What's your Irish Name?





Your Irish Name Is...



Lorna Flynn



Who's the True You?

The True You

You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed.
With respect to money, you spend as little as possible.
You think good luck doesn't exist - reality is built on practicalities.
The hidden side of your personality tends to be methodical in your ways - with trouble adapting to the rules of society.
You have a tendency to overdo things, but basically you value your friendships highly.
When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you base your search on information from your friends.

Me and My Big Mouth

Don't really know what I was thinking. Just trying to be a friend and opened my big mouth. Maybe what I said was true and that's why our other friend is mad about the comment. I know my friend is only looking out for me and I would NEVER betray my friend's trust. I feel ill...=(

Feeling....

"I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel"

Reunion

Last night was FUN! The new guys played as a full band at Stadium and they rocked. Everyone was out. Friends that we haven't seen in a long time. Band members that are no longer with the band. It was good times. I just wanted to hear "Lullaby"...just once!!

By the way, if you look at the weather to the right it is TOTALLY OFF! I wonder if dynaweather.com is working. The temp is off by at least 40 degrees. I wish it was in the 50's. I will be in cooler weather in less than a week...back up to Greenland and this time, 24 hour daylight!

What Is Your Seduction Style?





Your Seduction Style: The Natural




You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen. Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people. You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find! People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast.

Thank you to Angie for this...

BITCHOLOGY

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.

So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

"If you can't do something right, get a woman to do it."

Have a great day!!!
And always remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!!!

Haven't done this in a while so here we go...



10 Things You Wish You Knew When You Were in High School
1) It's okay to be sociable and hang out after school.
2) Sports is not a bad thing.
3) Don't take Spanish class for granted because you have an easy teacher.
4) McDonald's was not only for the "cool kids".
5) I should have auditioned for IDC and PomPons.
6) I should have applied for the college of my choice(but I do NOT regret UIUC!).
7) Having a boyfriend is okay.
8) Curly permed hair is not all that it's cracked up to be.
9) It's okay not to be part of the popular crowd. Once you get to college, these people you thought were untouchable are actually down to earth and real.
10) Buy your prom dress, don't get it made by some lady who specializes in mass wedding dresses...ugh!

Random Thought

Just a random thought, but it's sad when you go to church and they have to remind you before mass starts to turn off your cellphones and pagers. Do you think you are really that important that you can't remember to turn those things off in church, at the movies, in a meeting and someone else needs to remind you?

We Belong Together

Miss Mariah is coming back with a vengance. Did anyone catch her on the MTV Movie Awards? I love that song We Belong Together. It's a song EVERYONE can relate to.

We Belong Together by Mariah Carey

Verse 1
I didn’t mean it when I said
I didn’t love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should have let you go
I didn’t know nothing,
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn’t have fathomed
I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I’d be sitting
Here beside myself
Guess I didn’t know you
Guess I didn’t know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

Pre-Chorus 1
The feeling that I’m feeling
Now that I don’t hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don’t have a choice
Oh what I wouldn’t give
To have you lying by my side
Right here cause baby

Chorus 1
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Verse 2
I can’t sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack’s on the radio
Singing to me “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”
Wait a minute this is too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial tryin’ to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
“I Only Think Of You” and it’s breakin’ my heart
I’m tryin’ to keep it together but I’m falling apart

Pre-Chorus 2
I’m feeling all out of my element
Throwing things, crying tryin’
To figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain’t even half of what I’m feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life baby

Chorus 2
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Outro
When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together

Live Music

Since working with the band and in the music industry I've been introduced to alot of unknown or at least not-as-popular or mainstream bands. Last night my boys joined our new front man on stage and they opened for Bob Schneider. He used to front a popular Austin band called the Scabs. I was introduced to the music by another amazing musician so I was excited to see that my boys were opening up for him. What a following this man has. And what a coinkadink that I get introduced to an artist one month and the next my boys end up opening up for him. Needless to say, the show was amazing. My boys rocked out and Bob was awesome! Go over and take a listen and check out his cool a$$ site!

Love is...

Love is patient and kind.
It is not jealous or boastful.
It is not arrogant or rude.

Love does not insist on its own way.
It is not irritable or resentful.
It rejoices in the right.

Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things.

1 Corinthians 13

Cannonball

I haven't posted in a while so I guess I'm just catching up. Have you heard of Damien Rice? Well, our new lead singer covers his song Cannonball and it's a good one. Here are the lyrics...go to www.damienrice.com to check out some live footage.

Cannonball by Damien Rice

there’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
there’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
it’s still a little hard to say what's going on

there’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness
there’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
you step a little closer each day
that i can’t say what's going on

stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball

there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that i can't see what's going on

stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon..
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to cry
so come on courage
teach me to be shy
'cause it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna scare her
it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna lose
it's not hard to grow
when you know that you just don't know

True Friendship

Are you tired of all those sissy Friendship poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship:

When you are sad - I will help get you drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
When you smile - I will know you finally got laid.
When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and remind you to quit whining.
When you are confused - I will use little words.
When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
This is my oath ... I pledge it till the end.
Why? You may ask. Because you are my friend.

Remember: A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel.

To all the Good Apples

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just take the rotten apples from the grounds that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men....Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

I love all my apples and grapes!
