FRIDAY SONG

Her Eyes
Pat Monahan

She's not afraid; she just likes to use her night light
When she gets paid, true religion gets it all
If they fit right.

She's a little bit manic, completely organic
Doesn't panic for the most part.

She's old enough to know, and young enough not to say no
To any chance that she gets for home plate tickets to see the Mets.
Like everybody, she's in over her head,
Dreads Feds, Grateful Dead, and doesn't take meds.

She's a Gemini Capricorn
Thinks all men are addicted to porn.
I don't agree with her half the time,
But, damn I'm glad she's mine.

Her eyes, that's where hope lies.
That's where blue skies
Meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go
When I go home.

She got the kinda strength that every man wishes he had.
She loved Michael Jackson up until he made Bad.

Tells me that she lives about a hundred lives,
Scares me to death when she thinks and drives,
Says cowboy hats make her look fat,
and I'm so glad she's mine.

Her eyes, that's where hope lies.
That's where blue skies
Meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go
When I go home.

She doesn't know the word 'impossible'
Don't care where I've been and doesn't care where we're goin' to.
She takes me as I am, and that ain't easy.
She's beautiful. So beautiful.

And sometimes I think she's truly crazy.
And I love it.

Her eyes, that's where hope lies.
That's where blue skies
Always meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go
When I go home.

Her eyes, that's where hope lies.
That's where blue skies
Always meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go
When I go home.

She's not afraid
she just likes to use her night light.

Wednesday Ramblin’s

I got a puppy in September, he’s a Yorkie. His name is Baxter.

My kids are 8 and 6 now. They play football, basketball and baseball. They are on 2 different teams because of the 2 year age difference. Basketball ends the middle of March. Baseball starts the first of April. It stops the end of July. Football starts the first of August and goes through the end of November. Basketball begins in November. Did you see a break in there? No? Me either.

I think I’ve mentioned the last 6 months of 2007 were a bit stressful for me. I put on a few pounds. So I made a New Years Resolution to lose the weight. I joined a gym. I just knew I was going to hate it. I was wrong. (See, I can admit when I’m wrong) I absolutely love it and the days that I don’t get to go, I’m bummed. I’ve lost about 5 lbs so far, average about 1 lb a week. I was really hoping for 2-3 lbs a week so if you have any ideas, feel free to let me know!!!

I apologize for not reading y’alls blogs lately. If you remember, I had a very ancient computer…….well it died. So I only get to read up on everyone if I visit the ol’ parents……which means my blog visits are few and far between.

Keeneland is less than 2 months away. I’m sure everyone has made plans to attend.

We’re also going to Louisville in a couple of weeks for the Goose’s b-day. Howl at the Moon here we come!!! I’m sure I’ll see you there, too.

Hmmmm…….here’s about the time where I would put in some random song lyrics and see who could guess what song…..hmmmmm…..

Am I the only one who kinda feels sorry for Britney?

she said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
and I don't know if I've ever been really loved
by a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's
gonna give
and I'm a little bit angry, well

So I got this Ipod thingie as a gift. Ask me if I know how to use it? Nope. Ask me if I wish I could figure it out? Yep.

Ok, well I’m done rambling’ for the moment.
Happy Humpin’ Blogland!!!

Friday Song

Heaven
Warrant

I've got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded,
It's looking pretty worn.
See the factory that i worked
Silhouetted in the back.
Memories are grey, but man they're really coming back.

I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as i'm the hero of this little girl

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
And no matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way

How i love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside the night like a blue suburban sky
When i come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
Now i wrap my arms around you so i can feel you breathe

I don't need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
And no matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way

Now the lights are going out,
Along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But im never giving up on you

Save Yourself

I used to think I could save people. That if I cared enough, tried hard enough, gave up on my own desires to help them, then I could save them.

It's a myth.

You can't save people. I know that now.

Taking responsibility for your own mistakes, your own failures is a must. Nothing will ever be different as long as the excuses keep coming for why things are the way they are.

We've all overcome issues and past hurts. I admire anyone who has faced struggles head-on and bettered themselves. What annoys the hell out of me are those individuals who blame their parents, blame what happened in childhood, blamed something that happened in their teenager years or young adult life as to why they will never be happy or make good choices.

It's always somebody else's fault. It's always "they made me do it"........gimme a break.

Let's face reality, you're an adult. Sure bad things happen but its your choice of how you grow from that. Bad luck happens but changing that luck only depends on the choices you make. Quit making excuses of why you're broke and can't afford to support yourself, quit making excuses of why you aren't happy with you, quit making excuses of why you're overweight, quit making excuses of why you cheated, quit making excuses of why you can't change your future, quit waiting for someone else to make you happy and give you what you want.

DO IT YOURSELF.

I bet, if you actually try to do something for yourself that would be the first step in finding contentment and accomplishment within.

I can't save you and neither can anyone else.

"You are in control of YOU, make good choices that YOU can benefit from."
