Life in Song

Do you ever hear a song and think about a certain time in your life, or feel like you have a current "theme song", or hear a certain song and get filled with hope for the future? Are there some songs for which you think the lyrics seem to be written just for you, and others where you just think "what in the world are they talking about?" or "gees, I hope my life isn't ever that bad"?

Anyway, I decided to do a little "past, present, and future" in song post and hope others will as well (consider yourself TAGGED) - I think it will be fun, and if nothing else, maybe a chance to hear an old favorite or learn something new. I may do this from time to time as well and see how they change. I think perceptions of past, present, and future are always changing no matter how even-keeled your life may seem.

So, here's mine for the time being (and of course I'm sure it would be a different set of songs if you even asked me tomorrow - there are just too many choices!):

Past - we have a little Joe Cocker, Bonnie Raitt, and Journey

Present - from 10,000 Maniacs, to Willie Nelson, to Michael Buble - I love it all right now!

Future - Jackopierce, Rod Stewart, and Ray Lamontagne are making my future look pretty bright!

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
