Incredible

Incredible

Just one of those things
When everything goes incredible
And all is beautiful
(Can't get my head around, I need to think about it) (x2)
And one of those things
That used to get you down
Now have no effect at all
Cause life is beautiful
(Can't get my head around it, I need to think about it) (x2)

Remembering the very first time
You caught that some ones' specials eye
And all of your care dropped
And all of the world just stopped

(I hope) I want to go back to then
Got to figure out how, got to remember when
I felt it, it thrilled me
I want it, to fill me

Just one of those things
When everything goes incredible
And all is beautiful
(Can't get my head around, I need to think about it) (x2)
And one of those things
That used to get you down
Now have no effect at all
Cause life is beautiful
(Can't get my head around it, I need to think about it) (x2)

You don't know what you got 'til it's gone
And everything in life just goes wrong
Feels like nobody's listening
And something is missing

(I hope) I want to go back to then
Got to figure out how, got to remember when
I felt it, it thrilled me
I want it, to fill me

Just one of those things
When everything goes incredible
And all is beautiful
(Can't get my head around, I need to think about it) (x2)
And one of those things
That used to get you down
Now have no effect at all
Cause life is beautiful
(Can't get my head around it, I need to think about it) (x2)

I remember when
You were the one
You were my friend
You gave me life
You were the sun
You taught me things
I didn't run
I fell to my knees
I didn't know why
I started to breathe
I wanted to cry
I need a reminder
So I can relate
I need to go back there
Before it's too late

It's time to get your hands up
It's time to get your body groving (x4)

Just one of those things
When everything goes incredible
And all is beautiful
(Can't get my head around, I need to think about it) (x2)
And one of those things
That used to get you down
Now have no effect at all
Cause life is beautiful
(Can't get my head around it, I need to think about it) (x2)

Incredible
Let's finish what we started
Incredible
You're welcome to my party

I don't want this to end
I am missing my best friend
It was incredible
There is no reason
(Sex with you is...)

Incredible
(Hey girl)
Just finish what we started
(Let's finish where we started girl)
Incredible
(Hey girl)
You're welcome to my party
(I'm coming to your party girl)
Don't want this thing to end
I'm missing my best friend
Yes it was incredible
There's no reason to pretend
Incredible

It's time to get your body grooving
It's time to get your hands up (continuing in the background)

It's incredible, unbelievable
It's incredible, unachievable
It's incredible, metaphysical
It's incredible

(Sex with you is...)

Incredible
Let's finish what we started
Incredible
You're welcome to my party
(I'm coming to your party) (x2)

Incredible
(Hey girl)
Just finish what we started
(Let's finish where we started girl)
Incredible
(Hey girl)

(Hey girl, let's finish where we started, hey girl)

all i really want...

I heard this the other day and remembered how appropriate this was when I first listened to this Alanis song...

and I want to stress that this isn't meant to offend or be angry at anyone other than my mental trappings and musements. Things that have wondered about my soul.

I love every stanza of this song as it literally progresses, although I've highlighted my favorites. This song opens itself up for possibilities, to leave one's soul to search and yearn for the answers.

"All I Really Want"

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need know is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

***And now when I listen to this song, I'm not so angry anymore. I'm learning to calm the angry voices in my mind... Change is inevitable and isn't what we always think it is.

Weight Loss

I'm not really putting down gastric bypass or other surgical procedures...

If that's what it takes to get someone to be concerned about his/her health, then by all means do whatever it takes.

BUT...

The truth of the matter is, no matter what method one chooses to lose weight three things are involved:

1. There's work involved.  Even after surgery you still have to work to lose the rest and keep it off.  Even if you modified your eating habits, you still have to burn more than you consume.  One can't lose weight just on not eating alone... especially if one practices a sedentary lifestyle.

2.  You still have to modify your diet.  Well, before and after surgery one has to have a liquid diet (which doesn't sound so great).  But even afterwards, you still have to get used to eating less and eating more healthy.

3. No one else is going to be more motivated than you are to lose weight.  Even if you've got everyone screaming in your ear to lose it, you're the only one who's gotta want it in the end.  So, do it for yourself, if you can't see doing it for anyone else.

And remember if you're stuck... change your perspective.

NY Assembly Passes Marriage Equality Bill
Category: News and Politics

New York Assembly Passes Marriage Equality Bill (source: HRC)

Bill Heads to State Senate; Would Provide Marriage Equality for Same-Sex Couples Under New York Law

WASHINGTON - Today, the New York State Assembly voted 85 to 61 to pass AB 8590, a bill that would provide same-sex couples with the equal right to marry under state law. The bill now goes to the state Senate.

"We congratulate the New York Assembly for passing this important, fair-minded bill, and we also congratulate Empire State Pride Agenda and Marriage Equality NY for their hard work.," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese." We also thank Governor Spitzer for his leadership -- this bill got its start when the Governor followed through on his unequivocal promise to fight for marriage equality."

Solmonese continued, "As I have been pleased to observe on more than one occasion recently, there is a steadily building wave of support for equality in more and more states, and we hope New York will add to that momentum by recognizing that all loving and committed couples deserve full equality under the law. This is about basic fairness for same-sex couples and their families."

Already this year, legislatures in several states have taken a stand for equality for same-sex couples and their families. Last week, the Massachusetts legislature rejected, by a 151-45 vote, a discriminatory proposed constitutional amendment that would have rolled back marriage equality in the Bay State. Earlier this month, California's Assembly passed a marriage equality bill; that bill is pending in the state Senate. Earlier this year, civil union legislation was signed into law in New Hampshire, while domestic partnership bills were signed into law in Oregon and Washington.

Last year, New York's high court ruled against marriage equality in a 4-2 decision. The majority opinion in Hernandez v. Robles concluded that whether same-sex marriages deserve equal recognition "is a question to be addressed by the Legislature." The court's Chief Judge predicted in dissent that "future generations will look back on today's decision as an unfortunate misstep."

If the New York marriage equality bill is signed into law, New York would join Massachusetts as the second state to provide marriage equality for same-sex couples under state law. Ten states, plus Washington, D.C., now have laws providing at least some form of state-level relationship recognition for same-sex couples.

The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against GLBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

i miss you...

i miss Nanay...

today makes 1 year since you've been gone.

i love you.

For my Grandmother

Walking to your casket alone
Afraid to see you as you slumber
More afraid of what I feel
Not to see you as you see me again

Wishing you were somehow here
Longing for your love
Remembering the days we've spent together
Sharing happiness without words

Taking a deep breath I look inside
You're so peaceful as you lay there
So beautiful in your gown
With a smile forever etched in my memory

So many things I want to say to you
To be able to speak one-on-one
To tell you how much I love you and
How sorry I am I was not there

If I could I would take back every moment
Every moment I thought I didn't want to be with you
Selfish in motive I turned away
Only now to have regret

But when I last saw you
All that went away
When no words could have expressed any emotion
You saw who I am

With your eyes you saw the beautiful soul I've been longing to be
With a love untainted by time
You saw the soul I was too scared to show
But you always knew was there

A moment I will always treasure for the rest of my life
Just as all the moments you fed me as a little child
All I could do to repay your love and kindness
Was to take one moment and do the same for you

Helping dress you
Just as you have probably done for me
I knew you knew everything would be okay
You've seen in me someone different, a more mature me

With your eyes
I see your unconditional love
And as I walk away from your coffin
I know I'm never alone

Homophobia

Homophobia: A Poem By Marquesse Sanchez


I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends im a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson"

Slide

Slide

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you want to feel
Ill give you anything
To feel it comin
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

Chorus:
I wanna wake up where you are
I wont say anything at all
So why dont you slide

Yeah were gonna let it slide

Dont you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Dont suppose Ill ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I cant change
Ill live around it

Chorus

And Ill do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh,may put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh,may do you wanna get married
Or run away

Chorus

Into the Mystic

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I dont have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...

when i fall

"When I Fall"

I look straight in the window, try not to look below
Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees

[Chorus]
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And if I should try
Would you catch me if I fall?

My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
Can't look below me, or something might throw me
Curse at the windstorms that October brings

I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive

I wish I could step from this scaffold
Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead

Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
I look like a painter, behind all the grease
But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece

[Chorus]

and now, a little country

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
Like I've never felt with anyone else

I wana give back what you've givin' to me
And I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more then just your man

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...

When you wake up, I'll be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out for me
I'll cherish your words and I'll finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass baby, when you get lost

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...

Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more, I wanna be your everything...
I wanna be your everything. (Back to Top)

refuse... [a note to myself - unfinished]

... to be the person who plays the same game as everyone else to get what you want.

... to be the person who makes other people jealous to see if the object of your affection is paying attention.

... to be the person who steps on other people's toes because you think you shouldn't care.

... to be the person who walks away from love, because you're too scared of getting hurt.
