jj thames...naked.

"Grief is in two parts.  The first is loss.  The second is the remaking of life." -Anne Roiphe I'll be honest ( as usual) and say that I don't even know where to start this entry...*deep breath* I mean...okay... So, I'm kinda new to this whole blogging thing, and like my unconventional and sometimes extremely spontaneous self, just started writing and figured that I would figure out all of the ins and outs later. I guess today was later...because I JUST learned that  I needed to put labels on my posts so...*drumroll please* people could actually discover my blog! *ba dum ching* Don't judge me....you don't know my life. lol. Anyhoo...there's a point to this story...Today for the first time, I had to go back over almost 2 years of posts so that I could add labels. Of course to add proper labels, I had to read my previous thoughts, confessions, and the like...and boy..,did I feel...naked! Not ashamed...but, just really exposed...not to ya'...

"I want my music to be the soundtrack streaming under people's real everyday lives." -jj thames." I know ya'll have heard me say it a bazillion times now...but, my upcoming record is AMAZING!!! My band is AMAZING!! My label is AMAZING! My team is AMAZING! I am soooo very blessed. Truly, I do live a charmed life. It wasn't always that way...matter fact, my life was pretty crappy for a long time. Many things that happened to me weren't my fault. And, then there were the things that I was just plain ol' stupid, made HORRIBLE decisions, and deserved every bit of what I got. That's why I can write songs that people love, understand, and relate to. Cuz, I have lived a life that has been full of drama. drama. drama. I wouldn't change a thing though. Every painful experience only heightened my sensitivity to joy. When something good happens (and it does ALOT) I feel it deeper. My soul leaps, spins, and flips...My smile is genuine......
