Just Another Day in Paradise - Phil Vassar

The kids screamin', phone ringing, dog barking at the mailman bringing that stack of bills overdue
Good morning baby how are you
Got a half hour, quick shower
take a drink of mile but the milk's gone sour my funny face makes you laugh
I twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby don't kick it, I promise I'll fix it
long with about million other things

Chorus:
Well it's okay, it's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
well, there's no place that I'd rather be
Well it's two hearts and one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything and I ask the Lord every night
oooo, for just another day in paradise.

Friday, your late, guess we'll never make our dinner-date at the restaurant, you start to cry
Baby we'll just improvise
well, Plan B
Looks like, Dominoes pizza in the candlelight
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But, somebody had a bad dream
Mommy and Daddy
Can me and my teddy
Come in to sleep in between

Chorus(x2)

For just another day in paradise
Well, it's the kids screamin', phone ringing
Just another day
Well, it's Friday your late
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise

The sun, the moon, the stars, the water

The stars they twinkle in the sky
They light the blackness that's behind
They glow, a beacon to the weak
The moon's close by, it's at it's peak

The sun is bright, the sky is blue
It's vibrant yellow shines down on you
It warms the Earth, it warms your skin
It's equal to the warmth within

The water's rough yet very calm
It saves our lives, it gives us harm
It's colored by the sun each day
And reflects the moon out by the bay

The sun, the moon, the stars, the water
Sometimes it's cool, sometimes it's hotter
These are what make up the Earth
The things I love, the things of worth

Angel Tears

Icy tears fall to the ground
I wonder why the angels are crying
The sun was out yesterday
Why is today so different

The sky is gray
Painted like death
Could they be crying
For someone they love

But angels love everyone
And if they always cried
For someone they loved
The sky would never be blue

Today, just another day

Hola! I'm pretty happy right now!! I've got a YW basketball game to look forwards to tonight and i just ate a pickle and some salt and vinegar chips ( <--- some of my favorite food :) Me and my friends have been talking about ditching a lot lately. Not like, "Hey, lets ditch", more along the lines of, "I never ditch seminary, it's fun!" And today during SIR we were wondering if what we were doing counted as ditching. We go into the band room and sign in but us, plus lots of other people, go outside the doors, we sit by the heater, some people play their instruments, we sometimes go to the vending machines and stuff, etc etc... But today we actually went outside because we wanted to watch some guys make snow angels so that just made us wonder... we go so far away from our class, i wonder if that counts as ditching??? Well, either way, it's not going to stop us from doing it. We're just having fun, getting food and drinks and hanging out. It's our free time in the middle of school!!
Lunch was fun, as usual, Aub and I went to go watch the guys, and one girl, do parkour. I think that's how you spell it. We just sit there in the doorway and watch them while laying on a mat. Laura's the only girl (actually there is one more girl signed up but she never comes) and she really wants me to join to! I think it sounds like a ton of fun!! but I'm pretty sure i'm going to totally fail!! lol. I'm really not someone who's good at that kinda stuff but i'll try!! Me and laura can work together!! he he. she says it's really hard and embarrassing being the only girl so i'm going to join to help her and because i want to. I'm sure until we actually start getting good it's going to be really embarrassing!! there's a ton of guys, what do you expect?
We had a sub in orchestra. She was pretty cool i guess. She had some people play songs alone or do scales and we would tell them what they did good on then give them constructive criticism. Then we played Pavane, which is really slow so we told Joe to go get the keys to Ms. P's office so we could get out Pirates of the Caribbean. Maybe it's just an orchestra thing but that's, like, our favorite piece to play!! it's sooooo much fun!! Well, Joe came back and the office wouldn't give him the keys so him and Brittany went to get a janitor. He opened the door for us and we got the music and played Pirates for the last 10 minutes of class!! It was so fun! I just love that music :D I was really weird to play it though because more than half our class is gone on the Orchestra trip (you have to pay $555 to go to pay for all the expenses so not everyone can go)
Now i'm home, i just ate some nummy foods, i'm almost done with my homework, i get to practice my guitar and i get to go to basketball!! woohoo!! what a great day! :D

Diary!! Woo hoo

Hello peoples :) Today was a good day. I guess lots of days are good though huh? Well, it was better than my weekend. For some reason I was in a really bad mood all weekend and didn't want to do anything. I'm all better now!! lol. Well, today I was SUPER cold!! It was really weird. I'm usually cold but then I warm up but today it took forever. I wear this really fluffy sweater and I usually end up taking it off in all my classes because I get hot but I really need it because I get cold. But in biology I was freezing, and seminary I was too (though that's normal) and advisory was absolutely freezing cold. Creative writing was to only warm class! I usually have to take off my sweater in there too and even then I'm hot but today it was just perfect!! I guess my house is pretty warm to, w/e, it's fine :) I'm kinda sleepy, but it is Monday so what can you expect. I guess I should probably do my homework now. K, bye bye :)

Who is that man?

Birds ruffle their wings and sing in the trees. A light shines down though the leaves onto my skin, warming my frail, porcelain arms, though all I feel is a deep chill in my center. The sun seems to fade away as I slip farther into despair. Who is that man? Was he worth all those years? Or were they all wasted. Thrown away on a pitiful hope for happiness. In a moment everything can change. It's time to realize that life is not a fairy tale. Chances are, you are going to fail over and over and you'll end up wallowing in your own self-pity. What is life worth? Why are we here? All we do is come down, expecting happiness, and get ripped apart by reality. People are cruel. Life isn't fair. Love isn't real. Death is release.

Diary of Today

Today was pretty fun :) Even though I had to wake up at five in the morning for early morning orchestra! And I somehow managed to set my clock so that it said it was 4 when it was 5 so I woke up at 4 and went down to eat breakfast to find that all the clocks down there said it was 4. So I went back to my room, reset my clock, reset my alarm, and went to sleep for an hour. So I was tired today but I had fun with my friends. I was way excited for guitar but it got canceled :( My guitar teacher took her granddaughter to the hospital and she has strep and is staying with her so I didn't get to go :( So instead I got to hang out with my friend Aubree and we had tons of fun so that was good enough for me :)

Diary :)

My first diary for Creative Writing. I'm not sure what to say. I've got a journal here at home that I write in all the time but this will be different. In my journal I just say what I did that day, how I felt, what made me happy and said. I put stuff in there that I think about people, things I'd never say, and things I wish I would. Well, I'm not going to do that here so...what do I do? Well, today I was extremely hungry all day it seems. Yet when I eat I get full all too fast. Lunch seems to go by too quickly nowadays. Are they making it shorter? Even long lunch seems short. Well, California was really nice. It was warm the whole time we were there and I made sure to spend a lot of time outside. Except on Sunday, I was sick and was sitting on the couch most of the day, watching a movie with my fever and annoying headache. It was still really chilly at night but that's okay, the day made up for it. A bright sun, warmth soaking into my skin :) it was so nice. Then back here it's freezing cold! And snow :( Oh well, I've got friends here, something I don't have in CA, except my family and, yes, they are wonderful. But since I don't go to school in CA I don't really have any friends there. But that's all right. Tons of my family lives there. I usually just spend time with the people liveing in my house. My dad, Heather (My step-mom), my half-sisters Natalie (7) and Amanda (5) and my little half-brother, Steven (2). Then sometimes we have parties and I have Aunts and Uncles who come over and my grandma and our little cousins plus we have two cousins who are our age who serve as the closest things we really have to peers :) LOL. All together, it's really great there but it's awesome here too :) I've got lots of family and tons of friends, I could never stay away for long.

Stars

A star in the sky
Like a jewel in the darkness that I'm lucky enough to find
Some people thinks it's small
Useless
But to me it's the only thing that keeps the darkness from swallowing up the world

The Perfect Place

The soft sound of the waves, the golden sun on the sand
It makes no noise as the silk slips through my hand
The sun is setting, the sky is pink
Could this be better? I try to think
Is something missing in this wonderful place?
I picture brown eyes and a smiling face
If he were here this would be perfect
I sigh and wonder if he's worth it
The sun is gone, the moon is out
And I still can't help but think about
He's in my head, and stuck for good
I'd take him with me if I could
I look around, I'm all alone
How could this place feel safe and warm?
I used to like it but now I see
I don't because he's not with me

Fall

She sits on the cold grass. Alone. Peacful. The wind blows, rustling the leaves above her head, making one fall to the ground, fluttering through the air before it silently settles on the grass beside her knee. She stares at it. Yellow mixed with red with a hint of green left. It was fall. Was everything falling this time of year? Can't spring, the time of blooming and life, last forever? Why do things have to end. So suddenly. Gone, forever. A tear glided silently down her cheek. She had promised herself she wouldn't cry. No. She had promised him that she would be strong. For her mom, for her little sister. It was hard to be strong for others when you felt like the weakest of them all. The most affected. How could life go on like nothing had happened? She looked away from the fallen leaf to the pollished stone in the grass before her. How could she be strong when he had been the one holding her up? Another tear. She quickly wiped it away and stood up. For my brother. He gave so much to me, it's time for me to give back. She walked away, head held high, never to shed a tear for him again.

I love, but I don't

It’s May 19 2008

I’m at my house surrounded by friends

I love friends and family too

Why can’t everyone be a friend?

I love food

My favorite is a pickle

But I don’t like cucumbers; people think that’s weird

I don’t like lasagna either

I love the sun, the moon and the stars

I could stare up at them for hours and get lost in wonder

I love how the light glitters on the snow

But I don’t like the snow

I don’t like the cold

I would like snow if it wasn’t so cold

I love the warmth and the sun

I love the light

I love color and variety, especially in eyes

There can be so many different colored eyes

Deep brown, brilliant green, petrifying blue and a mix of them all

Some are even golden

As precious as the person who sees through them

I love country music and pop as well

I like rock and others are okay

I really don’t like rap, unless it has a good chorus

Then I can live with it

I love amusement parks

The feeling in your stomach as you plunge down and go around turns

Your hair flying behind you

It’s a great sensation, but I don’t like getting queasy afterward

I love cats, dogs, and wolves

I don’t like hairless cats

But I don’t like getting cat hair all over me when I pet one’s with hair

I like giving animals baths too

Unless they run away

I don’t like cold water

Unless it’s a hot summer day and it feels so good

And I don’t like it when the wind is blowing as you get out and it’s freezing cold

I don’t like when pools are dirty either

I love to run

I love soccer and baseball

But I don’t get to play them as much as I would like

I like to get dirty; I just don’t like cleaning up afterwards

I like my hair short

But it’s a pain when I exercise because it won’t stay up in a ponytail

It’s too short and always falls out in the back

So I have to find a comfortable middle that’s cute and can be put up

I love goofing off with my friends

Hanging out and having fun

Going crazy and running around

Doing things that don’t make any sense

Like at my birthday party, today

My friends surrounding me as we party our heart out

Celebrating about getting older, having fun

And just being

HI :)

I don't have much to put on this blog do I? I believe that I'm better at writing stories than poems so I can't just have something pop into my head and post it. People who are good a writing poems, YOU ROCK!! You can write a masterpiece in a few minutes. it's way cool :) hmmm... what to say. Well, I'm am officially learning how to play the guitar :D I'm so happy, I've always wanted to. I started lessons a few weeks ago. You may never hear me play because I stink, lol. But I'm sure I'll get better someday :) I have Guitar every Friday so I get to go tomorrow. Then, at 7 pm, I'm driving to the airport and getting on a plane to San Diego, California!! I love California. I was born there and my dad lives there so I get to go visit him every month so I get to go tomorrow since it's a long weekend. I really hope it's warm there, I'm tired of the cold. My list to do in CA:
1) soak up the sun
2) don't worry about school or homework
3) relax
4) set up our trampoline
5) remember to write in my journal

Then, just because I can, I will put on some shorts and a t-shirt and go outside and I will be the happiest girl in the world because I won't be cold :)

Days of Me

People say I’m pretty,
Sometimes I realize that I am
I am my own person, that’s what makes me beautiful
I am me
Me is powerful
The laugher, the smiler
Active one, loves to run
Runs around for no reason at all,
Makes people laugh without trying
Talks a lot, yet very shy
Loves to be around friends, goes crazy
Writer, people love to read
Warmth and food, happy
Homey places, smiling faces
That’s me at the window, staring at the moon
Dreamer, wanter, seeker
Believer, don’t tell me lies
Too many people lie, I start to not believe
Don’t fight, please stop
Be friends, have fun
Sun, stars, moon, sky
Freedom and peace
Cuddling with my cat on the couch,
Warm and happy
Bouncing on the trampoline with my friends
Excited and having fun
I don’t like to be confused, though am a lot
Wonder is a precious thing
I wonder a lot yet don’t get answers
Hanging out, lazy days
Family and friends all around me
Special dreams, happy ones
Makes me happy
Life, hard to appreciate
Amazing to live
Difficult to love, but worth all the pain
I am living, I am me

ME!
