Updates! "It's All Happening!"

Greetings!  Hope this blog finds you all doing well! 

Figured I'd get to bloggin' again.  It's been a while!  Things in my world are goin' pretty alright.  I made my first ever budget last month, that I'm already failing at following, discovered I have a dairy allergy, annndd....  pieced together a band.  Movin' into the new jam space on the 1st, where I'll try my skills at the mic.  FINALLY.

The new band is actually a revamping of an old band, that my hubby Ray used to play in, called "Dead, Tomorrow."  We've got a myspace page, it's hasn't been updated yet, the tunes are old (no, that's not me singing), but feel free to check it out!

It's time to show these kids how it's done.

Myself, As Michelangelo...

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.  Once freed, with shameful eyes, he looked at me.  He said, "Why have you done this?"  I reached out and said, "let it be, and fly for me.  show me all that is to be seen."  What a mortal fool I was.  He took my hand and said, "everything you wish to see is WITHIN."  So I carved and chiseled until my hands grew tired.  I stood back and marveled at what I'd created, realizing it had been there all along....  all I needed to do was stop and look

Past, Present, Future...

Look not toward to future, and don't dwell in the past.

Live in the present, and you will find all the answers that you need, right here, right now.

Everything else is insignificant. The past will be your anchor, keeping your ship from sailing, and the future is uncertain.


People say, if it weren't for the past, there would be no future; this is a misconception.

If it weren't for TODAY, there would be no future, because TODAY was once the future, and will soon be the past...

Taker

A desperate measure in exchange for pleasure
you know nothing lasts forever
tomorrow you'll be seeking handouts
cuz that's the only way you know

Take, take, take, you have nothing to offer
take, take, take, I gave all I could give
yesterday could be destiny's past
you'd never know you missed it, cuz it went by too fast.

Memories are haunting, inside my head they taunt me
I'd like to have a few erased
worthless visions, a failed future remains
and everything I hoped for is wasted away

Take, take, take, don't you have enough?
take, take, take, everything you can get
destiny doesn't want us to be
no more will I wonder why, and what if...

I'm Still Waiting For Karma...

A stab in the back or a slap in the face
let me see what ya got, I can take it
all of it, for my spirit is unbreakable
an ethic unmistakable
I'm sick of helping others grow
for the benefit of someone else
I'm tired of being complacent
it's time to find what I want and take it

I won't let ill feelings get the best of me
I'm still waiting for karma
I'll turn the other cheek and wish you both the best
what a tangled web we weave
We're all human, selfish by nature
yet I often consider the feelings of others
and although life is not a game
surely I'm it's prize...

Carpe Diem

Live everyday like it's your last
look toward the future, forget the past
live your life fulfilling your dreams
even if nothing is as it seems
with a future uncertain, hope can be lost
you must fight the battle, no matter the cost
open up your mind to see the path before you
no matter what you find, you must see through
past the here and now, and into tomorrow
you'll become stronger amidst the heartache and sorrow
We can no longer afford to defend faith
the ancient world shows us this was a mistake
all creeds speak of the end times
look around, you'll see the signs
written in stone for all to see
this warning shouldn't be taken lightly
this knowledge was given to us for a reason
yet it fades away with each passing season
from this day forth I look to the sky for answers
just like our ancestors...

Divinity

Looming uncertainty of a silent war
I let down my guard, and you shoot the arrow
thankfully you're no marksman
and I was able to evade.
retreat! retreat!
it's too dangerous now
walking on unstable ground
at any second, it could give way

I can't make you a man
but I can make you a God
and show you the way to heaven
beneath the scars of my heart

Constant disruption of my world
in my head and in my dreams
from a distance I can hear the battle cry
slowly drawing near
repeat! repeat!
the cycle once again
take another stab at me
what's a little bloodshed between friends?

I can't make you a man
but I make you a God
and lead you into eternity
and beyond.
