The trials and tribulations of a young blood attorney.
"You know what? Yeah, maybe 99 out of 100 people will disappoint you. But I don't know....I think you find the magic of the world in the margin of error." --Hart of Dixie
I've been on quite a rock music kick lately (for no particular reason......maybe...). Anywho, my second week of studying for finals has brought me back to my roots. Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert (who actually WRITES for Jason Aldean--you'd know this if you knew anything), and one of my new favorite boys, Casey James, have been BLASTING out my windows (figuratively AND literally. Gonna need some new speakers for my comp......but that's neither here nor there.) I really like when I get back into my country goodness. It just feels so down home and right to the core, you can't help but love it :)
So in the midst of my attempt at "studying" for finals, I have also been on some of my crazy searches for some new good tunes. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes it's not. Either way, everyone is always like "Oh my gosh! Where did you find this stuff?" Obviously I can't tell them my secret. OBVIOUSLY.
Anyway, since my new playlist is just so kicka**, I decided to give you more than one song today. And by more than one, I mean five. (I wish you could see my face.)
ENJOY MY LOVELY LITTLE LADS!!!!

P.S. If you guys have already heard these I will just apologize in advance. I have been living under a rock. A very large, heavy rock. Whatever.
Kip Moore--"Crazy One More Time"
Aaron Lewis--"Tangled Up In You"
Casey James--"Undone"
Logan Mize--"Do You Wanna Be With Me"
(It's so freaking awesome there's not even a video for it! WHOA!)
Now I know what you're thinking, "But Jenny....this song is already on the radio. I've heard this before." And while that may or may not be true, it's still not YOUR song. It's MINE. So get over it. I always do.
I got the best compliment the other day. Totally not being full of myself either. I'm being 100% FOR SERIOUS.
While I was in the middle of another one of my wild and crazy life rants, dropping F-bombs like it was nobody's business, and making myself giggle all the while, one of my friends said: "Ya know....you haven't changed one bit!" Now....for some people....this might make them stop and reconsider what they're doing with their lives. But for me, for right now, it just seemed perfect :)
Jenny's been learning some life lessons lately. Mainly, what it's like to grow up and really become who you are. Actually.....now that I mention it.....that has been my new favorite quote:
"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."
--E.E. Cummings
Cheesy? Yes. Dumb? Absolutely not. It seems most of us get lost on this crazy, crazy ride and forget why we're really here in the first place. And what I've been reminded of lately, is why I'm here in the first place: to make my wildest dreams come true (: What I've also been reminded of lately, is that all it takes is for someone to believe in you. And I guess while I was out here doing all this so called "chasing," I had forgotten to believe in myself. A couple of speed bumps, a couple of Reese's McFlurries, and a fewww too many cases later (and no, I'm not talking about law school).....I think I'm back on track. It hit me while I was driving the other day (not literally HIT) how many amazing people I have in my life and how many of those amazing people believe in me. In ME. Smartass, ridiculous, outright annoying, crazy, obsessive, musically absorbed, and energetically charged ME. And you know what? That might just be the coolest thing ever.
So now that I've realized there really ARE people out there that support who I am and what I'm doing, I've been using it as my little motivational tool for studying. And guess what? Now I only have 3 finals left between me and summer and I'm feelin' like a rockstar! And now that I feel so fantastical, I would like to remind you how fantastical you are too. So....any words of wisdom for my fellow dream chasers out there? Youuuuu betcha.
Rule #1: Stick to your guns.
Rule #2: Never EVER stop chasing what you want in life.
Rule #3: Don't ever let someone talk you out of you (if that makes sense).
And Rule #4: Never, not for ONE single second, forget that there's someone out there who believes in you.
Because at the end of the day, that ONE, is all that it takes.
Now.........I shall leave you with my latest "dream chasing" song. I actually got told the other day that this is "SO a Jenny song." (I had no idea what that meant until I started doing my "Jenny" dance to the beat. Eek!)
ENJOY!

Mat Kearney--"Sooner or Later"
Lyrics:
We're all standing with our backs against the wall
Sooner or later
Waiting on a phone that never calls, at all
Heartbreak comes strollin' in like a storm
Sooner or later
Trying to swim but you're sinking like a stone, alone
