This Is Good...

Random song lyrics that I found in my notebook This is where I start to sing my love song make each line end with a simple rhyme maybe that is how it goes but there is something that I know, that this ain't just another song this is where I state what's wrong. You say that you want honesty, well honey you go first. Cause I'm giving it my all for what it's worth. So right here right now is all I'm asking for Jump in with me don't stand there on the shore. You're telling me to walk away when you're the one who taught me how. So you go first, and we can go our separate ways. And the days that follow they all seem the same, stuck on repeat it plays on in my head. And the words don't seem to come and so I sit with a bass drum beating in my ears, and feeding all my fears. This is where I have to change it up use a metaphor that gets misconstrued. You'll post it on your wall though you don't get it at all. And it'll make you think of me and all ...

So I don't know about you but music is something I can't live without. I was recently watching this show on Bravo called "Star Portraits" and you guessed it they paint famous people. Anyway, the lead singer of Blue Rodeo was on it and he mentioned something about how he can't understand people that don't love music. The people that don't know the words when you're on a road trip. That kind of thing. And frankly I have to agree. I can't imagine what it would be like to hear a song and not feel anything. Some songs I can listen to over and over and that chill factor that you get never goes away. Just the lyrics themselves can bring a smile to my face. On another note- the Duncan garage. I have been privileged to see some of my favourite artists perform there over the years and hearing that song that you love live cannot be compared to anything that I can fathom. I think back on it and just smile. This is one of those moments.. it's Aidan knight...

So if you know me at all, you know that Audrey Hepburn is kind of my idol. Not only was she extremely gorgeous and a style icon that is still influencing fashion today, but until the day she died she was also an ambassador for UNICEF. But I'm not here to talk about Audrey today. In her movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" there is a scene where Holly Go-lightly is about to go to Brazil with Jose but Frank meets her at the apartment as Holly is having a case of "the mean reds." Now I know we've all been blue before and a little down, but The Mean Reds are just a step beyond, and I have to admit, I've got 'em. I have my good days and bad days but sometimes this gross red feeling just comes out of nowhere and I just can't see the light. It always passes but you can't ignore the fact that it may come up again. Mean Reds 1 Amy 0

The day was Friday and the rain was coming down, not pouring like most, but misting in way that only Vancouver Island can. Jamie and I were about to embark on an adventure new to the both us, the goal, tackle Maple Mountain. We were supposed to go with the boys cause they were going to "show us how to tackle a real mountain." Unfortunately a funeral kept them from taking us, but being the brave adventurers that we are, we figured we could do it ourselves. Now I didn't even know where this mountain was so you can tell I was in for a suprise. So I met up with Jamie and we made our way to Crofton! Driving along, we chatted about the things that girls do, boys. After a while we pulled over on the side of the road and parked, I let out a cheerful "let's do this!" and we started to gather our things for the hike. Jamie reached into the backseat and grabbed the red club to put on her steering wheel. Then a bloodcurdling cry rang out and she buried her head in sham...

So yesterday was probably my best Halloween, not that any one point was extremely fantastic but, when you put all the little moments together, it makes me step back and think This is good! So after my epic church service I got invited to watch the boys football game, so Logan and Stew came to pick me up, wait for it, in a MINI COOPER! Now first of all I love Mini's and secondly, Stewart McWilliam, in a Mini, well I'm sure the visual explains itself. So we drive on down to McAdam Park, and Mary is there too! Which makes my day so much better. Unfortunately the guys lose, and after freezing my toes off (I was wearing my Toms) Logan takes me and Stew back to his house. With the promise of warm soup ringing in our ears Stew and I collapse on the couch for a little R and R while Logan makes us... Mr Noodles. Ah well, it was rather appreciated nonetheless. After our delectable soup and a tour of Logan's gun collection (party!) we decorated Logan's front yard for trick or trea...
