It’s impossible to pick one, currently I have a few…
"Swim" – Jack’s Mannequin
You've gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music
That saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far
To fall off the earth
The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim to brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
I swim
You gotta swim
Through nights that won't end
Swim for your families
Your lovers your sisters
And brothers and friends
Yeah you've gotta swim
Through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don't see their greed as a flaw
The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open now
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
Well I'm not giving in
I swim
You gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There's no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark
Yeah you've gotta swim
Don't let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you it's not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim, swim
Just keep your head above
Swim
"Littlething" – Jimmy Eat World
It's how I've often felt
When I find myself on nights like these,
Like Christmas Eve
From the empty office window
To the street outside
It's everything not to call
And find out why
On the cab ride you said nothing
Just hair all in your face
I was scared to name it
And nothing changed
So, I walked until I just couldn't
Too late I understood
It was always half invented
But the other half was good
Just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Could you be with me tonight?
There's a quiet dream
I'm not supposed to think
I know I shouldn't
Eating away at my mind
Could you be with me tonight?
"Electable (Give It Up)" - Jimmy Eat World
I came up like everyone, they taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say, and then from that they grade. Give up repeating the facts, fact could be arranged Here I am, I'll take my chance Now play the record straight.
Now give it up! Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh...
Talking points from talking heads with automated smiles There's no higher ground to stand than bottom of the pile. Give up acting unaware, you can't ignore the crime The enemy is you as well, the enemy is I
Give it up! Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh...
Not in my name, you don't speak for me I am my voice, and I want to scream You want my air, you want my life I act as one, but I'm not alone.
Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh... Give it up! Oh oh oh...
Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned:
I’ve learned that I can post an entry 30 days in a row, even if I had to get creative to figure it out. Other than that I haven’t learned much, it’s not like there were some hard hitting questions or anything.
I’m doing this 30 day challenge out of a bit of boredom. I’m, also, hoping it’ll help me journal regularly again and to become a bit more creative on how I go about it.
I think my friends are awesome and I love them to death! The girls I keep close are loyal, honest, protective, funny, caring, fun, challenging, loving, and a whole bunch of other great qualities. They are beautiful women who have blessed me by letting me share in their lives. Each of them have their own great personalities and amazing qualities.

Day 24 - A letter to your parents:Hum, It would have to go something like this…
Dear Parents,
Thank you for getting drunk & having sex 33 years ago. I very much appreciate it.
Cheers,
Kerri
Honestly, that’s all I’ve got. Writing a letter to my parents would be pointless. They aren’t around to read it and I don’t see the point of putting something like that out there for them in cyberspace.
I wrote a letter to my mom before she died, that’s good enough for me; even if she never got to read it. It’s been 16 years and there’s no point in dredging everything up. Besides, I’ve come to terms with a lot of things since then. If she’s around somewhere where she can know what’s in my heart then there really is no reason to write a letter anyway.
Writing a letter to a man I never met or knew much about would be utterly pointless. I barely gave him thought throughout my life and there’s no reason to give even a moment to someone who’s never meant anything to me, especially if it’s just so I could properly respond to today’s entry request.
Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying or being with in the future:
Call me crazy but I sort of see myself being with him in the future.
He drives me crazy most of the time but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even if that means there will be no less than 5 fishing polls & 2 tackle boxes lying around at all times.
