From Songs for a New World:
"Stars and the Moon"
I met a man without a dollar to his name
Who had no traits of any value but his smile
I met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame
Who was content to let life pass him for a while
And I was sure that all I ever wanted
Was a life like the movie stars led
And he kissed me right here, and he said,
"I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you
And a promise I'll never go
I'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you
And the strength that will help you grow.
I'll give you truth and a future that's twenty times better
Than any Hollywood plot."
And I thought, "You know, I'd rather have a yacht."
I met a man who lived his life out on the road
Who left a wife and kids in Portland on a whim
I met a man whose fire and passion always showed
Who asked if I could spare a week to ride with him
But I was sure that all I ever wanted
Was a life that was scripted and planned
And he said, "But you don't understand —
"I'll give you stars and the moon and the open highway
And a river beneath your feet
I'll give you day full of dreams if you travel my way
And a summer you can't repeat.
I'll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure,
No strings, just warm summer rain."
And I thought, "You know, I'd rather have champagne."
I met a man who had a fortune in the bank
Who had retired at age thirty, set for life.
I met a man and didn't know which stars to thank,
And then he asked one day if I would be his wife.
And I looked up, and all I could think of
Was the life I had dreamt I would live
And I said to him, "What will you give?"
"I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay
And a fur and a diamond ring
And we'll be married in Spain on my yacht today
And we'll honeymoon in Beijing.
And you'll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas
In Nice and Paris in June."
And I thought, "Okay."
And I took a breath
And I got my yacht
And the years went by
And it never changed
And it never grew
And I never dreamed
And I woke one day
And I looked around
And I thought, "My God...
I'll never have the moon."
I don't know why I like this song... but I do...

Between work and visiting Tom and practicing and sleeping and watching movies on TV and at the theater... the summer seems to have flown by. Tom is doing much better and "IT" seems to have been removed successfully... He's home now... happy with his family, gf, and friends... Seth would have been glad for this...
So... today was my last day at work... I'll miss most of the people that I've worked with... haha... I'm excited about going back, but I'll miss working at the theater... it was fun with all the people, like Allan, Bryan, Chris, Cyntia, Edwin, Jehanne, Lauren, Lawrence, Loida, Nelson, Olga, Ozzie, Paul, Ricky, Sam, Sean, Shaunna, Thomas, and whole buncha other people. Always laughing and enjoying ourselves... Though I will always be glad not to have to deal with customers, I must admit that theater customers are ten times better than market customers. I hope that I can work there over winter break.... I mean... c'mon... wouldn't you want to watch Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings like a gazillion times for one month???? I WOULD!@#
It is now monday... and I haven't started packing yet... I will be packing all day today... I'm trying to not take a lot of things with me... though.. the pile is getting larger everyday....
I'm excited about going back...... though it will be weird not living near Jason, Mike, and Dave.... at least we can still see Jason and Mike... Dave, on the other hand, is in Australia...
So, far... I am taking way too many classes... and I'm hoping that I will be good at the a**i***n .... then I can drop at least one class...
I am going nuts!@#$
anywho... gotta get packing....
