Yellow Card - Lights and Sounds
Hello you
How was the rest?
You made it through
But never the less
I got you, out on a wire
You be love and I’ll be a liar
Tell it all and fill up the air
But make it loud ‘cause nobody’s there
Nobody’s there
Nobody's there (yeah)
Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let ‘em bring you in
Slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
I Wonder where you've been
Make it new but stay in the lines
Just let go
But keep it inside
Smile big, for everyone
Even when you know what they’ve done
They gave you the end but not where to start
Not how to build, how to tear it apart
So tell it all and fill up the air
But make it loud ‘cause nobody’s there
Nobody’s there
Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let ‘em bring you in
Slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
I wonder where you've been
Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let ‘em bring you in
Slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
I Wonder where you've been
You've earned everything you've found
And painted faces frown
I'll say I knew you will....
Sunday WORD OF THE DAY:
RUNNING: WOO!!
Running is a means for an animal to move on foot. It is defined in sporting terms as a gait in which at some point all feet are off the ground at the same time. This is in contrast to walking, where one foot is always in contact with the ground, the legs are kept mostly straight and the center of gravity rides along fairly smoothly on top of the legs. The term running can refer to any of a variety of speeds ranging from jogging to sprinting. Traveling on foot at a fast pace; "he broke into a run"; "his daily run keeps him fit"
1. Running
1) the physical act of, basically, moving your feet in a fast rythmic motion to propel yourself forward at a greater speed than if you were walking or jogging.
2) a sport, wherein people run as a form of athletic activity as opposed to merely another action that a person can take. In other words, they run for the sake of running (or in order to compete with other individuals in an event called a "race.") Some people totally dedicate themselves to this sport, to the point where it is a major part of their lives. Others do it on a fairly regular basis in order to stay in shape, or as part of a training/workout regimen.
Still others run occasionally, when they feel like it.
In order to run well, it helps to have good form (running incorrectly can put stress on your joints and be even more painful), good endurance, patience, and commitment (you don't just give up after 5 seconds, or you'll never get anywhere).
So, I ran 3 days in a row. 3 miles each time. Yeah, I know. I know I shouldn't be running 3 miles YET. Here are my stats:
3/26/09 3 miles 31.48 10.36 min/mile mile 3 ran in 9.56 355 calories burned
3/27/09 3 miles 31.25 10.28 min/mile mile 1 ran in 9.55 359 calories burned
3/28/09 3 miles 31.42 10.34 min/mile mile 2 ran in 10.10 360 calories burned
I realize I am pretty obsessed with times and paces and even calories. Humor me OK?
As far as my TOE is concerned, zero pain when running, zero pain when walking. Last night it was slightly puffy and red but this morning looks back to normal. Normal being relative of course. The ONLY time it does hurt is if I take my fingers and move my toe up and down or back and forth. It is then and only then that I feel pain. And not the jumping out of my skin kind of pain.
April 1st will be exactly 10 weeks since the break.
Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon or star.
Confucius
The dark side of the mind. The mind without light to see or discover or understand new things, different ways to doing, being, thinking, believing. Even the night, with its moon and stars is light and shows the way in the world, to a new world, a new way. (thank you dear friend Pat)
I am living in the light now folks. Darkness may come over me, but I will not allow it to envelope me in a menacing way. I love the dark, but I love it so that I can appreciate the universe and the galaxy and the mystery it gives to us. It teaches us to see things in a unique way. A good way.
I am not spouting these thoughts just because its spring and I am running again. I don't spout lightly. You go through stuff, whatever it may be and you usually come out stronger at the other end.
Oh, its not all lights and music. My mom, well she is dealing with CLL. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. So, in essence I am dealing with CLL as well. So much to say about it, but I will hold off for another post.
So, it's Sunday and raining and gloomy and dark - yet all I am seeing is light. How freaking cool is that??
