Site Meter and Cry, more so not crying

Ok so this site meter is starting to bother me, just becuase I am nosey and I want to know who is looking at my site, lol I figure it's mostly me checking to see what number the dam thing is at only to have it go up another 2.
 
Went to see the Notebook tonight in Woodstock. It was filled, with lots of white haired old ladies and twenty somthings and there in between, there were only 5 men, yes we counted, to pass the time, and I had been told, bring klenex, and me Miss Crying Queen for everything, didn't shed a tear, I didn't even get misty eyed. I knew I should be goodness everyone arround me was, and I really liked the movie, Ryan Gossling was great, a different role from Sean and Breaker High and the Young Hurc on Fox, but still, to which when I told someone that I didn't cry, that oh well you must just be dead inside like Chandler from friends.
 
Which made me think, why is it that we all have to cry or laugh or what ever at a movie, I mean there are soo many out there, so many different types, it isn't wrong to like different ones, I mean how boring would that be?

New Look, Fresh Start?

Thought that the ole blue and white scale backround needed an update, and since there isn't much I can do to change things around here, might as well change things here, bare with me this is still a work in progress, next step is getting pictures up....might take a bit of time

Readings

I have just had a thought to add a little section here of current books that I am reading or have read.
I just finished Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
by Gregory Maguire. I really enjoyed it as I have his other books, you get to look at the other side of the story of some of the most belved books out there.

I am also about to read Ana Karenina by Leo Tolstoy we will see how that goes. I don;t get too much time to read over the summer due to work and "family" things that I have to go to, but I shall keep this updated as much as possible

Coffee and Me

I have a new friend and I don't want to think of what life would be with out it. My cupa Java, try as I may to ignore it last year at school, it has snuck back into my life, now that my brother and I have our cup in the am, but he is now away at camp so it's just me. Mmm dark roast, flavor enhanced, any kind that's a good kind, can't stand instant or that crap at work they call Coffee.
mmmmmm

Wicked - "Defying Gravity" music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

ELPHABA
I know
But I don't want it - No!
I can't want it anymore

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leap...

It's time to try Defying Gravity
I think I'll try Defying Gravity
And you can't pull me down

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand
You're having delusions of grandeur?

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've Iost
Well if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm Defying Gravity
And you can't pull me down!

Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do - together!

Unlimited
Together we're Unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been - Glinda!
Dreams the way we pl d 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem

GLINDA & ELPHABA
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I, Defying Gravity
With you and I Defying Gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!

Well, are you coming?

(GLINDA decides to stay behind.)

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
I hope your happy now that your choosing this -

ELPHABA
You too--
I hope it brings you bliss

GLINDA & ELPHABA
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy my friend

ELPHABA
So if you care to find me
Look to the Western sky!
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me!

Tell them how I am Defying Gravity
I'm flying high, Defying Gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring Me Down!!

GLINDA
I hope you're happy

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her
She's Wicked
Get her!!

ELPHABA
Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No One Mourns The Wicked
So we got to bring her -

ELPHABA
AHHHH!

CITIZENS OF OZ
--DOWN!

Wonder Why?

No not the TV show
But do you ever wonder why, I mean the type of wondering where you are just left there standing, throw your arms up, questioning, Why?

Do you ever wish you could just get up and leave everything behind you? Not have to worry about one thing or another? Just go where ever the wind takes you, carefree from the whys.

Do you ever wish you could go back and see if knowing what you now know would change the situation? Or would it all just play out the same and not like Groundhog's Day. Would you want it to change, for if there was this change then other moments would change or just not happen.

Do you ever get that feeling in the pit of your stomach that you just want to ball up and throw away? And no matter how you try it just doesn't go away.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to fly, and no not in a plane. Or that feeling of weightlessness rarely experienced?

Why wonder, when nothing ever happens?
