It's been a whlie

Just thought I would share the song of the day....it is by Zwan from the Mary Star of the Sea CD.....more to come later, I promise

I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe the love you talk about with me
is it true, do I care
honestly, you can try to wipe the memories aside
but it's you that you erase

'cause there's no place that I could be without you
it's too far to discard the life I once knew
honestly, all the weather storms are bringing
are just a picture of my dreams
'cause when I think of you as mine
and allow myself with time
to lead into the life we want
I feel loved, honestly
I feel loved, this honestly

I believe you mean the best that life can bring
I believe in it all
honestly, you can try
your heart is just as long as mine
is it ours to let go

'cause there's not place that I could be without you
it's too dark to discard the life I once knew
honestly, a single wrong is not enough
to cover up the pain in us
'cause when I think of you as mine
and allow myself with time
to lead into the life we want
I feel loved, honestly
I'll make a joke so you must laugh
I'll break your heart so you must ask
is this the way to get us back
I don't know, honestly
I don't know, this honestly

there's no place that I could be without you
honestly

there's no place that I could be without you
there's no place that I could gleam without you
there's no place that I could dream without you
there's no place that I could be without you
honestly

Starting to take care of me again......

So I have been working out for about three weeks now....my therapist says that it will help me feel better about myself....and it has worked. I have that good sore that you get upon working out and pushing your pain threshold. I know that it makes me feel better, if it makes my body look better, well that it up for debate...I don't really have much of a frame to work with, so putting on mass of any kind has never really worked for me. I think that I will always remain decently thin.....but at least I can kinda tone myself.
Anyway, to go along with working out, I thought well, why not try tanning, because in my line of work, I rarely see the light of day, so I went for the first time ever last night. I was kinda scared at first, because I have watched way to many movies where people get trapped in those things.....but as my time wore on, I found myself begin to relax, almost to the point where I was about to fall asleep. 10 minutes is all I was in there for, I think I could have gone longer because today I don't notice anything as far as color goes.....not even the slightest thing resembling redness, or color......I am decently dark skinned anyway, so I think that I can take a lot more than what they think I can.
Anyway, yeah, the place that I tan at.....Brown Buns......funny huh????

Today's random list of the day......top five favorite places I have been to....
1. BOSTON........home of the Red Sox, Cheers, and Clam Chowda......
2. Lincoln, Vermont one of the quietest places I have ever been to, I say quite only if you exclude the brook that runs along the side of town making the ever pleasant babble of water......it is awesome. The town is complete with a resident potter, and also happens to be the home town of my sister, who's house is nested in the shadow of a very tall mountain....it is just beautiful!
3. Laramie Wyoming area.......just gorgeous!
4. San Juan, Puerto Rico (Old Town) although some what dirty and a tourism trap, it is a very unique place to visit.
5. Keene, New Hampshire......where I was raised for a short period of time in my younger days. Love the place, during the fall you couldn't ask for a better place to be than right smack in the middle of the town square in the shadow of the church steeple.

Song of the Day, I heard this yesterday actually, sorry I am cheating a little, but it has stuck with me this long, I thought I would share....Tear by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.....

This is my time
This is my tear
I can see clearly now
That this is not a place
For playing solitaire
Tell me where you want me
This is my time
This is my tear

Comin' on strong
Baudelaire
Seems to me like
All the world gets high
When you take a dare
Let it rise before you
This is my cry

All in all and I'm
Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know

Devil may cry, devil may care
Distiller's got a scream
And now I know just why
When she's movin' air
Can you feel the voltage
This is my time

California skies
Got room to spare
This is my time

All in all and I'm
Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know
Oh, never know

Take it outside
Take it out there
Seems to me like
All the world gets high
When you take a dare
In the final moment
This is my time
All in all and I'm
Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know

Sense of humor.....
So I have been working at my new job for about three weeks now, and I have a few things to say about it.
One, I love my work.....absolutely love it. I have yet to get up and dread coming in to work.
Two, I work in a small office with 6 other people. Three of which I really only talk to, the others are in and out of the office. One is a good ol' boy....I say that because he starts everything off with he's a good ol' boy.
Another is pretty quiet but seems to be pretty cool. The other I work with a lot, and he doesn't seem to get my brand of humor what so ever. I keep asking him why he smells like cheese......he says, because I am around you so much. I don't know what that means really. He tells me I say some of the stupidest shit. That may be.....but at least it breaks up the routine office silence.
I asked him if he has ever tried Gooda cheese, he says what is gooda cheese, I say..well, it's cheese. He asks where does it come from, I say cows. I dunno, maybe someone just shat in his Wheaties today. The then tells me that I am far from normal......by who's standards? Where is there a clear definition of normal? I guess I'm not it, whatever it is, but he knows what it is....he should, being from Iowa and all, he knows all about normal I guess.

What is the deal with commercials featuring futuristic birds????

In my TV viewing as of late, I have noticed an increase in futuristic birds in commercials, why? I think that they are simply scary, I wonder how they are supposed to promote the product they are trying to get me to buy, or cater to.

Bird commercial number one......Burger King had some sort of crazy morphing chicken, going from a silhouette to a robotic chicken to the breaded chicken breast placed between lettuce and buns. Now, why doesn't my mouth water when watching this commercial? Funny, I always thought that robots posing as food = instant hunger......guess what Burger King ad wizards.....I'm still not hungry. In fact I doubt I will ever eat a robotic chicken sandwich from your place ever again.

Number two....now, granted I know that the purpose of commercials on music TV stations really aren't there to promote, but rather just make your mind turn to jelly and ooze out of your ear. However, those who can watch the music station FUSE will know what I am talking about. There is a little skit that shows a metallic bird bending over and letting some gas go......a mechanical bird fart. Um.......farting birds, followed by Good Charlotte's new video. Yep, makes sense to me, because I could careless if I heard either in my lifetime ever again. In this case the commercial kinda makes sense.

Neither of these examples will ever live up to the genius that is the Quizzno's Subs dancing rancid pork chop blabbing about how you can bring in any coupon for a dollar off. The pork chop is even so nice to remind you to beware of paper cuts. Now that my friends is a great ad!

Five things that piss me off today...
1. My work e-mail
2. The FDA wanting to put warning labels on anti depressants because of an increase in suicides by they people who use them.
3. News broadcasts.
4. My alarm going off in the morning.
5. Rap "music". I would rather listen to a bird shit it's self.

Song of the day Exploder by Audioslave.....hey my nephew...you know who you are.....you need to get Audioslaves CD.....it is great rock. If you don't get it, I will get it for you, because I think you would appreciate it.

Met a man locked away
for things he hadn't done
innocence on a ball and chain
never feel the sun
a grin on his face
roses in his hands
but when he smiled at me
I could understand

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're out right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear at all

there was a daughter of a man
took his life too young
she swore she'd never do those things
then did just what he'd done
and a boy whose gone insane
voices in his head
no one knows what they say
now his mothers dead

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear at all

cuttin me down
cuttin me down

there was a man who had a face
it looked a lot like me
I saw him in the mirror and I fought him in the street
then when he turned away I shot him in the head
then I came to realize I had killed myself

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear

cuttin me down and
cuttin me down

So I wrote a little something yesterday, but due to me being click happy, I think that I deleted it somehow. Anyway, I will attempt to write what I wrote yesterday.
Anyway, I come from another place (blog) please feel free to visit http//white.tblog.com. Shameless plug, yup that's me!
So this past weekend I went to the movies twice, Friday it was Dawn of the Dead. Sunday it was The Passion of The Christ.
Dawn of the Dead was everything that I thought it would be, a fresh remake of the classic. However, lots more blood and explosions. Plus, most of the movie took place in a mall. A mall???? I guess it kinda makes sense, since you have every thing there that you would need, clothes, food, etc. Chainsaws in moving vehicles, are bad ideas, no matter what anyone tells you, keep that in mind.
Next The Passion of The Christ, and all I can say is WOW! Seriously, I can't say much about it other than, 1. it is just flat out gory. 2. after watching you will want to go to church. However, since it was about 5:30 by the time the movie got out Sunday, I opted to go to a local restaurant for some beer and chicken fingers instead.
So those are my movie reviews for the weekend.

I was walking out of a local grocery store the other day and there was a sign on the door that said "no pets allowed in the store." Hmmmm, I might be missing something, but maybe, just maybe, they should put that on the door as you are going in, but who am I to say really?

If you were to visit my other blog, you would see that I offer a song of the day that just kinda represents my mood for the day, or just gives lyrics to a song that catches my attention for the day. Today it is Exit Music (for a film) by Radiohead off the OK Computer CD, one of the best collection of songs ever assembled. If you don't have it, get it!

Wake... from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today.. we escape
We escape.

Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before.. all hell.. breaks loose.

Breathe... keep breathing
Don't lose.. your nerve.
Breathe... keep breathing
I can't do this.. alone.

Sing us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill
Such a CHILL.

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope that your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one
In everlasting peace

We hope that you choke.. that you choke
We hope that you choke.. that you choke
We hope that you choke.. that you choke
