One last thing I beg you please, just before you go

I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world

until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down

Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around

To catch you falling down

And I'm looking at you now

And I can't tell if you're laughing

Between each smile there's a tear in your eye

There's a train leaving town in an hour

It's not waiting for you and neither am I

Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once

That was a conversation you took nothing from so

Raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done

Just put off another day of knowing where you're from

You can catch up with yourself if you run

And I can't tell if you're laughing

Between each smile there's a tear in your eye

There's a train leaving town in an hour

Its not waiting for you and neither am I

Is this the life that you lead?

Or the life that's led for you?

Will you take the road thats been laid out before you

Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight?

Somewhere else tonight...

And I can't tell if you're laughing

Between each smile there's a tear in your eye

There's a train leaving town in an hour

It's not waiting for you and neither am I

And I can't tell if you're laughing

Between each smile theres a tear in your eye

Theres a train leaving town in an hour

Its not waiting for you and neither am I

Rise Against - Paper Wings...

So my angel told me to listen to this song and... I'm not sure which emotion I feel the most when I listen to it (over and over again cause I'm weird like that and have musical issues ) but there's just something about it. Mostly it sounds like someone who's fed up and giving up on someone else... then again, maybe the person they're giving up on, is me. I dunno...

So in 8 more days, I'll be hugging my boys!!! I cannot freaking wait! There's only a few things that would make this trip to San Francisco better... one is if Dave and Chris were gonna be there, and the other is if it wasn't just some vacation for them...

I'm gonna go against the general population here, and talk about something that is probably nothing you want to hear about, but... I need to get this off my chest. Motivational tampons... :wacko: I'm not kidding... they come in these wrappers that say things like 'Don't let your period be captain', 'Win or lose, all that matters is that you play', and 'Be strong'. By the end of the box, I was like... f**K OFF! Ugh... what idiot thought of that?!

Moving on... I spent last Saturday night with some guy named Jason who said amazingly inspirational things like 'Prepare to continue going straight' For the directionally challenged, like me, it was rather obtrusive, but whatever it takes to get to my Luvuh right? Anyway, he saw me in 'mom mode'... hope it wasn't too scary, though it couldn't possibly have been any worse than the sqwalking chicken in the back seat so... I think the cuckoo clock has the right idea

Laptop update... Rich bought a new hard drive and installed it, but since it had Windows XP preinstalled when I bought it, all I have is a Windows Vista upgrade disk that I was too whiny to actually use before, so now I'm forced to use it and it's weird and different and I'm only halfway lost around my own computer... so I'm being mostly babyish about the whole thing. We have the old hard drive still with ALL MY STUFF on it so we can go get the data retrieved for the low, low price of somewhere between $150 and $500, depending how much Rich managed to 'break it some more' while trying to 'fix' it.

Hugs,

Viv
