That's Life

Again, it's been a while. sorry. My life is pretty uninteresting these days..mostly the same thing. I'm dogsitting this week so I'm glad for that! I love this dog! Haha. :)


I started watching this movie yesterday: Elizabethtown, I've seen it before but I was half asleep most of the time. I thought maybe this time it would be a little more interesting..WRONG. I watched a little, got bored, watched more this morning and finished it this evening. The following song was in it and I really liked it. I'm not sure why but I did. :) It's by James Brown and it's called That's Life.


[if you have high speed or not dial up internet, and you can, you should listen to it from the link below except it's Frank Sinatra singing it because the James Brown one sounded dumb..not like movie at all]


That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.

I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out 
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My

Best Days Haven't Met Nothin

• I hate when one person can put you in a bad mood by doing nothing special except being themselves.
• Today I was awakened by my neighbor's band at SEVEN FORTY FIVE. Ugh I was pretty upset. I'm pretty sure I verbalized it too by saying 'ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?' You see my window is less than probably 100 feet from their practice area. So fun. So so fun....
• I got burned today [yay!] at a friend's Memorial Day party. It was fun!
• I visited with an old friend. That was so fun! I'm glad we got to hang out.
• The lifeguard people have reached a whole new level of idiotic. I emailed the woman with whom I filled out the paperwork to find out info about when I'm supposed to work. And she replied with "Who did you fill your paperwork out with? I cannot locate it" ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! WHAT IS THIS!? Ugh. So unorganized. She emailed me back saying she found it. BUT STILL. Ugh.
• Tonight, driving home from my friend's I turned onto a road that within in 2 miles smelled like: 1. cows, 2. oil, 3. pee, 4. skunk, 5. fish. Just within in 2 miles. Can you say "attack on the olfactories?" geez.

• So I've been thinking alot..because I've got all the time in the world with no job and all...from this has come a lot..well sort of

I have 3 songs that I will be sharing the lyrics of with you. The first is something I could sing to an idiot that was in my life. The 2nd is one that I'd like to think is true for me. And the 3rd is what someone will someday sing about me. Ok here goes.



"Best Days of Your Life" by Kellie Pickler


'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met till you were making me cry
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
Ain't it a shame
A shame that every time you hear my name
Brought up in a casual conversation
You can't think straight?
And ain't it sad
You can't forget about what we had
Take a look at her and do you like what you see
Or do you wish it was me?
I'll be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
And does she know
Know about the times you used to hold me
Wrapped me in your arms and how you told me
I'd be the only one?
I heard about
Yeah, someone told me once when you were out
She went a little crazy, ran her mouth about me
Ain't jealousy funny?
'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your
Life with me was a fairytale love
I was head over heels till you threw away us
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
I heard you're gonna get married, have a nice little family
Live out my dreams with someone new
But I've been told that a cheater is always a cheater
So I've got my pride and she's got you
'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met till you were making me cry
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
Of your life, oh, oh yeah
You're gonna think of me
You're gonna think of me in your life
Oh, oh yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shame

Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet"
*I don't usually like him because he sings other people's stuff. But he wrote this, or someone wrote it for him. I don't know, but I know no one sang it before him so I really like it. I keep hearing it EVERYWHERE I go, it's almost irritating


I'm not surprised
Not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times
I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in
I talk myself out
I get all worked up
Then I let myself down
I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought I thought of every possibility
And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid that I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet
I might have to wait
I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing
And the other half's luck
Wherever you are
Whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere
And into my life
And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility
And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out 
And promise you kid I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet
They say all's fair in love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get right
And we'll be united
And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility
And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
Promise you kid I'll give more than I get
Than I get
Than I get
Than I get
Oh you know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And promise you kid to give so much more than I get
Yeah I just haven't met you yet
I just haven't met you yet
Oh promise you kid to give so much more than I get
(I said love love love love love love love love)
I just haven't met you yet
(Love love love love love love)
Such a good day yeah
I just haven't met you yet

Last one. :)

"Nothin on You" by B.O.B
*I've omitted some lines that I didn't like because they're dumb.


Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
They might say hi, and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
I know you feel where I'm coming from
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
Most of really was for the hell of the fun
On the carousel so around I spun
With no directions just tryna get some
Tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun
This is how I lost more than I had ever won
And honestly I ended up with none
There's no much nonsense, it's on my conscience
I'm thinking baby, I should get it out
And I don't wanna sound redundant but I was wondering
If there was something that you wanna know
But never mind that we should let it go
'Cause we don't wanna be a TV episode
And all the bad thoughts just let them go
Go, go
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
They might say hi, and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
Hands down, there will never be another one
I been around and I never seen another one
Look at your style, they ain't really got nothing on
Baby, you the whole package plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real while them other stay plastic
You're my wonder woman call me Mr. Fantastic
Stop, now think about it
I've been to London, I've been to Paris
Even went out there to Tokyo
Back home down in Georgia to New Orleans
But you always steal the show
And just like that girl you got me fro
Like a Nintendo 64
If you never knew, well, now you know
Know, know
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
They might say hi, and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
Everywhere I go, I'm always hearing your name
And no matter where I'm at girl, you make me wanna sing
Whether a bus or a plane or a car or a train
No other girls in my brain and you the one to blame
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
They might say hi, and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby

I've got another one I could share with you all...but I think maybe I'll save that for another day. It's pretty good so stay tuned. :)

I hope you enjoyed this blog. This has been in my head and on my heart [sort of] for a few days now and it's just good to share. :)
