this is for you.....
"Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye"

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.

When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.

Another Vanessa

This story caught my eye in the news today. Vanessa Aube of Calgary, who was staying with friends in Nepal, has not been heard from by her parents since prior to the terrible earthquake there yesterday. Please pray for her, too. I am including her photo; if anyone knows her current situation, please contact her parents via the press.

 

Vanessa

Praying for a young missionary who was in a serious car accident in India. Her name is Vanessa, and she's in my cousin's group in The World Race. I know very few details, but please pray for the young lady and her family, or send good energy, if you're not a pray-er.

One of my favorite songs of the past year.....

Blank Space
Taylor Swift

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

[Pre-Chorus]
So it's gonna be forever

You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain

Yom Hashoah

Here are the two Holocaust victims I said Kaddish for this morning: Mario Finzi and Irmgard Rosenberg.

Mario Finzi died at Aushwitz; Irmgard Rosenberg died in the Minsk ghetto. Both were Jewish.

Friday Night

Ugh. It's Friday night, and I'm bored mindless. I've even tried sleeping, to no avail. It's depressing. Right now, I'm eating Skyline chili and bitching. I feel terrible. I don't know what to do. I wish I had enough Ativan to sleep all the time.....

Opening Day 2015

First off, I want to say, "Go Reds!" Secondly, I'm on my second strawberry margarita, so this post will be brief. Just a photo of me, with my drink, in my Reds regalia.

Never seen these before.....

 

Good Person Inside

I know I've been posting a lot of lyrics lately, but this one, from 1995, cracks me up....
"Good Person Inside"
Jill Sobule

I know everyone's a good person inside
Everyone wants just to be loved inside
So whenever I think how you wasted my time
I try to remember the good things inside

Well, you haven't killed anyone as far as we know
And you seem very nice to your sister
You have very good taste in clothes and guitars
An' very young girls

I know everyone's a good person inside
Everyone wants to be loved inside
So whenever I think, what a dick, what a liar
I try to remember the good things inside

Well, your smile is as wide as Montana
And your eyes as deep as the Caspian sea
Well, I guess these don't count as the things from inside
But these are the things that made me blind
These are the things that made me blind

What I was thinking
I wasn't thinking at all
If I knew what I did today
Would I make the same mistake?
Probably would

'Cause your hands are as big as Montana
And your lips as sweet as red vines
Well I guess these don't count as the things from inside
But these are the things that made me blind
These are the things that made me blind

Your as sharp as a tack, your as loyal as a cat
You were great in the sack even if you have hair on your back
You made me weak at the knees, gave me no disease
What more could I ask, I won't dig deeper then that

La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la

These are the things that made me blind
These are the things that made me blind
Your smile is as wide as Montana
An' your eyes as deep as the Caspian sea
Well, I guess these don't count as the things from inside
But these are the things that made me blind

La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la

Another Song

Lionel's song:


"A Sorta Fairytale"
on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it
as long as i could
i could not erase it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i ride along side
and i rode along side
you then
and i rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
and i rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

i could pick back up
whenever i feel

down new mexico way
something about
the open road
i knew that he was
looking for some indian blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we're just
impostors
in this country you know
so we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
oliver stone
till i
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
i don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
these guys think they must
try and just get over on us

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and i was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the rear
view
you lost me
i said

way up north i took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and i put the hood
right back where
you could taste heaven
perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
and i, i don't
didn't think
we'd end up like
like this
