. When I create a character I feel like I put myself in their shoes, like I vicariously live through them... I wouldn't have it any other way because to me it makes them seem more relatable. Without my writing and music, I would be a lost soul... It is who I am. My name is also Katy Brooks, though it is not my real name, it who I will be known as from here on out.

Stress.
So lately I have been stressing out so much, it is ridiculous. I have been breaking out bad because of it too...
Thing have not been going well softball wise these past couple of weeks... well this past month. We have been losing and never really stopped. Things have not been going the way they were suppose to, but I guess that is life/reality..
I have been really busy with softball and caught up in all of the negativity of it all that I have forgotten to enjoy the things that make me happy: Music and Writing. I was so damn stressed I couldn't even listen to music, but I stopped caring and worrying..
I am good now, but softball is still rocky and I have a feeling that it is going to stay that way, unfortunately. I only have a couple weeks left and I will be able to go home and start over next year.
I have found some new things that interest me and make me laugh. One of those is Glee...
I love this show, seriously, it is so great. Something about watching the awkwardness and harsh world of high school on my screen while these kids sing is so satisfying. Awesome. This show is so precious.
Anyways, we have this weekend off because of rain and what not. So I am going to stay in, watch some Glee, listen to some music and write a little to stay relaxed. :D

Goodnight Moon
Here are lyrics to a new song that I am obsessed with. Way obsessed with.
It is by Go Radio so go to their myspace (myspace.com/goradio) and listen to it and also order their new EP!!
This song is called "Goodnight Moon":
Don't go to bed yet, love
I think it's too early
We just need a little time to our selves
If my wall clock tells me that it's 4 in the morning, I'll give it hell
Cause I've been trying way to long to try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens
We shouldn't have to bear alone
So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When you're all that I think about
All that I dream about
How I'd ever breath without, a goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read out loud, like a passage from goodnight moon
And sing for me softly
Let your song for tomorrow tell me, my name's the one that's hidden in there somewhere?
And drink for me anything but dream and in color about we know the sun's still rising and we don't care
Cause I've been trying way too long to try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens
We shouldn't have to bear alone
So goodnight you and goodnight moon
When you're all that I think about
All that I dream about
How I'd ever breath without, a goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feelings we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read out loud, like a passage from goodnight moon
And there you were, now saw my Juliet
Come graceful down the stairs
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room
And steal the air
Just feel her lips locked on to every breath I take
Can't breath, and do you feel us falling?
Cause I feel us falling
So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When you're all that I think about
All that I dream about
How I'd ever breath without, a goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read out loud, like a passage from goodnight moon
And there you were, now saw my Juliet
Come graceful down the stairs
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room
And steal the air
Do you feel us falling
Cause I can feel us falling
Do you feel us falling
Cause I can feel us falling

Comtemplation
I am currently laying in bed just thinking.... (this is what I normall do because I don't sleep well, so I lay here and think)
I am thinking about my life and what I am doing.
Yesterday was the time in a long time that I have shown so much passion for softball. Yesterday I played with a broken finger and it was so damn painful but I can't remember the last time I cared this much to push through. I mean I have pain and I have always pushed through but yesterday was different... I felt like it was the game that I fell in love with years ago. I don't know if this will last but it's the first time I have felt like it is all going to be OK.
You have to realize that this doesn't happen for me, especially in softball. I am saying that I enjoyed doing it and looked forward to keep playing.
I am hoping it stays so I can get that competitive strive back and effin win.
See I'm getting excited just thinking about it. :)
Have a great day and stay blessed. Don't take anything for granted. You never know what you have until it's gone.

Accidents
This post will not be very long due to the fact that I am currently typing with my two pointer fingers...
My middle finger on my left hand broke yesterday during my game. Shit shit shit. It was awful...
Sigh. I am not going to be out for any games... but I am going to have to be cautious because my trainer is very weary about where I broke it... we have to wait a week and see... fail.
Hoping it heals!
Here is my 2nd "accident" this week.
I got in a wreck. I am okay, my car has a little dent... my poor baby... But no one got hurt. Both cars are still drivable and look in normal shape...
So that is all I am going to release about that!
Stay blessed and safe y'all!

RALLY TIME!!
We did it last year and we can do it again!!!!!
Attention all Chuck fans!!! It is time to rally, as Josh Schwartz said on twitter, it is time for us to organize! We need a season 4 and we are going to stop at nothing to get it!
NBC isn't going to help us in promotion either, so we need to attack blogs, websites, and all things internet. ASAP!! We need to spread this show and get our viewers back! Nielson ones first though.
We need to convince as many "important" people as possible that this show is worth saving and we loyal fans don't want to see it go!
We have not failed the show thus far and we don't plan on stopping at all!!
LETS DO THIS!
Rally time starts now, and it won't stop until we get an announcement for season 4!!!
So start blogging, tweeting, facebook posting, convincing, and if you know how to hack websites: hack em' and give them some Chuck spam!!!!!
Let's unite to save our show!

More 'Charah' Art
Posted by Katy Brooks at 7:25:00 PM 0 comments
PERSPECTIVE!
This is post I unfortunately did NOT write.
Hi Kate,
This is my new persepective on the Fake Name.
I think the reason why Sarah is not kicking ass and both Chuck and Sarah are OOC is because the writers want to portray that both Chuck and Sarah are trying to be people they are not. Sarah is trying to be Sam? Or whatever she thinks a real girl should be but she wants to be anybody but Sarah Walker. The problem is that Chuck is not there to guide her. Shaw is just manipulating Sarah and he is using the situation with Hannah and Chuck to do that. She gave the name reveal because she is desperately trying to be someone else. Being Sarah Walker is a painful memory because she feels she lost Chuck Bartowski and she doesn't recongize Charles Carmichael. Her running to Shaw is her trying to burn that bridge to what she wanted with Chuck. Last episode her model home burned down. Shaw is only a temporary Shack shielding her from the rain.
Now Chuck he tried to run into the arms of another brunette because he also has low self esteem and he thinks Sarah rejected Charles Bartowski after the Prague incident. He tried to be Charles Carmichael but that seemed to fail because he even said it last episode I did all this for her. What he did is change into something he is not and in the process he was grasping on to anyone who would show him so love. You don't think Chuck is about to have an emotional breakdown like Sarah. He lost Sarah when he chose to be a spy, he lost the connection with his sister, he is losing his best friend, he barely has a connection with Sarah and now Devon doesn't even want to know about his dual life. Chuck is also lost and so he runs to anyone who doesn't know he is a spy, hence trying to start a relationship with Hannah. He is a hell of of a guy living a hell of a lie, Not flashing to save Sarah is a big sign that Chuck has lost it.
The problem is only Chuck knows the real Sarah/Sam and only Sarah truly understands everything about Chuck Bartowski Real guy and Spy.
When these two are together and clicking they are unstoppable but right now they are two fake names trying to live other people’s lives.
Hopefully the beard they both realize that they both screwed up and they actually clean up this mess.
I still don't like the name reveal but I get that it is supposed to show us how broken these two people are. Sarah so broken she is willing to say screw it and for Chuck to see that she would confied in Shaw and that her love or lack there of is a rude awakening to Chuck. I don't think Chuck finding out about this thing with Shaw would have snapped him out, it had to be something so jarring that it would shake the very foundation of all he has believed. Hopefully his little bearded buddy helps him come out of the dark and Sarah sees that she really is Sarah Walker kick ass spy in love with Chuck Bartowski another kick ass spy. I am ready for this party to get started.
The first 8 episodes were the set up now it's time for the pay off.
Rich is very wise and has some major perspective. He just wants Chuck and Sarah together... He is not the crazy shipper you all think he is... or he used to be...
Bring on 3.09

Chuck thoughts...
Okay so every Chuck fan knows that these past two episodes have been hard to watch... Being a huge Chuck/Sarah shipper it was hard to watch these two characters go their separate ways.

A sample!
Here is a sample of my writing. I wrote this paper for my scriptwriting class. The purpose of it was to describe what were were hearing, smelling, and feeling. I wrote about what I heard when I was walking back to my dorm for class.
The Ambience of Personal Silence
You never know what you’re going to experience when you decide to stop hearing, and decide to start listening. Things seem clearer and life seemed meaningful. With every breath I took and every step I made new sounds were heard; it would appear that things were making since. When I took an oath of a silence for thirty minutes, I heard sounds I had never listened to before. This was a unique silence that was all mine. I started outside…
Through the sound of tires crashing through deep puddles it reminded me that the rain has not only effected my own willing footsteps, but every other moving object on campus. I hear laughing in the distance as it slowly creeps closer, and their eager footsteps have a telling pace. People pass with quiet conversation, a slight detection of nervousness in their voices. Homework, they say, is their main concern.
Walking inside to save myself from the extreme humidity, the air conditioner kicks on as if it read my mind. Friendly people say hello while those who keep to themselves walk by without a sigh, or a simple nod. Once I am alone, I only hear the sound of my Nikes dragging along on the tile, I then realize how annoying it sounds when I walk. Nearing my exit, I am startled by the clanking of the mechanical closet that seems as if it is working overtime to keep people like me happy and cool.
Outside again, the effects of rain strike again and a large, rusted gutter is gushing water with out anticipation. The humidity is causing me to break a small sweat, I feel as if I am in Kansas again, there is no place like home. Walking through the gravel I hear small rocks being crunched while larger rocks are being kicked forward with every stride. One bird chirps, as other birds chime in, in unison as if they were seemingly crying for the same thing.
While basking in the ambience of these birds chirping a loud muffler disturbs me, and the car quickly pulling out while the muffler rumbles, I am not impressed. As one car leaves, it sounds as if twenty more pull in. I inch closer to my dorm as more familiar voices can be heard, and familiar faces can be seen. Laughter, and loud voices remind me that I am close to happiness, and my personal silence is almost over.
I get to the stairs and there is a sound of footsteps eagerly going down the steps, as I move to the side to let them pass. I turn the corner, I am on my floor and I hear my friends greeting me as if I had been gone for longer than a few hours. I get propositioned to go to lunch, and I do not decline. My silence is over, and all of these new sounds I have heard, but I know I won’t listen like I just had a few moments before. The ambience of my personal silence is something I won't forget for awhile.

Temptation
So I am sitting here waiting for the mechanics to change my oil, rotate my tires and change my filters... This coffee keeps tempting me...
The question is; do I give into temptation??
This is so significant: do I give into the smell of hot coffee brewing, I can taste the coffee and it has been at least a month since I have been off of this stuff...
Oh how this temptation is to tempting...

New Chapter
As the days go by, it shows that my final days here in Kansas are ending. The next time I return I will be 20, have an associates degree, and have a very Latina Texan tan :).
I have discovered that returning home only makes it harder and harder to say goodbye... The things I miss and the rare changes that occur, it still gets hard to leave...
Right now for example; I am at my little brothers basketball game and it is the last game I will see til next year... This sadenss me to know that so many things will go by and life will pass before the next time I see another game...
Though it seems like nothing ever changes in my hometown, I miss my brother grow up...
When I leave, my family are no longer known as familiar faces, they become familiar voices... Voices I feel delighted to hear and at some points dread... Hearing thier voices give me a sense of security and relief.
No matter what happens in my life the most consistent thing will be my family...specifically my mom.
Through all the illnesses and injuries, my mom has never doubted me. Never. My mom will be the one person in the world who will be there for me through thick and thin. She is the greatest woman I know and there is no one else in the world like her. She is beautiful, smart, and caring... I could only hope to be a mother like her to my future kids. Regardless of what she thinks, I would love to be just like her.
That's all I really have to say at the moment... Gotta watch my brother play :)
