optimism

you're an optimist. that's what I want to be when I grow up.

While playing Dungeons and Dragons:

Raj: I don’t know if I want to play anymore.

Sheldon: Because you don’t have a girlfriend? Well, good lord, if that becomes a reason not to play Dungeons & Dragons, this game’s in serious trouble.

another little piece

Here (00:35:20)

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man -yeah!
Didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

Una macelleria a me e' sembrata

Livia, io non mi sento tradito. Io sono stato tradito. Non si tratta di sensazioni. Ho sempre fatto il mio mestiere con onestà. Da galantomo. Se davo la mia parola a un delinquente, la rispettavo. E perciò sono rispettato. È stata la mia forza, lo capisci? Ma ora mi siddriai, m'abbuttai.

may your song always be sung

A te, magnolia

Che tu sia benedetta e sempre protetta,
Che tutti i tuoi desideri si avverino
Che tu possa sempre fare qualcosa per gli altri
E lasciare che gli altri facciano per te
Possa tu costruire una scala verso le stelle
E salirne ogni gradino
Che tu possa rimanere per sempre giovane
Che tu possa rimanere per sempre giovane.

Che tu possa crescere fino ad essere giusta
Che tu possa crescere fino ad essere vera
Che tu possa sempre conoscere la verità
E vedere le luci che ti circondano
Che tu possa sempre essere coraggiosa
Stare in piedi ed essere forte
Che tu possa rimanere per sempre giovane
Che tu possa rimanere per sempre giovane.

Che tue mani siano sempre occupate
Che i tuoi piedi siano sempre veloci
Che tu possa avere una radice solida
Quando soffiano venti di cambiamento
Che il tuo cuore possa essere sempre gioioso
E possa la tua canzone essere sempre cantata
Che tu possa rimanere per sempre giovane
Che tu possa rimanere per sempre giovane.




May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.

parafrasando

today is one of those days. great things are happening. lots of stuff with which I should keep myself busy. and no one special to share this with.

should I listen to business magnolia or new age magnolia...

"No, it's not so bad. I'm lucky, I know. I just. . .I feel like I'm never gonna have it. . .the whole package, you know? That person, that couple life, and I swear, I hate admitting it because I fancy myself Wonder Woman, but. . .I really want it – the whole package," Lorelai said, looking into her coffee cup

around the House

As the philosopher Jagger once said, "You can't always get what you want."

Faith - that's another word for ignorance, isn't it?

Everybody lies.

It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what.

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
It's not your fault

They won't take you to the vet
You're obviously not their favorite pet
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault

You may not be a bed of roses
You're not friend to those with noses
I'll miss you before we're done
Or the world will smell as one

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
It's not your fault

One, two, what's that smell?

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
You're getting fat

I think that I'm gonna be sick
It's your ears, and nose and pick
Part of it, tempt me

One, two, what's that smell?

All the dogs in the neighborhood
Are saying this for your own good
What, you're fat, so you can't run
No fun, I bet, No fun

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
Porno makes you eat like that
I saw you in the shopping mall

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault,
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault

We know what was in your food
They say it might affect your mood

You smell like something dead

familiar sounds (sounds familar)

Dear Karen,

if you're reading this it means I actually worked up the courage to mail it. So good for me.

You don't know me very well but if you get me started I have a tendancy to go on and on about how hard the writing is for me. But this... This is the hardest thing I ever had to write. There's no easy way to say this so I'll just say it. I met someone. It was an accident. I wasn't looking for it. I wasn't on the make. It was a perfect storm. She said one thing, I said another. Next thing I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation.

Now there's this feeling in my gut. She might be the one. She's completely nuts in a way that makes me smile. Highly neurotic. A great deal of maintenance required. She is you Karen. That's the good news. The bad is that I don't know how to be with you right now. And that scares the shit out of me. Because if I'm not with you right now I have this feeling we'll get lost out there. It's a big bad world full of twists and turns and people have a way of blinking, and missing the moment... The moment that could've changed everything.

I don't know what's going on with us and I can't tell you why you should waste a leap of faith on the likes of me. But damn, you smell good, like home. And you make excellent coffee, that's gotta count for something, right?

Call me.

Unfaithfully yours,

Hank Moody.

cold

Hi, Amy, it's mom.

[...]

I thought I would give you a little list of the things that I wish for you.

Well, there's the obvious. An education. Family. Friends. And a life that is full of the unexpected.

Be sure to make mistakes. Make a lot of them, because there's no better way to learn and to grow

And I want you to spend a lot of time at the ocean, because the ocean forces you to dream, and I insist that you, my girl, be a dreamer.

God. I've never really believed in god. In fact, I've spent a lot of time and energy trying to disprove that god exists. But I hope that you are able to believe in god, because the thing that I've come to realize, sweetheart... is that it just doesn't matter if god exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe in something, because I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at night, and I want you to feel safe always.

And then there's love. I want you to love to the tips of your fingers, and when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it. But you don't have to chase after it either. You just be patient, and it'll come to you, I promise

[..]

And remember, to love is to live.

People are about as much happy as they make up their minds to be

sent away

Once upon a time
A long time ago
I thought that I should leave you
I thought that you should go
I never really said goodbye
I never even heard you cry
And after all this time, it's hard to say
The only love I had, I sent away

Ah, but you were young
Younger than I knew
I hope you can forgive me
I was younger too
I really thought that I could see
What was best for you and me
Though after all this time, it's hard to say
'Cause the only love I had, I sent away

Sometimes as I lay here in the dark
I wonder where you're sleeping
If you think of me at all
Are you warm?
Are you happy where you are?
Do you sometimes feel like weeping when the summers turn to fall?
Do you think of me at all?

And so I send this out
Wherever you may be
To tell you I still love you
You're still a part of me
And if you could ever find a way
I'll be hoping for the day
When you can smile at me and tell me it's okay
That the only love I had, I sent away

anger

You may think that your only choices are to swallow your anger or throw it in someone’s face. But there is a third option, you can just let it go. And only when you do that is it really gone, and you can move forward.

Together we will own this city.
Any time a girl wants to get back at her ex-boyfriend, we will be there.
Any time a girl wants to solve her father's issues through promiscuity and binge drinking, we will be there.
Any time a bachelorette party drives through the city in a limo, sticking their heads out the sunroof shouting "What's up, New York?", we will be what is 'up', New York.

the One

After he left I cried for a week.

And then I realized I do have faith. Faith in myself. Faith that I one day will meet someone who will be sure that I was the one.

if you need me

I will follow

Ciao Giu, Che fai...
Ci Ripensi un po' a noi
Non ci avrei scommesso mai..
scriverti cosi...io morirei..
Quanto tempo... Quanti ricordi..
Chiudo gli occhi e mi sembra di stringerti le mani..
parlo di te... da sola..
sogno di te.. nel buio
ma sogno non è,, mi manchi!
AMICA DEL CUORE!
Na na na na na na...

Sai Giu vorrei..
sapere cosa sei per lui..
ne parlavamo spesso noi
di quanto gli piacevo anch'io...
Le stagioni..sono passate..
Lontananze prima fredde poi bruciate...
come vorrei..stasera..
anima mia..sincera...
stare con te... DAVVERO!

AMICA MIA CAPISCO CHE VORREI...
AVERTI COME SEI..
QUANTA VERITà PUOI DIRE IN UNA LETTERA
SARà PERCHè NON SEI QUI CON ME!

Na na na na na na na na

Ciao Giulia Succeda quello che vuoi tu
IL MONDO TI SORRIDERA' ED IO SORRIDERO' CON TE!

in the arms of an angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel “not good enough"?
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of an Angel, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
