Soulcalibur

I am really enjoying this game! SoulCalibur!

Xianghua is my Favorite character to play! She is fast & deadly with her blade. (I wished I had a dub of her end fight sayings, I love them.)



I found a great reveiw on youtube:

I will now have to put SoulCalibur VI on my want list.

The Bangles Following

Song about obsession? This song has a neat video too.

You think I'm crazy or something
Always following you around
You say I'm a hopeless case
Run an obsession into the ground

You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
Look over your shoulder
And you say I'm haunting you

So why do you call me
Why do you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do

You hold me responsible
Yeah, so I stand accused
Of causing all the trouble
After high school
Between him and you

You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
But I was a good girl
Yeah, 'til you taught me
What it means to be true

Why do you call me
I know you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do

The Book Hawaii

By James A. Michener.

I finally finished this book. It has taken me most of the summer.

I did enjoy it. It was basically the history of Hawaii from the time it was born. (He covered eons!)

He used many truths & facts in this book. It makes you wonder how things could have been done differently.

A Day On The River

We went kayaking today on the St. Joe.

We went with Liquid Therapy Kayak rentals. They have an awesome set up!
Dude.....I did not apply my sunscreen properly. Both Hubby & I are crispy.
The current was slower than I expected. The river was was low. We need rain! We caught some little blue gill.
We did get a rare treat. (I wished I'd had my good camrea, (I was afraid I'd drop it in the water)

Something made this incredible splash two feet from hubby's boat. Hubby said it was a beaver! I did not believe him. I said, "We don't have beavers here." Hubby pointed at the very very large rodent swimming away from us & told me to go look for myself.
I paddled toward it. As I got closer it did a sort of curl flip & whacked it's enormous tail on the water (very scary!), then dove.
It was definitely a beaver! I was then scared that it would come underneath my boat *shiver*.
It was a fun day.

The Circus

We went to the Kelly Miller Circus today!
I had never been to a circus before. It was 90 degrees today so a tad sweaty in the big top.
We got to ride on Lisa the Pachyderm.
I left feeling mostly sorry for the animals, although I'm sure they are well cared for, tis sad to see them in cages for human delightedness.
I was in awe of the performers. The balance guy was amazing....How in the hell does he do that?

I forgot my good camera so you're stuck with phone pictures.....(I found out tonight that my phone takes video, LOL!)

The cutest thing they did, was the clown did a skit with a stuffed elephant. Then the second little elephant was a dog in a suit. It was so cute I cried.

Devo "Girl U Want"

I downloaded this for Rock Band. I love it! It reminds me of awesome teenage times

She sings from somewhere you cant see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
It drips on down in a mist from above

Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want

You hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know youre headed for the pleasure burn
But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
Shes the real thing but you knew it all along

Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want

Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind reeling
Why dont we just admit its all over
Just the girl u want

Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want

Perception by Me

Honesty is opinionated perception, not fact.
Honesty is best silent, unspoken.
Friends, lovers become quiet, distant.
Souls cry out to know why.
Broken hearts wish for the truth of arrogant mistakes.
Resentment creeps into the once blissful mind.
The pained mind begins imagining manipulation.
Wondering if the entire romance, friendship was a game?
Visualizing the score card with the minds eye,
would such a mind hear the truth?
Hurt sees only pride and ego.
Let it go, Love anyways.

Night Out

We were finally able to get everyone together to go see Stillshot. I absolutely love this local band they have the perfect mix of old & new rock. They play Crazy Bitch which is the best song evah! They did not save it for the last song either which rocked.
We went to the Bella Luna. It was very very small. (Very, Very Smokey) I got to wiggle my ass with good friends & that makes me happy!
Karla's birthday was this week & we celebrated!

This Marks The Begining Of Our Two Week Vacation!

I'm so happy! We plan on having mostly what they are calling a Staycation. I Plan on doing everything & nothing at the same time. The ultimate .



Living on a lake makes staying home on vacation so easy! Fishing, Swimming, boating.

We will try to get some chores done around here also.


I'm very stoked about going out with the girls tomorrow night! I love the band Stillshot!

I'm All Caught up On LOST.

This has got to be the best show EVER. Season 4 was crazy & answered only a few questions while making 60 more.
Bring on the new season! Just a side note, since watching Hugo everything & everyone is DUDE to me LOL!

I Ran My First Ever Race.

Middlebury Summer Fest.
I ran a 3K this morning. I thought a 3K was exactly 1.5 miles. It is 1.86 miles. I only practiced once before the race & I ran 1.5 miles in 13 minutes.
I run 2 miles on the treadmill at the gym 3 days a week. I thought the race would be a piece of cake.
It was harder with all those people, my competitiveness came out & I wanted to pass people bad. Once I found my stride I was good. At the end I really wanted to beat the lady in the blue shorts. We kept passing each other. She was a step ahead of me at the finish.
I finished 26th out of 44 racers & my time was 15:54.
I had some friends show up & my hubby attended as official picture taker.
Thank You all for the support! More race pictures.

You Won't See Me by The Beatles

When I call you up
Your line's engaged
I have had enough
So act your age
We have lost the time
That was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

I don't know why you
Should want to hide
But I can't get through
My hands are tied
I won't want to stay
I don't have much to say
But I can't turn away
And you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing

Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing

Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

WPHS 20 Year Reunion

White Pigeon's class of 1988 celebrated 20 years last night.
They had a Hawaiian theme, The reunion was very nicely done & they had a great turn out.
Apparently the class of 1988 enjoys beer immensely as the keg was gone by 9:00. Another was promptly ordered. Dudes? What was in the punch? I know I was not drunk when I left but, I've had hang-over like symptoms all day. *ugh*

I felt my always present social ineptness come to the forefront last night. I kept thinking...I know all these people but I have no memories with any of them. I had no stories to reminisce about.
The people I hung out with in school were in other grades & or in other schools. In school I aways dreamed of hanging out with the "Cool Crowd". So when you do as an adult......those deeply buried High School insecurities sneak up on you a bit I think.
I thank God that I had reconnected with some people like Carol, Chelle, & Helen for without that I'd never had gone. Robert & I laughed & had fun. I wished that I would have mingled a tad more than I did. (*shrug* Old habits) I found out that I'm even neighbors with one school mate. I walk by their house all the time & I had no clue.
I hope to get more pictures as other people post them. I am rotten, I did not take any. I have to steal a couple of sweet ones of RJ & I off his Mom's camera also.
The pictures I have so far.

I like this song....Get Out Of This House by Shawn Colvin

I did not know that it was country.

Shawn

Colvin

Song: Get Out of This House

I also like "Sunny Came Home" Colvin does that song too.

o jump in the lake, go ride up the hill
Get out of this house
It's a house of your making, it's a house of ill will
Get out of this house


Go listen to Buddha, go listen to Joe
Get out of this house
If anyone asks, you tell them you don't know
Get out of this house


I spent eleven long years in a hot house zone
I spent twentynine more trying to get home
Well I never got home, but I did what I did
And I got myself this house and you can't come in


I'm the queen of my castle, I'm the king of my room
Get out of this house
I got more than I need, more than I ever could use
Get out of this house


I spent seventeen years trying to save my soul
I spent twentythree more down in the hole
Now my soul is alright but I might get found out
I got myself this house now and I can't get out


If I see you again it will be in my head at the end of a cloud
If you see me again it will be in your head telling you to get out


You act like a baby, you talk like a fool
Get out of this house
Go back to your mama, go back to high school
Get out of this house


Go jump in the lake, go jump out the door
Get out of this house
I've had all I can stand and I can't stand no more
Get out of this house
Get out of this house
