I love going back through my blog and finding stuff like this. Dear Taylor, I just finished watching the Grammy’s so first off congrats! I am so proud of you! It brought a few tears to my eyes seeing you win album of the year. Your slower version of You Belong With Me was incredible. I even watched the pretelecast online for three hours to see your nominations! Did you ever think...

To this day. To May 1, 2010. The closest I've ever been to Taylor. The closest thing to a meet and greet I'll probably ever have, that hug. Those 2 minutes of her singing right in front of me. The time when not everyone knew about T Party and it was obtainable. When Tim McGraw was on the setlist, when for about $160 I got two lower level seats to the show. When getting tickets wasn't...

I've pretty much had the worst luck ever when it comes to meeting Taylor, let's be honest you couldn't make this stuff up. I'm not going to go into it but if you read back on my blog I think part of it is explained there. 2012 has actually been the first year I haven't even seen Taylor in 4 years. It's become a tradition and going a whole year without seeing her, when it was one of the more...

Me at 16/2006 Taylor at 16/2006 Me at 22/2012 Taylor at 22/2012 Her debut album was released 6 years ago today. Let's just take a moment to think not just how her life has changed since then but how ours has as well. 6 years ago Taylor and I were kids, with dreams. While she reached hers, I had to see mine bitterly end. But she was there for me...

When a new Taylor song comes out I, like most of you, listen to it on repeat. But with Begin Again, I never stopped. I genuinely adore this song. I can't even describe how much I like it. I hesitate to call it one of my favorite Taylor songs ever, but I almost think it is. From the melody, the feel of today's country music, the James Taylor reference, to the fact that it is like a page out of...

...wasn't what I wanted at all. I've been holding out for my dream job out of college. I got the next best thing to it. I'm one step below where I want to be, which should be great. But why am I so miserable? From day one I knew my parents weren't exactly thrilled, they wanted more from me. But this is my way in the door, the closest thing to what I want, and I was happy. But after working a...

Scotty goes to my school, well the school I just graduated from, but I still spend a lot time up there. And since he lived a couple miles from there I saw him a lot last year as well. I used to say I'd love to meet him officially and all of that, but now I respect his desire to live a normal college life. We saw him tailgating the other day. Something I never thought would happen, but it was...

I'm in that crazy world of looking for a job after college. I have high hopes for what I want to do and the attitude that I'm not settling. I've never had a job I didn't love and I don't want the one that will be the biggest commitment to be the first. It's frustrating. To say the least. Things aren't out there, I"m watching people who I know I'm more qualified than get things that I could only...

Tonight as I write this I am taking a break from packing up my apartment, listening to Never Grow Up. Like usual, when I listen to that song I have tears streaming down my face. I graduated from college 2 months ago but I've stayed in my college town, working a part time job, and hanging out with my friends. But tomorrow the moving truck is coming and this world I've known the past 4 years is...

I always say things happen when they are mean to. Everything happens for a reason are the words I live by. Right now I'm doing everything I can to find a job. I had three opportunities come up that I thought were perfect. They were meant for me.One I interviewed for a didn't get even though I was "highly qualified". The other two I just submitted online, did everything I could to find an "in"...
