Baltimore Child Photography: Music’s what I need to keep my sanity!
Today was easily one of the worst days of my life. I’m talking really, really terrible, stressful, and unlucky. Let’s just say that everything that could go wrong did. It included being woken up by a cat fight, vomit, a bee sting, and multiple accidents involving my car. After I told Bryan all my tales of woe, and he laughed at me, he started singing that “So you had a bad day…” song. I would like nothing more than to forget about this day entirely so I figured I’d compile some positive quotes to keep on truckin’.*
“Life’s a bowl of punch. Go ahead and spike it.” -311, Plain
Sidenote: That was always one of my fave quotes, so I tried to use it in the quotes section of our high school’s senior yearbook. Instead of telling me that they thought it was inappropriate and having me change it, the staff changed it to “Life’s a bowl of punch, go ahead and enjoy it.” So now it’s immortalized and I feel like a total dork about it and cringe when thinking of people looking back at that yearbook in 20 years! But I don’t regret the green/blue hair I rocked for awhile that year. 
“The hostility felt between you and me stops opportunity given to spread unity” -Ozomatli, Cumbia De Los Muertos
“Recognize when the world wont stop for you
Or when your days don’t care what you got to do
Or when the weights too tough to lift up
What do you do?
Don’t let em choose for you
That’s all you” -P.O.S., Goodbye
“If I hadn’t made me, I would’ve been made somehow
If I hadn’t assembled myself, I’d have fallen apart by now
If I hadn’t made me, I’d be more inclined to bow
Powers that be, would have swallowed me up
But that’s more than I can allow” -Incubus, Make Yourself
“Fought the urge to do it, skin to skin
What the hell- here I go
Jump right in” -The Urge, Jump Right In
“No longer am I mad about the things I don’t have
All I’m living for is love and laughs” -Atmosphere, Saves the Day
And my most favorite quote when the going gets tough…
“The path of most resistance tests all of our strength
This strength will not be denied” -Machine Head, Bulldozer

Whew, I feel better already! There’s a small glimpse into my music collection. I really enjoyed the late 90s! haha.
