At last my love has come along

My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smiled, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
And you are mine at last

At last- Etta James
many versions
but she is my favorite
classic




So today is Valentines. The day devoted to love... the day set aside for couples. The day men make up for year of neglect. The day women who have no date watch sappy love movies and gain 10 pounds off of Dove chocolate. The day we do and say the corny things in the name of love. It's the commercial holiday that ruins pure love and dumbs it down. But really anything that big cooperate gets hold of is twisted and warped and ruined. They really cash in on this day...Go to the Wal-Mart and see. This is the day of love. It's the day we express how much someone means to us. When really we should celebrate valentines everyday... We should look into the eyes of the people we love daily and express how much they mean to us. We should reassure the loves of our lives daily that they mean the world to us. And the funny thing is it doesn't always have to be our spouses or significant others... It can be family and friends. It can be the people who are close to you.. who you see daily. Don't take love for granted and never put boundaries on it or build walls around it. God designed us in his image and we are hardwired with love. The roots run deep within us.. don't suffocate it. Don't ignore it or run from it. Love is... umm read 1 Corinthians 13 you'll find out. Go back to your first love.


So what the hell is this weather doing. Yesterday it was snowing... My windshield wipers were frozen to my windshield. Thanks Alabama weather for being so wonderful. I have a heater [thanks larry] in my office because my boss/father/satan wont let me change the temperature. Got to see Joey last night. :) ate at Mogans, went to the Wal-Mart and watched Hot Rod... geez. If you haven't seen it go rent it immediately.. Really it would be safe to buy. You will laugh thru the entire thing.

"wwhat in wwhat wway"
"Umm I said you look shitty"
"you like what you see"
"Ive been drinking green tea all gd day"
"Im rod and I like to party"
"I used to be legit in fact I was too legit.. too legit to quit"

One of the greatest.

thoughts today:
Breathe love, grace and peace

Why cant I refrain from eating all the Reese's?

First valentine. Only valentine. One can hope :)
