Elvis

I was having a little trouble thinking of a topic to write about today. So I figured write about what you know and love. My first thoughts were to write about my family but I don't think I'm ready to share with everyone yet. So I decided to write about Elvis. I have this love for him. I don't know where it came from. I can remember the first time I truly listened to an Elvis song. I was with my family. My dad and my brother were shopping in Tools R' Us while my mom, sister and I were waiting in the truck. I remember everything from that moment. We were in my dad's brown dodge truck. Mom in the passenger seat, me in the back with my sister to the right of me. I listened to "Dont." After that I was hooked. His voice had so much power and emotion. I listened to that song over and over. I took that cd from my dad's truck that night and listened to all the songs. Some got me dancing on my bed and overjoyed and others brought me to tears. I don't know where the connection came from all I know is that its strong. This is a memory that I will never forget. I know we have all heard a few Elvis songs but if you have time sit down, take time and truly listen I suggest "Suspicious Minds" or "It Hurts Me."
