hush my little baby
please dont say a word
cause id like to give you everything i promised i would

well ill give you my heart
and ill give you all my soul
and you van have my money
and if you like you can have control
and all i want from you is love and a little bit of faith
maybe trust, honesty goes a long long way
in my mind i miss you every night that you're not there
and all i'd like to do is sit around and breathe your air
and although you dont feel the things that i might do
all i need is just you

hey girl
come with me
and let yourself go

p.s. in case you didnt know, my dad is really smart. we joke about him knowing everything about everything. but seriously, i think he does. i mean except for spelling, but that is ok. kinda hard to feel like you are accomplishing anything in life when you have to sift through piles and piles of awards and recognition and diplomas and medals, as well as finding out that he scored a 1560 on his SAT (equivalent). i think i need to get a tattoo that reminds me that "you are good enough, you are smart enough, and doggone it, people like you"

i dont know if i could deal with working for him though. yikes. two people obsessed with success and approval. lots of hard work of course. but it would never be good enough. and Freud would say that such a situation is unhealthy and will frequently lead to conflict. anyways. just a thought.

my new favorite TV commercials:
"I Will Do Anything for Love" Dr. Pepper commercial
Tostitos wedding football game commercial

some might say that there is a correlation between these two. i would be one of those people. it may be a little difficult to find, but i dont think so. just think about it.

sometimes it is hard to not have something
but then if you have been without it for a long period of time and it finally comes back to you, it is wonderful. but what then when it is taken away again? what happens when it all goes back to the way it was? is it not easy to get upset or sad or feel lonely? you just wish you could stay in that moment, that perfect time of excitement and happiness that you had been missing and had been dying to experience once again. you wish she wouldnt leave. you wish you werent separated by 300 miles. you wish things would work out. but most of all, if this separation is necessary and unavoidable, then you wish that in the future this would be made more of a priority. that you wouldnt settle for AIM or phone. that you would realize how important this is and how much you want it and need it.

but for now. just enjoy the fact that it happened and be happy in that.

it's been emotional.
it's been incredible.

what a great couple of days...

i never knew sharing my life with someone and getting to know them better would be this rewarding and exciting...
i dont want it to end
it is so exciting and so fun and all that i look forward to

you know who you are
you know what you mean
you know how excited i am
but careful and cautious

thank you for all you are and all you are willing to be for me
you encourage me to be myself
you like me for who i am
you want me to never settle
and i agree

i think we are doing the right thing
i know this is difficult to deal with right now
but i know that doing this the right way will be better for both of us in the long run

i cant say enough about these past couple days
how much i looked forward to them
they were everything i wanted and needed
it was perfect

thanks for being who you are....

and yes most of these posts are not about you. but there are a couple. i just went back and read through them. dont sell yourself short, neither here nor in the CD write-ups. there isnt anything wrong with that assumption. dont sell yourself short in reference to your importance, impact, and significance in my life. with some caution and reserve of course... ;)


i think i have said enough for right now...
