Catch me if you can...


Positive dreams slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them. Another thing to add to my wish list :-)






Two souls becoming one.






Corrina - Taj Mahal



I got a bird wanna whistle,
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird, will sing,
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird, will sing,
Without Corrina, sure don't mean, 
Sure don't mean a natural thing

I learned to love you
Baby for I call,
Honey for I call your name
Baby for I call,
Honey for I call your name
I wouldn't trade your love for money
Honey you're my warm hearts
Baby you're my warm hearts flame

Have mercy, have mercy, baby you're my hard luck
Mama you're my hard luck soul, baby you're my hard luck
Honey you're my hard luck soul

Got a rainbow round my shoulder
Shine like silver, shines like Klondike gold



I got a bird wanna whistle,
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird, will sing,
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird, will sing,
Without Corrina, sure don't mean, 
Sure don't mean a natural thing

Corrina, Oh Corrina, Corrina

The hills are alive...





Every morning on the radio (Triple J Aus) they have a caller call in and list 10 things in under 10 seconds about a specific category or topic. I love this part of my drive to work because I participate (out load of course) and rarely does the caller list 10 things before the 10 seconds are up.  It's way harder than you think.  One caller did when the topic was anything relating to wine. I, of course, also nailed that one. Today's topic was the Sound of Music. I LOVE that movie. It's definitely in my top 5 and is a classic that every child (and adult for that matter) should see.  I also am a HUGE fan of Julie Andrews; Mary Poppins is another classic childhood favorite of mine.  Anyway, so today I'm driving along yelling things out like Maria, Sister Mary Clarence, Captain Von Trap, etc. and I nail it.  Winners get $500. If only I would have called in...


With The Sound of Music on my mind, I decided to look up some pics to add to the blog... the one below is a classic.  I want to do just that in that very same spot one day.   I also found this video I saw way back when of a train station in Belgium.  It too cute not to share. xxx

Spanish town.


Spanish Town - The Beautiful Girls

Got no money left, threw it all away.
Went down to Mexico, tried to escape the rains.
But every time I see you, I still feel the same.
Been down so long, some things just never change.

But one day, I know, I will be back again.
I'll be back in Spanish town my friend.

Remember red church street, and drinking wine all day?
 
And how we used to meet down prison oval way?
The days grow longer, longer we're away
From that place that lonely music plays.

But one day, I know, I will be back again.
I'll be back in Spanish town my friend.

Beautiful women.

Let's go surfing...

Two weeks until Bali... I can't wait!!!!


Let's Go Surfing - The Drums

Wake up
It's a beautiful morning
Honey, while the sun is still shining
Wake up
Would you like to go with me?
Honey, take a run down to the beach

Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing

Wake up
There's a new kid in the town
Honey, he's moving into the big house
Remember
When I was so very hopeless
Darling, he's gonna make it all better

Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing

Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby
I'll never let you go (X 4)

Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing

Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing

Does it get much better than this?

Skinny Love.


Skinny Love - Bon Iver

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets 
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?

Life is what you make of it.



"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

Smile. Be happy.

Sweet Thing.


Sweet Thing - Van Morrison


And I will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And they'll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I don't know why'
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again.

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I will raise my hand up
Into the night time sky
And count the stars
That's shining in your eye
Just to dig it all an' not to wonder
That's just fine
And I'll be satisfied
Not to read in between the lines
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
And I will never, ever, ever, ever
Grow so old again.
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Sugar-baby with your champagne eye

Heartbeats.


Heartbeats - The Knife

one night to be confused
one night to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away

both under influense
we had demons in 
to know what to say
mind is a razorblade

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

one night of magic rush
the start of simple touch
one night to push and scream
and make believes.

ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
we had a promise made
we were in love

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

and you, you knew you had to fight devil
and you, kept us away with wolf teeths
sharing different heartbeats
in one night

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no

Sunshine how I long for you...




















She's Only Happy in the Sun - Ben Harper


I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds
Would you hear me if I told you
That my heart is with you now

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Did you find what you were after?
The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
But if the sun sets you free, sets you free
You'll be free indeed, Indeed

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Every time I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like the story of life, of your life
Is hello, goodbye

Shes only happy in the sun
Shes only happy in the sun
