Three Days Grace: Never Too Late

neophyte — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 19:33:01 -0600

This world will never be what I expected.
And if I don't belong who would have guessed it...?
I will not leave alone everything that I own
to make you feel like it's not too late.
It's never too late...

Even if I say "It'll be all right,"
still I hear you say you want to end your life...
Now and again we try to just stay alive.
Maybe we'll turn it all around,
'cause it's not too late.
It's never too late...

The one we'll never see is the side reflected.And if there's something wrong, who would have guessed it...?

Harry Chapin - Cat's in the Cradle

Kerry — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 17:51:02 -0700

A child arrived just the other day,
He 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.
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

My son turned ten just the other day.

One Republic - Apologize

Kerry — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 17:59:57 -0600

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...

Mommy had. A little baby.
There he is. Fast asleep.
He's just. A little plaything.
Why not. Wake him up?
Cute. Cute. Little baby.
Little pee pee. Little toes.
Now he's comin' to me.
Crawl across. The kitchen floor.

Baby, baby, please let me hold him
I wanna make him stay up all night
Sister, sister, he's just a plaything
We wanna make him stay up all night
Yeah we do

See him drink. From a bottle.
See him eat. From a plate.
Cute. Cute. As a button.
Don't you wanna make him. Stay up late.
And we're having fun. With no money.
Little smile. On his face.

Tom Jones - It's Not Unusual (Carlton Dance)

Kerry — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 22:57:15 -0600

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry, oh I wanna' die

It's not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it's such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone, It's not unusual
it happens every day no matter what you say

You'll find that happens all the time
Love will never do what you want it to
why can't this crazy love be mine

It's not unusual to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone

3 Doors Down - Be Like That

Kerry — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 20:02:06 -0600

He spends his whole life being too young,
To live the life that he dreams
And now he lies awake and wonders
Why can't that be me?
Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions.
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now.
Just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me and he says

If I could be like that (like that)
I'd would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes.
If I could be like that (like that), what would I do?
What would I do? yeah

Now in dreams we run.

Chemical Dumbing Down of America

Why is America so brainwashed by the corporate media? Why do we care more about American Idol and sports games than being poisoned with mercury in our vaccinations and sodium fluoride in our water supply? America needs to wake up and get the facts about our chemical manipulation before it's too late.

Dr. Ann Corwin: Attachment Theory

Kerry — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:20:09 -0600

Children are eager learners, but because their brains are still developing, they learn in ways we don't often think about. Seemingly small matters like eye contact or physical movement can be powerful motivators used to communicate certain messages to a child.

Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

Kerry — Tue, 15 May 2007 09:37:20 -0600

(silent lucidity)

Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years

Soulja Boy - Instructional Video

When I wrote about my Captain Chubby Cubby,(http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/8508) never did I think he would be the star-athlete that he is proving himself to be. He's the boy who can joke and play and goof at practice, but slam goals in the hockey net (I call them "pitch-owwws!"), run bases and score all over the field, and tackle/score like it's a piece of cake. Last weekend My Captain Chubby Cubby was showing me his "victory dance", and explained how this guy always wears a towel when he dances. I was thinking: you did too when you looked at yourself in the mirror, Shaggy!

Crosby Stills & Nash - Teach Your Children

Kerry — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 23:27:55 -0700

You, who are on the road,
Must have a code that you can live by.
And so, become yourself,
Because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by.
And feed them on your dreams,
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by.
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,
