Somthing Completely Different

Rate the lyrics - Tell me what you think of the song and the lyrics.

Far Away - Nickelback

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance, Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know, you know, you know

[CHORUS]
I love you, I've loved you all along
And I miss you, far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all, I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
Cause you know, you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
(So far away)
far away for far too long
So far away
(So far away)
For far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted, I wanted you to stay
Cause I needed, I need to hear you say
That I love you
(I love you)
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
(and I forgive you)
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing, Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, Hold on to me never let me go
Keep breathing, Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, Hold on to me never let me go
(Keep breathing)
Hold on to me never let me go
(Keep breathing)
Hold on to me never let me go


So Far Away - Staind

This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

Chorus
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
And I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be
The Person that I am today

These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

Chorus (altered)
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be
The Person that I am today

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

Chorus

So Far Away - Dire Straits

Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down
You're so far away from me

So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
And you're so far away from me

So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me

I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See you been in the sun and Ive been in the rain
And you're so far away from me

So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me

So Far Away(The Catholic Song) - Precious Death

Wake up early, every morning,
Dreams were bad, but that's OKay
Hear the bells from ol' St. Peter's
Call to wash my fears away.
And after all this time, It feels the same
So far away, So far away

Tell me something I don't know
(I'd love to take you home again)
As I walk the longest mile that any man has known
My flesh and bone, the way is stone, my blood atoned
One man alone and lonely.

I tried to tell it, but the world wouldn't listen to me.
The way is brighter than the path that any man can see.
Inspiration, illumination, take the sin from the soul,
Show them total deprivation.

Slow me down, Don't let me walk my way
Somebody said the pain won't be the same as it was yesterday
but after all this time, it feels the same
So far away, So far away.

Tell me something I don't know
(I'd love to take you home again)
As I walk the longest mile that any man has known
My flesh and bone, the way is stone, my blood atoned
One man alone and lonely.

I tried to tell it, but the world wouldn't listen to me.
The way is brighter than the path that any man can see.
Inspiration, illumination, take the sin from the soul,
Show them total deprivation.

Some Fun Reading

Thomas Sowell writes, a little less about economics in exchange for some pretty talk on the ugly reality.

Pretty Talk and Ugly Realities - Sowell

And Neal Boortz explains how a stimulus package should work. If you are so inclined to believe in them.

There is a better stimulus plan out there - Boortz

Have a pleasant week. and may all your enemies be crushed beneath your feet.

Where has it gone?

The Shining Light? The City on A hill? The Bastion of Freedom?

The greatest country in the world is slowly melting away.

I ask, What made this country great? Was it the leaders that continue to look after the only thing they care about, their power and their pocketbook? or Was it individuals that created businesses, that created jobs, that created a fortune for not only themselves but many other people?

As more and more control of our public and private life is seized by a corrupt and often times idiotic government, are we now seeing the end.

I do not write this as an attack on any single politician, or even all politicians. I am simply in tears at the wasted greatness our fore-fathers and their fore-fathers granted to us all.

We as a people continue to hand over the keys to a few individuals who continue to prove they have no idea how to drive. When did we go from a government "by the people, for the people." to "Let Mommy Government fix everything." When did we go from "Ask not, what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" to "What have you done for me lately!"

We have slowly turned into a bunch of whining babies, that are not happy unless we are given our allowance, whether we did our chores or not. Being Grounded means, I still get to watch TV, play video games, surf the internet and even chat with my friends. Using various phrasings of the popular child mantra "But Jimmy has one, why can't I!"

If our Great Grandparents could see us now. they would turn us over and give our behinds a good whoopin' Because that is what they did to kids that acted like spoiled brats. And just think they raised what some call the Greatest Generation.

Think on that!

Sports....

Just a bit of Sports for this blog.

So my Vikings superbowl hopes went down the tubes. It was a solid game so i wasn't disapointed in watching it. I only wish now is that Ziggy fires Brad Childress and Hires (no matter that cost) Mike Shanahan. Would love to see Adrian run for 2500 yards.

Utah beat Alabama. Gratz to the Utes.

Thank God for Iowa! If it wasn't for the Hawkeyes the Big Ten would have pitched an O for, in bowl games.

Go Gators. Not that i am a huge fan of either team, but I truly believe Tim Tebow deserved to have his name next to Archie Griffith as the only two time Hiesman Trophy winner.

Predictions for the Superbowl...amended.(as they will most likely be next weekend.)

Panthers, Giants, Chargers and Titans will advance to the conference finals

Giants and Titans will face off in an epic super bowl that will end up being a one-sided affair with the Titans Rolling up a 35-10 lead by half time and coasting to a 45-23 Victory. The real game to watch will be the AFC championship game.

My Thoughts.....

My Thoughts on the past year.


THINGS THAT SURPRISED ME:

Another year without a major terrorist attack on our soil, with no recognition given to the policies or the policy makers that insured it.

Election of our first black president. I believed, until the end of September, that America would not be ready for a black president. (aside: I truly hope and pray that Obama doesn't screw it up for the next generation, I am for the idea of Minority Leadership/Majority Rule, Keeps the system honest. or at least it should)

John McCain's victory in the republican primary. In addition, his choice for Vice President Sarah Palin. There is virtually no reason Mr. McCain belonged on the Presidential Ticket, and Sarah Palin is the the only reason the election wasn't a landslide for the Democrats.


THINGS I WISH SURPRISED ME:

The American populace's continued trust in the Federal Government. Although they continue to squander "OUR" money, we continue to believe that if we just give them more they can fix anything. The government can not guarantee results, until they control the entire system, and we have grave evidence, in recent history, that doesn't work. Also, that those that trust completely in the government and blame Big Corporations for the recent financial melt down, are not up in arms that their trusted Government decided to use the appropriated funds to bailout those Corporations.

The media's continuing move from reporting the actual news to being an editorial conduit for their favorite ____________. (you fill in the blank. Candidate, Cause, Subject, Policy, Referendum, Person, Political Party)


THINGS THAT DID NOT SURPRISE ME:


The success of our Military. Thank you, to all the brave souls that VOLUNTEERED, to defend our country against all enemies FOREIGN and domestic. Keep up the good work and we will bring you home.

The Financial Meltdown. Although many seemed in shock at the events. My only surprise was it did not come sooner(thanks to the trusted federal government in helping hide some of the most heinous number pushing in recent history) Anyone with the "want to know attitude" could see the housing market wasn't going to last. The only proof we had that it was stable was the democrat led congress' continued claim everything was fine.(and i think you know how much I trust the government, if they say things are fine....it probably means Shit is about to hit the fan)


THINGS I HOPE WILL SURPRISE ME:

Obama's Presidency. I am not a fan of the policies of the far left, the left, the middle left, and often times the middle. But i hold out hope Obama will see the errors of those policies, and put his trust in the American people to fix the problems that the country will face in the next four years.

The Celtics will lose less than 10 games this season. Even though I am huge fan of the Jordan era Chicago Bulls, I would love to see an NBA team with single digits in the loss column. Now, if only the NBA wants to see that too.

Another Undefeated Team in the NFL. The Patriots were so close in 2007. (Mad props to the NY Giants for spoiling it.) But I am tired of Don Shula(who I have great respect for as a coach) touting his opinion about who should or shouldn't be consider the best team in history.

A Viking Superbowl Victory. OK this is a long shot, considering how well the Eagles are playing of late. But i truly believe the talent on the Vikings matches up well with with any team in the league, now if only we could get a couch that has some enthusiasm.

A Lance Armstrong Victory. I am not picky, Tour de France or Giro d'Italia. A victory in either would cement him into the place of greatest cyclist ever.(if he isn't already there)

An Oscar for Heath Ledger as The Joker. If there is another actor out there nominated for best supporting actor that poured as much of their soul into the role, I have yet to see it.


THINGS I HOPE DO NOT SURPRISE ME:


A nuclear Iran.

A Joe Biden Presidency.

The Great Depression II.
