Once in every life...

jodi33 — Sun, 24 Oct 2004 16:12:40 GMT

Once in every life
Love should leave you without a choice
Where the only thing right
Is to follow that still small voice

Once in every day
It should take your breath away
Once upon a time
Should happen once in every life

Once you give it your heart
Without holding back your soul
You can dance in the dark
Cause you're never there alone

Once in every hour
You should feel the healing pow'r
Once upon a time
Should happen once in every life

Once its stronger than you
There's nothing else you can do
You stop asking why
Just let yourself fly

Once in every life
Love should feel so good you cry
And your only release
Is releasing three small words

Once you hear them aloud
You'll feel heaven coming down
Once upon a time
Should happen once in every life

Once upon a time
Should happen once in every life

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.....it is really an exhausted chicken moving on to try to find happiness...

Fallen...

jodi33 — Tue, 18 May 2004 13:17:02 GMT

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
THe past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Ruskin: art critic/artist/poet...

jodi33 — Sun, 16 May 2004 12:49:58 GMT

"All beautiful works of art must either intentionally imitate, or accidentally resemble natural forms"

"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one."

(his business)"is not now to distinguish between disputed degrees of ability in individuals, or agreeableness in canvases; it is not now to expse the ignorance or defend the principles of party or person; it is to summon the moral energies of the nation to a forgotten duty, to display the use, force and function of a great body of neglected sypathies and desires."

"With this kind of bodily sensibility to colour and form is intimately connected that highter sensibility which we revere as one of the chief attributes of all noble minds, and as the chief spring of real poetry. I believe this kind of sensibility may be entirely resolved into the acuteness of bodily sense of which I have been speaking, associated with love, love I mean in its infinite and holy functions, as it embraces divine and human and brutal intelligences, and hallows the physical perception of external objects by association, gratitude, veneration, and other pure feelings of our moral nature."

his description of cirrus clouds...
"They are nearly always arranged in some definate and evident order, commonly in long ranks reaching sometimes from the zenith to the horizon, each rank composed of an infinite number of transverse bars of about the same length, each bar thickest in the middle, and terminating in a traceless vaporous point at each side; the ranks are in the direction of the wind, and the bars of course at right angles to it; these latter are slightly bent in the middle. Frequently two systems of this kind, indicative of two currents of wind, at different altitudes, intersect each other, of excessively fine, silky, parallel fibres, common radiating, or having a tendency to radiate, from one of their extremeties, and terminating in a plumy sweep at the other; these are vulgarly known as "mare's tails". The plumy and expanded extremity of these is often bent upwards, sometimes back and up again, giving an appearance of great flexibility and unity at the same time; as if the clouds were tough, and would hold together, however bent. The narow extremity is invariably turned to the wind, and the fibres are parallel with its direction. The upper clouds always fall into some modification or other of these arrangements. They thus differ from all other clouds in having a plan and system; whereas other clouds, though there are certain laws which they cannot break, have yet perfect freedom from anything like a relative and general system of government. The upper clouds are to the lower, what soldiers on parade are to a mixed multitude: no men walk on their heads or their hands, and so there are certain laws that no clouds violate; but there is nothing, except in the upper clouds, resembling symmetrical discipline."

Artist: Hoobastank
Song: The Reason

I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

It's all for you baby girl...mommy loves you

The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.

billy joel anyone?

jodi33 — Fri, 16 Apr 2004 20:23:19 GMT

for the longest time
billy joel

if you'd say goodbye to me tonight
there would still be music left to write
what else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
that hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
now I know that happiness goes on
that's where you found me
when you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time

I'm that voice your hearing in the hall
and the greatest miracle of all
is how I need you
and how you needed me too
that hasn't happened for the longest time

maybe this won't last very long
but you feel so right
and I could be wrong
maybe I've been hoping too hard
I've gone this far
and it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
maybe I'll be sorry when your gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
hold on to your heart
now I know the woman that you are
you're wonderful so far
and it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what concequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you oughta know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem...why are you crying

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect

threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i looked right through
to see you naked but oblivious
you don't see me, but i threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.
here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see, see through it all
see through and see you.
cause i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind, the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
oh well, oh well, apparently nothing, apparently nothing at all.
you don't, you don't, you don't see me.
you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, see me at all.

Sleeping Beauty

Drunk on ego, truly thought I could make it right
If I kissed you one more time to help you face the nightmare
But you're far too poison for me such a fool to think that I could
Wake you from your slumber, that I could actually heal you

******
A Stranger

Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid wild one
To convince you it's alright
And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity while I formulate
Denials of your affect on me

What am I to do with all this silence
Shy away, shy away phantom
Run away terrified child
Won't you move away you ??
I'm better off without
Tearing my will down

******
Renholder

Humble and helpless
Learning to pray
Praying for visions
to Show me the way
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go

Illuminate me,
Illuminate me,
Illuminate me,
I'm just praying for you to show me
Where I'm to begin

Hoping to
Hoping to reconnect to you..

At your side
The Corrs

When the daylight's gone and you're on your own
And you need a friend just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through, I will understand

And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

If life's standing still and your soul's confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes (make mistakes)
You can't let me down (let me down)
I will still believe (still believe)
I will turn around

And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side
You know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go,
'Cos I'm right there
I'll be at your side, I'll be right there for you
(Together we'll survive) through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go,
'Cos I'm at your side

I'll be right there for you
I'll be right there for you, yeah
I'm right at your side

Once in every life.
Aselin Debison

Once in every life
love should leave you without a choice
Where the only thing right
is to follow that still small voice
Once in every day
it should take your breath away
Once upon a time
should happen once in every life

Once you give it your heart
without holding back your soul
You can dance in the dark
cause you’re never there alone
Once in every hour
you should feel that healing power
Once upon a time
should happen once in every life

Once it’s stronger than you
There’s nothin’ else you can do
You stop asking why, just let yourself fly

Once in every life
love should feel so good you cry
And your only release
is releasing three small words
Once you hear them out loud
you feel heaven coming down
Once upon a time
should happen once in every life

Once upon a time
should happen once in every life

Aselin Debison is a 12 year old girl from Nova Scotia, and her voice reminds me of Alison Krauss, very bluegrassy and high, this song gave me goosebumps when she sang it, it is very beautiful, as are the lyrics.

I had a super day at my new job, I am already done with training for the most part, I have a bit of training on the computer left, but I am going to get that while working with it...I already have been scheduled for a saturday night!!! and it is on a seafood weekend...oh yeah...good money!

Going to quit smoking...I would say try, but if I say try then it means that there is a possibility that I won't accomplish my goal, and that isn't an option, so I am not going to TRY I am going to DO...which means dad and Linda LOOK OUT! lol...

I have also taken my lebret ring out, for good. I need to present myself in a more mature fashion, and I know that when people saw me with that in my lip they didn't think of me as a mature person, no matter how mature I actually am...and I have heard through the grapevine that it looks *silly*. Though I can say that I only liked it because I could play with it...but I still have my tongue ring to play with if I really want to I suppose :)

'Cos what she sees... she doesn't like

A Love Story...

jodi33 — Sun, 21 Mar 2004 16:50:45 GMT

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.

Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat." Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh....Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.

Love realizing how much he owed the elder and asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will...

My thanks to you...

jodi33 — Thu, 18 Mar 2004 15:32:54 GMT

I would only like to say two things. One, thank you deramani you don't know how much your words meant to me today, they helped me realize how silly I was being. It has also lifted my spirits, my day has been much better since then, and continuing to look up...

Two, a roseate outlook from deramani....
me: i wish there was a cure for chronic pessimism
me: lol
deramani: There is.
deramani: Faith.

I will remember that for a very long time...every time I start to see myself being pessimistic I will try to think of that line and look for the best...Thank you.

An American Tale...

jodi33 — Wed, 17 Mar 2004 12:23:01 GMT

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
Fantastic song from the movie...I love it! It was performed by Linda Rondstat and James Ingram, but I like the lyrics too...

Don't we all just love this little mouse??? Reminds me of my brother, he was born the year this came out, my sisters and I took a Fievel stuffed animal to the hospital for him...

stressful couple of days...

jodi33 — Wed, 17 Mar 2004 11:33:29 GMT

this has been a stressful couple of days, but i was being silly about it all and letting it stress me out...that is why today, gusta and i are going to have a nice walk and play and have a good time, and then i may go and see a movie, maybe not though, my stomach is a little upset...eh who knows, i may end up just going to sleep early early again, i have been in bed by 1 every night this week some nights around 11:30...a big change from 4-5 am...it is nice to be able to sleep again... :)

off to make a call and then to get gusta up from a nap :)

Josh Groban....

jodi33 — Sun, 14 Mar 2004 17:27:20 GMT

I had heard Josh Groban sing once before tonight, and I remember thinking how totally amazing he was, not ever knowing his name, or that he was really singing it(it was an appearance on Ally McBeal where he acted as well) then tonight I happened to see an ad for him on the VH1 website. Tonight I heard another song that he has released, and he puts every ounce of his soul into singing this song...amazing couldn't possibly describe how his voice made me feel, his voice is very large for his appearance, when he sang each note you could feel his heart in his words, and though I am not a specifically religious person he made me feel each word...

wow
