Home is the place you grow up wanting to leave
and grow old wanting to get back to.

my opera

April 07 2006

i had to write an opera (well... part of one ) for my intro to music class. it was rather late at night and well... here is how it turned out...


“The Dove”



 


Opening Chorus


            Happy is she when she is in love


            Her heart – it flutters, it flies


            Her love is more beautiful that a winged dove


            A winged dove in the clear April skies



 


Recitative (to be sung by Jane)


            I see my love as he walks my way


            Let us walk together and be happy


            Talk with me


            Tell me of your love for me


            Tell me of my beauty



 


Aria (to be sung by John)


            My love for her passes all understanding


            But even I know she’s a bit too demanding


            Her beauty is beyond compare


            She’s perfect- right down to the shade of her hair


            But alas I must do what my heart is commanding



 


Recitative (to be sung by Jane)


You look troubled dearest one


            What is wrong?



 


            Do not say those words


            Do not make me cry


            Do not walk away



 


Aria (to be sung by Jane)


            He walked way from me


            All he said was that he had to leave


            I want a reason for all my tears


            I want an end to all my fears


            Because it only hurts when I breathe



 


Closing Chorus


Unhappy is she when she is no longer in love


            Her heart – it breaks, it cries


            When the love left, she killed that stupid dove


            Because the dove was his love and his love was all lies



 


** N.B.** This is not a song about me. While I am rather bitter, you don’t have to worry. I haven’t killed any doves…yet.



 









Kim's opera was RATHER amusing...if you asker nicely, maybe she'll post it. ---and yes the note at the bottom was included in the copy i turned into my teacher.

i'm not sure if it's more painful
to watch
with the knowledge that there is nothing i can do



or the knowledge that there is nothing i can say

it just hurts

the Quote of the Week



"The most common error made in the matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possiblility, you are not attractive-- you are leaking."



- Fran Lebowiz

Quote of the Week

March 19 2006

and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking
cause what they're thinking...

she's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
she said to me that she's so stressed out that it's soothing
and all i said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"

cause when it's black (it) means watch your back because you're probably
the last person in the world right now she wants to see
and when it's blue it means that you should call her up immediately
and ask her out because she'll most likely agree
and when it's green it simply means that she is really stressed
and when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless (and that's all right i must confess)

we all know the girls that i am talking about
she liked you wednesday but now it's friday and she has to wash her hair
and it just figures that we'll never figure them out
first she's jekyll and then she's hyde....at least she makes a lovely pair

mood ring oh mood ring
oh tell me will you bring
the key to unlock this mystery
of girls and their emotions
play it back in slow motion
so i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind



ok so it's a the majority of a relient k song....... but hey.... check out the pics from this weekend!

mom

March 16 2006

so over Christmas break i sat flipping through all the gun mag's that stack up beside my father's armchair, as my mother walked over. i happened to be perusing the blue press in which the new calander for the year was introduced

(sorry gents that the picture is a bit blurry - lol)



for those of you who may be unfamiliar with press the general premise of the calendar is gorgeous, "well-proportioned" females holding really large, antique, or especially fun guns



it was at this point that mom said, "hey they should get you for that!"



now as much fun as the guns would be for me....i laughed.....



then so did she

a strange phenomena

March 14 2006

so we all know that kim and i are close


in fact we're REALLY close



but some times the scarry part is just how ALIKE we are



we will respond in the same manner without thought and
often reply to people at the smae time in the EXACT same words



the people we meet often either confuse us or can't tell us apart



which is kinda understandable



we like the same things



often feel the same way



think the same way


which can sometimes produce difficult situations


but we still love each other



but hey ok enough about us
i mean
it's not like we like to take pictures of ourselves


Untitled

March 13 2006

the buttload of new pictures is from spring break when kim and i went with her parents to Fort Myers, FL to say with her grandparents in their condo





 and the time around it



the above shot was our view for a rather long time
our 3 1/2 hour trip from Louisville back to the Boro took....



8 HOURS



with standstill traffic and a detour that was NOT optional we....yeah....drove forever.......



so go check out the pictures

*sry for the lyric content but the words about cover it*



MY GIVE A DAMN’S BUSTED by Jo Dee Messina

WELL YOU FILLED UP MY HEAD WITH SO MANY LIES
YOU'VE TWISTED MY HEART ‘TIL SOMETHING SNAPPED INSIDE
I'D LIKE TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY
BUT, MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED

YOU CAN CRAWL BACK HOME, SAY YOU WERE WRONG
STAND OUT IN THE YARD AND CRY ALL NIGHT LONG
GO AHEAD AND WATER THE LAWN
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED

CHORUS:
I REALLY WANNA CARE
I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING
LET ME DIG A LITTLE DEPPER
NO, SORRY, NOTHING

YOU CAN SAY YOU'VE GOT ISSUES
YOU CAN SAY YOU'RE A VICTIM
IT'S ALL YOUR PARENTS' FAULT, I MEAN AFTER ALL YOU DIDN'T PICK EM
MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE HAS GOT TIME TO LISTEN
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED

WELL YOUR THERAPIST SAYS IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE
A PRODUCT OF THE PROZAC AND YOUR CODEPENDENT WAYS
SO WHO'S YOUR ENABLER THESE DAYS
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED

CHORUS:
I REALLY WANNA CARE
I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING
LET ME DIG A LITTLE DEPPER
NO, STILL NOTHING

IT'S A DESPERATE SITUATION
NO TELLIN WHAT YOU'LL DO
IF I DON'T FORGIVE YOU, YOU SAY YOUR LIFE IS THROUGH
COME ON GIVE ME SOMETHING I CAN USE
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED

CHORUS:
WELL, I REALLY WANNA CARE
I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING
LET ME DIG A LITTLE DEEPER
NO, MAN, SORRY
JUST NOTHING, NO

YOU'VE REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED

Quote of the Week

February 20 2006



well, the sign is funny enough but as we are discussing the bill of rights in my American government and politics class i am mentally frustrated. my class in full of stupid liberals that nauseate and annoy me the quote will fully satisfy my irritation.



*PLEASE NOTE* I am moderate-conservative and there is a STRONG distinction between a liberal and a stupid liberal. Liberals generally now what they believe and why they believe it. The have legitimate concerns just like conservatives. Stupid liberals just want to Bush bash, whine, and conplain without ANY ability to comprehend the world of politics around them.



now, with that said......
the quote of the week....
(liberals may enjoy this one due to recent events, but even i have a sense of humor)



Gun Control is not missing the target.
