A knight is sworn to valor

Everything
Alanis Morissette

I can be a nightmare of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it’s going out of style
I have the bravest heart that you’ve ever seen
And you’ve never met anyone who's as positive as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm the most gorgeous woman that you’ve ever known
And you’ve never met anyone who's as everything as I am sometimes

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

And you’re still here
And you're still here...

I want to know what Love is. I want you to show me Nov 25, 2006 10:31 am
Mood: confused, 914 Views
I was trying to get my Saturday chores done but something keeps bothering me and I can't concentrate on my work until I get something out. My dogs are great but their idea of feedback is tail wags and big slurpy kisses. Most comforting but hardly enlightening.

It seems I may have offended someone here that I really care about by professing my love for them. I meant it purely in friendship as I do not know this Lady well enough to be in Love with her nor to expect that from her. I tend to say what is in my heart and this wouldn't be the first time I have made a mess by doing so.

I don't pretend to know what love is. Obviously, as I was married for a quarter century to a woman I loved but wasn't in Love with. This is one of many reasons I enjoy reading all of your posts. I am learning from you all. This old dog is learning new tricks and apparently needs more lessons.

To anyone who feels the call to answer this, I repeat the title of this post. I want to know what love is. I want you to show me.

To the beautiful Lady I may have offended, I ask for your understanding and forgiveness. Perhaps my mind does not have a clue but my heart has 20/20 vision.

More lyrics.. Darned brandy

LeAnn Rimes Lyric
I Need You

I don’t need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I’ve always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You’re my only reason
You’re my only truth

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

You’re the hope that moves me
To courage again
You’re the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it’s so amazing
’cause that’s just how you are
And I can’t turn back now
’cause you’ve brought me too far

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you

Have we forgotten what love is Nov 23, 2006 10:26 pm
Mood: happy, 862 Views
Last lyric. Sorry, must be the holiday. Or the brandy...

(Billy Dean/Crystal Bernard)

No wonder my heart is aching
On the verge of breaking down
The way we mistreat each other
What we're becoming now
Have we forgotten what love is
Remember when love was patient
Everything good and kind
The feelings we felt together
As our souls entwined
Have we forgotten what love is

'Cause love
Holds no record of wrongs
And love
Is both gentle and strong
It can't be spoken or promised
It has to be shown
Have we forgotten what love is
I heard the voice of a distant angel
Reminding me and you
That love is not an expectation
Or something we failed to do
Have we forgotten what love is

'Cause love
Holds no record of wrongs
And love
Is both gentle and strong
It can't be spoken or promised
It has to be shown
Have we forgotten what love is
Love has got a way of healing
Using the hands of time
Can even restore the feelings
Buried deep inside
Have we forgotten what love is

'Cause love
Holds no record of wrongs
And love
Is both gentle and strong
It can't be spoken or promised
It has to be shown
Have we forgotten what love is

Two Sparrows in a hurricane Nov 23, 2006 5:39 pm
Mood: happy, 820 Views
Rereading a post from a friend, I was reminded of this song. For me good lyric is like good poetry only with background music...

Two Sparrows In A Hurricane
Tanya Tucker

She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart
It's just matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

There's a baby crying and one more on the way
There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills
They can't pay
The clouds are dark and the wind is high
But they can see the other side

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart
It's just a matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

To all dog owners Nov 21, 2006 7:24 pm
Mood: angry, 924 Views
I sit typing this post angry, with blood running down my fingers and staining my keyboard. It reminds me of an old horror movie with Vincent Price playing a massive steam organ...
I am bleeding because I just had to break up a dog fight in front of my house. A ten month old pup was chained and had squeezed through his gate. Some teenagers walking by with a large bulldog unleashed. Sound like a recipe for trouble? It was.
Fortunately for the pup, my dogs alerted me to the pending disaster. I ran across the street and tried to help the cautious kid who was afraid of his own dog, break up the fight. If you have ever tried to pull a bulldog from it's victim you'll know the challenge I faced. My only recourse was to put my hands in his mouth to pry his jaws from the pup. And I wasn't quite fast enuff removing my fingers from the bulldog's mouth.
I do not blame the bulldog. He was simply doing what his instincts led him to do. I am angry at the owners of the pup and the owners of the bulldog.
People, you must watch your dogs as if they were your children!! Danger lurks for them everywhere as well. There is a responsibility that comes with being the caretaker of a dog!
I have a deep love for all canines and it really angers me when their humans don't take care of their responsibilities...
Whew ... Deep cleansing breaths.... Sorry for venting. Adrenaline rush...

Two of my favorite song lyrics from Neil Diamond Nov 18, 2006 12:30 pm
Mood: happy, 879 Views
For me, picking two of this man's best is almost impossible. I love them all

Canta Libre

Canta libre, Canta vida,
De mi madre,
Y mi padre

Canta mi corazon,
Para los ninos,
Y sus ninos, Canta libre

I got music running in my head
Makes me feel like a young bird flying
'Cross my mind and layin' in my bed
Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'

Canta libre, Canta vida,
De mi madre
Y mi padre

I got music runnin' in my brain
Every song has it's own kind of meaning
Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain
Baptized by the song that you're singing

Canta libre, Canta la vida
Siempre conmigo,
Canta libre

Canta libre,
Canta la vida
Canta mi corazon
Para los ninos
Y sus ninos
Canta libre
De mi madre
Y mi padre
Canta libre
Cante Libre

Neil Diamond 1972

Album: Moods

The version from Hot August Night album is the best...

Play Me

She was moring
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
"Come take me"
For I've been lonely
In need of someone
As though I'd done
Someone wrong somewhere
I don't know where
Come lately

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

And so it was
That I came to travel
Upon a road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

What is Love? Nov 16, 2006 8:11 pm
Mood: loved, 843 Views
In response to old post from someone I care for. A popular subject, hope I haven't plagiarized anyone...

Love

Love is a banana split on a very hot day

Love is waking up to the sound of birds singing and the rays of the morning sun warming your face

Love is the comfort of home

Love is the gathering of family on a holiday

Love is a big hug from Aunt Shirley. (May not mean anything to you but it's making me smile right now)

Love is spending a week in the summer with Grandpa and Grandma

Love is the look on a dogs face as you stroke their ears and tell them how good they are... Or... your cat resting on your legs and kneading you with her claws as she falls asleep. And you wouldn't get up to disturb her if the house was on fire.

Love is a big hug from a child.

Love is seeing someone's face for the first time and nothing gets her out of your thoughts

Love is the feeling when you are nervous about telling someone "I love you" but they say it back

Love is listening to the breathing of someone special sleeping beside you

Love is being awakened by the soft snoring of that person... and smiling

Love is being so very glad that person will be sleeping beside you tomorrow

Love is you can't wait to share everything that happened today with that person

Love is greeting that person at the door with "How was your day?" and really wanting to hear about it

Love is when "after" \bsexo?\b feels as great as "during" \bsexo?\b

Love is your fiftieth anniversary. And praying God gives you fifty more

I would "Love" to hear your answer...

James

A great Love song Nov 15, 2006 8:26 pm
Mood: happy, 866 Views
Don't know why I had the urge to share this Garth Brooks tune but I rarely question my heart so....

Make You Feel My Love

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
But you ain't seen nothing like me yet

I'd make you happy, make your dreams come true
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

Who We Are Nov 14, 2006 9:26 am
Mood: grateful, 1113 Views
I am not much for talking/writing about myself, particularly in an open forum such as this. I haven't done it before and probably won't do it again, but... what's that? Oh. Your welcome.

You see, I am as dull as dishwater. Hmmmm that doesn't look right. Let's make that: I am the human equivalent of the Rock of Gibraltar. Other then my divorce, and the passing of a some loved ones, nothing much has changed in my life over the last quarter century.

After reading of the trials and tribulations of some of my friends and fellow bloggers here, I am led to give thanks for the blessing of dullness, and the gift of friendship.

I was born at an early age in a small log cabin... wait a minute, that wasn't me. I'm getting my biographies mixed up. I was born in a small farming community, the son of a sharecropper. No this time I'm not confused. My father was actually a sharecropper for a while.

Growing up we had a few family blowups and ran into the usual speedbumps but nothing serious. My parents were married until my Fathers death a few years ago. Everyone in my family is secure and healthy, at least the ones who are still alive. Altho I suppose the dead ones are pretty secure too...

In over thirty years I've had only two employers and I still live in the same house I've lived in for forty plus years. I kicked my parents out when I was fifteen and I stayed here. That's who we are.

We are mostly a "it's gonna work out the way it's meant to" family. My father became terminally ill a few years ago and insisted he did not wish to remain in the hospital to die. We brought him home to care for him and he passed away peacefully within thirty minutes of coming home. Our local Hospice volunteers (bless their hearts) came by to comfort us as the ambulance was taking Dad away and found us sitting on the front porch sharing happy stories about him and laughing. We know we'll see him again. That's who we are.

My divorce was the cleanest imaginable. We are still best friends and even had dinner together to celebrate our divorce. At the same restaurant where we celebrated our marriage twenty seven years earlier. That's who we are.

We are a family of multi ethnic proportions representing White, Black, Asian, Hispanic and one who may be an alien. I won't mention his name but he's recently taken up blogging. We believe completely in the equality of all. That's who we are.

As a result of being single again after all these years, I am rediscovering "me". "Us" was good but it is nice to meet "me" again. Many of you are responsible for this re-awakening through your kind words about my posts and your friendship. I truly appreciate it.

For I am discovering something about people that I had nearly forgotten. I like them. We are after all, in this race together. That's who we are.

James
