Dave and Gavin personal review

Ok so now that the crap has been written down for consumption of the general masses. Heres the fun stuff.
We went to see Dave Matthews and Gavin DeGraw on Sunday night. Yeah it was a great show. I think though that I enjoyed Gavin DeGraw the most because he was extremely crowd pleasing. I love an interactive entertainer. He jumped off the stage and walked through the crowds. It was just hilarious.
Dave played for a long time. They just didnt play as much of the music that they are known for as many of the people around me expected. Several people sitting in our vacinity commented on this. Where generally I love to just listen to the bands jam out, thats like all they did. Im talking 5 minute intros, longer endings. You litterally could have gotten up and gone to get a drink or to the restroom in between every single song. Dont get me wrong it was a great show. But when you pay 60.00 a ticket thats just disappointing. Even Adams sisters felt that way. These girls are die hard. They go to see these guys everytime they are in driving distance. So they have seen them several times. We did enjoy ourselves though. Like I said it was a great concert I just would have loved to see more interaction from Dave and more of the music that we love and less jam sessions. Maybe Im spoiled but thats how I feel. I am still a fan. I still love their music, but I am just generally disappointed in the show.

Items of thought today

Tomarrow is the day Adam has been waiting for for a long time. We will be on our way to see Dave Matthews Band tomarrow night. This is Adams favorite band. Ok Im not the biggest fan but I have always enjoyed their music. Fan yes, fanatic no. Needless to say though, I am excited. I am excited because Adam is trying not to be. Every year he opts not to go with his sisters. This year he finally decided to give in and go with them. I know that tomarrow he will be unbearably crazy to live with until after the concert is over. He is already fidgety and cant sit still. Almost like time can not move by fast enough. Hes so cute.
Next item up for bid....
I heard from an old friend the other day. Which normally that kind of thing is a joy. But why did my skin crawl this time?? Hope ask why later I will tell you in depth.
Next on the chopping block....
The Christmas tree is up, the living room is decorated. Adam and I walk around humming ridiculous holiday tunes. Why do I love this season so much, yet dread it every year for the remaining seasons?
Last but certainly not least.....
Why is it that I pick stupid crap to dwell on.... That kinda goes with the second item up for bid. But I do have that tendancy. I cant let go of stuff. One day I hope to do so .

Sorted thoughts of the day

Honey Im home! Its taken a bit but Im back. I have had a busy life the last week or so. Ive seen Adam most nights, so thats kept me pretty occupied. Im sore and achy. Stupid to do a back flip with out stretching or even having done that in so many damn years. Will I try again? No! I hurt too dang much and that was on Thursday. No more horse play for Mandie.
Work was fun. I freakin forgot to clock out today so had to turn around and go back. Oh well Im not complaining. I got to hang out with my Evil pal. We talked about movies and such. Its what we do. And he picked on me for my recent activities. Paul is my Evil twin. Must tell him the full undisclosed information. Well anyways.
We are getting ready for some mad ball in the next week and a half. Yep the CWS is fixing to be in Omaha! I live for baseball. This is just the College World Series! I cant wait. If Hope is here for the 16th we are making a day of it out at Rosenblatt! Opening day concerts and such! Yehaw! Deirks Bently! Here we come! Moms gonna go with me even if Hope dont get her butt down here! But I really want her to be here! It will be fun.

Dad moved to Wyoming or something of the sort. He says its nice up there. I guess Im happy for him. He seems to call me more now than he did before. So maybe hes moved on with the idea of life he had decided I needed. But for the first time in almost a year he finally asked what happend with Toby. When I told him it was like he all the sudden wanted me back in his life. He was more interested in my life. You just dont know the pain I felt with my dad. I knew he loved Toby. But when I told dad how long the stuff he was doing had gone on, he couldnt believe what he was hearing. I guess he chose to ignore the fact that I had said it a million times until he could see the pain that it really inflicted upon me.
I was hurt, betrayed and emotionally scarred. I think my dad knows that now. It may be getting time to reveal more of my dad to Adam. I dont want him to think less of me though. My dads not the most socially acceptable person but I love him. Its just hard to share some thing like my dad with anyone. I just chose to keep my dad under protective wraps. Though I have a feeling every one I know just figured it out. Its hard to love some one that is not normal. But I love him anyways. I am a part of him. I dont know what I would be with out that half. So to accept me you must ultimately accept him.
Makes no sense to those of you who know nothing of my father. But I dont plan on telling more than that. I can think of three people who read this that arent related to me that know about dad. James, Kevin and Kristy. None else have ever been close enough to know my secrets. Hope understands the most. For shes the only sibling with this link. Shes my munchkin though. Having issues with dad, she knows exactly my feelings plus some.
Anyways I just really needed to let off the pressure. So since I am so sore I am going to go lay down for a bit. I am so dang tired its ridiculous.

Elvis Presley

Any one that knows me knows that since I was a child I have had this love affair with Elvis Presley. One of my dreams is to one day get to see Graceland. I love the whole story of his life. Sad and tragic is it that he was driven to death. He gave and gave to any one that he could, but it was never enough. Some one always wanted more of him than he could give. He was kind, generous and genuine. Not often enough is there a person of such magnitude and fame that gives of themself so freely. Elvis once walked up to a lady standing infront of a car showroom and asked if she was going to buy it. She replied with "only in my dreams." He turned to the sales man and said "rap up the green cadillac its hers." He was always doing things like this. At Christmas every year he picked out 50 charities to donate very very generously to. This he kept up until the day he died. Now 50 years after the dawn of his reign in the music world, we still listen to him, watch his movies and sing with his music.
Then theres me, never alive during his life, but his music marked me as a young child. I grew up with the ultimate Beatles fanatic. Yet managed to sustain my own musical passion. I remember in the 1st or 2nd grade mom and dad got me this little marroon walkman. The first cassett tape they got me was Elvis. Yes I remember that fondly. I lived with that tape playing constantly. Elvis music has been a constant in my life. I remember times when friends or family have died, and there on the radio was a song of his. He may be dead and I was never around to see him live, but his legacy has placed a brand on my heart.
If you were to ask me what of his songs I love the best I would be hard pressed to pick. But I would tell you "The Hawaiian Wedding Song." This making complete sense to the fact that Blue Hawaii is my favorite movie of his and that is the movie ender.
Elvis was a man with great conviction and had many faults. He was called the King but he was infact just a person like all of us. He was held above most and still is just for a great talent that he was given by God. He loved gospel music. Truth be told if he had been given the chance he most likely would have done that above anything that he sang. If I could go back in time to any period, I would like to go to the time when he was begining his decent. I would ask him what drove him to such greatness, and how he could deal with so much stress and pressure from the outside world.

Yes call me whimsical, or even nostalgic. But these were the days when music really got its roots. He opened doors and had one of the most diverse crowd of fans. What other single performer can say they created a whole musical movement? Some credit the Beatles, I say they just helped. But even John Lennon said "with out Elvis we could not have been."
I know I have probably bored all with this. But I show many sides sometimes. This is one of my passions. Elvis and his legacy fascinate me. So thank you for reading this if you did, and for allowing me to express this passion.

How do you get that lonely?

Look At What Ive Done By Chris Cagle

I saw it in her eyes when I was sayin' goodbye
That girl, she ain't gonna be alright
'Cause I could tell that she'd be goin' through a livin' hellAnd I,
I wouldn't be there by her side
And Lord I felt so bad as I sat and watched her cry
Thinkin' I was movin' on and she was barely gettin' by
Look at what I've done to her
Look at how I made her feel
I gave back her heart the broken part
She got the raw end of the deal
And look at what it's done to me
You gotta know it tears me up
I gave it everything I had and Lord
It just wasn't enough
Hurtin' her like this seems so wrong
Yeah look at what I've done to her
Now she's alone
I saw her out last night and she was havin' a good time
That girl, it looks like she's doin' fine
But then I saw a man walk up and take her by the hand
And I, oh God I almost died
And then it hit me she didn't really need me
I just sat there for a while until I finally smiled
Yeah look at what I've done to her
Look at how I made her feel
She's found somebody new
And look who took the time to heal
And look at what it's done to me
Gotta know it tears me up
To have walked away from the love we made
And just leave it in a cloud of dust
And now it's got me thinkin' maybe I was wrong
After all the things I've done to her
Now she's strong
And I walked up and said hello
She said it's good to see ya
But hey I gotta go
And look at what I've done to her
Look how I made her feel
She's standin' tall she's got it all
Got the world at her heels
And look at what it's done to me
Yeah look at how it makes me hurt

Good Bye On A Bad Day

(Shannon Lawson/Alan Peters)

You slipped off your wedding band
And tucked it deep inside my head
Forced a smile and headed towards the door
And as you walked out,
I heard you say
"Things just haven't been going our way"
And I don't love you anymore"
Now,after the day I hadI could have done without that

I'd rather watch the house we built
Burn to the ground
An stand out in the pouring rain
Let the good Lord strike me down
Than to sit here and watch you walk away
Anything would be better than your goodbye on a bad day

I've seen that look,
I can always tellIt means
"Stay away from me and go straight to hell"
That's exactly where I'll be when you're gone
And after a day like this,
my whole world's gone

I'd rather watch the house we built
Burn to the ground
An stand out in the pouring rain
Let the good Lord strike me down
Than to sit here and watch you walk away
Anything would be better than your goodbye on a bad day

Oh,you're the one thing I have left
When the whole world holds me down
Now,how can I keep going when you're not around?

I'd rather watch the house we built
Burn to the ground
An stand out in the pouring rain
Let the good Lord strike me down
Than to sit here and watch you walk away
Anything would be better than your goodbye on a bad day
Oh,oh,ohOh,oh,oh

Its Gettin Better all the Time By Brooks and Dunn

I don't stop breathing every time the phone rings
My heart don't race when someones at my door
I've almost given up thinkin' your ever gonna call
I don't believe in magic anymore.
I just don't lie awake at night
Asking God would get you off my mind
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.
Yeah, I got to work on time again this morning
This old job is all that I got to live
And no one even noticed I'd been crying
At least I don't have whisky on my breath.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna make it
'Cause God won't make a mountain I can't climb
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.
God, I hope your happy
Girl, I wish you well
I just might get over you
You can never tell.
I always thought that I'd do something crazy
If ever saw you out with someone else
But when the moment came last night
I couldn't say a word,
I stood there in the dark all by myself.
Yeah, I could of said a million things
All I did was keep it locked inside
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.
It's getting better all the time...



**** Maybe just maybe thats true. I know thats true for one part of my life. Now to fix the rest....

Just For By: Nickelback

I want to take his eyes out
Just for looking at you
Yes I do
I want to take his hands off
Just for touching you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Regret life since the day he met you
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Take back all that he took from you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do

Going Crazy By: Natalie

Ever since the day you went away and left me lonely and cold
My life just hasn't been the same ohh baby, nooo
When I looked into your eyes the moment that I let you go
I just broke down (down)
Baby if I ever get the chance to be with you again
I would sacrifice
Cuz the feeling that I feel within
No other man would ever make me feel so right
Its nice to smile when I get your phone call at night
But I'd rather have you here with me, right next to me
I miss the way you hold me tight
[Bridge]
I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch
I never thought that I could ever love a man so much
I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny
For you I'd cross the world, for you I'd do anything
[Chorus 2x]
Thats right baby
I'm going crazy
I need to be your lady
I've been thinking lately
That you and me, yes we can make it
Just ride with me, roll with me
I'm in love with you baby
Break it down now I'll tell you what I feel
From the moment that I met you its been so damn real
My heart seems to skip another beat
Every time we speak,
I can't believe I feel so weak
Tell me that you really need me and you want me and you miss me
And you love me I'm your lady
I'll be around waiting for you
I'll put it down be the woman for you
I'm falling so deep for you crazy over for you
I`m calling, calling out to you what am I going to do?
It's true and no fronting
Its you and no other i can no longer go on without you
I'll just break down (down)
[Bridge]
I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch
I never thought that I could ever love a man so much
I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny
For you I'd cross the world, for you I'd do anything
[Chorus 2x]
Thats right baby I'm going crazy
I need to be your lady
I've been thinking lately
That you and me, yes we can make it
Just ride with me, roll with me
I'm in love with you baby
Ohhh, ohhh....
Crazy... lady.....
lately.... Ohhh ohhh.....
Ohh ohhh ohhhhhh Baby...

True By: Ryan Cabrera

I wont talk
I wont breathe
I wont move
till you finally see
That you belong with me
You might think I dont look
But deep inside
In the corner of my mind
Im attached to you
Im weak
Its true
Cuz Im afraid to know the answers
Do you want me too?
Cuz my heart keeps falling faster
Ive waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I wont hide
Its time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life Ive waited
This is true
You dont know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
Im afraid to move
Im weak
Its true
Im just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know u met me?
Ive waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life ive waited
This is true
I know when I go
Ill be on my way to you
The way thats true
Ive waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life Ive waited
This is true

*** Im not an eternal sap or anything. After all the low blows in love I have recieved I still genuinely believe in it. I dont think I am in line for it anytime soon or even ever for that matter. I believe though that if I am ever truly loved I WILL screw it up. This is how it goes for some people. For me, unfortunately, I am one of the unlucky. I find it, bad shit happens. Its over. If I get lucky its to be left with a friend. So far I have two exboyfriends that are friends. But the one I loved for the longest shall never be accounted for on that list. He took my heart and went fishing with it. He can bite me. Yeah I know being a bitch doesnt make life easy. It just makes it more complicated. But oh the contempt in my heart for that short ass jerk. Ok now Im just being tacky. Truth is most days I dont even care anymore. But some days I feel so unbearably alone that it is easier to focus that pent up frustration on some one. He is just the easiest target and that pain is getting up on 7 months old. I dont care anymore if it hurts anyone by me feeling the way I do about him. I laugh at his misfortune which I know is very cruel. But what can I say? What goes around comes around. One who sets out to hurt others will end up hurt. I hope he is learning that lesson with every new girl he screws.

My song!

My silly friend Ryan is play writing me a song. Im laughing at it right now. Not bad though . It made me laugh. And I love how my name is not in it! Its funny. We are on Yahoo right now laughing!

I can write a song about puppyweld
her hearts been trampled on all too well
she came from texas but it's cold up here
but not as cold as her heart or as wet as her tears
she believed in love a long time ago
now she wonders if it's a place she'll ever return to
she pours her feelings into an internet diary
makes you sad still she says "don't cry for me"
she has a smile that shines like the sun
but the frown comes back when the people are gone
listens to music to ease the pain
sad country songs bring it back again
i know that in time her wounds will heal
her heart will mend when she gets a man who's real
my eggs are done so i got to eat
may not sound like the greatest treat
but it gives me the protein that my body needs
i'm the tree and these are the seeds
that guarantee that my muscles will be strong
i should shut up now, i'm ruining this song

That shit cracked me up. Ryan sure made me laugh. He said "dont put the part about the eggs!" I just laughed and said nope gotta thats the best part. Thought though I would give yall a fun laugh. That did it for me. So thats that!

You Dont Know Me

By: Ray Charles

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well.
Well, you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)
No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night;
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
Cause you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)
For I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy,
I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)
You give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me
(For I never knew the art of making love, )
(Though my heart aches with love for you. )
Afraid and shy,
I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)
Oh, you give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy Oh,
you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me
(you don't love me, you don't know me)

My musical passions.

I went to a movie tonight. I dont do that very often. I just dont do it. But I really enjoyed myself. The movie was good. So Im glad I went. It was one Mom and I had been wanting to see. We went to see Ray. Quite good performance by Mr. Jamie Foxx too I might add. I grew up quite fond of older music. Ray Charles was one of my favorites. Then naturally the Beatles. That was a musical staple at our house. Pink Floyd, George Jones you name it we listened. Like I have previously stated I love music. It is one of the great loves of my life. Arts, I just cant get enough of them.

I tend to be some what goofy. Today Lisa told me that Keith Urban was on GAC. So I went running upstairs yelling at everyone that my boyfriend was on tv. They all just laughed. I cant help it, I like music. I love some artists. But the song struck an all too familiar chord. Then again here lately that happens alot. Currently I am searching for the lyrics to "You dont know me" so far I am unsuccessful. I love that song. I know its old. But how can you hate those words. They are soo true. "you give your hand to me, then you say hello and i can hardly speak my heart is beating so... " Ahh I love that song. Im sure I screwed it up though. Its been several years since I have sang that. But I did. I performed it for a show at school. God I love that song. Just cant find it anywhere. I shall resume the search. I will write more later.

My Worst Fear

Rascal Flatts

Last night you gave me a kiss
You didn't know it,
but I was awake when you did
You were quiet,
you were gonna let me sleep
So I just laid there pretending to be
You said some things you didn't know I could hear
And the words "I love you" never sounded so sincere
[Chorus]
It's gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leaving
Now that I know just how much you care
You finally gave me one good reason not to go
But staying here is my worst fear
This morning I rolled out of bed
Recalling all the sweet things you said
This was the day I was gonna hurt you bad
Called out your name,
but you didn't answer back
I searched the house to find out what was wrong
Like a ton of bricks, it hit me you were gone
[Repeat Chorus][Bridge]
All along I knew that there was something missing
And only one thing left to do
I had to leave behind this life that we'd been living
But the only thing that left was you
[Second Chorus]
It's gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leaving
Now that I know just how much you care
You finally gave me one good reason not to go
But being alone is my worst fear
And staying here is my worst fear

"In this world theres only real and make believe, and this seems real to me." A line from a song I really like. Though I cant say I agree with the whole of it. I just like the song. Though that is the main part that describes me. The chorus doesnt even begin to touch it. But that is me right now. I dont know what is real and what is make believe anymore.

The only thing in life that is guaranteed is death..... Kanye West..

Green Day

J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)

My friend drove off the other day,

And now he's gone and all they say,
Is you gotta live cause life goes on
But now I see i'm mortal too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on
And I think it's alright

That I do what I like cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And i'm still giving
And now I wonder about my friend If he gave all he could give

Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart
You know that,

I know that,
Your watching me
Gotta make a plan

Gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles
If you wanna build a life
But I don't wanna make a plan
For a day far away
While i'm young and while i'm able
All I wanna do is....
