Africa in August

Hello everyone.
I am excited to say that I will be taking at trip to The Safari Lands of Africa. It is a joy to share this with you. I will be bringing back many portraits of all the people and creatures that come along my path as I discover the wonders of Africa. My father will be staying in Africa starting in March of 2010 and I will be a live in Nanny in my little old town of Pocatello, Idaho. I will still be available for photos, don't worry :) But I will be traveling in August not only to Africa but the United States as well. I'd love to discover more of the South part of the US. I haven't traveled any further than New Mexico. I'd love to go to Georgia and Tennessee. I can't wait for March to go to California for Spring Break; including Disneyland :) I am excited for this summer and my last "official" year with Upward Bound as a High School student. I hope to be a Bridge Student "College Student" the following Summer, but it all depends on if whether or not I am selected to be apart of that. I have done pretty well, so I am confident I will be on their list :)
Rehearsals for the musical this years seem slow, only because I am not doing it every night like I did freshman year, but it gives me more time to focus on school work and not get too behind. I am babysitting for Janae on Tuesdays and will be until March 9th. I will be moving in with her, her husband, and two daughters to be A-Live-In-Nanny until August after Spring Break. I am excited and I hope it will be a learning experience. Hope January is going well for all of you, and I hope to keep up on my Calendar :) I've decided since I will be traveling a lot, that this Calendar doesn't have to be just an Idaho Calendar, but whatever I come across. I hope I can accomplish this. Wish me luck and I hope to blog later.

Heaven was needing an Angel

I love the way you smile at me
I love the way you'll always be
I love it when we work all day
& come to a conclusion that we'll be okay

I love it when at night you pray
That miracles will surround our coming day
I love it when you think of others
& say "They're no different then us" they all have mothers

I've learned a few things here and there
Like how to love, forgive and share
When I surround myself with you
Being kind is all I want to do

I miss your voice when you're not around
Sometimes I call your phone, only to hear your sound.
It's amazing just to be around
Let alone being able to all year 'round :)

Let's have an awesome new year
Spread the laughter, no fear
I'm missing you already, come home soon
I'll keep playing that silly tune :)

Cali for Christmas

I am so excited! I am pretty sure I am going to California for Christmas! It will be the best gift ever! Warm and so wonderful! I will have many pictures I am sure. I went over Spring Break but this will be so different. Leaving the cold behind for the warm and beautiful beach of San Diego! I want to go to Point Loma again, right by the beach where I performed for Choir Tour! It's fabulous! What are you guys doing for Christmas? I just can't do tradition right now. Never really even had a tradition anyway! There is so much snow! I hate the cold!

Damn

Damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do
There is so much going on.
I don't know what to do.

My father once said
Run and find that inner strength
Damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do
Before you.

Open your heart and see that pain
Dream of a world without hate
Damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do,
Before you.

& even when the darkest shadow over powers
& even when you heart has shattered.
Fly again
& Damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do
& damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do.
Oh, before you.

Falling apart ain't so hard to do.
But at least you'll learn something to.
& damn the people that don't
& damn the people that do.
Before you.

New Inspiration: To add to the other unfinished projects.

If you know. I write. All the time. Some I post, some I publish, and some are still inside my head yet to come. Right now I am working on ALISON. I was working on RUNNING STILL, but got lost in this new inspiration, ALISON. It's good. I'll post more about it later.

I've been acting this one out for years :)

Fake

You're fake to me.
Where is the reality?
In your eyes.
Your smile is yet another surprise.

I glance your way.
Hoping it will different today.
This spark cannot begin.
Expectations will fail again.

You give me hope,
Just to watch me fall.
You give me wings,
Just to beg for your call.

We'll laugh on your terms.
The sun still comes and burns.
The day is no different from the night.
I'll watch you take your flight.

Sometimes it's better when you're gone.
I'm fine, until I start to sit and watch for you on the lawn.
You've made me this weak.
You've made me this bleak.

I am no daughter.
You are no father.
