Ramblings of a 40 something, biker chick, singer (okay, it's karaoke) and lover of life! I've been a Customer Service Agent for local government ForEver, I'm a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist and a Motorcycle Safety Instructor.
Every day I'm amazed and thrilled by the differences in people. How boring it would be if we were all the same... stop trying to "fit in" won't you?

Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win...
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!
Well, this is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights...ahhh...
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
Some say it's just a Facebook meme ('just'?? isn't Facebook the authority on Evahthang?)...
Here's the message floating around:
It's International Book Week. The rules: grab the closest book to you, turn to page 52, post the 5th sentence as your status. Don't mention the title. Copy the rules as part of your status.
I've googled and I've googled and I've googled and can't seem to confirm or deny that it IS International Book Week. Hmm. Actually, here's what Wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Book_Week
Also, I've seen the rules change slightly as to which page, which sentence... bah!
Well, makes no never-mind to me. I guess the real fun is the part about "don't mention the title". Sooooooo, let's stick to the rules above and let's play the game... And... Ready, Set... GO!
Page 52, Sentence 5: "She watched her brother grab the ring of keys from the wall, then lead the pretty girl out the back door of the bakery and into the little, weed-choked courtyard behind."
... not usually something I'm terribly interested in. I
have my "style"... some might say it's a lack there of. Nonetheless, I
saw a story about Carine Roitfeld on CBS Sunday Morning and was fascinated. A fashion model in her youth, she's now VERY accomplished in her late fifties. What
fascinates me is the fact that she's not afraid of aging, indeed, she
celebrates it and she doesn't hide the fact that she's a very sexual,
alluring being even though she's no longer that young "beauty". AND the
world celebrates her "look" as well and copies it.
