It's something unpredictable
nother turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
I LOVE my job. I am a full time consultant at Jenny Craig in the Chapel Hill Plaza on Howe Ave. I love this job. I love helping people. I love just having a place to work at that I enjoy going to.
P.S.- they are still hiring. So let me know if you want a job with great benfits and a nice place to just work besides you would get to work with me and what could be better?
My life has just been the weirdest ride of life and this song goes out to anyone who feels the same:
That backwood town in my rear view,
Was gonna be my whole world,
Till my factory job got shipped to Mexico,
An' my farm boy chased a city girl.
I used to know everybody by name,
But everybody's moved away.
Can't say that I'm really wantin' to go,
But I've run out of reasons to stay.
This ain't nothin' like what I had in mind for me.
But then again, the future ain't what it used to be.
I thought, like my Mom and her Momma before,
That I would die where I was born.
Live a small town dream in a big backyard,
Raisin' babies an' corn.
Now here I am, one I amu row,
Tryin' the read the map on the dash.
Nowhere close to makin' up my mind,
With a fork in the road comin' fast.
This ain't nothin' like what I had in mind for me.
But then again, the future ain't what it used to be.
No, this ain't nothin' like what I had in mind for me.
But then again, the future, now, ain't what it used to be.
That backwood town in my rear view,
Was gonna be my whole world.
I like this song I think it really can relate to anyone...and anyone who took senior sem with Doc. E. knows what I'm talking about...can we say 5 year plan? And to quote Erin on it (Doc I hate you)
I really had a whole different plan set out for me and already my 5 year plan I had set up is nothing like what I thought it would be. But thats just how it goes. "When you find yourself stuck in a corner...turn around"
I really have this huge list of things that I want to do in my life.
Barry and I are starting up a band so anyone that can play anything let me know. We are looking for someone who can play the guitar, a bass player and poss. a drummer. We are gonna make it happen. We just want one Grammy and then retire.....hahaha.. Really let me know if you have any interest...he still has some connections in the music industry. If you want to know the full story or want to hear some really cool stories let me know too.
It truly is the people in your life that can make or break it and you need them even if you think you dont....no matter how bad your day gets....like yesterday. My day was just one thing layered on another.
She hit the door 6:55 sack full of groceries split down the side.
Can goods scattered all the way to the curb.
Look on her face saying don't say a word.
So, it's me and her and a can of beans sitting there on the front porch swing.
Western sky all turning red.
Head on my shoulder she sighed and said:
Been gopherin, chaufferin, company chairmen.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man that I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like i can't make it through.
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you
She said the girl I was with the business degree probally wouldn't recognize me.
I was going around the bank.
I was going to run them out.
Now all I want to run is a bubble bath.
Back then you know I had this plan.
Before all of this reality set in.
Here comes life boy ready or not.
Hey I wanted it all and thats what I got.
Cause I'm gopherin, chaufferin, company chairmen.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man that
I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like I can't make it through.
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you.
She said I'm gopherin,chaufferin, company chairmen.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man that I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like I can't make it through.
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman the woman with you.
La, la, la, la, la, la
The woman with you
I am coming to realize that this life is just full of surprises and to take all of them as just a new turning point on the map. And thats how it should be. I am in the right place right now and this is the direction I should follow...for now and I am sure that it will change with in the next few years and thats great.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
