wow. it has been a while. for those wondering what is going on, im still alive and doing well. Salzburg is incredible and the European experience is great. i love every aspect except for the limited internet access. this is only the second time that i have gotten online. that is why i havent been updating more. it is beautiful here right now, but it was raining for a while there. all is forgotten and forgiven though. the classes im taking are no doubt hard and im working really hard to do well. this means really busy days and late nights. that is all for now. postcards aplenty should be sent out soon, if i can get enough stamps. we will see. off to prague early tomorrow (4:30am) which will be really cool. Enjoy the states! see you all soon!

top down
shades on
sunshine and tunes flowing
blonde hair tossed by the wind
the occasional wave to a friend
my smile grows bigger and bigger
even if my lips dont part on the outside
a laugh breaks out
as i shake my fist in defiance
that storm wont stop me
i will only press the pedal harder
and ride on the wings of my soul
back safe at home

if i made you cry
please tell me why
i'll try again
if you let me try

you made me cry

nobody's romantic cause it's too early for dancin'
but here comes the music

hands down this is the best day i can ever remember
always remember the sound of the stereo
the dim of the soft lights
the scent of your hair that you twirled on your finger

and the walk that we shared together

then i am still and wait here in the silence
until you come and sit a while with me

if you put your arms around me
could it change the way i feel?

we are not infinite

like frank sinatra
like elvis and his mom
like al pacino's cash

life is still more than girls
life is more than hundred dollar bills

in the car up ahead...
pull out of town and into the night
and im left driving home on my own...
next time we'll take the long way home
and you can play your favourite song
we'll hold hands and sing along
up ahead there's love

as he comes towards you
he's waving as you lift him up to see
what you can see

you were just friends
at least thats what you said
but now i know better

the heart of a man is like deep water...

deep within us - no matter who we are - there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others like to be with. and the greatest thing we can do is to let people know they are loved and capable of loving.

love isnt a perfect state of caring. it's an active noun like struggle. to love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

there is only one thing that evil cannot stand and that is forgiveness

love and trust, in the space between what's said and what's heard in our life, cant make all the difference in this world.
