of the life stories we share...
"it's just my life story
minute by second, my story
that goes on forever,
with each breath that i take
this is my life story
celebrating my story
of smiles and tears
and birthday cakes..."

of the boy who couldnt fly...
"I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd...but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me..."
~Superman
Five For Fighting
superman
he who saves the world
every boy's superhero
.
in the real world,
he who lives up to every expectation
who meets and exceeds everything
that those he holds dear
have come to expect of him
.
but what if he doesnt??
he, of mere flesh
do fail
do screw up
and bleed
and tear
.
superman?
hardly
cos really..
it's not easy
to be
me

of the people that we find again...
" How can I find something
That two can take
Without stumbling as we
Walk into our future's wake
I'm like a broken record
That you can play
Repeating as if it matters
Everything I want to say..."
~ As Long As It Matters
Gin Blossoms
i've always believed
that it's important
that we go out there
and live our lives
the best we could
.
and in the process
the places
and the people we leave behind
with a silent wish that perhaps one day
one sweet day
we'll find each other again
.
and sometimes we do?
by some strange sleight of hand
and twist of fate
we do
.
so for as long as it matters
and it does
here and now it does
.
thank you
for you're still you
you're still you...

of the chances and the reasons...
*note: i am replicating the post below that was originally dated 05 Jan 2004, a post i wrote about a year and a half ago. I dun usually do this, but in the light of a recent spade of events, I guess it's appropriate and more then well-suited...*
********
some believe: based on the laws of probability, it's all by chance
.
some say: everythin happens for a reason
.
but what if they're both right ???
maybe it's both
.
maybe - chance creates opportunity for a reason

of the sons who become fathers
" My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
And as he grew he said,
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad,
You know I'm gonna be like you."
Chorus:
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
"When you comin' home?"
"Son, I don't know when. We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."
Well, my son turned ten just the other day He said,
"Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play.
Could you teach me to throw?"
I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do."
He said, "That's okay."
And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
"You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him."
Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
"What I'm feeling like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please?"
I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
It's been sure nice talkin' to you."
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me..."

ultimately?
it's still karma
what goes around
does comes around
.
so fathers
treat your sons well
so when they are fathers themselves
they will be the kind of dad to their sons
that you were once to them

of the birthday and the reminding
"and it's still rainin outside
and i'm still sittin alone
watchin as the tearful heavens cry
i'm not sad
just reminded
of how it used to be
when we were young and so in love..."
~Reminded
The Crop Circles
sometimes i forget?
when everyday life drags us by the hair and run
we keep up,
or at least try to
.
but some things i remember
and the things i've always wanted to say
so much
for so long
.
it was so good hearin her voice again
i don't know why i didnt call
.
the promises we make
we know we're gonna break
.
sumtimes all we need is jus that one chance
an opportunity to be reminded
altho only for a lil while
to wish her
and to catch up
and to be reminded
oh so reminded
.
happy birthday baby
