A song for Hope.
I’ve written and recorded a song that was inspired by Barack Obama. It’s not a song about him, but it is a song about hope in dealing with the upcoming presidential election.
The song is called “Hope Song”.
You can stream or download the song for free at my Purevolume page @ www.purevolume.com/backseatgoodbye.

Me: Would you love me if I were a snowman?
Lauren: Yeah, I would put you in a freezer so you wouldn't melt.

“To adults who will vote for him, Barack Obama represents a return to prosperity....”

Until Christmas!
Yeah, it’s not even Halloween yet,… but I’ve always loved Christmas more than everyone else I know.
When other people are asking “Why are they already putting out Christmas merchandise this early?!”… I’m thinking to myself, “Thank fucking goodness they’re finally putting this stuff on the shelves!”
:)
a poem of sorts.
Here’s a quick something I’ve jotted down, in these very early hours of today. If you like this, feel free to pick up a copy of my first poetry book (it’s finally back in stock) HERE.
“Hear me! Hear me!” I’ve just arrived home after a sixteen hour drive from New York.
I played my heart out yesterday… to a room of about 15 people (that still had their...
ahem.
Let me just say that this is my personal Tumblog,… I have a Tumblr that is completely dedicated to my music @ backseatgoodbye.tumblr.com
You may have noticed a new trend of posts from me on this specific Tumblr that pertain to the recently aquired love of my life… and well, the truth is, I really can’t help that she’s what’s been on my mind so much lately. I post so...
This is the most beautiful story I have ever read. →
anonymousami:
Wow. That’s a great story. Can’t wait for the movie!
sarahsaturday:
My heart will be happy all day.
Wow. This is a simply amazing, inspiring, beautiful story. I mean seriously fucking beautiful.
“That’s the thing about people knowing anything about you before you meet...”
– John Mayer
Seriously, it’s hard to put this into words, but the quote above is the closest I’ve ever seen to getting this feeling EXACTLY right. There’s no real way for this post to make sense, because I’m definitely not going to share the reason why I’m posting...
ugh.
I fucking hate this feeling.
My mind. My mind does this to me.
Every weekend. I sit here. Alone. And wonder. And hope that you don’t find someone better.
I just don’t want to lose you.
And I’m 500 miles away, completely and utterly powerless in this situation.
And the kicker, it’s only 9:32pm. I still have at least 4 to 5 more hours of being awake to have to deal with...
Ahh, true love ;)
Me: (Sarcastic comment)
My Girlfriend: I'm gonna punch you right in the goddamn forehead.
i love you.
Yes, you.

McCain.
I am an avid Barack Obama supporter, however….
I must say, I just saw the new video of McCain actually taking on his heavy supporters to say that Obama isn’t someone they should be scared of… and I now actually respect the man. Though I still don’t support him at all, I am very releived to see this side of the man, and gladly give him a good bit of my respect now.

ewwww.
McCain just winked at Brokaw. Blehhhfdfdkfjdka;f.

Wow, I’ve never found this quote truer than since I’ve met my love from The Windy City. This explains how I feel about her, perfectly.
I am so unbelievably happy
laurenlee:
that you are mine. I fucking LOVE you. ahhhhh :)
Right back at you, babe. ;)
My life is a John Mayer song.
Fridays always do this to me. I sit here all night, and feel terrible. When I do get out on Fridays, it’s simply to drive and listen to this song on repeat. It makes me feel a little better when I do.

Backseat Goodbye Tumblr. →
In an attempt to make sure I keep this tumblog specifically a personal one, I’ve started a separate one specifically for my music.
TMZ?
That 70s Show just went off on CW58 here in my town,… and this show I’ve always heard about, TMZ comes on afterward.
I’ve been sitting here, watching it for the last 18 minutes. And I seriously just don’t get how people can watch this shit. All the damn show consists of is the paparazzi asking dickhead questions to celebrities trying to walk down the street.
I mean,...
Oh shit,...
I just realized it’s already October. Where did the year go?
The Entrepreneurs.
Just stumbled upon a new favorite show.
I get so excited to see other people making ideas into thriving businesses.
I hope I still have this same feeling when I’m 50, because I love it.
