In the deep

Hello everybody and indeed.

Welcome to my first blog. I thought I would take this opportunity to explain the name. Since this is the first one, I thought it fitting that the explanation would go here. This is going to be my "I just moved half way around the country to Los Angeles where I can tell everyone all at once what is going on so I don't have to repeat myself 50 times blog."

Since I now reside in the city of angels, I thought something related, like the title of Bird York's song, "In the deep" from last year's Academy Award winning best picture's (Crash, for the idiots) title song would be good since I love the song. Also, hence the outthereswimming url.

This was my favorite movie of last year. And now it is very appropriate. I feel sad and happy and relaxed and invigorated all at the same time when listening to this song much in the same way I feel all of those things here in LA, too.

I look forward to sharing with you all the many ups and downs of my many adventures here...

...until next time, -jenny

Lyrics below:

Thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don't see it coming, now
you can't stop yourself.
Now you're out there swimming...
In the deep.
In the deep.
Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you... Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
And now you're out there spinning...
And now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
And the silence,
or your secrets, well
raise a worry hand.
Well, you can pin yourself back together,
to who you thought you were.
Now you're out there livin'...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep...
Now you're out there spinning...
Now you're out there swimming...
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep...
