Life right now
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down on your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.....
R.I.P Michael Jackson. Things will never be the same.

-Paul Newman dies at 83-
Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles. But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee. Devoted husband.Loving father. Adoring grandfather. Dedicated philanthropist." He saw himself as a working actor, not a movie star, and insisted that everyone else did the same. There was no ego, no entourage, no hangers on. Only Paul, his script and his incredible spirit. Paul Newman's craft was acting. His passion was racing. His love was his family and friends. And his heart and soul were dedicated to helping make the world a better place for all. Paul had an abiding belief in the role that luck plays in one's life, and its randomness. He was quick to acknowledge the good fortune he had in his own life, beginning with being born in America, and was acutely aware of how unlucky so many others were. True to his character, he quietly devoted himself to helping offset this imbalance. An exceptional example is the legacy of Newman's Own. What started as something of a joke in the basement of his home, turned into a highly-respected, multi-million dollar a year food company. And true to form, he shared this good fortune by donating all the profits and royalties he earned to thousands of charities around the world, a total which now exceeds $250 million. While his philanthropic interests and donations were wide-ranging, he was especially committed to the thousands of children with life-threatening conditions served by the Hole in the Wall Camps, which he helped start over 20 years ago. He saw the Camps as places where kids could escape the fear, pain and isolation of their conditions, kick back, and raise a little hell. Today, there are 11 Camps around the world, with additional programs in Africa and Vietnam. Through the Camps, well over 135,000 children have had the chance to experience what childhood was meant to be.
In Paul's words: "I wanted to acknowledge luck; the chance and benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others, who might not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it." Paul took advantage of what life offered him, and while personally reluctant to acknowledge that he was doing anything special, he forever changed the lives of many with his generosity, humor, and humanness. His legacy lives on in the charities he supported and the Hole in the Wall Camps, for which he cared so much. We will miss our friend Paul Newman, but are lucky ourselves to have known such a remarkable person."
In June 2008 it was widely reported that Newman, a former chain smoker, had been diagnosed with lung cancer and was receiving treatment at Sloan-Kettering hospital in New York City.[35] Photographs taken of Newman in May and June showed him looking gaunt.[36] Writer A.E. Hotchner, who partnered Newman to start Newman's Own salad dressing company in the 1980s, was quoted as saying that Newman told him about the disease about 18 months ago.[37] Newman's spokesman told the press that the star is "doing nicely," but neither confirmed nor denied that he had cancer.[38] In August, Newman reportedly had finished chemotherapy and told his family he wished to die at home. He did so on September 26, 2008 aged 83, surrounded by his family and close friends.[39] His daughter Nell Newman is poised to take over Newman's Own.

If you didn't know here in Ohio it was a pretty bad wind storm last Sunday and my electric was out until Wednesday. So I've been extremely bored in the dark, candles lit, telling ghost stories and jokes which actually turned out to be very fun, lol. Wow! so it's like I'm starting all over it feels so long ago since I last logged in, lol. Some updates... I'm sure every one's heard about that horrible plane crash with Travis Barker And DJ AM. RIP to those lost in the crash and I am praying both Travis and DJ AM make a full recovery. I am currently listening to Pussy Cat Dolls new album. Which I must say is nice. I'm counting down the days until it's finally time to vote! I'm also ready for Halloween! Can't wait to dress up, not sure what I'm gonna be this year,lol. Lemme know if you have any ideas. Hmmm so I'm sitting here eating my life cereal, dancing to the music in my head,lol. I just missed a phone call about a job! Crap! lol. I left a message and now I'm sitting here waiting for them to call me back. Come on Kathy!! I'm completely anxious,lol. But other than that, I've been well, need to loose some weight sheesh! lol. Oh man I'm trying to challenge myself into losing like 10 pounds before November. Let's hope I do. Ummm yea i guess that's it for now.

We Will Never Forget.
Today sets the 7th year since that tragic morning of September 11th 2001. Today I pay my respect to the wonderful lives lost that fateful day. May we never forget, and keep the memories of those lost living beyond their days. Let us come together, all of us if even for one day. Let love overcome. Hate does nothing but destroy. May the families, friends and everyone affected by this tragedy have strength, love and guidance. You are not alone on this day of mourning yet celebration for the moments we shared with those lost. I keep you in my heart, my prayers and my thoughts. God Bless.

-->>Call It A Comback!
OMG. I feel like a proud mama. When I watched the VMA's yesterday and saw how great Brittney Spears looked! Wow! I was one of her few supporters. And man I have to say she made everyone eat their words who said she couldn't make a comeback. Because that's exactly what she did this year. I was kinda down that she didnt preform but oh well she's taking steps. I' m the type of person who for the most part won't judge someone based on mistakes they've made. Who am I to look down on someone like I've never made mistakes myself. Sadly allot of people love seeing people fail, struggle, or suffer, it gives them something to talk about, something to compare themselves to; especially the jealous hearted. I am so glad to see she won 3 awards because for all the work she's done since she's been in the entertainment business it was long over do, mistakes or not. It's never too late to change your life. Trust in yourself. Trust in god and you will make it through any turmoil., not right away but patience is virtue. Believe it. I just wanted to blog my happiness to see she's doing great. Yeah I love seeing success in others:) Cheers to Brit Brit!
