i'm built to fade like your favorite song

"move on like a sinner's prayer, let go like a levee breaks, walk away as if i don't care, learn to shoulder my mistakes, i'm built to fade like your favorite song, getting restless when there's no need, laugh as your story rambles on, break my heart but it won't bleed, my only friends are pirates, it's just who i am, i'm better as a memory than as your man...i never stay but then again i might, i struggle sometimes to find the words...always sure until i doubt, built walls too high to climb out, i'm honest to a fault it's just who i am...i'm just a dreamer and nothing more thought i should tell you before it gets too late, cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel, never know where they're gonna land, first you're spinning then you're standing still, left holding a losing hand but one day you're gonna find someone, right away you'll know it's true, that all of your seeking's done, just a part of the passing through, right then in that moment, you'll finally understand, i was better as a memory than as your man"

i'm giving up pop for lent.
not excited.

i've been working more on my book.
i think, maybe, that we're getting somewhere.

i'm thinking about sponsoring a child from another country. i think i might be financially able to do it, if the donation requirements weren't too high. i'd like to contribute, to give back. that is my tithe. i see those damn commercials on tv and it always breaks my heart. i'd like to do something about it.

i'm starting to feel like maybe i won't love teaching. and that, is a terribly terrifying idea. i'm already becoming a lazy teacher. that scares me.

my cat is curled up next to me in my recliner. my friend's son, my connermonster, is asleep on my loveseat. we've had a fun evening. i've spent some time with friends, worked, and went to school. it's been a productive week.

i'm glad it's friday.
