Daily Dreaming

I know this is way off from the previous post…but I saw this pic and I just had to share…

That’s just CRAZY!!! And if you look closely, there’s still another person bobbing in the water…

Could you imagine!?!?!

Kindred (written by someone with a wonderful heart…thank you)

I’d gotten used to laughing at my old words
Left over from days when pain flowed freely from heart and pen,
‘Cause I’ve heard it said that laughter is the best medicine,
When sewn among beds of salt, woven among threads of tears
But the laugh mask is cheap solace when real healing is needed,
And there’s where I’ve watched you come in–
Our words were made for each other’s ears.

Side by side we’ll grit our teeth
As we laugh through them softly

…it apparently drips into my bedroom. Yup, I have sprung a leak.  It’s not too bad, just a slow drip, but when that drip accumulates in a pot, it starts to get annoying, especially at 2 am.  But that’s ok, roofers are on their way, all is good. 

Song of the day:

I Think It’s Gonna Rain Today by Bette Midler (featured on the Soundtrack to the movie Beaches, the ULTIMATE chick flick). (www.bettemidler.com)

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it’s going to rain today

Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it’s going to rain today

Elizabethtown

Starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst

I absolutely loved this movie.  If you liked Almost Famous, there’s no reason you wouldn’t like this one.  Like Almost Famous, it was heavy with great music throughout the entire movie.  My first thought when the movie was over was how badly I want the soundtrack.  Of course they are both like that, both are directed by Cameron Crowe, an amazing talent in the world of direction.

One thing this movie did make me think about was how much I miss a certain part of me.  I miss the spontaneous, do anything at the drop of a hat, me.  As a result of this thought process, Diana and I have decided we WILL be taking a road trip next summer.  I know, next summer, so not spontaneous, but one of the reasons for my lack of spontaneity is the life in the proverbial real world.  I just can’t up and leave, I’ll lose my job, my apartment, and many of the other pleasures in life that keep me in DC.  So there it is…some of my thoughts of the movie…

But, I will say one thing…Ms. Dunst, please NEVER try a southern accent again, it was just offending to listen to a random word here or there with such forced twang. 

Oh yeah, did I mention Orlando Bloom is in it!!! Enough said!

TomKat’s pregnant…your thoughts on that?

What happened to you Joey Potter?

So is Michelle Williams with Heath Ledger

Now Jen, we expected this from you…

Song of the day:

Home by Michael Buble (www.michaelbuble.com)

Another summer day has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome but I wanna go home
Maybe surrounded by a million people I still feel alone
I just wanna go home, oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each on a line or two, ‘I’m fine baby, how are you?’
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat, and you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane, another sunny place
I’m lucky I know, but I wanna go home
I’ve got to go home.

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why youcould not come along with me
But this was not your dream, but youalways believe in me

Let me go home, I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done, I gotta go home
Let me go hom, it will be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

*Disclaimer…this song, in no way, is autobiographical, I just heard it in a movie, “The Wedding Date,” and fell in love with this guy’s voice!*

Song of the day:

These Words by Natasha Bedingfield (www.natashabedingfield.com)

These words are my own

That’s all I got to say,
Can’t think of a better way,
And that’s all I’ve got to say,
I love you, is that okay?

Something’s different, but I’m not quite sure what it is…all I know is that I don’t like it…

More than Words by Extreme

Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you
It’s not that I want you not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel

More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
Cause I’d already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new just by saying I love you

More than words

Now I’ve tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hand  
And Touch me 
Hold me clost don’t ever let me go

More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
Cause I’d already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words…
