    6. to feel better physically 

     


  2. 7 years changes a lot.

    A blog documents about 3 percent of a person’s life in my opinion.  I would have to do nonstop writing to document it all and then I’d be blogging not living.  I don’t know if it’s just me or if it’s widespread because my perspective could be slanted but doesn’t it feel like the majority of blogland is bored with blogging?  I’ve seen tons of people move, change, stop writing, and perhaps start living?  Perhaps we latch onto blogging when times are tough in order to work through those times.  In fact that’s what I did. 

    I’m not perfect now…but I was certainly a mess then.  When I think about the person I am now and how I’m living my life compared to who I was back in 2001, I nearly shudder at the vast differences.  I’m still the same person but greatly improved.   I was just looking at my grades and schedule, just got another A-.  I’ll take it.  I have 39 credits left and then I can enroll into a Masters Degree program.  Me?  Yes, sometimes I scare myself at how much I have changed.

    A co-worker of mine just said “ya know what I can’t understand?  Why can’t chickens talk like parrots? It’s so unfair.”

  4. politics and religion – two things NOT to talk about in mixed company

    January 22, 2008 by shishnit

    I’m currently taking a political course being taught by a House rep from a state not my own.  It’s like getting a firsthand look into the government system via him.  He shared with us that he makes $31,000 as a House Representative.  It certainly doesn’t pay to try to fight for new laws.  This class is changing me….it is a good feeling when education changes you.  It’s even a more wonderful thing to learn from someone that is “doing” not just “teaching” or reading from a textbook.


  5. Let the words escape (lyrics)

    January 21, 2008 by shishnit

    Love, how did I find you?

    Was I even breathing before I knew your name?

    Who could ever have planned this?

    Arranged a whole planet to all turn out this way.

    Hey, only Heaven knows

    The dreams behind these things I’m asking

    Even our angels look surprised

    To bump their wings in passing

    I love you

    How can I say,

    I love you

    Let the words escape

    Though you snuck up behind me

    I thought I was hiding

    But oh how I fell for you

    My heart beats double inside me

    As I learn to love it

    Say my prayers for two

    Hey, only Heaven saw

    The tears I cried

    On the day I met you

    If the whole world goes wrong

    I’ll don a cape

    And fly to your rescue

    Because I love you

    How can I say,

    I love you

    Let the words escape

    Let the words escape

    Let the words escape
