who died and made you king of anything?

hi to my blog reading friends! I hope that you guys all had a wonderful day. my day started late...I woke up around 11:30am (I know...I'm a lazy bum) and then I began the incredibly dull process of applying to college. YAY! so I organized a bunch of college info for awhile and then sat down to watch about 4 episodes of Friends. I seriously wish that my life was like Friends...every episode is not only hilarious, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tight bond that all of the friends have. even though their lives aren't perfect, they always have eachother and every day is filled with so much love. I hope that when I grow up, I can have friends like that. It sounds so dumb, but that would make life so much more enjoyable. just to know a nerdy goon like Ross or a carefree ditz like Phoebe...that would make me SO happy! I'd say that I'm probably most like Monica just because of her insane organization and "type A" behavior, but I'm also like Rachel because I have zero common sense. I've sorta realized lately that my close group of friends feels a lot like the people on the show just because we each are unique and bring something special to our group. this year I really found my true friends, and when I'm with this group of girls, I feel so so so comfortable and happy and cannot believe how seriously amazing each of the girls is. I KNOW that every one of them will go far in life. that sounds silly but I don't even care because I love them. also sorry if you don't even watch the show Friends because this is probably so incredibly boring to you, but if by chance you do watch the show, then I hope that you appreciate this. and also you are a huge fool if you don't watch it because its GREAT! I just started watching last winter and I am addicted. okay...so for the song of the day; I chose King of Anything by Sara Bareilles. just like I love T Swift, I also am a huge fan of Sara. I don't know a ton of her songs...mostly just the popular ones, but the ones that I do know make me feel so empowered. King of Anything is definitely one of those songs that helps me when I am just pissed off at everything or sad or pitying myself. also; FUN FACT about Sara Bareilles...I once sang "Love Song" as a duet in an 8th grade talent show...I still know that harmonies and I would gladly do it again. alrighty so here it is folks...

King of Anything

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So, you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up onboard with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making masks
With my name on it in all caps
You've got the talking downJust not the listening

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I've tried
To make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe

ok so if you just read those lyrics you are probably feeling pretty damn powerful! GIRL POWER! no but actually, I love to belt this song and really feel the passion behind it. she's pretty much saying that even though so many people will try to influence you and tell you that they know best, sometimes you need to just trust yourself and put the other opinions aside. don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that advice from other people is bad. because I LOVE getting advice and giving it...I live for that. but in the end, you seriously need to trust yourself because you are the only person who knows everything about yourself. I tell one of my best friends everything about my life, and even though I feel like I fill her in on the most important things, I am sure that there are still things that she doesn't know. and in the end, even though I trust her with everything, I still am in control of my own life. I also think this is an awesome breakup song. when my ex boyfriend was acting really immature, I'd just listen to this song and smile to myself because what Sara is saying is so so so true. who in the world died and made him king of anything??? when he would bug me about stupid stuff, I would just remind myself that he is no better than me and that none of us have these magical crowns that give us the power to be obnoxious about our opinions. my favorite lines in this song are "Who cares if you disagree? You are not me. Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be" just because again, it simply states that no one has the right to treat you like crap and even though it's fine for people to have different opinions, they don't have to be annoying about disagreeing. ok sorry I could literally rant about this forever, but instead I will pity you and stop. BUT. I hope that you took something away from this blog; either that you need some interesting, quirky friends. or that you need to always trust your own opinion and remember that NO ONE wears a crown. not even the stinkin queen of England! ;)
