Remember that time two years ago when you said...

Sometimes people say or do things and I don't respond the way that I would have liked to. Either I don't respond at all or I didn't stand up for myself in the way I should have. Not that big of a deal, but sometimes those scenarios stick with me. Until I find myself where I am now...wanting to write a prof that I had years ago and say:

You remember that time you said that? You don't know what the hell you are talking about. Seriously. Why would you even say such a thing? It bothered me then and it continues to bother me now. I hope you are not still saying that to your classes.

It is just a bunch

of nameless nothing. Doesn't really make anything good to blog about.

I did get to see Tim, one of those dear friends that just kind of slips through the cracks and before you know it you haven't seen in two years. Maybe more like 3, because he had no idea about Lydia. It was great to reconnect - he wanted to know if moms of two went out for coctails. I assured him that moms of two probably went out for coctails more than we ever did before having kids. Beh, even that isn't true- I almost never drink unless I see my friends and that doesn't happen all that often.

I promised Marissa I wouldn't yesterday

but it is finally today and I just have to say

GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08! GO OBAMA 08!

Borrowed words for today.

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side

Of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky

And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny

In the grand scheme of things and sometimes this terrifies me

But it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene

In a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been

So grounded, and so humbled, and so one with everything

I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything

Rock and roll is fun but if you ever hear someone

Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun

Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky

Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye

I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye

When I saw Geneviève I really liked it when she said

What she said about the giant and the lemmings on the cliff

She said 'I like giants

Especially girl giants

Cause all girls feel too big sometimes

Regardless of their size'

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side

Of the road and run and jump into the ocean in my clothes

And I'm smaller than a poppyseed inside a great big bowl

And the ocean is a giant that can swallow me whole

So I swim for all salvation and I swim to save my soul

But my soul is just a whisper trapped inside a tornado

So I flip to my back and I float and I sing

I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything

I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything

So I talked to Geneviève and almost cried when she said

That the giant on the cliff wished that she was dead

And the lemmings on the cliff wished that they were dead

So the giant told the lemmings why they ought to live instead

When she thought up all those reasons that they ought to live instead

It made her reconsider all the sad thoughts in her head

So thank you Geneviève, cause you take what is in your head

And you make things that are so beautiful and share them with your friends

We all become important when we realize our goal

Should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole

And yeah, rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone

Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun

Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky

Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye

I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye

I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye

And I don't wanna make her cry

Cause I like giants
