40th Movement

I finally found Joel's blog and livejournal...like FINALLY, if you get one you get both, but sonce he wants to keep it private, I'll not mention about it any further.

I've also finally found the song "I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene, I was searching for it like my whole life. It is a nice song, but too bad it doesn't have any MTVs for it, same as "Cats in the Cradle". Why do all the good songs deprive themselves of making a great video? Right, maybe I'm being stereotypical...wait, wrong word...

You ever wonder how you'd react if you saw God's face?

I'll tell you how I'd react, fall flat on my face and probably never get up.

Maybe my spiritual life isn't that strong, Kevin even said he could safely leave TOG's faith formation to me. I disagree, all of us still have much to learn.

True, I leave things up to God, which is precisely why I slack my ass off in Secondary School everyday and also the reason why I'm in RP.

I'm not whining, perhaps God has a reason for doing all these, like bringing me to these places and meeting people. I could have been far worse in JC...

Not complaining, just thinking about what is going on with the life I have, maybe it's just me.

Anyway, here are the lyrics for "I've Never Been To Me", beautiful lyrics.

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise) But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
