One Question

Just one question?   

How can I let you go?

That is the question, I suppose?

Excuse me

Will anyone in this room please let me know?

Years have passed since we first met.

I must ask.

Did we have fun?

Yeah, I bet.

You showed me how to dream, how to believe.

Those were the lessons I learned and now I preach.

Rather then dwell on the past,

I’m learning to look to the future.

That’s a fact.

But still, I can’t help but think of what could have been?

That is why I look up at the world with a sad grin.

Just one of the many difficulties to get over

Every now and then, I find myself looking over my shoulder

Wishing you was still in my corner.

Your support will be missed,

Especially how passionate we used to kiss!

Missing your hands on my back

Then realizing, the love that we had,

Slipped right through the crack!

Come to think of it,

Ending it might have been for the best.

While writing this for me

Is a way to heal, that I much I will confess.

But when writing won’t even help this tortured soul,

I’ll just turn my back on the world,

Excuse me while I pack another bowl.

Even in a cloudy haze

Memories of you seem to peek through.

Just wish that I could easily

Get over you.

So, now back to my question,

How do you let someone go?

Will someone in this room…………

Please…….let me know.

Paper Cup

Paper cup

 “Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cupDrink it up love her, and she’ll bring you luck”

 

 “Danny’s song” 

Staring at a blank screen

Hoping words will pop up

Just keep thinking of that girl

The one who holds the paper cup

Asking myself

What is it that is keeping me up?

Up this damn late

Maybe I’m thinking of that wonderful date?

Plenty of spilled beers

A three year long date Filled with laughter and tears

For now Hearing your voice will have to suffice

Hoping you return to me

To be precise

Searching for the right words

To sum it all up

When all I really want

Is to be that paper cup

The Witch of Portobello

“The witch of Portobello”

Where to begin.

This book was amazing, beautifully written, and a pleasure to read. 

“Paulo Coelho” wrote one hell of a book.  This book is a necessary read for anyone looking for beauty in words.  This author brought us “The Alchemist” another great book.  I literally fell in love with the main character in this book, and so will you. 

This book inspired me to write more, to love more, to live more.  Yes, it is a fictional book, but the story in it, we can all relate to it.  I recommend to each and every on of you to go out and purchase this book.  You will not regret it.

Moreover, if you are not in the mood to purchase it, or just want a little sample of it, copy and past this link into your web browser.

You can read the book in it entirety from the site.  Now I hate to read from computer screens, but this book wrapped me up.  I read the whole book from my desk at home and at work, and now I am going out to purchase it, not only for myself but also for a friend.  It was that good.

Live, Love, Learn, and Share

I am a lost and confused soul in this world.  But aren’t we all?

I want to cry

I want to laugh

I want to dance

I want to feel all that there is to feel

Experience all that there is to experience

I want to learn

I want to teach

I really want to share.

I am reading a few books at the moment, one is fiction and one is a not.  Nevertheless, what they both have in common is that they’re showing me I want to live.  I want to share my world with everyone that I come in contact with.  I am not afraid to share who I am and I am not as selfish as some think. 

Live, love, learn and share.

Thank you.

Till next time….

Dr Scholl’s

Hey oh! 

Today is Monday.  I know for most of you that means nothing, most of you people hate Monday’s.  I for one am a fan of Monday. 

For one, Monday is the beginning of the week; I like beginnings, also in the winter it means Monday night football, now who does not love Monday night football?

Well on to why I am writing, this weekend was a painful one for me, your probably saying to yourself “James, when aren’t you in pain?” and my response to that will be, “when your mom is on top of me I’m not in pain”.  But that aside, seriously, on Friday by the end of the workday I could barely walk, it was feeling as if my arch was going to collapse.  Every step hurt like hell.

So after an uneventful weekend at home with my foot up I decided to buy me some “Dr Scholl’s foot gel” those little gel things that slide into your boot and make your feet feel comfortable.  I must say those things rock!  They make a cheap pair of boots feel great.  Today I came into work with a slight limp but the gel makes it bearable.

Well to end, yes I am in pain, even with the gel, but the gel makes it so much better, so if you have foot pain, or a pair of uncomfortable shoes, I highly recommend “Dr Scholl’s” well worth it.

Also on a side note, I would like to thank “Big Al, and “Jaysin” for pointing me towards “Dr Scholl’s”.  thanx

Till next time.
