Song For The Unloved lyrics
This one's for the mothers
Who have lost a child

And this one's for the gypsies
Who've left their hearts behind
This is for the strangers sleeping in my heart
Who take what they want
And leave while it's still dark

No one is glamorously lonely
All by themselves (all by themselves)

Chorus:
This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind
It's a song for the unloved (the unloved)

This one's for the bridesmaid, never the bride
This one's for the dreamers, who lock their faith inside
And this is for the widows who think there's only one
For the dying fathers who never told their sons

No one is glamorously lonely
Follow your heart (follow your heart)

(Repeat chorus)

Oh, tomorrow the sun will shine
And dry the tears in your eyes
Suddenly love comes alive
(Suddenly love comes alive)

For one last cry
Just one last cry

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind
(Repeat 1x)

(Repeat chorus)

My heart is sad... it is lonely and it hurts for the # 10 CP football team that i spend so much time with... more on that later...

Grad School a reality...

I now have a University of Arkansas ID #...haha... Step 1 down...

time to get those letters of reccomendation
and personal statement sent down to fayetville, Ar. :)


p.s I don't want to take th GRE... I'll pay somebody good money to take it for me!!!

What cancer cannot do...


Cancer is so limited...

It cannot cripple Love

It cannot shatter Hope

It cannot corrode Faith


It cannot destory Peace


It cannot kill Friendship


It cannot suppress memories


It cannot silence courage


It cannot invade the soul


It cannot steal eternal life


It cannot conquer the spirit.

So many of us have lost friend and family, or know someone who has lost a loved one to cancer... i found this poem and felt that it needed to be shared. It is such a beautiful sentiment, and it rings so true. Cancer is a horrible disease, but it cannot take away the love and memories we shared with our loved ones. So many people have lost a battle with cancer, and still many have won... for the survivers we need to continue to have hope and faith that we will be able to conquer this horrible disease. I do... and as hard is it is to cope sometimes... i refuse to let this disease kill my spirit and destroy my memories.

the best part of my weekend!!

I can't believe I left out the best part of my weekend?!?!

The best friday night in a long line of Friday nights. I love Jaime Rogers so much... and i love watching her shell shrimp even more ;)

Friday night was date night as jaime and I prepared a romantic shrimp dinner together that cost us $2.50 each. ( Yay for sales at SCOLARI's).Garlic and olive oil and shrimp and pasta and potatoes made quite the feast before our movie date downtown. ELIZABETHTOWN was such a good movie; and i didn't even CRY. I am so proud of me:) Kirsten Dunst is way cute and Orlando Bloom is absolutely georgeous. He's way hotter without the long blone hair and elf ears!
Thank goodness they're making a Pirates of the Caribbean 2 :) After the movie it was so nice to just hang out and watch some quality TLC ( What not to wear and Ballroom bootcamp) with Jaime. We were definate nerds on Friday night, but it was a great start to the weekend.
I miss my roomie.

long overdue...


It has been brought to my attention by a SUPER FRIEND that it's time for another update on the goings on; so where do i begin...

Since i'm completely immerced in the fate of the Cal Poly football team here's a little update:
*Nov.1 2005 #12CP Vs. Northern Colorado (W 31-14)
*Nov.8 2005 #9CP vs. #12 North Dakota State (W 37-6)
** Currently ranked #6 in the 1AA CP is off to a 5-1 start,
and as long as these guys stay healthy are looking forward to the Play-Off's!

Thanks to 2 weekends in a row in california I've actually been able to spend some time with good friends. Last weekend after the football game Shannon Tylia and I owned mothers. With free yeager bombs and mystery shots and lots of hot boys to dance with until the lights cam on it was an awesome night. It even had a "happy ending". Then to top off a great weekend we Shannon Rach Meg and I had a GREAT half price dinner at MOM's.



TUESDAY I GOT IN A MINOR CAR ACCIDENT.... oops ;)



This weekend there was no football :( but Cal Poly kept me busy all day saturday working cross "dry heave" country meet. NO FUN!!! But halloween costume shopping with my little sis is...and so are strawberry daqueries. Last night was the "night of the exes" at MoM's, but despite the awkwardness shannon, tylia, michelle and I managed to dance the night away.


GUESS WHO TOOK THIS PHOTO!!! ------>





A couple of photos from last night :)


Hooray for weekends at home and night's out with the girls... next weekend i'll be in Bozeman, Montana with the CP football team taking on the University of Montana. The midget training brigade will once again be in it's original and complete form and a charter trip will have us back in time to go out again on Saturday night. Yippee :)


Completely off the subject:

Sometimes life is unfair, and people we care about deeply are taken from us. And sometimes in these moments of grief and turmoil if we are lucky, we are able to see the lesson and the silver lining in the storm cloud. The glass is half full... we could always be less fortunate, and when times are really tough we have our good friends and our families to pull us through. If you are having a bad day.... i will promise to always lend an ear and a warm hug.

And sometimes we are very fortunate and people who have amazing spirits and strength come into our lives unannounced and allow us to see how fortunate we really are. To all of you i am so grateful.

Leaving the familiar behind...

It came to my attention yesterday as i was was mailing my FIRST graduate school application to the University of Arkansas that I really am leaving the comfort of my friends @ Cal Poly and moving onward and upward in just a couple months.
Graduation and a world of opportunity await... i can't help but be anxious and elated at all the future holds for me. But how i will miss it here at home in SLO...

South Dakota doncha know...

This past weekend in South Dakota was a trip...

let me just start off by saying CHARTER PLANE FLIGHTS ARE AMAZING...
It was so cool to fly out of Santa Maria on our own plane with no layover and no baggage hassles... now i know what it must be like to be a part of a "real" big Division 1 football program where flights like that are the norm.

Friday afternoon we arrived in Souix Falls, SD. The weather was perfect and after dinner with the team Jim, Tyler Connie and i went to THUNDER ROAD family fun center and took on their mini golf course and the race cars. Jim and I challenged Tyler and Connie to a team match... and after winning the first 3 holes, team CP ( that was Jim and I) were never behind. It connie and tyler put up a good fight, but in the end i hit a hole in 1 on the 17th hole to secure a victory for team CP. It was awesome. After golf it was time to take on the race cars which were out of control fun. The course was awesome and they even greased the turns so we were sliding all over the place. We even took on some 15 year old punk kids that were causin wrecks all over the place.... i guess they had nothing better to do in SD.

Saturday was all about Football... breakfast with the team... College football on the jumbo TV all morning...Pre-game meal.... and hr drive to SDSU ( South Dakota State Univ.). A crazy game "BEEF BOWL 39" that had CP scoring 2 touchdowns in 6 plays and then fighting to stay on top the rest of the game but finishing with the win. There was even a Steer auction at halftime. Anyone wanna buy a cow?? Talk about a big carry on!!! After the game we got back on the busses and drove through some crazy thunderstorms back to Souix Falls, jumped back on the airplane and flew home by 4am.




Looks like the view from the bus.... I'm so thankful the storm didn't start till after the game... but that busride sure was scary with lightnigng like this all the way to the airport, high winds and pouring rain. I'm so grateful the busdriver was able to keep our bus on the road.

It was a long day, but all in all a good trip. The midget training brigade has managed to keep the 10tked team in the nation healthy thus far... We 'll be on the road again this weekend in Greeley, Colorado. Wish us luck!!
