Chasing Cars

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Where Does The Time Go?

It occurred to me this morning as I was driving to work, that we're already nearing the end of September. I can't believe it, before you know it, it will be Christmas.

As a kid, I remember that time seemed to last forever. The summer holidays felt like many months, not many weeks, and the 35 minute drive into Toronto required pillows, blankets, and food reserves. My how things look different as I get older.

I do think the pace of life has gotten faster. When I was a kid, you had to correspond by mail, and actually call someone. Today I find many of my relationships exist almost exclusively through text messaging, MSN Messenger and email. Actually calling someone is a rare event.

It's funny how everything has become so urgent and immediate. I wonder if the speed with which we live today has made time itself seem to move faster? Imagine being a farmer in the 1800's. Time would feel like it moved slowly, because it did. Absolutely nothing was immediate. Even the most mundane everyday task was laborious.

I like that we have advanced technologically as a society, but I worry that life goes by too quickly. I guess the thing we have to remember is to enjoy each and every day!

Monday Monday

Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.

Monday Monday, can't trust that day,
Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how yould cou leave and not take me.

Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday, so good to me,

Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday, ...

I'm an Uncle

Many of you may not have realized, but I became an Uncle back in June. My sister Tracey got a little Keeshond puppy she named 'Jackson'. Also known as 'Jack', 'Baby Jack', 'Jack Pot', 'Poo Poo's', and 'Brokeback Jack' (cause I tell her he's gay) ;)

He's a lovely little dog, and the apple of my sisters eye. We love you Baby Jack, welcome to the family!

Grey's Anatomy

I struggle some times to find an intelligent program to watch on Television. In the era of mindless reality TV, shows like 'The Surreal Life' are rather painful to happen upon, even by chance, as I channel surf in pursuit of something interesting.

Survivor, and The Amazing Race, although good shows in their day have become passe, I mean how many season's can they stay fresh? The news although reality, and current can prove to be unsettling, and even disturbing for bed time.

Enter 'Grey's Anatomy'. Moving to Thursday nights. An intelligent 'grown up' program that I can't seem to get enough of.

The cinematography and musical score prove to be an intoxication backdrop to the rich tapestry of ongoing character development. Each episode delivers a sophisticated serving of 'adult life', played out for the viewing audience by a talented cast.

The third season begins Thursday September 21/06. Check it out, it's a great show~

Never Can Say Goodbye

I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, I
I never can say goodbye

Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says "Turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more"
Tell me why, is it so
Don't wanna let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Wooo-hooo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Wooo-hooo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

Hey, I never can say goodbye
Oh no, I never can say goodbye

I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
And there's that anguish
There's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so
Don't wanna let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Wooo-hooo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Wooo-hooo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light , not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of god. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make and manifest the glory of god that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Marianne Williamson
"Our greatest fear" from her book 'A return to love'
