Truth, Lies, and Silence…

Just a handful of quotes I thought I’d share…

― Yevgeny Yevtushenko

― Mark Twain

“Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.”
― Michael Jackson

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.”
― Mark Twain

“The cruelest lies are often told in silence.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson

Being With You…

Warm days… Cool evenings…
Nothing makes it more Spring,
Being with you… Drinking some wine…
Our favorite band playing as we sing.

Holding hands… in the moon light…
Makes shadows behind our faces,
One look at you… Into those eyes…
And I know that I’ll never trade places.

One day… summer at the beach…
Where we can go and take long walks,
Still holding hands… still looking into those eyes…
I must be in love cause, damn, I can barely talk.

Kissing you… listening to the waves…
It is amazing how we ended up here,
Cause finding you… In this maze…
Filled me with joy, replaced the fear.

Obesity….

Why are kids fat these days?  Why are parents allowing this to happen?  Why does it seem like the more we talk about it… the less things are happening about it??? For the past five years this topic has been in the news… but yet, they never just come out and call the parents out… well… I think someone should…

One Word of Advice from Dr. Lee:

If you start to notice your child is gaining weight… look into his or her habits.  Looks into his or her recreational activities.  Are they exercising?  Does he or she go outside and play more than you did as a kid?  Does it seem like your child doesn’t have any friends?   If any of these answers are “no”… then its time to step up, be a parents, and teach your child healthy living.

What’s his main source of food?  Junk food?  Fast food?  Frozen meals?  If he is consuming all of these “types” of meals, then its a no wonder why he is gaining weight.  A child needs nutritional meals during his youth so he can get the proper nutrition as his body is growing.  Also, making home cooked meals and teaching your child what is good for the body and what isn’t, is a good way to teach your child how to have a healthy life.

I just don’t get why the media just doesn’t say the obvious… If your child is fat (and there is clearly NO medical issues), then shame on you!  You are not a parent.  You need to go to parenting classes and learn how to be one.  You are KILLING your child!  And if you cannot care for your children’s healthy well-being…. then why are you having kids??? It is your responsibility to make your child go out and play.  It is your responsibility to feed him properly.  Ugh… seriously, parents that let their kids do and eat whatever just really piss me off.  You have to set rules… You have to set boundaries…

Don’t just be affectionate with your child… Look after his well-being as well…

Motivation

Awake on this morning…,
The start, the begin,
Let the sun hit my face,
The Warmness fills me within.

Understand the goals,
To tackle for the day,
Make each minute count,
And don’t let one slip away.

Stand tall to the World,
Cause it’s a beast,
The followers in this life,
Are its greatest feast.

Take each step forward,
Let the moment live,
Don’t regret your past steps,
Forgive which needs forgived.

If you can remember one thing,
To be your foundation,
I love you,
And will help keep your motivation…

Every Step Forward Is Like A Mile

Every morning I wake up with a smile on my face,
Every night I go to sleep with a frown on my face,
The events that happen between these two moments,
Seem to go from great to bad between these moments,
I need to change my ways, cause every day it gets more rough,
Cause what I thought was good, obviously isn’t good enough,
Keeping my head high, continue to smile,
This one step forward, seems like its really a mile…

Life Likes A New Penny

Life is like a new penny,
Starts off all shinny and pretty,
Then it falls, hits the dirt,
And over time, it starts to look shitty.

You start to feel convinced,
That yours is the only one this way,
You start to stay home,
And never go out to play.

Until one day, you open your eyes,
And see something shinny in disguise,
Is your true love, could it really be?
Or just the sunshine, shinning upon me?

You look closer, and find the truth,
It’s another penny looking at you,
It’s looking beautiful, and you’re in love,
But not quit sure what to do with this love…

You step closer, and realize the truth,
Break away from the shell of nervous,
You see it for what its made of,
And not what’s on the surface.

Beauty isn’t skin deep,
True beauty lys within…

I Keep Drinking

These seconds seem to slowly pass…
As the bartender fills another glass…
But my minds still thinking…
So I keep drinking…

What can I do…
What should I do…
I feel every breath I take…
Just isn’t enough to break…

These crazy memories…
These crazy dreams…
I try to close my eyes…
But you is all I see it seems…

I know life isn’t easy…
But didn’t expect it this rough…
The smile I’ve had on as of late…
Has just been a front…

If only I could tell you my real feelings…
Maybe then we can have an understanding…
But not sure right now is good timing…
Cause my emotions will sound like whining…

So… yes bartender fill this glass…
Hope this Goose will make it last…
Clear my mind from these thoughts…
Hoping the time will slowly pass…
