Timeline: 1974

I wanted to take a long, long break.  In fact I wanted to take a long break from blogging, forever.  I began to grow tired of blogging.  In fact, I seem to have grown tired of quite a few things.  I realize that life is just too short to hate and be tired.  Anyways, I have decided to do a timeline of my life. I wrote my autobiography a few months ago.  I didn't realize what kind of person I truly was, am, and desire to be.  I will go with a timeline that illustrate my life in pics, videos, reflections, or facts about my life and what was going on that year.  First of all, I was born in 1974.

1974 Music Fact
"Waterloo" by ABBA

Even though this song constantly repeats the name of the battle that spelt the end of Napoleon's empire, the French, like the rest of Europe, were more than happy to buy this song in large quantities. The single spent 12 weeks on the French charts, peaking at #3. In Belgium, where the Battle of Waterloo took place, this song spent five weeks at #1.

Reflection on country and entertainment from the 1980s

There is nothing like listening to great music, regardless of the genre.  Right now, I am listening to Willie Nelson.  I miss all music like this.  I like country music, don't get me wrong, but I hate listening to it on the radio.  I am not as big a country music fan as I once was.  It seems that some of t he modern-day country artists are just way too mainstream and less country for my tastes.  I'm sure those artists have a lot of talent, but I am just not interested in listening to it.  I grew up in a time where country music was the themes from "Dukes of Hazzard" and the "Fall Guy".  I guess, being a child of the 80s, I was just carefree.  I believe that even what is considered campy back then is different from nowadays.  Here are some of the songs that I have been listening to lately:

 "Midnight Rider" by Willie Nelson


 "On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson


 "Remember When" by Allen Jackson


 "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Alison Krause

"Us Against The World" by Play


There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world

I met someone the other night
Someone I really started to like
How will I know if he's right for me
I wonder if we are meant to be

Don't start to like him too much
Too soon

There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world

You know the boy I started to see
He thinks he can have it all for free
I wonder if he's the one for me
I try to talk to myself and to see

Don't start to like him too much
Too soon

There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world

There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world

Whenever you're near there is no fear
It feel's like there's nothing I can't do
You make me feel strong
'Cause it's here with you that I belong

There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that

There ain't nobody else but you
That makes me feel the way that I do
There ain't nobody else but you

There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world

There is no one else that I could say this to
And there is nothing better than to talk to you
If you have a problem, I'll be here for you
'Cause girl, you always know that
It's us against the world.
