Music you should hear.

I don’t have much to blog about this time. Haven’t done anything exciting except battle bathe my dogs. :sarcastic: I have been on Plurk more often now, and I’ve made some great friends on there. It’s much better than Twitter, in my opinion. Really, you should all sign up and join the fun! Late nights get pretty addicting…I thank Plurk for my messed up sleeping habits! :razz:

Plurk aside, I just wanted to share a few of the songs that I’m currently in love with. I noticed several people on Plurk sharing their own, so I thought I might list my favorite five at the moment. Heck, I’ll even let you download them so that you can love them, too. :wink:

  • The Cranberries - Zombie: I cannot tell you how much in love I am with this song at the moment. I just love her voice (Dolores), and the words are just very powerful. It’s about war, it’s about fighting, it’s about the devastation it leaves behind. The Cranberries are just an awesome band.
  • Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World: I can hear this song over and over again. Nirvana has always been one of my favorite bands. Kurt Cobain has such a unique voice, and their music has just always fantastic. This song in particular, though…there’s something about it that makes me want to listen over and over again.
  • Ok Go - Here It Goes Again: I know most of you hear this song before, and I’m sure you’ve seen the video for it as well. I just never truly appreciated this song until I played it on Rock Band. It just stuck in my head, and I had to download it.
  • Coldplay - Viva la Vida: Coldplay has always been one of my favorite bands since Parachutes was released. Chris Martin has such an amazing voice, and I’ve just always loved that band. This album is different from their three previous albums, but it’s definitely a fantastic new direction the band has taken. I’m proud to say that the Hispanic culture helped shaped this new album. :wink:
  • R.E.M. - Orange Crush I’ve always liked R.E.M.’s music, but this has to be my favorite song. I just love the beat, and I love blasting it out of my husband’s truck so everyone can hear it. It’s a good song, so download this one!

So those are my favorite songs at the moment. I want everyone to download them and love them along with me! But I’m always looking for new bands/artists to check out, so please feel free to share some of your favorite bands or songs that you love. Expanding my music collection is what I live for. :wink:

P.S. To download the music, you need to enter the three letters you see and then hit “Download”.

Here Without You

“The reason it hurts so much to separate, is because our souls are connected.”

It’s 3am and I can’t get to sleep. I have these nights on occasion, although they’re becoming more and more frequent. These are the nights where I can’t stop thinking of my husband, and the pain is just overwhelming.

I sleep alone. I cry alone. My heart aches for him. I live my life as if nothing is wrong, but inside I’m dying every day that he and I are apart. The phone calls are not enough. The weekend visits to see him are not enough. My heart just breaks every time we have to say good-bye.

I always considered myself to be a strong person. I thought that I could handle being a Navy wife. It is incredibly hard. It is the hardest thing I ever had to do. I finally graduated this past spring, and the one person who had been there for me through everything wasn’t there to see me finally get that degree. I sat there during the ceremony, crying because my husband wasn’t there with me.

I save all the messages he leaves on my phone, and I listen to them constantly just to hear his voice. I read his letters all the time, and I remember how I felt every time I received one from him. I go through every single picture I have with him, and I can feel my throat constrict with the tears I know are coming. I want him to come home, and never leave.

But no matter how hard it is, or how badly my heart feels like it’s breaking, I don’t ever regret the choices we’ve made. It’s all worth it when I am finally able to see him; all the pain and sadness forgotten, if only for a while. I’m counting the weeks until he comes home, and I pray every day that they go by quickly.
