Beautiful

 Strip off the pretense of the world

Show who you truly are

You are beautiful that way

Live laugh love

 Live. Laugh. Love.


Live to the fullest each and every day

Hold nothing back 

Go for the gusto

Live loud

Live proud


Laugh fully and hardy

Laugh loud and strong

Laugh for the joy of living 


Love with filters or restrictions 

Love with your whole heart

The girl across the hall

 There she stands at her locker

An Angel within this wasteland of a school

I want to ask her out

Her lockers just across from  mine

A few feet

Yet miles apart 


Alright now keep your cool

Stay calm

Damn, I'm starting to sweat

Stay calm

Keep your cool


Alright got my nerves up

Got my courage up

Now or never

Full speed ahead

Half glass

 Them:  Is the glass half empty or half full?


Me:  picks up the glass, downs the whole things, sets the glass down, and says "There problem solved."

Sign language

 While working in Springfield,  one of my coworkers told me this little story.


I met my wife in middle-school, at the time she was very quiet and sat in the back of the room.  Not knowing how else to approach her, I learned sign language.   I learned enough to start with.  So one day after class I went up to her in the hall and signed hello, how are you?  She looked me straight in the eyes and spoke with the most beautiful voice I had heard.  She said she was fine and told me her name.  Then went on to say that she could understand sign language as well as teach it, and that yes, since she is quiet all the time, people do tend to think I can't speak, that is not true as you can tell.

        Talk about being embarrassed.   However She did thank me for taking the time to learn sign language.   I told her that I just started learning it, and she offered to teach me more.        After awhile we I got so good at it, her and I would sign to each other from across the hall or classroom,  setting up dates or exchanging information. 

     Well Tony you know how that story ended.  So I won't bore you with the details.  I told him it was a lovely story.

Come back

 With each brick in the wall

We become comfortably numb

Hiding away in our own little world 

Away for life's turd


Break down the walls

Come back

Yes life hurts sometimes 

But moving forward in life

Is better than locking yourself away


Break down the walls

Come back

Live, laugh, love

For that is what life is about
