Take a moment, have a break, enjoy an interlude. This is a beautiful song, let it speak to your soul the way it touches me.
Anna Nalick, "Breathe (2AM)"
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season."
Yeah we walk through the doors
So accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass
Glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe
May, he turned 21 on the Base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he's been down for awhile
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it
'Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass
Glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button boys
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel
You shout, 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again
If you only try turning around
2 AM and I'm still awake writing a song
If I get it all down on paper
It's no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my diary
Screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to
But you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass
Glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand
And breathe
Just breathe
Woah breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe

Pavlov's Dog?
W/we've been enjoying a show called "The Big Bang Theory" for the past few months. Enough so that the earlier seasons were purchased on dvd and have been watched thoroughly over recent weeks. :)
One episode in Season 3 features Sheldon using behavior modification practices to change some of Penny's behaviors that bug him. He uses chocolates, offering her one every time she behaves the way he likes. At the end of the episode, Penny convinces Leonard to do something she wants, with the promise of sex, at which point Sheldon discovers that sex is an even better behavior modifier than chocolate. He's quite surprised and wonders aloud if anyone else has discovered this.
ummm...
Well, yes, Sheldon, I think others may have discovered this nugget of wisdom, but perhaps the domly types around here are better able to speak to that than me. ;)
Imagine that! Using sex as a means of controlling another person. Who knew? :P

Boom, Boom, Boom
Even brighter than the moon!
Have you heard this song yet? Seen the video? Read the lyrics? It's just an amazing and powerful song, that inspires me and, I must confess, makes me cry a little!
So of course, I have to share it with you! :)
When the day comes that you wonder if you matter, or if you're relevant, remember, that you ARE a firework! And you make us all say "Oh, oh, oh!"
Thank you Katy Perry Brand for sharing this beautiful song.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
