Poem Of The Day

The world doesn't end just cause you think it will,
& that sometimes growing up means letting go.
You learn what real love is,
& you begin to see that one friend who really cares
is better than a hundred friends who don't.
You learn that you can be strong,
take each day step-by-step,
& survive every sad moment.
So feel the pain & cry the tears,
go out & experience life.
But when you're at the end of your rope,
& you're ready to jump off that ledge,
remember that heartaches fade,
pain subsides,
& though life seems at times too tough to handle,
it's also too precious a gift to waste.
Keep on living, never give up,
& remember ;
As you grow, you learn.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool… Yeah don't lie because it just all falls into place. Weird how this works. Just try it. It's fun and freaky.

A Poem by John Clare

Poetry Thursday:
Here is another one of my favs. Thought you all would enjoy it.

I never was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet.
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.

My face turned pale, a deadly pale.
My legs refused to walk away,
And when she looked what could I ail
My life and all seemed turned to clay.

And then my blood rushed to my face
And took my eyesight quite away.
The trees and bushes round the place
Seemed midnight at noonday.

I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start.
They spoke as chords do from the string,
And blood burnt round my heart.

Are flowers the winter’s choice
Is love’s bed always snow
She seemed to hear my silent voice
Not love appeals to know.

I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before.
My heart has left its dwelling place
And can return no more.

The Thistle and the Rose

I am going to try something new. Every Thursday I will post a poem. Either, one that I like or one that I have written. Sound good? Well, here is the first one I would like to post. Hope you enjoy.


Well, the evening saunters slowly to an ending,
as a waitress clutters tables with upturned chairs,
The guy at the piano takes his tip jar and his beer,
as the few lost souls remaining wander slowly off in pairs.

And the owner calls out loudly, "Gents, it's time please.
Could you finish off your pints, and drink'em down.
I've a wife at home and family I don't see enough;
So we'll see you all tomorrow, if God's willing;
drink'em down."

There's a bouncer down from Yorkshire by the exit;
I'm smiling at his words I can't translate.
And a pretty little lass hands me my coat and cap and scarf,
as her boyfriend snarls severely, "Come on lad, it's gettin' late."

Two hours ago this place was really jumping,
as waitresses with trays spilled beer and swore:
the smoky smell of laughter wrapped around us,
as the guy at the piano gladly matched our cries for "More!"

A comradeship of strangers for an evening -
if we didn't know the words, we'd hum out loud,
and down our pints then loudly order others;
as a group of lonely strangers, for a moment, became a crowd.

In this company of Crusoes we're all equal;
seek some friendship here to while away the hours.
Why stay homebound when the bed you sleep in's empty:
We're all looking for an answer, but the question's never found.

So we go down to the Local to forget some -
might get lucky with a lady, if she's easy -
Buyin' rounds with the men, and soon everyone's your friend;
but no one knows your name tomorrow evening.

The embers in the fire are slowly dying,
as I turn my back and hear the door slam, locked.
Another evening over at my Local,
now all I hear's my footsteps as they echo down the block

But I think that I might come again tomorrow,
to share a piece of life with commonn souls
who know the knocks and graces life can deal us,
the best and worst, served noon till late,
at the Thistle and the Rose.

Chiefs

Well the Chiefs blew it again this year. Man, I just wish they would of taken Trent Green out and put in Huard. Just to give us a fighting chance. He threw three interceptions (or more) and never got a first down until we were 12 minutes into the third quarter. Now come on, what was our coach thinking? I know he wasn't. Anyway better luck next year.
