untitled, again

For what it's worth:

it's never too late or,

in my case,

too early to be whoever you want to be.

There's no time limit,

stop whenever you want.

You can change or stay the same,

there are no rules to this thing.

We can make the best

or the worst of it.

I hope you make the best of it.

And I hope you see things that startle you.

I hope you feel things you never felt before.

I hope you meet people with a different point of view.

I hope you live a life you're proud of.

If you find that you're not,

I hope you have the strength

to start all over again.

we're meant to lose the people we love.

how else would we know

how important they are to us?

Best Christmas Songs

These are in no particular order, except for number one . . . Celine Dion always wins : )

1. Celine Dion - "O Holy Night"

2. Dana Cunningham - "Carol of the Bells"
This particular song makes me desperately want to learn how to perfect my piano "skills" that haven't been freshened up upon since . . . high school, early high school : \\

3. Judy Garland - "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

4. Mariah Carey - "All I Want for Christmas is You"

5. Jimmy Buffet - "Christmas Island" ALBUM

6. Vince Guaraldi - "Christmas Time is Here" - aka the Charlie Brown Christmas song

7. Louis Armstrong - "Winter Wonderland"

8. Brenda Lee - "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"

9. Philip Wesley - "We Three Kings"

10. Kenny G - ALL of his Christmas albums

11. Transiberian Orchestra - "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo"
>rather, any Transiberian Orchestra song, but this is probably my favorite : ) I was supposed to go and see them last winter over break but ended up getting snowed in a bit back at home : \\\

12. Michael Jackson - "I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"

13. Eartha Kitt - "Santa Baby"

14. - 87328923789459. Frank Sinatra and/or Bing Crosby and/or Nat King Cole and/or Elvis Presley and/or Judy Garland - Anything by Any of them...

I would have to say some of my favorite songs are really any version of "O Holy Night" and "Carol of the Bells," hence the reason they are at the top of the list : )

untitled

we're so arrogant,

aren't we?

so afraid of age,

we do everything we can to prevent it.

we don't realize what a privilege it is

to grow old with someone.

someone who doesn't drive you

to commit murder,

or doesn't humiliate you

beyond repair.

[p.s. i love you]

quote of the day...

rather, lecture point of the day.

"When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes. When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours. That's relativity."
