Music Monday June 11, 2012


So I’m starting my journey today on Music Monday. The new song that I listened to was Think Good Thoughts by Colbie Caillat. It is definitely a catchy beat. I was bobbing back and forth to the beat from the very beginning. It isn’t my favorite of her songs but I enjoyed it and I really liked the message the lyrics shared. I would probably give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. I picked it because I figured, based on the name of the song; it would be a great place to start  this little adventure of mine.



 Now, the thought occurred to me that it would almost be selfish to not try to get other people to experience some new things as well so I asked my friend Becky to listen to the song. She is used to me making random, sudden requests so she went right along with it, being the good sport that she is. What she had to say about it was “I like it. Its kind of like when you get that awful feeling late at night when your mind starts to run and all the negatives and what ifs start to get you and you have to find a way to combat it and shut it down.“ She gave the song a 7.5 out of 10. Well, I figure that I have now rambled on enough for this to qualify as a not insignificant post. So that is one day down, who knows how many more to go? 

The Goal

So I was walking back from the library today and was suddenly struck with an idea. I decided that I was going to try to do something new every single day. However, it wouldn't be nearly as fun if there wasn't a challenge to go with. So I created a category to go with everyday and I have to do something that fits into that category. Each day will go as such:

Music Monday (I have to listen to a new artist or song)
Taste Bud Tuesday (I have to try a new food or drink or eat at a restaurant I haven't been to before)
Well-Written Wednesday (I have to read, or at least start, a new book every Wednesday)
Thrills on Thursday (I have to do some activity or go to an event that I have never participated in before)
Friendly Friday (I have to meet someone new)
Sight-Seeing Saturday (I have to go somewhere that I have never been before)
Sitcom Sunday (I have to watch a new television show or movie)

I will be uploading pictures for every day (unless it isn't possible for some reason). This blog will serve as a record of what I have done so I can always look back and remember. And with that, let the games begin.
