On Your Way

I hope he never hurts you like I know I hurt you
but I was undecided and it was all that I could do
but if he says he loves you like I know I loved you
then there's a way to trust him, and I'll get over you

so let his heart surround you, and let his arms protect you
and hold you every morning the way that I could never do
another life has blessed you, he wants the same as you do
so I must find the courage to send you on your way

all the nights reflecting in our chance connecting
help me find the meaning in the life I had with you
I wish I'd heard when you said that your heart could not wait
but it was my decision to send you on your way....

I hope he loves you like I loved you, I hope he knows you like I do
'cause if he loves you like I love you, then I can send you on your way...

The Roof is on Fire

Today I decided to take my dogs for a walk. I have never taken both of them at the same time...and I probably won't ever again. Digger is a Beagle puppy who runs wherever he goes. Sandy is a 4 year old Peekingese who has been an indoor dog since the day she was born. They kept up at the same pace until our walk was about half over, when Sandy started lagging behind. First the panting started, then she would try to stop on the path. At one point the walk was almost over and we were walking through a baseball field. All of a sudden I feel a strong tug on the leash. I look back and Sandy has taken it upon herself to lay down in the middle of the field. I decide that she probably really needs to rest. So I let her sit there for a minute, and then we move on home.

On my walk, I noticed some smoke lingering in the street. I looked to see if I could tell where it was coming from, but I couldn't trace it to anywhere. I thought that someone was maybe having a campfire, but it didn't smell like burning wood. As I got closer, I noticed that the smoke was coming from a shed. I immediately thought, "Well, mayb someone is smoking pot in there." I didn't want to knock on the door and reveal their secret hiding place, but the more I looked at it, the more I realized that there was ALOT of smoke. I decided to take my two tired dogs and ring the bell to see if anyone was home. Luckily, a man opened the door. I asked, "Do you have any reason why there is smoke billowing out of your shed." He said, "No, not that I can think of...I'll check it out." So he goes back there and opens it up. Black smoke comes pouring out. I asked him if he needed me to call the fire department. He said no, and got his garden hose and sprayed down the fire. He said that his lawn mower had started on fire. Once he had it under control, I left. I told my mom about it, and she said that he may have attempted to start his shed on fire to collect insurance money. I wanted to believe that it wasn't the case. And I don't know if it is. Either way I did the right thing.

Tonight I had a beer with my brother and a friend. It was supposed to be their guys night, but the other guys they have been spending time with went back to school. I told them that I was the pseudo guy, and wore a baseball hat. I don't think that I quite made up for the absense. There is only so much I can understand about video games, and movies that I have never seen. All in all, I think the time was still enjoyable.
