Mi piace la comodita’ della vita di cittá.

Secondo me, è meglio vivere in città. La campagna è un bel posto per andare in vacanza, ma mi piace la comodita' della vita di cittá. Mi piace vivere vicino alla banca, alla posta e al negozi. La città ha anche molti teatri e musei per il tempo libero.

Quando ero bambina ho abitato in molte città perché mio padre era nella marina militare. Le città medie erano sul fiume o sull'oceano. Durante l'estate andavo a trovare i miei nonni che abitavano in campagna nello stato del Tennessee.

Oggi abito a Manassas, Virginia. È una piccola città. Mi sono trasferita a Manassas quando mia figlia era bambina cosè aveva una bella scuola. Oggi lei abita a Philadelphia, PA. Adesso mi piacerebbe abitare a Washington, DC.

Wheel
People have the right to fly, and will when it gets compromised
Their hearts say "Move along", Their minds say "Gotcha heart"
Let's move it along

And airports see it all the time
Where someone's last goodbye, blends in with someone's sigh
Cause someone's coming home, in hand a single rose

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And I won't be the last, No I won't be the last,
To love her

And you can't build a house of leaves and live like it's an evergreen
It's just a season thing, It's just this thing that seasons do

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
And you won't be the first, No you won't be the first
To love me

You can find me, if you ever want again
I'll be around the bend, I'll be around
And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time
You just might wave hello again

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now

You can't love too much, one part of it

I believe that my life's gonna see
The love I give, Return to me

Across the Universe

I saw this film on one of the movie channels yesterday. It amazes me everytime I see it. It was wonderful on the big screen when I saw it at Cinema Arts Theatre when it first came out. It was a 2007 Golden Globe Best Picture Nominee and was nominated for best Costume Design for the 2007 Academy Awards. The clothes of the '60 were a work of art in themselves.

It is still an interesting commentary on the 60's. If you see it, don't let the simplicity of the beginning fool you. Its statement about innocence, war, peace and love becomes more intricate as time goes on -- just like the 60's.

Vultures


Some of us, We're hardly ever here.
The rest of us, we're born to disappear.
How do I stop myself from being just a number?
How will I hold my head to keep from going under?

Down to the wire,
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher.
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me.

How did they find me here? What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hiding right outside my door,
I hear them whisperin, they're tryin to ride it out.
They've never gone this long without a kill before.

Down to the wire,
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher.
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me.

Wheels up, I got to leave this evening.
I can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail.
Power is made, by power being taken
So I keep on running to protect my situation.

Down to the wire,
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher.
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me.

Whatcha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do about it?

Don't give up, give up.
Don't give up, give up, give up.

Vultures, Continuum
