Secrets - One Republic

I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw wink, no
I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My god, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight, too cold
I don't really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, All my secrets away

Okay, so I love this song and I'm pretty sure one day when I was on the computer I listened to it like 25 times in a row, and I think it has some cool things in it. The whole song is talking about how he has these secrets that he's been hiding from people, sorta like he's being fake.  And now he's gotten to the point where he's sick of it.  He's doesn't want another lie that he comes up with that sounds good.  He's sick of having to play this role and now he's gonna come clean and he doesn't care who criticizes him.  Then he goes on to talk about how now he has no shame or anyone he can blame it on he's just hoping someone will stay with him and not "let him disappear."  Personally, I think this is a good song and it's not bad to listen to.

My future Hubby:)

Lots of teenage girls obsess over marriage and married life and having a husband.  I am one of the.  Well, not really but sort of.  Obviously the most important thing any Christian looks for in a spouse is a strong relationship with God.  So that's just a given.  So this "blog" is going to be over the second most important characteristic.  It's kinda hard to narrow everything I'm looking for down to one, but I think I can do it.  One day last year me and my mom sat down and had a talk about what I was looking for in a husband and we came up with 21 pretty broad things.  Some of course weren't as serious as the others like "has to be attractive" and "has to be taller than me"(Yeah.. like that's even an issue).  But anyways we came up with that list and number one and two both have to do with Christianity but the third is "Has respect for my friends, family, and myself."  I think having respect for someone is very important.  Not just the actual person but what the person has to say as well.  It's okay if someone doesn't agree with you but they shouldn't be rude by telling you that your opinion sucks and theirs is right.  Also, you can't always be putting someone down, even if you're joking it shows a lack of respect for them.

TEEN SEX IS NOT ALWAYS BAD.

Ha, just kidding.  A university in Colorado, I think, did a study to see if there was a difference between teens who had sex or were abstinent.  They found that there was hardly any difference between the abstinent kids and the teens who were having sex but were in a committed relationship.  However, the teens who had sex "freely" had lower grade point averages.  And overall the teens who had sex were more truant aka missed more days of school.  Okay, so first off I believe that any sex before marriage is wrong.  There is some kind of truth to this study.  I mean if someone is in a committed relationship they are better with responsibility and stuff like that, where someone who just has sex for fun would not hold themselves to as high of a standard.  If they don't care who they have sex with they probably won't have as good of grades.  But you could compare this to almost anything.  They could have done the same study but replaced sex with something different like sports for example.  If teens aren't committed to sports they might not be committed to school work so in some ways the study was good, but in some ways it was just obvious I guess.
