And the song stuck in my head today is...

Mae - Brink of Disaster



Light starts in a dark place
The story of a car chase
And I've become the criminal
I'm fleeing from this scene
And being caught in a bad dream
The truth becomes the unthinkable (yeah)

I'm on the brink of disaster
Starin' down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to feel
Goin' there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter
We're out of control asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Out of control asleep at the wheel

Night falls with no grace
I said I can do anything
But I can do anything wrong
And with burning speed
the rear view says it's catching up to me
But I'm already gone

Tearing it down to open up the highway
We're looking for our exit
No pretending
Spinning out and around, with a sobering smash
Staring at our car crash
Oh, the chase is ending

I'm on the brink of disaster
Starin' down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
We're out of control asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Out of control asleep at the wheel

This is such a great song. I got Singularity a few days ago and I am in love with it. I think they have the perfect amount of synthy stuff in it. It's not too much, it's not over-powering the songs.

Great album. Buy it.

I went to the mall today with Jay (my brother), Keone, and Connor. Me and Connor spent a lot of time in Hot Topic. It was fun. We also looked through JC Penny searching for someone who would buy a 26 dollar gift card off of us for 20 dollars. We finally got someone who agreed to it, after Jay and Keone had already left to go watch Keone get his ear pierced for his 16th birthday (Happy birthday Keone). Haha...Connor leaped and ran for joy when that lady handed us the 20 dollars. I bought Thrice - The Alchemy Index Vols. 1 & 2 AND 3 & 4. Oh yes. They're good.

Anyway, I feel like things in my life are starting to go really quite amazing. I think I finally have my focus right. For the past few days I've been focusing on God more than myself or my selfish desires and these few days have been really great. I've been really happy. I used to get depressed really easily when it comes to certain situations (I won't elaborate) but I think I've finally realized that almost every problem boils down to the question "What is your focus?"
If you're focused on yourself then you're going to get depressed easily, but if you're focused on God, then you're prepared for anything because you realize that He's in control of everything. And I think that I had been focused on myself, and not God.
If you trust God in everything, you won't be disappointed when things don't go you're way. It's like this, people let you down, circumstances change, and things only last for a little while, but God never lets His people down, He never changes, and He reigns forever.
I knew that already...but I never applied that knowledge. Like Cecelia said, "I have come to an understanding of many things that I previously knew"

All I can say is, praise the Lord!
