Little Hershey Kisses Have Big Big Chocolate

So I am posting now because I actually have something to post about and did not post before because I had nothing to post about.
So I got the job I applied for. It's basically the same as the one I'm now working, except that I get a raise, paid vacation and sick days, health benefits, and I get to tell people what to do. I have not yet adjusted to the 7 - 3 work days, and my feet and body completely hate me, but mainly my feet.
On a side note, I am applying for a second job singing jingles. I know, Bob, laugh it up, cuz this was a highschool prediction. Except that I'm not actually writing them. I may be singing them or playing piano for them or arranging certain instruments, like maybe horns. But anyway, they're mainly looking for singers and I have an interview in about a week and a half. I think it'll be really fun. I'm tres excited.
I emailed Brad (the guy editing the Praise and Worship CD that we recorded down here), and he said he's just finishing up and will let me know when he's done so I can come in and hear/approve everything. That's exciting as well. I don't know what's up with the stuff I recorded this summer, yet, because in spite of continual nagging via email, Rick has not contacted me. I will maybe sorta almost kinda keep you posted.
Anyway, so any of you that are classic Princess Bride lovers of old will know that there is a commercial for Hershey Kisses at the biginning of the video, in with the previews. When I think of jingle writing, this is the song that comes to my head.

...On the road again...

Here is the latest update:
MJ and I are leaving tonight after that last summer school performance. We are packing up the car (the rents' car), and then MJ, mom and I are heading to Winnipeg. We are driving all night and hopefully getting there by 8 in the morning. Then we are picking up MJ's car (and mom will head home in hers), getting a temp. license, driving 4 hours back into Saskatchewan to license it, then backtracking four hours back into Winnipeg to spend the evening with Becca and new baby!!! Our next scheduled stop is Minneapolis, and after that, we are doing the rest of the hall in one long day.
Please be in constant prayer. No eating or sleeping. No having fun. Seriously people, only prayer. Well ok, just pray once in a while. Please. That is. Once or more a day would be nice.
This process can be tedious, but MJ and I very much love road-trippin' together, so at least there's that.
Mon Canadiens, I shall see you at Christmas.
Mi Americanos, I'll see you much sooner than that!!
Tee hee!

Me Wants!

I want to be done with my stupid taxes!
I want to find my tensor so I can rollerblade in comfort.
I want to know that I have a job when I come home.
I WANT WORLD PEACE!!!
I want to save all the whales and all the puppies and kitties and African children.

I want everyone to make all the decisions so I don't have to make them.
I want everyone to shut up, go away, and leave me alone.
Well not you, just everyone else.
I want neon lights pointing to all the right doors.
I want all the other ones locked and impenetrable.
I wanna quit lying to myself about what hurts.
And I wanna get rid of this abandonment complex that keeps coming back like a bad style from the 80's.
I wanna have the guts to say no
and the heart to say yes.
I don't want to say "I can't" if I should
or "I should" when I can't.
I want to agree with myself.
Know what I want.
Figure out what I'm doing.
I don't wanna think about this.
I want to procrastinate.
Put it all off.
Never decide.

I want strength
and resolve
I want to curl up in a ball
And reduce myself to a coma-like state
Wake up on Monday
With every task completed
Every situation under control
Every complexity understood
And each decision made

And then

I want to go home.

How many Ho's can I get?

Tee Hee... what a clever title...

A Beautiful Birthday Card

Bobber put this little ditty in my birthday card. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, with a triple love.

A LETTER FROM GOD TO WOMEN
When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils; but you, woman, I fashioned you after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you, the completion of my image here on earth.

From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib, which protects the heart and lungs and supports him, as you were meant to do. Around this bone, I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully. Your characteristics are as the rib. Strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the centre of his being: his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart. Support man as the rib cage supports the body.

You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close by him. You are my perfect companion for him... you are my beautiful little girl.

You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart. Your eyes are a window into your soul... keep them open, just as your heart is. Your lips... how lovely they are when they part in prayer. Your hands, so gentle as they touch and care for others. I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep. I've held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.

Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you: my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support.

You are special because you are an extension of me. Man represents only half of my image. You, woman, reflect my deepest emotions. Together, man and woman, side by side, you represent who I am.

So man... treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. She is my gift to you and one you must take care of as your most precious belonging: because she is.
