In life, we can either let our experiences make us bitter, or we can channel that feeling towards being a good example in order to improve things.

There's a lot of things on my mind. But I don't feel like saying now.

All aboard

Some songs just stick with you.

Ride The Train By Abie Rotenberg

Come on and ride the train

step on board, take your ticket
no two are the same
you'll soon be going for a ride
there's nowhere to run
no place to hide
you're riding riding riding on the train
-
But you try to check your ticket

and you dont know what it means
will you get to sit on velvet
and dine on fine cuisine?

Or is your place to be up on a
worn out wooden seat
with a slice of old and crusty bread
your only food to eat
_


Come on and ride the train
the doors are closing, the whistles blowing
now you must remain
the locomotive's on a roll
just some things you can't control
you're riding riding riding on the train
-


So you ask an older passenger
how long will this ride be?
he says "sorry son i cant say
there is no guarantee
it might be the next station,
we'll be there in no time
but maybe if youre lucky you can stay
till the end of the line"

music

Then you take a walk up thru the train
each boxcar one by one
most are filled by people saying
this ride's just for fun

why think about tommorrow
when you've got today instead
sit back enjoy the veiw
there's miles and miles of rail ahead


Ride the train.....come on everybody ride the train
ride the train.......come on everybody, ride the train


But one car seems so different
inhabited by few
who say there is no time to waste
we're only passing through
the choices that you make today
are all that's gonna last
this train is moving down the track
and it's moving awful fast



Come on and ride the train
step on board take your ticket
no two are the same
you'll soon be going for a ride
there's nowhere to run
no place to hide
you're riding riding riding on the train.......

two years

Wow, these two years have gone by so fast. And the community has grown so much. I miss some former bloggers, but I'm happy about the recent ones that have shown up. I looked through my old posts and it was very interesting to go back and remember.

What's funny is that when I started reading blogs, I felt that I just want to be a reader. However, later I decided to start my own. Probably happens to many :)

I've met only one fellow blogger, and found out that his family lives a few blocks north of me. I also found out that his wife is friends with my girlfriend. My girlfriends and I went to their vort and I was so excited to see what he looks like. I didn't tell him though who I am.
Later, I found out about a blogger who's family lives on the same block as me. I didn't get to meet her but I met her sister awhile ago.

Also, remember when we all had to switch to beta? It has its ups and downs. I like the customize option though.

Well that's it. Remember to live and smile.

Interesting how the brain works

I was looking at brain teasers and optical illusions and I found a very interesting paragraph from brainden.com The following is not a riddle, just something interesting.


The paragraph said,

Even though the letters are jumbled in the following paragraph, most people have no trouble reading it!
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.



Now that's something!

My turn

Jewmaican20 tagged me and so here goes

1) Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves.
2) The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed.
3) At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.


1. I was born in October 1980

2. I like to write stories but sometimes don't have the motivation to finish it. And sometimes I do.

3. I don't have the many gadgets that others have. They are too expensive. And I don't need them anyway.

4. I love looking at a cute dad holding his child

5. I would love to give myself a tour of places that I haven't been to in this city or only went to like two or three times. Only the areas I like of course.

6. I like scary movies, but find commercials for torture movies to be disgusting and avoid those. Some people go for the scare and since people have become desensitized, writers feel that they need to make it more scary and gruesome. But I go for the interesting story, and slowly torturing someone with an electric screw drive or something is Not entertaining. Fortunately there still some interesting DVDs out there.

7. Ever since taking astronomy, I sometimes like to look up and see how many stars I can see. Usually it's only two or three and it's hard to tell if it's a star or something else. I would love to go to the dessert and see the sky covered with them.

8. I got my ears pierced when I was a kid and wore earrings for awhile and then my left ear got infected and i had to wait for it to heal before putting them back on. However, I got use to not wearing them and forgot to put them back on and the holes closed up. I've been meaning to get them pierced again so I can wear the earrings but I haven't gotten around to it.

okay I pick behind a smile, come running, towik, socialworker and Scraps
