Things are looking pretty good right now. I'm having a blast at class, work is fun-I love who I work with, we always have a great time, Becky is back from Italy, Lora and Joyce are coming to visit soon, I have two beautiful nephews, great friends, a great family, a great guy who makes me feel... well, great... It's good to have good friends. So things are pretty damn good for me right now, no reason for me to complain.

This week has been tiring, only because it's get up at 5:30, get ready for work, go to work and be there by 7:30, get off at 4:30, get home, walk Quebert and Jack, feed them, try and feed myself, get to bartending class by 6, be there until 10, go home, walk Quebert and Jack, and then sleep. So, it's been kinda hectic. I'm sorry if I haven't been available very much lately, or if I haven't noticed anything that may be bothering any of you, things have just been crazy.

Kay, I'm off. <3 to all.

another morning

2003-08-19T13:31:22Z

Today I'm still in my mellow mood. Class was really fun last night, I had a great time. I think it'll be good for me, 'cause it'll give me something to do so I don't dwell on stupid shit. (Besides, there's no reason to dwell, dwelling only makes me feel like crap, and why would I wanna feel that way?)

A lot of people think it's ironic that I'm going to a bartending college since I've never been drunk, but the instructor says that's the best way to do it actually. Why? I dunno.

Well, I'm heading off for now. <3 to all.

Well it's all so overrated
In not saying how you feel
So you end up watching chances fade
And wondering what's real

And I Give you just a little time
I, Wonder if you realize
I've been waiting till I see it in your eyes

...Obviously he didn't realize it.

Happy Now
Michelle Branch

No, don’t just walk away
Pretending everything’s ok
And you don’t care about me
And I know there’s just no use
When all your lies become your truths and I don’t care... yeah, yeah, yeah

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you’re happy now, ohhh, ohhh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

You took all there was to take,
And left me with an empty plate
And you don’t care about it, yeah.
And I am givin' up this game
I’m leaving you with all the blame cause I don’t care, yeah, yeah yeah,

Could you look me in the eye?
And tell me that you’re happy now, oohh oohhh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now? yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you really have everything you want?
You could never give somethin' you ain't got
You can’t run away from yourself

Could you look me in the eye?
and tell me that you're happy now, yeah, yeah
come on, tell it to my face or have i been replaced,
are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh
are you happy now?

Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I’ve had that all I can take
I'm not about to break
Cause I’m happy now, ohhh, ohhh
Are you happy now?

Bathwater
No Doubt

You and your museum of lovers
The precious collection you've housed in your covers
My simpleness threatened by my own admission

And the bags are much too heavy
In my insecure condition
My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again

But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

Wanted and adored by attractive women
Bountiful selection at your discretion
I know I'm diving into my own destruction

So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
I don't fit in so why do you want me?
And I know I can't tame you...but I just keep trying

'Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I'm on your list with all your other women
But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
You make me feel like I couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?

So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions

'Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
Share a toothbrush...you're my kind of man
I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Make me feel like I couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

No I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I still love to wash in your old bathwater

Sunday Morning
No Doubt

Sappy pathetic little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees
I'd trade you places any day
I'd never thought you could be that way
But you looked like me on Sunday
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday Morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning

I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well... so well

You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange
Out of fashion so I can complain

You came in with the breeze
On Sunday Morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning

I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well... so well

I know who I am, but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's looking quite as clear

Thank you, for turning on the light
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now, you're looking like I used to!

You came in with the breeze
On Sunday Morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
And you want me badly
You cannot have me

I thought I knew you
I've got a new view
I thought I knew you well...oh well

Breathe
Michelle Branch

I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
You say I've been driving you crazy
and its keeping you away
So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
'Cause I dont wanna waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say

And I Take it just a little bit
I, hold my breath and count to ten
I, I've been waiting for a chance to let you in

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space in between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe

Well it's all so overrated
In not saying how you feel
So you end up watching chances fade
And wondering what's real

And I Give you just a little time
I, Wonder if you realize
I've been waiting till I see it in your eyes

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe
Breathe

So I whisper and I'm,
Hoping you hear me
Do you hear me?

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright

I've been drinving for an hour
Just talking to the rain

Motorcycle Driveby
Third Eye Blind

Summer time and the wind is blowing outside in lower Chelsea.
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city,
The sun is always in my eyes,
It crashes through the windows, And I'm sleeping on the couch,
When I came to visit you,
That's when I knew, That I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I'm the one who's stupid,
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes, And you don't mind,
you smile,
And say the world doesn't fit with you.
I don't believe you, You're so serene.
Careening through the universe, Your axis on a tilt, You're guiltless and free,
I hope you take a piece of me with you,
And there's things I would like to do that you don't believe in,
I would like to build something, Buy you'll never going see it happen,
And there's this burning, Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, And I've,
I've never been so alive,

And there's this burning, There is this burning ay ay ay.
Where's the soul. I want to know, New York City is evil.
The surface is everything, but I could never do that,
Someone would see through that.
And this is the last time, We'll be friends again.
I'll get over you, you'll wonder, who I am.
And there's this burning, Just like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, alone, alive, alive, I've never been so alive, so alive

I go home to the coast. It starts to rain, I paddle out on the water alone,
Taste the salt and taste the pain. I'm not thinking of you again,
Summer dies and swells rise,
The sun goes down in my eyes,
See this rolling wave,
Darkly coming to take me home,

And I never been so alone, And I've never been so alive.

Random poem

2003-08-18T15:03:33Z

Remember

I awoke early this morning,
rising long before the sun dared to share its warmth.
I sat beside the window in silent reverence,
my eyes peering far into the early morning sky...

And I thought of you.

I thought of the times that we have spent together,
and about the memories that we have shared.
I remembered our correlative dreams, our shed tears, our mirthful laughter...

I wish that our time togethjer didn't have to end,
that I didn't have to leave...
Despite the arduous and troubling times that we have been through,
we survived... somehow.

Even though I must go, know that my feelings for you remain the same as they always have.
Know that I will always carry a piece of you with me,
that I will remember what we had.

That I will dream of you,
that I will never forget us, never forget you.

But most of all, remember that I will always love you, and that this not the end of me and you...

There is no end.

----

I found that poem scratched down on a piece of tattered paper as I was unpacking some of my stuff yesterday. I don't really remember writing it, or what the hell motivated me to write it, all I know is I wrote it back in 2001. Interesting.

-Ralai

What the hell is there to say, really?

2003-08-18T13:46:39Z

I'm feeling pretty mellow and calm today. Well, more like numb. That's a more fitting word in all honesty. Just sort of... going through the motions. There's not all that much for me to say.

Would it even matter anyway if I had something to say?

I'm starting to wonder if anyone really knows me at all. Of course, there is the reality that you can never fully, completely know someone, but I'm just starting to feel like no one knows me that well at all. Those who I was close to, for one reason or another, we've drifted. And those who I thought I could get close to never really cared about me at all. How morose is that?

In all honesty, I'm starting to feel empty. I'm tired of always being lonely and constantly questioning what is wrong with me. So I'm thinking feeling empty is a much better course of action. At least that way, I won't have to feel anything, especially pain. I'm tired of being hurt by people and of being cast aside by people and always feeling like I'm just not good enough. That I'm not worth it. I'm tired of it and I'm just plain tired. It's like everyone around me gets to be happy except for me. I always thought I was a decent person, so why can't I be happy? Why aren't I happy? Why do people always end up hurting me and making me feel shitty?

And once again, here I am, complaining when I should just shut my mouth and suck it up and get the fuck over it.

Maybe I'm not such a decent person after all.

p.s. I miss Matt.

Not surprising, eh?

There are two people who can instantly make me feel like complete and utter shit without even saying a word. Juanita, my friend, is one of them. I don't know what the hell it is about her, but she can make me feel so small, stupid, and shitty without even uttering a damn fucking word.

Marine stationed in Afghanistan recently received a "Dear John" letter
from his girlfriend back home. It read as follows:

Dear Ricky,

I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us
is just too great. I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since
you've been gone, and it's not fair to either of us. I'm sorry. Please
return the picture of me that I sent to you.

Love,
Becky

The Marine, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow Marines for any snapshots
they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters, ex-girlfriends, aunts,
cousins etc. In addition to the picture of Becky, Ricky included all the
other pictures of the pretty gals he had collected from his buddies. There
were 57 photos in that envelope....along with this note:

Dear Becky,

I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who you are. Please take
your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.

Take Care,
Ricky

Well... yesterday was a rather stressful one. But I got to talk to Manda and Kim, so that was something on the up side. Matt also called me... it was so nice to hear from him, even though it was only for a few minutes. I'm kind of worried about him... he sounded really down or upset or something... There was just something in his voice that was off. I hope he's okay. He didn't say too much really... another reason why I'm kinda worried. These past few weeks have been pretty hard on me, and Matt's been the only one who's been calling me really, so I hope he knows that I'm always here for him. I have good friends I know I can call, it's just a matter of me feeling like a bother. Everyone has their own stuff to deal with...

...besides, when you do try to lean on someone who claims they are your friend and that they care about you, and you open up and make a comment such as "I just feel like I'm falling apart right now" and they simply ignore it and inquire about your hawaiian exotic dancing friend... doesn't exactly make you feel like there's a point.

I'm learning to deal on my own. I should be use to it now as it is. Love to all.

Gen's angry... with good reason. I don't know why Em does the things she does sometimes. I told her why I've been annoyed with her, and she asked if that was the same reason Gen has been, all I said was I don't know. I don't want to be saying something Gen doesn't want me to.

So, here's the deal... Gen likes this guy we see around base a lot, and Em had to go and honk at him. So he looks up, natuarally, at the driver-since obviously that's who honked, so I just waved so distract him from her. Didn't really know what else to do. But now Gen is highly unhappy with the entire situation.

Saw Trey today. He's pretty nice. We're probably gonna hang out sometime.

Matt's been hella busy, and I miss him tons.

That's about the it.

Well, I learned a lot of things last night, and am happy to say that now it seems as if I can finally let things be. And be very content with the way they are. Things are all squared away.

Apparently I'm getting married to Matt on August 22, 2005.

Kala and I talked for a very long time last night, that was very interesting, not to mention fun. She's a kick ass person.

Short update, not too much to say right now. Besides, I gotta get to work.

I don't know what my problem is but I have been feeling antsy and stressed out all day long. I just feel sick to my stomach, and all for nothing... but obviously it's something or else I wouldn't be feeling this way, right?

I've learned not to assume anything. So, Anthony, I'm sorry for doing that.

Also, I know there's no need to question if Anthony cares/cared about me, because if he didn't he wouldn't worry about hurting me... besides, I know him well enough to know he's not like that. So once again, apologies.

I'm just feeling stressed out right now and I feel like there's really no one there for me right now. I know people say they are, but when I try to lean on them they end up ignoring me or just don't have time... so what's the point?

I miss Matt.

Okay... an entry in Anthony's journal has been really bothering me. He said he can't understand why he's accepting less than quality people to date and why he keeps going on shitty dates with girls he knows won't last...

I didn't realize I was less than quality to date... or that our dates were shitty... In fact, I thought we had a great time together, but hey-maybe I judged wrong or something. Maybe I was the only one who had a good time? Who knows.

Blah.
