DUSTY SANDERSON

     My Cousin, Dusty, is the lead singer of the local band, "Southern Drifters". He writes most of his songs, although he does some covers of famous Artists. He has dreams of making it far in the music industry. Singing and playing guitar are his life. When I go out to hear him sing, his songs make me THINK, and they inspire me. Here soon, he plans to pack up and head to Nashville, TN to make a name for himself. I am very proud of Dusty and the hard work he puts in to entertain fans, family, and friends. God blessed Dusty with a great singing voice and a talent for songwriting. I pray and hope his dreams will be full-filled. If you wanna hear him and the band, Southern Drifters, come to Chan's Nightclub this Saturday Night 3/31/12 at 9pm. It's a damn good time and I promise, you won't be disappointed.

xxox.

Damn Right .

Damn Right
(James Otto / Monty Powell)  *I changed up the lyrics a bit (i.e. He/She)*

You can always find me here
Raisin’ hell and drinkin’ beer
With all my good-time buddies
Cuttin’ up and havin’ fun
Yeah the jokes can be on me
And I don’t mind usually
I’m an easy-goin’, back-slappin’ son of a gun,
But he just left me
And that’s just left me undone
So you don’t want to push your luck girls, not tonight
Just don’t bring up his name one more time

If you think I’m in the mood to pick a fight
You’re damn right

He’s gone and I admit I was wrong
But I can’t quit
Thinkin’ about how good our love used to be
And the whiskey numbs the pain
But in the morning when I wake
I’ll be hungover hangin’ on to a memory
And I’ll order one more round
Lose the Coke and keep the Crown
And just drown my misery
And I’ll blind myself with liquor and neon lights
Alone and stoned out of my mind

If you think I’m flyin’ high as a kite
You’re damn right

Now I’m just tryin’ to make it through
But gettin’ over you is a long, long road
And I’m a strong woman, but it’s killin’ me
Lettin’ go
And I’d love to say it ain’t, but I can’t lie
Yeah pretend that I got somethin’ in my eyes

If you think I’m gonna break down and cry
You’re damn right

You’re damn right

Ventilation .

     I need to vent for a moment. (or several moments)... So, I took my niece to a park today. It is near Summitt Blvd and in a nice neighborhood as well. I sat down on the bench as she ran off to play on the playground. Well, I look closely at the pirate ship playground and there is a guy and a girl sitting there in front of the swirley (sp?) slide. At first I thought it was just a guy. I figured he just needed some time to think or something. Well then I noticed a female with him. Both of them had to of been 15 years old. The guy then lays down in the girl's lap. Keep in mind, my niece is seeing this. I was LIVID. I do not want my niece to see that type of behavior and think it is okay at her age. A PARK for kids is not a place to lay in your girlfriend's lap or have any PDA! Have you lost your ever loving mind? I wanted to say something so bad but I try to watch my behavior around my niece. Maddy and I love this park and I ended up saying "Let's GO!!!" Does anyone else think this is wrong? Find somewhere else to be affectionate!!!! Not in front of my 5 year old niece!!!!!!

I feel much better.

Her name is Ashton...

     The ocean is my sanctuary. Sunrises, sunsets, and rainbows remind me of the promises given to us from the Lord. My favorite color is green. Not lime green, forest green. I have green eyes. I am a Leo but, I don't believe in "astrology signs". Yet, I still read my horoscope from time to time just to see if it's accurate. I was born Catholic and baptized Catholic. I became Baptist when I was in the 2nd grade. I never had my First Communion, even though I was awfully close. My Granddaddy was a Deacon at St. Ann's Catholic Church. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful Church in Pensacola. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Personal Lord and Savior when I was 12 years old at Olive Baptist Church. I have never flown. I have been to 8 states. I am petrified of severe weather. A rainy day is great but not crazy thunder and lightning and definitely not wind. I really think something tragic happened to me as a young child because of my fear of bad weather. I still get knots in my stomach when a storm is brewing. I do not believe in taking a belt to a child due to things that happened to me when I was little. (My Mother nor Father has ever struck me with a belt just to clarify things, but someone else has). It makes me cringe when I see it. I also hate to see a child on a "leash". I am a sarcastic person. I've learned as I grow older, I become closer to my Parents. I realize/d they were/are right all along about things. I have only seen snow several times. I cannot live somewhere without a beach. Anyone who knows me knows I love to get sunburned. I barely ever wear sunscreen, only oil. My hair is super long and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am addicted to Teen Mom 2, (the one with Leah). I absolutely adore her. Weddings make me cry. Always. I am a jeans and t-shirt type of girl. I have to have my toes painted always. I am guilty of thinking that Zac Efron is the sexiest man alive along with Bradley Cooper. My favorite song is "Give in to Me" by Garrett Hedlund & Leighton Meester. I wish God had blessed me with a beautiful singing voice. I am a morning person but I quit drinking coffee about two years ago. Thanks to Disney movies, I am waiting for a Knight in shining armor who will fight for me. Deep down, I want a country boy who drives a truck and knows how to hunt and skin a buck. I would also like for a man to teach me how to fish. I love boating, even though I haven't done it in forever since my Dad sold his boat. I have one tattoo and I will be getting another one. Most of my days are spent taking care of two precious kids. I don't have big dreams for my life. Just to be HAPPY. Hopefully that involves a loving Husband, a family, and a place to call home. I would love to be a Mommy one day. Hopefully before I'm 30. I love naps. But, not when a stupid solicitor rings the doorbell and wakes me up. Or a Jehovah's Witness for that matter.

That's all for now.
XOXO.

Uppers & Downers .

     Well, I didn't get my dream job as a Crime Scene Technician at the ECSO. I was lucky enough to be chosen for an interview. Who was I kidding, I was going up against about 80 applicants. Some of which probably had experience, a degree, or answered the interview questions better than I did. But even still, in my heart, I knew I wasn't going to get it. It's not that I'm pessimistic...I'm just realistic. And I firmly believe that God has plans for me that may not involve the Sheriff's Office. IF I had gotten the job, I would have been on cloud nine. Literally. I have such a passion for CS and I don't know why. My Father used to be Head of Crime Scene and I would always want to go visit him and look at photos or read about cases. Never have I watched a CSI episode on TV, though. Wow, think of the amazing things that would have come out of me getting the job. WAY MORE MONEY which means MOVING into my own place...benefits...an awesome job that wouldn't make me want to throw my alarm clock at the wall every morning... and helping victims. The dead cannot speak for themselves. I won't give up on this dream of mine. I will continue to search the website for job openings and keep praying for an interview and possibly a chance at what I want to do as a career. In the meantime, I get paid to watch the most precious little boy ever born. I get to spend my days tickling a little boy and making him laugh so hard, and I get to watch him learn new things and say new words. I am not a Mother, but yet I have two carseats in my backseat. I am helping my Sister not have to pay for daycare and that is comforting in itself. I do not want my nephew in daycare. Yes, I'm being selfish. I want to watch him. I also get to take/pick Maddy up from school. I get to hear stories about what she did that day, what she learned, who ticked her off that day, and who wore what to school. I talk to her like a grown-up and I firmly believe that is why she speaks so well. We (my family) do not babytalk her. She is so smart and I cannot believe how amazingly blessed I am! What did I do to deserve such wonderful gifts from God??? All of my glory goes to Him. My Creator, my Strength, my Provider, my Friend, My Father, My EVERYTHING.




Good night.
XOXO,




Ashton
