For The Nights I Can't Remember

I see it in the way you would do
When no one else could ever get through
Holdin' back till I come around
Time and time again you wait for me to come
And did you really look my way?
Cause no one could of seen this comin'
I would never let you down
If I was runnin' back?

I can and I will
And you'll see your hero come runnin'
Over and over tonight

And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if fallin' for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

Me, I'm used to being tired and bloody
But you believed that I could be somebody
You put your world on hold for me
Gave away to follow failure through the fire
I need you to know I will
Believe me girl, I'm so tired of runnin'
I just wanna hold your hand
Stare at you like you got everything I need

And I can so I will
And you'll see your hero come runnin'
Over and over tonight

And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

And what if I never said to you I was dynamite?
(Dynamite)
And what if I never told you I'm afraid to cry?
(I wanna cry)
What if I never let you down inside?
I'm sorry for the nights I don't remember
What if I never said to you I would try?

And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

And I do wanna love you
(I wanna love you)
And I do wanna try
(I wanna try)
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time
So hold back your tears this time

Happy Valentine's Day

The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Last night I rented 'The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'. My friend Mariana says it's her favourite movie, so I had heard of it, but had never actually seen the film.

It's funny you know, I often buy a book, or note a movie, but never read/watch until a later date or time. The funny thing is, that I do read/watch exactly when I am suppose to, and usually with profound revelation.

I bought Marianne Williamson's book 'A Return to Love:Reflections on the Principles of A course in Miracles' back in 1992, and didn't read it until 2 years ago. It's as if I new I was to read it, but had to wait for the right moment in time.

I had never seen the movie 'City of Angels', until my friend Eva brought the movie into my life. I watched it, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Right moment and time.

Anyway...that was a long winded explanation to the fact that I FINALLY saw 'The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'. It made me think about painful relationships that I may have had in my past, and whether or not I would want to 'remove' the memories from my head? Ultimately I decided that no, I would not have them removed.

As painful as certain events are in our lives, I believe that they are all part of who we are today, and that the old saying "what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger" is more true than not.

It's a really poignant film, the cinematography is brilliant, and some amazing performances are delivered by the cast of actors.

If you haven't seen the movie, rent it one Sunday afternoon, it will make you think!

Jay Brannan

Ok, so yes I have a crush........

His name is Jay Brannan. I saw him in the film 'Shortbus' and fell in love, not only with him, but his music.

Last Thursday, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting him, and watching him perform at the Supermarket in Kensington Market.

His music is a folky blend of darkness and light, with a resonant sadness and dis-enchantment with the mainstream franchise of life, religion, relationship etc. I was impressed by how amazing he sounded live, even better than he sounds recorded, which is a real testimony to his talent.

I still don't understand why a record company has not snatched him up? In a world of no talent pop stars, they let a true singer/song writer fall through the cracks. But alas, not much makes sense in the world today I find.

Aside from being easy on the eyes, he has a warm and inquisitive coyness about him. Quite lovely all around......watch for him, he's not going to disappear!

Great show in Toronto Jay! when are you coming back? xo

I Don't Wanna Miss You

The streetlights bow
the traffic sings
Think about how many times
Love changes lanes
Maybe we lived our lives in chains
Maybe we never were just friends
And the days go by
And you wonder why
You're still holding up the sky

I don't wanna miss you so much baby
I don't wanna miss you all the time
I don't wanna drive myself so crazy
And lie awake in someone else's arms
But I do

Right on time
The cymbals crash
And the tears you thought were gone
Have come to town again
Maybe my love wrecks everything
Maybe emptiness is key
There's a radio that calls your name
Everytime I hear it sing

I don't wanna miss you so much baby
I don't wanna miss you all the time
I don't wanna drive myself so crazy
And lie awake in someone elses arms
But I do
Baby I do

Maybe I'll chase the moon this time
Maybe I'll get it right this time
I was standing in your doorway
Hoping one day you'd be mine

But I don't wanna miss you so much baby
I don't wanna miss you all the time
I don't wanna drive myself so crazy
I don't wanna miss you all the time
yeah yeah

I don't wanna miss you so much baby
I don't wanna miss you all the time
I don't wanna drive myself so crazy
And lie awake in someone else's arms,
But I do
yeah yeah
But I do

Steel Town Cyphers

The Recess Renegades did battle yesterday at McMaster University's Student Centre. The University hosted the Steel Town Cyphers Battle. Attendees came from all over Canada to battle it out. It was so great to see Alex and her troop bustin' their moves. I was really proud of her. Way to go Alex!!!

Look out NHL

My son Nick plays in a 3 on 3 league at The Burlington Pond. He is the goalie for the Pirahna's. I am really proud of him!

Every game starts with all the dad's suiting up their respective son's in their hockey gear. Nick always makes conversation with the other boys, and is a really good sport. He always talks the other boys up, and tells them "great game".

Every game, many members of his family come out to watch and support him. Nanny, Grandad, Grandma Pat and Grandpa Bob have all become fixtures. We are all so proud of him, and love to watch.

I am really proud of you Nick, I love the time we share getting you into your gear. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Love you!
