nice

This is in response to a comment left by an anonymous writer. It is a follow up from a post called… songs I live with right now.

I just wanted to be sure you got my reply.

Wow I’m really glad that I don't carry around as much hostility as you do. Thanks for the correction. The song was given to me on a mix cd. I was told that was who sang it. I will do my research next time. By the way perhaps you should actually get to know a person or ask why they stated something before you lash out in anger. Not to mention categorize them with a public figure you obviously have no respect for. If you want to be a hard ass do it somewhere else. There are enough assholes around we don't need any more here thanks.

Next time at least use you actually name….

They

Jem

Who made up all the rules
We follow them like fools
Believe them to be true
Don't care to think them through
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this
And it's ironic too
Coz what we tend to do
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this
Who are they
And where are they
And how can they possibly
Know all this
Who are they
And where are they
And how can they possibly
Know all this
Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss
Who are they
And where are they
And how do they
Know all this
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss
And who are they
And where are they
And how can they
Know all this
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this

interesting i do like sunsets


***You Are Sunset***

Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you've accomplished a lot in life.And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you're not even sure where it will take you.Maybe you'll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years.Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far!

happenings




happenings

a lot of things have happen but only a few of note

my dearest lady died two months ago....if you don't already know lady was my dog. She was 12 years old when she passed from a blood clot. this is the only picture of her that i have on my computer. bridgette took it christmas morning 2005. i am not going to try to explain how much she meant to me and how cool of a dog she was bc i don't feel like crying tonight but you should know that she was the best!

my parents got a new puppy a few weeks ago....
not sure how i feel about that but from what i hear the new pup is a little rascal. his name is clyde and he is a black and sable collie

i received a job promotion. i am now an operations lead in training...i am basically learning how to run the store from behind the scenes which as is turns out is harder then it looks.

my car has broken down twice

the grey's anatomy season finally made me cry my eyes out! i can't believe denny died!!! if you haven't seen it yet sorry if i gave away the ending

i am trying to finish the divinci code before the movie comes out on the 19th

i think its funny that people are boycotting the film.....people are so narrow minded

i went to my first harley davidson biker/ cinco de mayo party in topeka kansas...i met some very interesting charecters and danced a bit of salsa

if you are looking for an interesting book to read try heaven's mirror by graham hancock it kinda makes you wonder about what you've been taught and what's actually the truth...i am secretly hoping someone i know will read it so i can discuss it and not have to revert to an online chat about the book...

i am considering an audition for west side story...but that would keep us out here awhile...hmmm what to do?

awake in the night

who knows why I can't sleep.... it could be any number of things.... I will choose to blame it on the fact that for some odd reason I miss Pittsburgh terriblely...it's April now and I have been away for a couple of months. I believe that it is just starting to set into my bricked-up heart and mind that I have completely started a new chapter in my life. All of the patterns I have been so use to have been broken...good and bad....I miss them equally. I would normally be walking around the waterfront after a late movie at Lowe’s (taking for granted the scent of a Pittsburgh spring) wondering how long I was going to end up at eat n' park this time. It sounds funny I know but I miss it. I can not stand eat n'park and their smiley cookies that taste like cardboard.... and yet everyone buys them. The seasons didn't really change out here in Kansas...it just got warmer....very depressing. Although Kansas has not treated me all bad, the area is flourishing and opportunity is all around me.....unfortunately I was never good at embarking on any opportunities that came my way....I think I more enjoyed discussing them over a breakfast smile and dreaming of the good fortune they might bring my way. you may think I didn't take any chances out of fear and you are probably right...although I blame most of it on habitual neglect of welcoming change into my life.... well change has found me and I now stare into his eyes everyday...I must admit it is kinda scary facing a new city everyday....but change has afforded some great opportunities...now if I could only find a 24 hour restaurant where I could revel in the possibilities.

the engine driver lyrics

Artist:
The Decemberists
Album:
Picaresque
Title:
The Engine Driver

I'm an engine driver
On a long run, on a long run
Would I work beside her
She's a long one, such a long one

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

I'm a country lineman
On a high line, on a high line
So will be my grandson
There are powerlines in our bloodlines

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones My bones

I'm a money lender
I have fortunes upon fortunes

soundtrack of my day

between the bars
the engine driver*
rain-patty griffin
we will become silhouettes
be careful-patty griffin
such great heights
carry me -patty griffin again
brick
casimir pulaski day
the man of metropolis steals our hearts
red red wine
against all odds-postal service

its not a mix just some songs i am loving today

If you haven't heard the engine driver by the decemberists....do yourself a favor and listen to it
