Something There



There's something sweet and almost kind 
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined 
But now he's dear and so unsure 
I wonder why I didn't see it there before 

Oh so unkind, just not my kind
That's what I thought
Then something changed
Perhaps it was there all along
And now its cute, well I think so
And now he's sweet, and quite a mess
Whenever we're together he tries to be refined
Its quite funny actually,well I think so
Yet I do more than laugh when he glances at me

She glanced this way, I thought I saw 
And when we touched she didn't shutter at my paw 
No it can't be, I'll just ignore 
But then she's never looked at me that way before 

I don't know what it is about her
Maybe she sees right through me
I get confused, whenever she's near
And for some reason, I no longer can be mean
And for some reason, all I want her to see is me
I should run while I can still feel my legs
But warning signs, we both ignore
Insanity! Oh she does the strangest things to me
And when she looks at me, caution leaves with the wind

New and a bit alarming 
Who'd have ever thought that this could be? 
True that he's no Prince Charming 
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see 

Well, who would have guessed?
We must be nuts
We did not bargain for this
What were we thinking?
No, it can't be!
We'll just ignore
Its so peculiar
There may be something there..
That wasn't there before
Perhaps there's something there..
That was simply hidden
Perhaps we're sane after all
Because there's something there that wasn't there before

Perspectives and Perceptions

Photo credit: I found it on flicker, by Lauri Ward. I really like it, thought I'd share it. Somehow it inspired me to write this post for 3 of my friends celebrating their birthdays today.

I've seen it all
All that was meant to stay in the dark
And all that was brought to light
I've seen it all

I've been the silent observer
I've been the one who spoke when no one else could
Sometimes I'm blunt, other times I'm politically correct
I've said it all

I've been there
I've done that
I've felt it all
The pain
The sadness
The hurt
The joy
The euphoria
The passion
I've felt it all

The fights
The drama
The complications
The celebrations
The break-ups
The make-ups
I've definitely seen my fair share

I peer at the world with these eyes of mine
And I take each day as it comes
Knowing that sometimes not everything I see looks good
There's the good, the bad and the ugly
And I've seen it all

But with these two eyes
I have control over my perspective
And my perspective affects my perception
And my perception affects my perspective
So I stay positive
Knowing that there's beauty in every ugly


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVES!

Life is a beach, bitchessss!!! 
Friends don't always get along, they don't always agree with each other, and they can down right just piss you off, but one thing is a constant-- their friendship. Friends can give each other crap, but they never treat each other like crap (sheeeee...flow me, flow me... i gAt lyrics..lmao, i'm just a fool chale)

Not with a Fizzle, But with a Bang ! :D


You give me the warm fuzzies
And then you give me hot flashes
You give me butterflies in my tummy
And then a funky feeling in my groin
You give me electricity
And then you give me fire

You give me a lot
But most importantly
You give me You

And we create poetry
You, the skillful poet
Me, the beautiful poem
You write me
And you re-write me
Over and over again
Each time, something new
Each time, something special
Each time, something real

You give me a lot
But most importantly
You give me You

All of you, you give me
I'm officially smitten
Officially and unconditionally
So I'm officially yours
On the record
Its me and you

Jason Mraz- Life Is Wonderful

So since i've been so lazy and uninspired, I decided to share the lyrics of one my fav Jason Mraz songs with you... enjoy :) I love me some Mraz.

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
