Keeping Things Simple: Setting December's Objective

(Warning: 80's music. 80's video. 'nuff said)


Depeche Mode - See You

All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled the way it was before

Well I’ll try not to hold you
And I’ll try not to kiss you
And I won’t even touch you

All I want to do is see you
Don’t you know that it’s true

I remember the days when we’d walk through the woods
And sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes

You can keep me at a distance if you don’t trust my resistance
But I swear I won’t touch you

All I want to do is see you
Don’t you know that it’s true

Well I know five years is a long time
And that times change (oh that times change)
But I think that you will find
People are basically the same (basically the same)

If the water’s still flowing, we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do
And if I’m reluctant you can pull me in
And we can relive our youth

Oh but we’ll stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think I still love you

All I want to do is see you
Don’t you know that it’s true?

All I want to do is see you
Don’t you know that it’s true?

Something In Me Was Dying

It's a nice song. I like it. But the only problem is that it probably gives the impression that I want to be rescued. It would be nice, but in truth the only person that can rescue me is myself.

December is 3 months away. A lot can still happen within that amount of time...

Keane - Something In Me Was Dying

Something in me was dying
And my heart was heavy as stone
Hard as I was trying
I never could find, find my way home

And your voice came out of nowhere
Be my friend and give me your hand
Let's take off together
And then we can live wherever we land

Something in me was broken
And my thoughts were bitter and ill
My world was blown open
And I couldn’t see and I couldn’t feel
You said be yourself and think of me
And you'll know there's nothing to fear
Let's make plans together
It's time to move on and get out of here

Girl I need you
Don’t know what I would do
Will you see the story through
It's a cruel world
And I need somewhere to hide
But time goes by
And you're still on my side

Something in me was sinking
Cause my heart was heavy as stone
I gave up with thinking
I never would find, find my way home
And your voice came out of nowhere
Be my friend and give me your hand
Let's take off together
And then we can live wherever we land

Girl I need you
Don’t know what I would do
Will you see the story through
It's a cruel world
And I need somewhere to hide
The time goes by
And you're still on my side

Waiting
Searching
Turning over
Running round in circles
And I've worn myself out
Hoping that we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together
Yeah we'll always be together

There is Hearing, and then there is Listening

Nothing's worse than a communication problem. I was unable to accomplish what I had hoped today. We will see if I have better luck tomorrow.

So she believes that she has not listened to God. And that now she swears not to ignore Him again. Well, I don't know what she thinks God is saying to her, but I hope that she hears right and listens well. She is gifted in that way. That I know.

I, on the other hand, would not be so fortunate. For how can a man be able to listen when he has chosen to cut off his own ears? I just know I'm walking deaf, dumb and blind. Well, most of you can emphasize the 'dumb' part I'm certain.

Tomorrow is just another day away... another day I wish I didn't have to wait for.

Too much time is slipping out of my hands...

One Small Step for a Man...

So the situation has changed a bit again today. Got some news that I will selfishly call 'good.' As evil as it may be, right now I'm going to take whatever I can get.

However, while this may remove one obstacle in my path, there are millions more in the way. The same problems persist, and the destruction I sowed still needs to be undone. Not an easy job.

Slowly and surely I go again. Be resolute. Do what must be done. Do not falter. Many more battles lie ahead... and I must take it to the very (if not bitter) end.

Be ready.

I Am Terrified

Coward.

A single word. One word. But it is as sharp as a sword that pierces one's spirit.

I don't know if I've been playing it too safe with a lot of things, but I get the feeling that I may have a part of that label on me.

If you really want something, you do what you can to get it. Right?
There shouldn't be a single shred of doubt in your mind, right?

The fact that I'm writing this though... shows that I am feeling a bit doubtful. I will potentially face a guillotine at the end of this journey, although it shouldn't matter. I could be walking into a rain of bullets, but it shouldn't matter. My worse fears may come true, it shouldn't matter.

I am not the only one to have experienced that in their lifetime. So why worry and doubt?

Courage.
