Nobody Knows...
Its no secret that words move me. These aren't mine, they belong to Pink... but I could have written them myself. Words are power, and these are powerful; as they fit my mind brilliantly. Not to mention that her voice in itself is strong beyond belief.
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows but me, that sometimes, I CRY.
And if I could pretend that I'm asleep, when my tears start to fall,
I'd peek out from behind these walls.
Cause I think nobody knows... nobody knows. No.
Nobody likes,
Nobody likes to lose, their inner voice...
The one I used to hear before my life, made a CHOICE.
But I think nobody knows... nobody knows.
But Baby...
Oh the secret's safe with me!
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be!
And baby, don't it feel like I'm all alone?
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown,
And I've lost my way back home???
I think nobody knows, no... I said nobody knows.
Nobody cares,
That it's win or lose, not how you play the game.
And the road to darkness just has a this way,
Of ALWAYS knowing my name...
But I think nobody knows.
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows the rhythm of MY heart,
The way I do, when I'm lying, in the DARK...
And the world is asleep,
And I think nobody knows.
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows but me,
Nobody knows but me.
Me....
~Elizabeth, as sung by "Pink"
*our lives are about the choices we make for ourselves. Its simple, we are our own worst enemies, and our own best friends. Make your choice, own it, embrace it.... and then live it. For at the end of the day, the choices we make for ourselves, will either be our own downfall or our greatest success. Our happiness, or our destruction, lies within our own two hands.....

Things I Love, Things I've Learned
On occasion, I sometimes quote others who have impacted me. I love quotes, and the meaning that they induce to my soul. However, this is not one of those times..... these are all mine, straight from the heart.
~ I love the blinding whiteness of the snow, when standing atop a mountain at the edge of a ski run...when the only thing you hear is silence. That one thing, takes my breath away, no matter how many times I experience it.
~ I've learned that yes, sometimes you just have to shut up and be quiet. You can say more with your silence, than you ever can with your words.
~ I love the smell and feeling of clean sheets straight from the dryer. Nothing feels better than clean sheet Sunday.
~ I've learned to appreciate my strengths.... but more importantly, I've learned to appreciate my weaknesses.
~ I love that I have no set handwriting. Each time I write, something totally different comes from my hands.
~ I've learned to never, ever, take the little things in life for granted. Usually, they're all we get.
~ I love my humor. Yes, it's true. And not only do I love it, I'm proud to have it.
~ I've learned how to be at peace....deep within my own soul. It was an incredibly long and painful journey, but the arrival was totally worth it.
~ I love standing up for what's right, even when it means that most of the time, I'm left standing alone.
~ I've learned to never keep hurt inside. Always speak up. But do it softly.
~ I love doing small things for other people to make their day just a little bit brighter. Trust me, by doing so, your day will become even brighter than their's did.
~ I've learned that the old saying really IS true.... it is never, ever ever, too late to simply say, "I'm sorry".
~ I love rock and roll, Ed Hardy, designer handbags and tattoos! oh, and money. :)
~ I've learned that in order to let go, you have got to forgive all. Forgive those who have wronged you, forgive those who have hurt you, forgive those who have destroyed you.... but first, forgive you.
~ I love hearing my children simply say... "I love you mommy"
~ I've learned that reaching out to others, is sometimes not only important, but necessary. Find someone who has a hand out reaching, and grab it. Even if it's your own.
~ I love that I love the little things.
~ I've learned that the ability to get back up, doesn't come from strength, it comes from peace.
~ I love that no matter how much hurt I've been dealt, no matter how many scars I've received, I still have the ability to love back. Over and over again.
~ I've learned that the best days spent, are in solitude. You just can't go wrong being your own best friend.
~ I love that the best things in life may not be free, but they sure are cheaper!
~ I've learned that when life rains on your parade, there's always the Slip N Slide.
~ I love music. It warms my heart and moves my soul.
and lastly.......
~ I've learned that you can never stop learning.... from everything, and everyone.

How To Thumb Your Nose At A Tornado!
So yeah..... living in Louisiana we have our fair share of tornados. Maybe not as many as Dorothy and her little red slippers, but we do get quite a few. Tornados fascinate me really. I love weather, it excites me! Usually, down here, we get crazy weather in the Spring. Ironically it usually falls on Easter weekend, I suppose it's God's little way of saying "hello, you've been a naughty little girl haven't you?" Hell, who knows.... I don't claim to have life's answers, I just break the rules. Just sayin...
Last Thursday, out of nowhere, we got about 7 tornados all within about a 10 mile radius. Not to mention about 75 inches of rain. Levees broke, homes were flooded, and schools were closed. But last Thursday night, during this horrific event, what do I do? Yep, you guessed it! I played on Facebook, giving my own little weather updates, basically mocking what the forecasters were saying. And actually, I set a new Facebook record, receiving almost 400 posts on one status update.... in two hours. I'm just that good, really. I'm a Facebook celebrity, or at least that's what my friends tell me, if you will.
So I've composed a list, of some "things" YOU can do, when faced with a Tornado and you just don't wanna hunker down in such a confined space of like, uh, your closet!! :) So here you go, just my funny take on having fabulous effed up time in a Tornado!
1. Stand in your driveway listening for a "freight train". When you hear it, wish like hell you actually lived near some railroad tracks.... :)
2. Eat an entire box of Ding Dong's that you snatch out of your terrified little children's hands.... :)
3. Drink...heavily. Booze makes it all better. :)
4. Play on the internet all night long, ignoring what they say on TV. Assuming you still have power.... :)
5. If your power goes out, break out your METAL ladder and climb up your electric pole and try to jimmy that shit back on.... :)
6. Get out your kite, attach a bunch of keys to the tail, head for the nearest open field for some fun.... :)
7. Climb a cell tower to get a better view.... the taller the better. :)
8. Drink some more... :)
9. Refuse to get away from windows and/or glass - REBEL from it all! :)
10. Take your kids to the park - you'll have the swings and slides all to yourself! :)
11. Think like "The Matrix".... there IS no tornado. :)
12. Wish you lived in a trailer park so finally, you can see some damn ACTION.... :)
13. Tell all your friends and family that you're all about to die.... :)
14. Call Kanye West and tell him you really enjoyed the Grammys! :)
15. Sit outside in your vehicle to keep your phones charging... you just gotta stay connected to Facebook, right??? :)
16. After drinking quite a bit, get your friends together and dress up like zombies to scare the Tornados away... :)
17. Head out for a leisurely drive.... WITH your kids! :)
18. Make up lies about the destruction of certain buildings in your town and also that people are looting and shit. Post it on Facebook and then laugh at what happens next.... :)
19. Leave your children at home unattended, to go buy more booze and smokes.... :)
20. Call the Post Office and demand your mail be delivered on time! STAT! :)
21. Laugh at your friends who just told you that they recently canceled their flood insurance.... :)
22. Live a little, and smoke crack.... unlike the Tornados, it really WONT kill you! :)
23. Make fun of the local newscasters - on whatever social networking site you use. Do it simutaneously, as they report, so do you! :)
24. Defy nature... take your family to dinner. :)
25. Stand in your front yard, with the winds howling around you as you hear that freight train coming.... and raise two arms up as high as you can, and FLIP IT THE EFFING BIRD!!!!!!! :)
26. Prank call people and tell them that there's been a terrible mistake.... there isn't really a Tornado. Call them back 5 minutes later and say, "Just kidding!!!! TAKE COVER NOW!" :)
27. Call your family and friends, and tell them that you, along with them, just died and everyone's in Hell together.... :)
28. Laugh when you think about the next day, when you'll be driving around local neighborhoods with your camera taking pictures but not offering to help anyone.... :)
29. Find the worst damaged area possible and get out of your car. Walk up to folks and say, "Damn, your shit is way more fucked up than mine!" Then laugh get back in your car and leave... :)
30. Laugh at your spouse as he lies sleeping and snoring soundly on the couch nearby.... and think to yourself, "I wonder if he knows he's about to die???" Then tell all your friends you thought such a thing, so they can laugh too! :)
32. Blame the weather on Al-Queda... :)
33. Take all the credit for the destruction of the downtown Methodist's churches steeple collapsing by saying, "That steeple stuff, yeah.... that was me" :)
34. Post on Facebook that you are glad that church's steeple didn't fall on YOU, like it did to that one guy, cause you are NOT in the mood to hear no damn "I told you so's!!!" :)
35. Take the credit for ALL the weather, and say "See what happens when I get angry!?" :)
36. Threaten the local pizza place with legal action, when even THEY are smart enough to stay off the roads during this catastrophic weather and refuse to deliver your food.... :)
37. Never actually do ANY of this, because when the next Tornado rips through your town, God will seriously see to it that you get paid back tenfold.... same as he's gonna do to me, for having such wicked thoughts..... :)
Here's to a tornado coming your way, enjoy!
