The Beast Within the Wedding

Has anyone ever wondered why the beast in us all seem to come out during weddings. We're like feisty little animals preparing for this special day like we are the ones that are going to be walking down the aisle. Let me just point out a few very important thinks when it comes to weddings. First, even though you aren't the ones getting married you feel just like the bride with regards to picking out your outfit, the shoes, and the accessories to go with it. It's like if you aren't perfect, the wedding wont be perfect. And I have to tell you no one will really care what you are wearing because you aren't the bride. But, maybe subconsciously you want to be. Second, finding the right gift also seems to become a pain in the ass. Why? you might ask, simple because the married couple to be seems to go on a lunatic shopping spree where they pick random stuff that they might and even might not need to see what their friends, family, and other people that they have invited to the wedding will get them. Now I love to shop for other people, and I am not cheap but I think stores and the married couple to be have lost their damn minds when you start charging $50 for 1 single plate, now that plate better be made of gold, be able to wash it self, and better not fade with each and every wash for me to spend $50 bucks for it. Third, getting ready to GO to a wedding is the most stressful seeing as though you seem to think that you have all this time in the world and bam the wedding is like 2 weeks away. Why do we as wedding goers seem to think we are getting married?? Simple because like the bride we want them to have a beautiful day something they will always remember. A wedding is like going to your senior prom, you get all dolled up, you have the dress, the make-up, the shoes, your hair is done, you have picked the prefect date. And bam the prom comes and the prom goes and as we know the prom dress is still in the back of our closet. Unlike brides maids, we can wear our outfits again but still our closets become the cave of the beast within us all. So many the question in us all should be why the hell do we unleash this beast for other people's weddings when in reality we are just guest???

Happy New Year

With the past year about to leave us and the upcoming year about to be infront of us, a thought came to mind when it comes to the new year versus the past year. As we look forward to 2010 do we not look to our past for what we went through, how we faced it, the mistakes we made, the regrets we might regret, or do we forget about the past and just move forward toward the future?? Is the new year about starting anew and wiping the slate clean, or is it about us learning from our past and continuing the journey ahead of us??? I have always wondered why the celebration of the new year is so important to us. It's not like we are reborn again every time we say goodbye to a past year and hello to the present/future year. Or is it like the movie "Ground Hogs Day" where we are meant to repeat the same mistakes over and over again until we learn that we cant forget nor ignore the past, nor can we have hopes and dreams for the future if we aren't willing to take the whole picture into account when the new year begins then we are doomed to make the same mistakes. In celebrating the New Year promise yourself one thing not to regret what you did or didn't do but to learn and grow from those experiences.

Happy New Year all, enjoy the life you have been given, be thankful for the people that you love and that love you, and always remember there is still time to make a change and make a difference you just have to be willing to do so.

The Birthday Surprise...

There are things that will arise
something like a wonderful surprise
there are things I love to say
have a wonderful and overwhelming birthday

You three were meant to meet
Separately you were in complete
Three intriguing ladies to bare
With so much beauty and lots of flare

The weekend went by so quick
And I know how much you love some Phick
This weekend we had so much fun
Next time it will be under the sun

I love you ladies so much more
Soon we will be heading to the door
We wont be able to stay away
So Mara, Megan, Suzzanne, have a great birthday

Annoyances

Why do the little things bug you so much
why to the silent things fall with your touch
Why do the big things piss you off
why do the funny things make you cough

Annoyances

Why does the sun shine so bright
Why does that ring sparkle in any given light
why does the grass look so green
Why does that man show up in every scene

Annoyances

Why does the earth spin so slow
Why does that girl seem to know
Why does me eyes want to cry
Why does that chicken need to fry

Annoyances

Why can't they see they are bugging me
Why does that boy not see my knee
Why cant I do my own thing
Why does that man not buy me my ring

Annoyances

I must admit this is silly and sad
I must admit I feel so bad
I must admit those people do annoy
I must admit I have found my joy

Annoyances

Birth -VS- Death

I was listening to the radio today and the song that was playing was talking about "how u should live like it's your last day before you die." And I got to thinking if it was my last day to live would I want to live like it's my last or like it was my very first. I mean I guess the song is saying you should live like you aren't dying even though you know you are dying. And for me most people that know they are dying tend to get their things in order before they die. They dont see the point in having the what if's hanging over their heads. Well, I wanted to truly get your opinion on this because do you live every day like it is your last - meaning you do the things that you never thought you would get a chance to do, and go for it by discovering all of that stuff that you would have time for. Or do you take a chance and look behind door number 2 and live life like it is your very first meaning instead of doing the things you thought you had time to do, by doing them. You live life through fresh eyes. You look at your like through fresh eyes and you explore it, like it is the very first time you have seen these things. Because regret is never a big part of those that are dying it usually ends up being about those left at what they regret not doing with you while you were alive. So here is something else for you to think about, how can you help those around you deal with the regret that is life when you are gone, when you are living like it is your very last day????

Why Do we Need the T's of the World....

Why do we need the T's of the world??? Well, for some that might be the most difficult question to answer, but for me it is the most simplest. We need the T's of the world to help us reach our true potential, we need them to inspire us to be more then just our limitations, we need them to show us another path when we least expect it. Because without them we might be pondering what should I do next without a clue as to how to achieve it. The T's of the world are truly special people sent to some of us, to hold our hands through the transition of life. When they think we are ready they let us go but they are never to far behind to catch us. I call them special guardians because the T's of the world seem to know just what you need without having to say it, and the best part about them is they are with you for life. And for some one like me, I feel very honored and priveleged to have them in my life. So I just want to take this time to Thank the "T's" of the world because without them I might have lost my inspiration and would have been looking in the wrong spot to find it.

Bell Bells

I ponder as I rub my eye
How come I could not fly
I ask my self on a give day
How can I stay far away

I look into that little face
And see the brightness of my grace
I look at her beautiful smile
And wish I could stay awhile

I feel her little hands on my skin
And see the love she has within
I kiss her softly on the cheek
And laugh and play hide and seek

We sing, we dance, we count the sheep
We laugh, we cry, we fall asleep
She looks at me and proposes
Lets go smell the roses

We look at pictures as we go
And she knows I can't tell her no no
We go to the beach and see the shells
I kiss, I hug, my Bell Bells
