Dream on

I'm running through my favorite woods
the empty woods
the rustic, non-paved trail-kind of woods
where dogs may poop
but their owners i rarely see
where i've seen a hawk fly off 
with a scared-to-death squirrel
in its talons
a woods of death for small animals
my favorite place to run and hide

when my pandora gives me aerosmith
dream on
ugh, not into seventies rock
but today
I'm indifferent
in a hurry
no time to wait 
for pandora to shuffle
endlessly
while i run to silent beats

so i listen to the words of
dream on..

"Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things you do, come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
And dream until your dream come true
Dream on .... "

and pretty soon
this crazy lady
you know the one
is running down the path
stumbling over tree roots 
air-guitarring
air-drumming
and
air-screeching and wailing
steven tyler-style

yes we all have these fools and sages
in our lives
trying to tell us
what to do
how to live
and i can't take any more
for unless you have...
lived as many years as i have..
are also this crazy mix of 
too much creativity 
with no focus to aspire in any one area...
too much energy one moment 
and dying of lethargy the next...
blissful like cheesecake one day
and rotten as rabid slugs the next...
extremely particular and stubborn about what i like
yet so painfully wishy-washy
and eager to please
 that i let others choose for me...
as kind and sweet as a kitten 
when we meet
but ready to slam your face into a fence post
if you make me mad...
a huge, huge, huge, huge, huge dreamer
of Big Dreams...
if i could just get out of this rut i'm in...
passionate about God
but with the self-control 
of a flea on a stinky dog..
unless you are all these things...
guess what..
come closer,
no, closer..
ear to the screen...
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!
so sing it steven..
half my life..
written in stacks of diaries and blogs..
we all have our dues to pay..
(i'm paying them..)
these things come back to you, 
yes they do..
but i will dream on. dream on. dream on. dream on.
(scream it at your highest octave now..
DREAM ON...DREAM ON...DREAM ON...DREAM ON...
AHHH-AHH-AHH-AHH-...)



ahhh. another good run.
oh & caution: look out for crazy lunatics running screaming through the woods.


Heathenish

Krogering during church hours...gym shorts & sneakers among dresses & heels...shame on me!!

P!nk - U + Ur Hand

  ok, just an update to gettin the pizza...that pink song on the radio...here's the you tube video that goes along with it.  i'm feeling the pink today, love her attitude. think she was my sis in another life. ha.


just gettin the pizza


yup, i should be a dominos pizza delivery girl. 
i just love the excuse to get out of the house sometimes, 
away from people,
especially on a warm spring day when i can roll down the windows and crank up the music.
(and YES i got TWO pizzas because "I" wanted to...)
feeling the independence, loving the music, belting it out to pink's "you & your hand" song;
"I'm not here for your entertainment,
You don't really want to mess with me tonight,
Just stop and take a second,
I was fine until you walked into my life..."
loving the ride, the fresh air, the alone time,
loving the pink song,
which i know quite well,
thanks to body combat class and that great karate track we do to that song..
i'm feeling it now as i jam in the driver's seat..
guard, chop, guard, punch, back snap-kick...POW!!
squats during the instrumentals, twerking with robb optional (no thanks, i'll pass...)

really missing that class right now. kind of hard to kick and punch while driving the car.
oh well.  one more week till the kids are back in school.

just everyday thoughts.
