Something Beautiful

"Something Beautiful"

You can’t manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful that day.
A love is getting too cynical
Passion’s just physical these days
You analyze everyone you meet
But get no sign, love ain’t kind
every night you admit defeat
and cry yourself blind

The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo, each day
In the past you cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful, you just couldn’t wait
All your friends think you’re satisfied
But they can’t see your soul no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified, when they lived alone


If you can’t wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you’re lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can’t control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won’t leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won’t be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

*Robbie Williams - Something Beautiful

sumthin worth bloggn bout… MEN…lol (sumthn about them at least)

1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep
him away.
If he doesn’t want you, nothing can
make him stay.

2. Stop making excuses for a man and his
behavior.

3. If you have ANY doubt in your mind
about a
man’s character, leave him alone.

4. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to
save you from
heartache.

5. Stop trying to change yourself for a
relationship
that’s not meant to be.

6. Don’t force an attraction.

7. Slower is better.

8. Never live your life for a man
before you find
what makes you truly happy.

9. If a relationship ends because the
man was not
treating you as you deserve then heck
no you
can’t "be friends." A friend wouldn’t
mistreat a
friend.

10. Have faith in God regarding your
relationship,
but don’t let faith make you stupid.
God does
things decent and in order.

11. Don’t settle.

12. If you feel like he is stringing
you along, then
he probably is.

13. If he keeps changing his mind about
the
relationship–take that as a BIG sign
that he is
unstable. Do you really want to be with
a man like
that?

14. Don’t stay because you think "it
will get
better." You’ll be mad at yourself a
year later for
staying when things are not better.

15. Honorable men take care of their
business
and aren’t involved in a whole lot of
mess.

16. The only person you can control in a
relationship is you.

17. There’s only one ‘reason’ a man
dumps you;
he doesn’t want you.

18. Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of
children by a
bunch of different women. He didn’t
marry them
when he got them pregnant, why would he
treat
you any differently?

19. You really do have to kiss a few
frogs before
finding the prince.

20. Always put yourself and your
happiness first.

21. Always have your own set of friends
separate
from his.

22. Maintain boundaries in how a guy
treats you. If
something bothers you, speak up.

23. If he doesn’t call, he just isn’t
that interested.

24. Be honest and upfront.

25. Know when to cut the cord, don’t be
strung
along.

26. Don’t fall for the "I’m confused
role". Remove
yourself from the situation to let him
figure things
out (but don’t wait for him, move on).

27. If you want to have a clue as to
how he will
treat you, watch how he treats the
WOMEN in his
family (not just mom).

28. There’s more than physical abuse,
there’s
emotional and mental abuse. If he
causes any of
them…flee.

29. You cannot change a man’s behaviors.
Change comes from within.

30. Don’t let him place rules on you
that he is not
willing to follow himself — double-
standard.

31. Don’t EVER make him feel he is more
important than you are…even if he has
more
education or in a better job.

32. Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a
man, nothing more nothing less.

33. Demand respect and if he can’t give
it, he
can’t have you!

34. Don’t compete with other woman, but
be
aware that men are attracted to what
they see.

35. If you think he is cheating, he
probably is.
Confront him right away and if you feel
he’s lying,
let him go.

36. Actions speak louder than words.

37. Never let a man define who you are.

38. Never rely on a man for
compliments, look to
yourself for that.

39. Never borrow someone else’s man.

40. If he cheated with you, he’ll cheat
on you.

41. Just because he says he loves you,
doesn’t
mean that he won’t hurt you and it
doesn’t mean
that you are meant to be with him.

42. To use painful hard-won wisdom –
‘get it right’
the next time.

43. Know that you deserve to be the
number one
person in the life of the #1person in
your life.

44. Love is a verb …

45. Learn to give up your lifelong task
of trying to
make someone unavailable-available,
someone
ungiving-giving, and someone unloving-
loving.

46. A man will only treat you the way
you ALLOW
him to treat you.

47. All men are NOT dogs.

48. You should not be the one doing all
the
bending…compromise is a two way
street.

alcestis

November 21st, 2005 by nightmareintheflesh

A princess in Greek mythology, Alcestis ("might of the home") was known for her love for her husband. Their story was popularised in Euripides’s tragedy Alcestis.

Apollo was, at one point, banned from Olympus for nine years. During this time he served as a shepherd for King Admetus of Pherae in Thessaly. Since Admetus treated Apollo well, the god promised him that when it came time for King Admetus to die, another would be allowed to take his place. Admetus then fell in love with Alcestis. Her father, though, King Pelias would only give permission if Admetus rode a chariot pulled by lions and boars and other wild animals. Apollo helped Admetus accomplish this and the pair wed. When it did indeed come time for Admetus to die, Alcestis agreed to die for him. Heracles arrived in Pherae shortly after her death, and went to Hades to retrieve her. As a result, both of the pair were allowed to live.

Time

Time present and time past

Are both perhaps present in time future,

And time future contained in time past…

Fallen..

July 4th, 2005 by nightmareintheflesh

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I’ve tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It’s the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.
Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I’m lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don’t see
But it’s one missed step
You’ll slip before you know it
And there doesn’t seem a way to be redeemed

Though I’ve tried, I’ve fallen…
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don’t come round here
And tell me I told you so…
Fallen…
