I'm Burnin' For You
Blue Oyster Cult

Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me

Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home I'll never be

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for givin' the devil his due
And I'm burnin', Im burnin', Im burnin' for you
Im burnin', Im burnin', Im burnin' for you

Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow

Time everlasting
Time to play b-sides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong and what's right
I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you
I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you

Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,

Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,

Happy Birrrrthday Dear Julie,

Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu!

A few years back… not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Julie Staub doesn’t come along all that often… in fact, there’s never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You’re an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is.

Quite simply:
You’re the kind of person
Who’s hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you’ve met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don’t know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!

Julie, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn’t know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of Birthdays and an exciting new year in time and space. You won’t be alone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Julie!

day 160 'eye of the tiger'

Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

chorus

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

chorus

The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...

day 154 'watching you'

day 153 'it's bloody hot here'

day 152 'crash and burn'

what a day!
it was such a roller coaster.
today i started a new freelance job with a photographer in brooklyn. on my way there, i get pulled over by the police because i was riding my bike on the sidewalk for ONE block so i could get out of traffic to park it! i have no prior bike tickets and they even called in my drivers license to check. and instead of giving me a warning, they give me a summons and a court date. that was the last straw. i have been so brave and strong through all that i have been going through, i really couldn't handle one more thing going wrong. so i have a mini-meltdown on the sidewalk after they leave and right before i start work with the photographer. working with the photographer shifted my upset, but i was supposed to end work at 5, and didn't get out of there till 6:30. i had only had a bowl of grape nuts at this point. starving! then i head home and pass by my local wine bar to say hi to my neighbor, matt who is bartending. sit down for one drink and end up talking with another girl at the bar. turns out she knows someone that needs a baby-sitter asap and the family lives in my neighborhood! she calls her and the mom just happened to be a block away and comes in to meet me. we hit it off instantly and is so overjoyed to find me! she buys me a drink and heads home. we have a formal interview sunday, but i'm pretty sure the job is mine. the hours couldn't be more perfect and she lives a block away from me! i was thrilled. now it's time to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzz.
