Gone Away From Me
For a while I sat there staring at her photograph
For a while I cried and tried not to make a scene
There was a time when we were young
I used to make her laugh
But life is long, my love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long, my love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long, my love has gone away from me
Lately I can't seem to find myself no sleep at all
Lately I just lie awake and hear and dream
Of the time when she was mine
Felt like I had it all
But life is long, my love has gone away from me
(chorus)
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is dead
Get it through your head and walk away
Yesterday is gone
Ain't no use hanging on to her memory
It only causes you pain
For a while I sat there staring at her photograph
For a while I cried and tried not to make a scene
There was a time when we were young
I used to make her laugh
But life is long, my love has gone away from me
(chorus)

Random but funny
The Lady: "What would you like to drink with that?"
Me: "sweet tea"
Jamie (from the back of the car): "you just told that lady your address was sweet tea?"
Me: "what?"
knowledge is key
He who has an ear, let him hear
Perjures the jurors Witness despised
Crooked lawyers False Indictments publicized
Its entertainment...the arraignments
The subpoenas High profile gladiators in bloodthirsty arenas
Enter the Dragon Black-robe crooked-balance
Souls bought and sold and paroled for thirty talents
Court reporter catch the surface on the paper
File it in the system not acknowledged by the Maker
Swearing by the bible blatantly blasphemous
Publicly perpetrating that "In God We Trust"
Cross-examined by a master manipulator
The faster intimidator Receiving the judge's favor
Deceiving sabers doing injury to they neighbors
For status, gratis, apparatus and legal waivers
See the bailiff Representing security
Holding the word of God soliciting perjury
The prosecution Political prostitution
The more money you pay.. the further away solution
Legal actors Babylon's benefactors
Masquerading as the agency for the clients
Hypocritical giants Morally non-compliant
Orally armed to do bodily harm
Polluted, recruited and suited judicial charm
And the defense isn't making any sense
Faking the confidence of escaping the consequence
That a defendant is depending on the system
Totally void of judgment purposely made to twist em'
Emotional victim blackmailed by the henchmen
Framed by intentions Inventions whereby they lynch men
Enter the false witness slandering the accused
Planting the seed openly showing he's being used
To discredit, edit, headed for the alleged
Smearing the individual fearing the unsuspected
Expert witness (the paid authority)
Made a priority to deceive the majority
Of disinterested peers Dodging duty for years
Hating the process waiting to be returning to their careers
Do we expect the system made for the elect
To possibly judge correct? Properly serve and protect?
Materially corrupt Spiritually amuck
Oblivious to the cause Prosperously bankrupt
Blind leading the blind Guilty never defined
Filthy as swine A generation inpure in it's own mind
Legal extortion Blown out of proportion
In vein deceit The truth is obsolete
Only two positions: Victimizer or Victim
Both end up in destruction trusting this crooked system
Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma
trying to own a piece of the "American Corona"
The Revolving Door Insanity every floor
Skyscraping, paper chasing What are we working for?
Empty traditions Reaching social positions
Teaching ambition to support the family superstition?
When the Son of Podition is Commander in Chief
The standard is Thief , brethren can we candidly speak?
Woe to the men trusted in the chariots dem'
Leaning on horses They run their intellectual sources
Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom
Confusion consumes them
Every word they speak it turns them out really white
Internally they absent of light trapped in the night and bonded to the Cain of the night
Under the curse Evil men waxing more worse
Faxing the first Angelic being cast to the earth
It's time for rebirth Burnin up the branch and the root
The empty pursuits of every tree bearing the wrong fruit
Turning me ill Let him who stole, no longer steal
Oh it's real Surrender for Jehovah is real
How long will you sleep Troubled by the thoughts that YOU keep
The idols YOU heap Causing the destruction you reap
Judgment has come Find it and return to the One
Abandon the flesh Self-interest: Broadway to death
Pride and the Greed Hide and subdividing the seed
The knowledge of Good and Evil is what caused us to lie
Caused us to die Let your emotions be crucified
Renounce all your thoughts Repent and let your mind be re-taught
You'll find what you sought...was based on the deception you bought
A perception of naught Where the majority remains caught
Loving a lie Not realizing in Adam, all die
-Lauryn Hill
Thought of the Day
I love this song by Ryan Adams....it seems so appropriate
Desire
Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The water's higher.
DESIRE
With no secrets, no obsession
This time I'm speeding with no direction
Without a reason, what is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
DESIRE
You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
DESIRE
Bath Time
Me: "what did you just say?"
JM: "you know, some people shave their pits"
Me: "Yeah, girls do, but boys don't"
JM: "Oh, why?"
Me: "well, do you like girls who have hairy pits?"
JM: "yeah I do"
Me: "oh, well maybe I'll stop shaving mine then"
JM: "wait, I meant I don't like girls with hairy pits"
So I've had the boys this whole weekend since Thursday night and tonight I took them out to eat at Texas Roadhouse (aka. "the peanut restaurant). Before we left I told John Michael to change his shirt because we had been at the zoo all day and it was dirty. (Which by the way at the zoo Jamie was chasing birds around and one pooped right on his forehead....hysterical!) So this is how John Michael came out of the room, gold chain and all........and he says to me "Stephi....I look fabulous." haha he cracks me up!
She was a good car, always faithful and reliable. If she could only write a book about all her adventures.....she's been more places than some people would ever dream of going. She has so many stories to tell. Eight good years we have had together, it was so sad to see her go. I felt like a parent abandoning their child. I had to shed a little tear.....I am sad to see her go. But there will never be another beauty like her. Here's to you Black Beauty.....ride into the sunset!!! You will be missed!
A couple things
2. My dream job: to be Jason Choi's back-up singer
3. Life continues to amaze me most everyday, even the bad ones and the sad ones. I love living, and loving, and people, and good times. I love dreaming and hoping and desiring. I love living life spontaneously even if I'm called "crazy" and "you really should get your head examined". I find it exciting not to know what's going to happen next and knowing that anything is possible. And yeah there are times when I wish life would go a certain way and when it doesn't it sucks, but I tend to think that maybe that means that something better is going to happen instead. I just feel so excited tonight, I don't know why, maybe something cool is going to happen.
I was listening to this song tonight on my walk and I love it, I was jamming
(coldplay)
How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.
All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand
Ideas that you'll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn't read,
or a light that I couldn't see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.
All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah when you see it then you'll understand?
All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,

To Shmoopie,
Man, this was such a good camping trip. Minus the slight hurricane that almost blew us and the tent out to sea. Yeah well, I guess there will be no more camping in the keys. Shmoopie these days will be but a memory. And by the way, I don't do couples camping.....it's out of the question, no offense Nathan. I can't believe my sis is getting hitched.....so much for growning old and being cat ladies. But seriously I am so excited for you and Natedog..but I can't help but to shed a little tear. My baby's all growns up! She's all growns up! Here's to the good times!
I'm watching you....
No, I'm watching you!
This is why I love kids
Today the girls that I have been baby-sitting this summer (Meaghan is 14 and Emilie is 8) declared it movie and pizza day on account of the gray weather. So, we headed out to Blockbuster to rent a movie and after we made our selection I made my way up to the check out counter to pay. While I am up at the register chatting with the man about this movie I wanted to purchase but he said he couldn't sell it to me because it was the last one on the shelf...yada, yada, yada....I go to swipe my card and from somewhere in the store I hear little 8 year old Emilie say (in her loud voice, which is pretty much the only voice she has)...."Britney Spears is outta control, I mean she has 2 kids. Did you know she dyed her wig black!" I think I about choked on my spit as I started laughing and the man who was checking me out looked at me and I looked over my should beyond the lady who was waiting behind me (who by the way was laughing as well) to sweet little Emilie standing in front of the magazine rack staring at one with Britney Spears on the front cover. Ahh I love how kids just say it like it is......
This is Emilie.
Two Tears in a Bucket
This summer has been strange but good I guess; story of my life really. Random thought: It's hard for me most of the time to understand the concept of having "long term goals" (or short term for that matter). Is it possible to not have goals? I don't know, but most of the time I don't know what I'm going to do in the future or near future. I don't know where I'm going to be or how life will change for me in the time to come. All I know is now and that life can change at a moments notice......and the fact that my attention span seems to be about one year, then I start getting board and I need to change things (hence moving back to Seattle). And all this is weird, scary and exciting at the same time. I am excited to see what happens, where life will take me. I am sad to leave all my amazing friends again, but at the same time most all of them are married and on the second child and if not married they're engaged or headed in that direction. I simply am not even close to that stage in life (not that I don't want to be, I think families are a beautiful thing), but I am learning to except the path that I have been given and make the most of it because as we all know life is constantly changing. I know there will eventually come a time when I wish I could just sleep in for 20 more minutes and I could take up the whole bed and not share my covers (as you can see sleeping is my favorite hobby next to movie watching.)
As for now, I'm very much looking forward to the move and just need to wrap up a couple loose ends and what-nots, but excited nonetheless. But this time it feels different though, I think maybe because in my heart I know that this is it for awhile. I think I'm starting to detach a little from everything, and I must say it's a little uncomfortable. But I need to do this and I want to do this and I feel like it is time to get going again. And by the way if anyone is up for an adventure the first week of Sept. I still have an opening in the passenger seat to drive out to Seattle...I'll be paying for gas, hotels and I will even pay for your flight back home....plus it's a really cool drive :) I will brive if I have too! Well, I have to say that even when life gets weird, long, and trying at times (especially those times when you feel like God is holding out on you)...it somehow always ends up being good if you trust and have faith that it will. And I do and I will endure whatever comes my way and I will be patient for as long as it takes and continue to have hope in the God who works for the good of those who love Him. Last thought: We are the children of the generation of the Tree of Life.
