I need a vacation
Yay, it's that time of year again, when the vacation book is making its way around at work. This means I get to choose what week I get off, assuming it's not one of the few blackout weeks or somebody in my area hasn't taken that week yet. Though I am the bottom of the tottem pole in my area, damn seniority based system (but that's another rant for another time).
Luckily, this year I have no obligations (like last year's wedding/cruise). So I'm thinking I'll take my first honest to goodness vacation. I just gotta figure out where.
So hey, anybody out there know a good place to get away from here? I ask all of you because none of you live where I live, and anywhere you know is not likely a place I know. All I ask is that it's English friendly. (sorry, I forget exactly wich country everyone here is in)
Don't worry (yeah Chris I'm looking at you), I'm not tracking any one down (YET). Besides, airfare from Cleveland to NZ might be a little more than my budget could handle.
And finally, because I'm always the last to joni in on something, song lyrics!
Good old Burnout series has gotten my addicted to another relatively un heard of band, Army of Me.
From Citizen, "Perfect"
It`s time that I got myself a nice suit,
so that I could look respectable for you
and it`s time that I built myself a refuge
so that I could hideaway if I so choose
These days it feels that everything is changing
used to be that every stride
you were standing by my side
Oh, but now it feels I`m walking on a tight rope
as I try to balance out how to make you proud
Chorus:
One day I`ll be perfect, I`ll be so extraordinary
I will shine, I will radiate
One day I`ll be perfect, I`ll be so extraordinary
I will take your breath away
And you almost don`t even recognize me
saying how did you erase
all but gorgeous from your face
Oh, but don`t be scared
cause I`ll live here forever
won`t you take a venture out
won`t you take a venture out of there
Chorus:
One day I`ll be perfect, I`ll be so extraordinary
I will shine, I will radiate
One day I`ll be perfect, I`ll be so extraordinary
I will take your breath away
Oh, I will take your breath away
And stars will fall from skies above
but I am no prophet of doom
Oh, I just thought I`d warn you
it`s a service I provide for free
oh, they call it love babe
Chorus:
One day I`ll be perfect, I`ll be so extraordinary
I will shine, I will radiate
One day I`ll be perfect, I`ll be so extraordinary
I will take your breath away
Oh, I will take your breath away
Oh, I will take your breath away
Oh, I will take your breath away
The words alone don't do it much justice.
(I'll place this under a cut if I can remember how later)
