Blessed are the cracked: For it is they who let in the light



I own me. But my heavenly father made me and owns me more. so in some respects i'm just a caretaker of me??
wow - leave philosphy behind, i'm going back to grade two English.

if you accompany a friend... there is no detour too far - L Tolstoi

life is easier than you think.
All you have to do is:
- accept the impossible
- do without the indespensible
- bear the intolerable
- and be able to smile at anything!

(good luck!)


i've been neck deep in history over the last week. I had to do a big autobiography project (don't even ask me how that's related to education - it gives me rage. ANYWAY) and so i've been digging out old old pics and some newer ones. all in all i'm feeling a little nostalgic (and very tired) so here are a few gems from my friendship book - as i was leaving for Canada. Its a cool book - you should ask me to check it out some day.
(they're a little soppy - year book stuff, but i decided to only put the good stuff here.)

"Love life. Love each moment, each person, each special thing that happens in your lifetime. Enjoy each moment."

"There's a miracle called friendship, which dwells withing the heart.
You don't know how it happends, or where it gets its start.
But you know the happiness that friendship always brings,
and you realize that friendship is God's most perfect gift."

What is a friend? It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. - F. Crane

"Friendship is loving rather than being in love"



"Behind These Hazel Eyes"

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

walk away

there's an awful lot of bootie shaking in this vid, but i like the song anyway.I'm really getting to like Kelly Clarkson actually... hazel eyes was brilliant, and i like the lyrics for this one too... i think the video sadly might in fact detract from the song... anyway.

to science unit plans and beyond. (YAY! ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS OF THIS SCHOOL CRAP! I'm PUMPED for summer. just wish i had any idea of what to do....eeek!)

have a gooder~!

you're missing me

i know all you've got lately is song lyrics. for some reason (maybe cos i'm procrastinating and listening to a lot of music), i keep finding songs which just say it or capture the moment better than i ever could. so here we go again. i guess extropolation is your friend, cos i'm just too tired.

JACK JOHNSON - Bubble Toes Lyrics
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that her eyes are
as big as her bubbly toes
on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards and her feet
are all covered with tar balls and scars

It's as common as something that nobody knows that her beauty
will follow wherever she goes
up the hill in the back of her house in the would she love me
forever,
I know she could

I remember when you and me mmm how we used to be just good
friends
Wouldn't give me none
But all I wanted was some
She's got a whole lot of reasons
She cant think of a single one
That can justify leaving
and he got none but he thinks he got so many problems
Man he got, too much time to waste

His dreams are like commercials
But her dreams are picture perfect and
Our dreams are so related though they're often underestimated

It's as simple as something that nobody knows that
Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards
And her feet are infested with tar balls and

La da da da da da

Well I was eating lunch at the D. L. G.
When this little girl came and she sat next to me
I never seen nobody move the way she did
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again

When you move like a jellyfish
Rhythm don't mean nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
Move like a jellyfish
Rhythm is nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop

It's as common as something that nobody knows it
Her beauty will follow wherever she goes
Up the hill in the back of her house in the wood
She'll love me forever, I know she

If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me
If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me

I can speek English good too

Ha. I feel vindicated. Today, i discovered something which justifies my whole way of speaking, AND should be of special interest to some of you from a couple summers ago... you know who you are... BEE- BAH is thus compleetely acceptable as an ambulance sound!!!

check this out:

as kids we were all told that trains go "Choo - choo" and cars go "beep beep".. but in other languages that might not be the case.

AAH - CHOO!
portuguese: ah - chim!
German: Hat-Chee!
Greek: Ap Tsou!
Japanese: Hakshon!
Italian: EkChee!

EENY-MEENY-MINY-MO
Arabic: Hadi Badi!
Italian: Ambaraba chichicoco
Japanese: Hee-foo-mee-yo
Swedish: Ol-uh dol-uh doff
Polish: Ele mele dudki!

HILARIOUS!

Cory showed me this video prob a year ago, and i found it as hilarious then as i do now... especially considering our top secret dance - gym project... haha...
This guy is an Austrian interpretative mime artist (Johann Lippowitz) performing Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn". WOW>>> i'd LOVE to see him live!

ENJOY :)

Walking On Sunshine

Jump 5

I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure
And I just can’t wait ‘till the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
‘Cause I just can't wait ‘till you write me you're coming around

I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
And don’t it feel good!!

Hey, alright now
And don’t it feel good!!

I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it’s true
And I just can't spend my whole life just a waiting for you
I don’t want you back for the weekend
Not back for a day
'Cause baby I just want you back and I want you to stay

I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
And don’t it feel good!!

Hey, alright now
And don’t it feel good!!
wooo,
And don’t it feel good!!
(And don't it feel good!!)

I'm walking on sunshine
I'm walking on sunshine

I feel alive, I feel the love, do wop, do wop
I feel alive, I feel the love, do wop, do wop

I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah wooah
And don’t it feel good!!
And don’t it feel good!!
And don't it feel good!!
And don't it feel good!!

"Unwritten"

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Exciting week

it has been a very fun week - lots of playing, not a lot of sleeping and lots of good times. I've had the opportunity to work out at Allen all week, and its been a blast! I'm really going to miss them next week. Who knew that i'd actually like grade 2/3?? The last time i taught that age group was when i was 13. I also got my new glasses today... they're a very weird choice for me - way more funky than i was planning, but i really like them :) Not that i figure i'll be wearing them too much in public, you'll have to be extra special to see them for real. (no prob there - mel already is!)
BUT its going to be a SUPER long week - i finish off here on friday, then i have first aid/ CPR C all day sat and sunday, and a crap load of homework to catch up on for monday. EEK. guess i should stop blogging and start doing homework huh?

anyway -
lovies.

PS: the sheaf issue is going to the human rights commission - a little overboard?? I think so. I mean, ok - offended... but really?
