Lay it on me…what’s playing on your I-Pod today?
For me it is an old-ey- but goody:
Band: Public Enemy
Song: He Got Game
Favorite lyrics:
Now if you take heed to the words of wisdom
that are written on the walls of life
then universally, we will stand and divided we will fall
because love conquers all, you understand what I’m sayin?
This is a call to all you sleepin souls
Wake up and take control of your own cipher
And be on the lookout for the spirit snipers
tryin to steal your light, y’knowhutI’msayin?
Look within-side yourself, for peace
Give thanks, live life and release
You dig me? You got me?

Indigo Girls, Lay My Head Down
Well everything that’s come before us leads us to where we are now
And that’s simple, I know so why can’t I let go of the feeling
That im lost somehow
I’m just a ghost looking in
Out of my own life just visiting
In search of a body to have and to hold and to keep and to sleep.
I want to lay my head down on you,
Because you’re the only solid thing in this room
A room full of missed chance, slow dance, cold fate, heartache.
I showed up for a party and saw my life story full view
And I wanna lay my head down on you.
i know its tuesday but i didn’t get home until late..
Singer: maria mena
song: fragile (free)
i’ve been walking around all day thinking; i think i have a problem i think i think too much
i’ve been taught to hold back my tears and avoid them, but you’ve turned pain into something i can touch
i am fragile
i am hopeless
i’m not perfect
but i am free
Kelly Clarkson – Addicted
It’s like youre a drug,
It’s like youre a demon I cant face down
It’s like Im stuck
It’s like Im running from you all the time
And I know, these voices in my head are mine alone
And I know Ill never change my ways – if I dont give you up now
As for the vegetarian post, wow you are right, at least in my case you are. I started off as a slightly eating disordered person – very consumed with healthy food choices etc. I cut out meat (all kinds) to substitute them with legumes, nuts, funghi and tofus.. This cut out a large part of my food intake and i started restricting more and more..
Have you heard of skinny cow icecream? Their ice cream sandwiched are to die for.. they are really very very good. All of their novelty icecreams are under 200 calories. I think it is a nice thing that there are OPTIONS instead of eating an IC that is 400-600 calories, but I think you will agree with me that their marketing (website as well as their boxes) are perhaps a little much. http://www.skinnycow.com
Love, Dandelion
for me today, its all about Untitled by Simple Plan:
“How could this happen to me?
I’ve made my mistakes,
Got nowhere to run,
The night is long.
As im fading away,
Im sick of this life,
I just wanna scream,
How could this happen to me?
Everybody’s screaming,
I try to make a sound but no one hears me.
Im slipping off the edge,
Im hanging by a thread,
I wanna start this over again.”
I could go on writing out the lyrics to this song as they all fit me so perfectly today. Bad Day? Never…….. roll on tomo

Title: Hide Away
Hiding away
Losing a day
As if it doesn’t matter
Saying goodbye
Scared to say why
Afraid it will shatter our world
Show me some faith now
Trust me somehow
[CHORUS]
Why are we keeping our secrets?
Why are we hiding ourselves away?
Anyway we can hide away
I don’t wanna fake it
I wanna make you believe
But I fear
I won’t let you
Hide away
Yeah
Where do we go?
How do we know?
What we’re ever really after?
Sometimes it’s clear
When you are here
Nothing can shatter our world
I need some faith now
To trust you somehow
[ Hilary Duff Lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com ]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I’m losing
Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I’m okay
Turn around
Look around
Go around in circle
Don’t run away
Drift away
Don’t hide away
Why are we keeping our secrets?
Why are we hiding ourselves away?
Anyway we can hide away
I don’t wanna fake it
I wanna make you believe
But I fear
Oh, but I fell
Believe what I say
I won’t let you go
Hide away
Hide away
Hiding away
Losing my day
As if it doesn’t really matter
Heart Shaped Glasses (When The Heart Guides The Hand) by Marilyn Manson.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX1fqMGQWtI
“She reminds me of the one in school
When I was cuttin’
She was dressed in white
And I couldn’t take my eyes off her
But that’s not what I took off that night
She’ll never cover up what we did with her dress, no
She said kiss me
It’ll heal
But it won’t forget
Kiss me
It’ll heal
But it won’t forget
And I don’t mind you keepin’ me
On pins and needles
If I could stick to you
And you stick me too
Don’t break
Don’t break my heart
And I won’t break your heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Don’t break
Don’t break my heart
And I won’t break your heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
And making me low
That blue is getting me high
And making me low
She reminds me of a one I knew
That cut up the negatives of my life
I couldn’t take my hands off her
She wouldn’t let me be anywhere but inside
And I don’t mind you keepin’ me
On pins and needles
If I could stick to you
And you stick me too
Just don’t break
Don’t break my heart
And I won’t break your heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Don’t break
Don’t break my heart
And I won’t break your heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
And making me low
She’ll never cover up what we did with her dress, no
She said kiss me
It’ll heal
But it won’t forget
Kiss me
It’ll heal
But it won’t forget
I don’t mind you keepin’ me
On pins and needles
If I could stick to you
And you stick me too
Don’t break
Don’t break my heart
And I won’t break your heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
Don’t break
Don’t break my heart
And I won’t break your heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
You should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
And making me low”

Here are two of my favourite Monday tunes:
You and Me and Everyone We Know – Maia Hirasawa
Think fast before they say that I love you
Think fast before they say you love me to
Cause then I´ll put my runningshoes on
And I´ll run, run, run
I ran
Cause I love the exercise and morningbreeze
And I run when I know what people hear
About you and me and everyone we know
That´s just the way it goes
But they won´t tell anyone about this no, no.no
Just a few of their lets say twenty best friends
That you can choose
Just a few of their lets say twenty best friends
That we´ve been making out in front of television
Think twice before they say, “I said so”
Think twice, in a few seconds the whole office knows
That we´ve been holding hands and haven´t said
Hello, hello, hello
Nothing´s happened though
And please, don´t take this way too far
Cause they´ve already been whispering at the backstagebar
About you and me and everyone we know
That´s just the way it goes
But they won´t tell anyone about this no, no.no
Just a few of their lets say twenty best friends
That you sent a text to me and I was overwhelmed
Just a few of their lets say thirty best friends
That I had a bad day and thought it was the end
I´ve heard that Sarah said to Maria that Oscar
And Fredrik found out that Julia
And Tommy was trying to see through that Josefine and Annika
Don´t remember excacly but I
Think it was Sarah that said to Maria…
About you and me and everyone we know
That´s just the way it goes
That´s just the way life shows
Definitely search this next one up on youtube! An explicit, but great song is:
“Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole” by Martha Wainwright.
Poetry is no place for a heart that’s a whore
And I’m young & I’m strong
But I feel old & tired
Overfired
And I’ve been poked & stoked
It’s all smoke, there’s no more fire
Only desire
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
That I’ve been messing around
Some sort of incubating period
For when I really come around
I’m cracking up
And you have no idea
No idea how it feels to be on your own
In your own home
with the fucking phone
And the mother of gloom
In your bedroom
Standing over your head
With her hand in your head
With her hand in your head
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I’m all right for you
When all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth
To do everything in truth
Oh I wish I wish I wish I was born a man
So I could learn how to stand up for myself
Like those guys with guitars
I’ve been watching in bars
Who’ve been stamping their feet to a different beat
To a different beat
To a different beat
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I’m all right for you
When all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth
To do everything in truth
You bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody…
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I’m all right for you
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are
Love Alex <3

I dreamed a dream. This woman is amazing. Best I have heard since I heard Ruthie Henshall sing it. It gives me chills. For some reson this song gives me hope…just fills my soul…not even sure if its the lyrics, the instrumental or what but it touches me.
Coldplay: Yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
Miley cyrus – the climb
I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I’m going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
cause
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I’m going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Somebody’s you’re going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Temporary home, I love this song cause…I may not be where i’m supposed to be in life right now but i’ll eventually get there.
Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein’ alone
Another new mom and dad,another school
Another house that’ll never be home
When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face
“This is my temporary home
It’s not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I’m passin’ through
This is just a stop, on the way to where I’m going
I’m not afraid because I know this is my
Temporary Home.”
Young mom on her own
She needs a little help got nowhere to go
She’s lookin’ for a job, lookin’ for a way out
Because a half-way house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
Someday we’ll find a place here in this world
“This is our temporary home
It’s not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we’re passin’ through
This is just a stop, on the way to where we’re going
I’m not afraid because I know this is our
Temporary Home.”
Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers don’t cry for me
I’ll see you all someday
He looks up and says “I can see God’s face”
“This is my temporary Home
It’s not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I’m passin’ through
This was just a stop,on the way To where I’m going
I’m not afraid because I know this was
My temporary home.”
