FABULOUS STUFF!

I haven't heard this song in so long! It takes me back... to 1994.


Freedy Johnston "Bad Reputation"

www.youtube.com/watch

I know I got a bad reputation
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk
If I could only give you everything
You know I haven't got
I couldn't have one conversation
If it wasn't for the lies, lies, lies
And still I ought to tell you everything
'till I close my eyes
Suddenly I'm on the street
Seven years disappear below my feet
Been breaking down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Suddenly I'm down in Harold's Square
Looking in the crowd, your face is everywhere
Been turning around
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Don't try to be an inspiriation
Just wasting your time, time, time
You know about the best I'll ever be
See it in your eyes
I know I got a bad reputation
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk
If I could only give you everything
You know I haven't got
Suddenly I'm on the street
Seven years disappear below my feet
Been breaking down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Suddenly I'm in another place
Looking in the crowd I think I see your face
Been turning around
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
(Down, Down, down)
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
(Down, Down, down)
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
(Down, Down, down)
Don't you think I've heard the talk?
Nobody's going to tell me who to love
Been breaking down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Suddenly I'm down in Harold's Square
Looking in the crowd, your face is everywhere
Just turning around
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Been breaking down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
I'm just breaking down, down, down, down
Been breaking down, down, down
Been breaking down, down, down

Back again...

I Love England... it's so beautiful, cultured & civilized.

London is a world class city... there is so much to do and see there. It would take weeks to photograph and see it all. I can't wait till I get to visit again...and oh yes, I'll be going back again & again & again!

The first stop was Manchester, it's a smaller city, great for walking, has excellent chinese restaurants and a huge shopping area.

I was in Blackpool for Halloween, it was a fun place to be, and I loved our hotel 'The Imperial', it had a great pub!

Trafalgar Square is an amazing place and I highly recommend visiting the National Gallery. I could have spent all day there!

Covent Gardens is very pretty and has the best street performers & musicians in london.

Big Ben is the major Iconic photo-op must have in any travelers album! ;-)

Hyde Park is Big! Home to some of the friendliest squirrels I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

Portobello Road is fun for blowing your spending money and eating crepes.

And ya Gotta love those red phone boxes!

The Bravery

"The Ocean"

I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge
And all of the lies that I never have led
Is one where I stayed with you, across the sea
I wonder do you still think of me
I carry your image always in my head
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
And I've look upon it for so many years
Slowly I'm loosing your face

Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

Sixs and sevens we live on jet planes
And so many faces I don't know the names
So many friends now and none of them mine
Forgotten as soon as we meet
All of these moments are lost in time
Your caught on my head like a thorn on a vine
To forever torment me that I wonder why
Do I wish I've never known you at all

Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

The sun and the moon
An ocean of air
So many voices
But nothing is there
The ghost of you asking me why
Why did I leave

Oh the ocean rows us away away away

And I loose your hand through the waves

So, I decided to get a job...
And so far it's going really well and I really like it alot.
I'm making money and gaining a new kind of self-worth, but the only problem is...
I'm missing classes and my Dance friends!
There's just not enough time to do all the things I want to do, and I'm feeling a certain level of conflict and inevitability.
I'm hoping that if I am patient it will all work itself out, and that I will be able to find a way to do both Bellydance & Work.
They say you make time for the things you love...and I love bellydance!

Saffron is really amazing! She is really like a white sexy kitten with big blue eyes... Really beautiful, fun to watch, great hair, playful, and deceptively brilliant! She really oozes when she dances, and she's got some claws! I am glad that she drags us by the scruff of our necks to play!
