Dear Best Friend

         I want you to know that you have made my life better than it ever could be without you. The affect you have had in my life is one that you will never fully comprehend. I am so glad that I can trust someone as much as I do you. You truly make life worth living, and I am so grateful that I always have someone to talk to. You have always been by my side, and that is something that can not be reproduced. I've never had a friend as great and consistent as you. I thank the Lord every morning and night for the day you walked into my life. I want you to know, that I would honestly do anything for you. You'll always be my best friend.


"You'll Always Be My Best Friend"

I wish I knew you
Way back when
Before you were part of my plans
I think that we would have been friends

There's only time to live our lives
And you'll be the one who's by my side
And I can promise you then
You'll always be my best friend

Till the end when we part
I will give you my heart
And I'll promise to love you with all that it is
And I'll promise to be there whenever you need me
Because you'll always be my best friend

You'll always be my best friend [x5]

The Finish Line

"The Finish Line"
By: Train

I thought I knew it all
I've been through the highs, said all my goodbyes
Learned to run before I learned to crawl
It's not worth fighting for if one of us is sure
And one of us is dying, trying to find loves cure

I have waited all my life to paint these cities red
Thoughts I've always had here are stuck inside my head
It's not worth waiting for if one of us wants more
And one of us is dying, trying to find love's door

When we learn how to fly
We forget to how walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't wanna hear each other talk

Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line

And you, you really thought you knew
Everything to do
With holding onto me and holding on
This time is making me slip right through your hands
And now you don't understand
Trying to find love all yourself

When we learn how to fly,
We forget to how walk
When we learn how to sing
We don't wanna hear each other talk
When we know what we want
We forget what we need
When you find who you are
You forget about me

Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line, ah
Here we are at the finish line

Ah, ah, ah

You know if this is for you

What is left

   " What Will We Become?"

We started out as acquaintances
We started out as friends
You waited for me to break down your walls,
So I did.
You waited for me to give you my soul
While I waited for yours.
I gave you all that I have to offer
You don't seem to care.

Look at the Legacy we built
Is it falling out?
Think of all the times we spent,
Are they over?
What have I done?
What will we become?

We were brought together by friends
We built ourselves, by ourselves.
I did everything I possible could
you watched.
I tried to make you laugh.
I tried to make you smile.
I've done all that I can,
so what are you going to do?


Look at the Legacy we built
Is it falling out?
Think of all the times we spent,
Are they over?
What have I done?
What will we become?

Should I give up?
This can't be the end.
Friends don't end like this
Can we pass the test?
I love you more
than you'll ever know.
I'll work
to make it work.

Look at the Legacy we built
Is it falling out?
Think of all the times we spent
Are they over?
What have I done?
What will we become?

What have I done?
What will we become?

What will we become?

Music

Music: The way I speak
I couldn't possibly live without it.
I realized once again today how important music is to me.
It truly is the way I express myself.
I can never say the words right when I write them,
but Music expresses them beautifully.
Whenever I want to tell someone something I give them a song that says it for me.
Maybe the reason my parents and most people don't understand me is because they don't listen to my music and the won't listen to it. In a way by not being willing to listen to the music I listen to, you are saying you don't want to listen to me. Between blogging and music, those are the only ways I can vent. It's interesting, but I kind of love that about myself. There is a reason there are melodies pouring into my ears anywhere from 2-7 hours a day.
There is something about music that just inspires me. I don't know how I'll be able to let go of it for my mission.

How can I keep from Singing?

I feel that at this point, I don't know if I've ever had a friend do so much for me. I would like you all to know what an amazing guy Steve Clarke is. Steve and I have been friends for years and up until recently I did not realize what a generous and caring guy he is. These are the things he has done for me in the past month.
1. We were both in AFH's Got Talent (our school talent show) and we went in there with the attitude of we just love singing so it's not a competition. Well the winner of the male vocal department got $50. I was hoping I would win because I needed the money for Prom. Well, Steve won, but afterwards, he pulled me aside and he said, "Greg, I want you to have the money." I tried to stop him, but he insisted he could earn it back in a day. Truth be told I spent exactly $50 on Prom, not a cent more. $35 for ticket, $11 for vest, $4 for dinner.
2. Steve almost managed to provide a way for my date and I to go to California for our Prom day date.
3. Steve works at Macey's and he informed me about a new Macey's replacing the "A Fresh Market." His younger brother also called me about this to let me know. So I filled out an application, I went in in-between sessions of General Conference. I showed up at a perfect time, because I walked right in to get an interview, and then they gave me the job. Thank you Steve. Thank you Dave. Thank you Lord for thy infinite blessings.
