Fallin

I keep on fallin' in
And out of love with you
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes you make me feel blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Loving you darlin'
Makes me so confused

I keep on fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I'm lovin' you

Oh, oh
I never felt this way
How do you give me
So much pleasure
And cause me so much pain?
And just when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin'
Back in love with you

I keep on fallin'
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I'm lovin' you

Oh baby I
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
Fallin'

I keep on fallin'
In and out (out) of love (love) with you (with you)
I never (never) loved someone (loved)
The way that I'm (I) lovin' you

I'm fallin' in and out of love (of love)
With you (with you)
I never (no) loved someone (no no)
The way that I'm (uh) lovin' you

I'm fallin' in and out of love (of love)
With you (with you)
I never (no) loved someone (no no)
The way that I'm (uh) lovin' you

Over You

I died when I heard your voice after all this time
I poured over ancient letters
poured over faded pictures
poured out the last forgiveness
I thought I was over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

Fly by
Like a colored dream
that will ease your mind
my tears running like molasses
Heart finally collapses
Inside the beautiful the ugliness will hide

I thought I was over you.

Over you...

Words hardly hear rejection
You can't expect me just to lay down
And let you kiss it all away
It's too late.


I died when I heard you voice
After all this time.
I thought I was over you.
Over you.
Over you...

Estoy loca enamorada de ti...

It seemed to be like the perfect thing for you and me
It's so ironic you're what I had pictured you to be
But there are facts in our lives we can never change
Just tell me that you understand and feel the same
This perfect romance that I've created in my mind
I'd live a thousand lives each one with your right by my side
But yet we find ourselves in a less than perfect circumstance
And so it seems like we'll never have the chance

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things your shouldn't feel
Oh I wish this could be real

Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart

Sometimes I think that a true love can never be
I just believe that somehow it wasn't meant for me
Life can be cruel in a way that I can't explain
And I don't think that I can face it all again

I barely know you but somehow I know what you're about
A deeper love I found in you and I no longer doubt
You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I made
And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid

I locked away my heart, but you just set it free
emotions I felt held me back from what my life should be
I pushed you far away
And yet you stayed with me
I guess this means that you and me were meant to be.

Is this Right?

Love is like, taking the hand from a man you just met on the street
You don't know what he's about and he walks to his own beat and he
Takes you on a journey that you can't really define
But you know it might be worth it
You know it's not a waste of your time

Love is like diving into an ocean that is certainly too deep
To feel the sand in your toes, and the bottoms of your feet
But for some strange reason you stay cold and wet
Cuz you know deep down inside you haven't seen
The best of it yet

And all the while you wonder
Is this right?
How do we know if we've never been here before
Is this right?
How do we know...

Should we take a chance tonight
Should I be sitting by your side for the rest of your life?
Is this right? How do we know?

Love is like, jumping from the top of the highest mountain
Just to feel the freedom of no boundaries
And the wind in your hair
And you fly on and on
You fly up to the moon
Cuz this freedom will bring u ecstacy
and you know you're going to feel it soon

And all the while you wonder
Is this right?
How do we know if we've never been here before
Is this right?
How do we know...

Should we take a chance tonight
Should I be sitting by your side for the rest of your life?
Is this right? How do we know?
How do we know?

All I had to do is paint a picture of you in my mind
And I held on tight
Just one look at you I know everything's gonna be alright
And so I'm ready this time...

Is this right?
How do we know?
How do we know?

Husband

My face must have been a teleprompter
The way he read my thoughts
As though he were broadcasting love
All over the airwaves

I must have been transparent for a moment
The way he say right through me

Glass stained with nothing but love

He must have been my soulmate
To make me discover myself

And he could only be God
The way he loved me
The way he was creating universes within me

He could only be one thing

My husband.

An NBC Thanksgiving... The Lost Dr. Seuss

Twas the night of Thanksgiving at NBC
All the employees were mighty hungry
They left the control room
And leapt from the set
For a Thanksgiving dinner they won't soon forget

They got to the doors at around 30 past
They all hoped the Thanksgiving turkey would last
The first thing they noticed was a lack of plates
Who knew 30 minutes would mean they were late?

In place of dishes, were styrene containers
But still no one there had become a complainer
They took the containers which soon were all gone
The line was now moving, what else could go wrong?

People were eating, good news for the crew
They got to the front to find "gone wrong part 2"
At the front of the line a carcass lay waiting
Faces were made, nerves were now grating.

Some people said, "Hope they didn't run out..."
Then the waitress left, and they started to doubt
That Thanksgiving dinner would be alright
They all felt the chills on that holiday night

With a worrisome look the waitress said
"The Chef's working on it"
The crew filled with dread
She then disappeared though soon she returned
And their biggest fears, she then confirmed

With a tray in her hands filled with processed turkey
That had less taste than the blandest tofurkey
With a look of I'm sorry
And a set of small tongs
She brought pressed meat to right all the wrongs

They moved down the line with saddened faces,
To add something else to their clear plastic cases
Stuffing and yams green beans and lettuce
All of them wondering, "did they forget us?"

They sat down to eat with their white plasticware
At one point they laughed... then they just didn't care
As they sat there to eat the Carl Buddig Surprise
The all had that gleam of laughter in their eyes

Then came dessert, no whipped cream to apply...
But still there was some smashed pumpkin pie
from the serving tongs, they had to use
not a spatula in sight... To add to the news

They dispersed and to work they did stroll
Emotions that they had to control
They laughed at the weird turkey-less dinner
But that just meant each was a little bit thinner

It was a bad dinner, and sure not the first
But Thanksgiving this year, was clearly the worst.

The Storm



The storm is coming
in its sweet warmth
sticky with humidity
moist yet tender
seducing the sky
with the darkness
kissing everything with rain
that drips down my legs
as I stand in a puddle of sex.

"Did you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"


"I always ask that of all my prey..."

Wabash Tap With the Lunch Bunch

So I've decided we need a name as a group...
and "my co-workers" really doesn't fit.
I thought about it long and hard (about
45 seconds) and so far it's gonna be
Lunch Bunch. The ones who go out at night
are typically the ones who order lunch
together...and it rhymes...so here's to
the Lunch Bunch, (til I or someone else
comes up with a better name...)





Some pictures have been withheld to protect the guilty.













And then...

and...















thanks to Steph/Spike/Elgas for the artsy
out of focus shots they took...I like em!




oh yeah and...
