Tune Therapy

I do music. I can't tell you how much of each day I spend listening to it, or how I feel without it. I looove love love YouTube for taking me through all of these songs recently. Nothing makes me happier than musical suggestions so send your recommendations my way, and you will officially move up on my Favorite People List.

"I am the captain of my soul"

Invictus

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

William Ernest Henley

100 Foods To Eat Before You Die

I found this list from The Daily Dish and thought it was something worth checking out and attempting! I'm known to favor traditionally boring American foods such as cheeseburgers, pizza, fries, and mac and cheese, so I'm trying to expand my pallet as I grow up! I think it will be fun to have some food-oriented goals to achieve in the future! As of today I scored 32/100! I'll have to start thinking of things I have eaten that would be good additions to this list for others to try out. Bon appétit!
