Insanity is a dish best served microwaved

This post has been brewing in my head for a while.  Now given that I have time to think this month, I thought it would be a good fun one to write.  John Mayer, if you love him or hate him, is a damn good song writer for guys.  It took me a trip to Europe to fully understand what his songs are saying.  Since then, they just click for me.  So I thought I’d share my world according to John Mayer.

When I’ve gone out on an emotional limb for someone and got burned:  My Stupid Mouth

This song was soothing for me when I decided to go out of someone and got rejected (I know it’s a surprise that anyone would reject me).  But it wasn’t the rejection that killed me that most, it was the back and forth that drove me nuts.  So for that the line “Just one more thing… why is it my fault” always sticks in my mind.

Living in the Moment:  Say

This is one of my favorite songs from him just because the message is so simple.  Just say what you need to say.  It’s such a simple idea that is sometimes the hardest thing to do in the world. 

Realizing that I screwed up:  Dreaming with a broken heart

I haven’t experienced this too much, but when I have screwed up and realized that it can’t be fixed this song comes to mind. 

When I feel like I’m growing up a little more:  In Repair

This is the one song that plays in my head the most since I’ve heard it.  Everytime I scab my knees, I realized that I’m still in repair.  I keep growing from the situation and I have more to learn.  I’m never going to be where I want to be, but I’m still working towards getting better.  “I’m not together, but I’m getting there”

When I’m missing someone I love: Comfortable

I know this song is about moving on to a new lover, but to me it’s about maybe the good times you had with the same person that you lost that connection.

Understanding where you in the world:  The Heart of Life

The Heart of Life really does explain that you are part of a bigger thing in the world.  How you treat others who love you does have a reflection on your character.  Also, being there for your love ones is more important than what material things you can give.

Living up to your dream:  Bigger Than My Body

Nothing is more inspiring to know that your dreams are bigger than you body can contain… so go out there and do something big. (:
