Great Places
The last time I was in Ogden around lunch time I went to a sandwich shop in Riverdale called Honeybaked Ham.--it was AMAZING. I had never been there before and my experience was top notch-- I went there with a coupon for buy one get one free, ordered one meal and one sandwich. The meals include a side and a drink.
As I was talking with my girlfriend over what side to pick the attendant offered to give me the other one we were deciding between for free. I was happy! Then, while we were eating the attendant was replaced and the new guy talked to us briefly and ALSO offered us a free drink. So I essentially purchased a meal and got a meal for free. To add to the excitement, my girlfriend's punch card filled up and she gets a free sandwich next time...
Some days it won't stop raining.

Horizons
I like the concept of Horizons: they are where the human eye can no longer perceive detail and so the mind blends it all together--but they are as far as the eye can see.
They are also where sky and ground meet in a distinct line.
There is a lot of distance between here and there--many obstructions and obstacles.
...but there really isn't an end. The earth is circular, so the real "end" is behind you.
There isn't one single horizon for everyone, everyone is in a different position and everyone faces different obstacles in reaching the horizon--some have steep mountains and some have smooth green plains.
Whatever you think is the end is not the end.
The world is bigger than what you see in the distance.
We're all traveling towards our horizons.

Surveys
I like surveys. They not only help other people realize my opinions, but they help me realize a thing or two about myself simply because they force me to think about my opinions...
Please take this questionnaire! :)

Whining
I feel as though I can really appreciate this singer.
Some people whine whenever things go bad. Some people cry when people leave them (Kanye) or when they have to leave people (Fergie). Some singers make a career out of whining (Swift).
Whining doesn't solve anything other than to bond two people together in negativity. It makes the world a worse place.
This song/video is about a girl who gets a "sharp knife" stabbed in her heart by a boy and rather than make an annoying song about how horrible men are or how relationships suck, or how you don't know what you have until you've lost it. She refers back to a classic poem by Tennyson about how sometimes it kills you when your heart is broken. --She doesn't blame anyone. In fact, most people think this song is about dying young.
Sometimes, even though you're saying the same thing, the way you say it can change the entire dynamic and people can respect what you're saying more.
