Here's an idea you can try to remind you how magnificent and accessible the universe is. Next time you're stargazing, lie flat on your back so you feel physically stuck to the earth at length. Now instead of imagining you're looking UP at the stars, remember you're really looking OUT at them. Aren't we indeed simply stuck to the side of the planet anyway? When you look at a picture of earth, we're not necessarily on top of it. Nope. We're just stuck to the side of it; all of us just dangling out here on our sides of the rock. Lucky for us there IS gravity to keep us safe here. Gravity is like the yellow line they ask to stand behind when the roller coaster is about to pull into the station. Or it's the fence that keeps up from peering too far over the edge of the great canyon. Gravity is our seat belt protecting us from oblivion.

Also, when you're lying there looking out. Look down towards your feet and up past the top of your head and experience the great height at which we're floating. It's pretty far out.

Awesome. Yeah, it was interesting to read. While I was reading, though, I was waiting for something sarcastic to pop out at me. Oh well. _smile.gif

Wow, interesting read. You should become a philosopher. Yellow lines and fences make amazing analogies to gravity!

LMAO. It's about time someone figured it out. Actually Kaycee was the only person who sorta knew it was from Jason Mraz. You seriously don't know who Jason Mraz is Michelle? He's an awesome artist. His songs are pretty good. It was quite funny how everyone said how they enjoyed reading MY writing lol. I didn't say anything, and waited it out until someone finally found out.

I would say alternative/rockish with a little pop in it. I would say he sings songs like John Mayer, Howie Day, and Jack Johnson.

Oh.

No wonder I haven't heard of them! I don't like John Mayer that much, Howie Day is... er..., and I have no idea who Jack Johnson is. ^_^

You dont know Jack Johnson? He's got to be one of the best acoustic songwriters out there! He's my idol when it comes to learning new songs on the geeetarrrr.

check out his songs Banana Pancakes, and Better Together. Don't know if its your taste, but the songs are very lovely to the ears.
