My top three favorite songs of all time(well, so far at least) are High School Never Ends By: Bowling for Soup, Big Girls Don't Cry By: Fergie, and You Belong With Me By: Taylor Swift
High School Never Ends is meant to be a funny song about graduating from high school and all leaving behind all the things like the popular kids, the geeks, and the other "groups" of people to find out that the world outside high school is just the same. The band compares famous people and actors to high school students. The song compares the quarterback to Brad Pitt because, usually, the football teams' quarterbacks are hot, and Brad Pitt is known to be hot. Reese Witherspoon is called the prom queen, Bill Gates is the captain of the chess team, and Jack Black is the clown. The song also says that the world outside high school also has people with eating disorders, who dresses the best, who's rich, who goes clubbing, who's on drugs, etc just like the kids in high school.
Big Girls Don't Cry is about a woman who is in love with a man but can't be with him because she has to go out on her own to find out what to do with her life. I love the tune, the melody, and the meaning. She says that she had a lot of fun with her man, but she has to go away for herself and that that has nothing to do with him. She explains that she has to straighten out her life, but she will still love her lover. The chorus is the part I love the most about the song. In the parts in between the chorus, she explains how she spends time with her lover in the form of two children playing in a playground, and at when it starts to get dark she has to go home. It gives the song a little extra "touch."
You Belong With Me is about a girl who is in love with her neighbor, but he has a girlfriend already. She wonders why he sticks with his girlfriend because she sees him arguing on the phone with her all the time. She wonders why he can't realize that he should be with her but he doesn't know that she is in love with him. The boy's girlfriend is a cheerleader and she loves to dress fancy while this girl dresses in regular clothes and is just an average girl. The music video shows that eventually, the boy realizes that he doesn't belong with his girlfriend and that he is in love with his neighbor too.

if i could bring one person back to life....
If I could bring one person back to life, it would be my uncle, Arthur(Art) Wuest. He was one of the nices men I ever knew. He married my dad's older sister after she divorced her first husband with whome she had a son and a daughter. When she married my uncle Art, her children were very young and my uncle adopted them as his own.
My uncle was funny, smart, and outgoing. He was in his 70's and was always up to doing anything. If my uncle Art were still alive today I would want him to be here on Saipan making me laugh by telling me his funny jokes and stories, and going out for walks with me on the beach side.
We would go swimming in our swimming pool with my whole family and have nice family dinners with him talking and telling his old stories and jokes along with my dad. I miss seeing his funny smile. I also wish he were alive to be with my aunt who now lives all alone at the age of 80.
I can see in my mind him sitting on the beach chair beside the swimming pool with my aunt right next to him and me swimming in the pool beside them.
I usually don'l like hearing old stories, but if um uncle were alive, I would be listening to him and my dad telling old stories to each other and to everyone at the table. We wouuld go out to dinner and I would show him all my favorite things to eat. I would show him and my aunt how I play tennis, volleyball, and dance polynesian dances. I can picture him smiling at me from the sidelines, and when I would finish I would run up to him and listen to him tell while he tells my what he thought.
The things I miss most about him are his funny smile and his outgoingness. After he passed, I say a star up in the sky right above my house. I noticed it would appear every night right in the same spot. I knew from then on it was my uncle watching over me. I know he is gone, but really he is still here-in my heart.

My cousin's getting married!
My closest blood-related cousin is getting married! She has a one-year-old baby with the man she is going to marry and they waited this long. I've been wondering when it was going to happen. And just a few days ago i found out that they are going to get married at my house by the swimming pool and she wants me to be her maid of honor. =) I've never done that before. But she made me the first godmother of her baby, my nephew, EJ. And now i have 2 god-kids. My sister's best friend's first baby boy and Penny's first baby boy. So I guess it won't be that hard. It's going to be in just a few days! I still feel it's kind of wierd after her having EJ for a year and now being married, but I'm happy for her as long as she's happy for herself. Now I'm going to have a seconed experience at something that would normally be an adult's job!
