Too bad you guys aren't out here long enough to head out there.

It would be cool to go see the grand canyon. Some other time maybe?

[PontiusPirate]

no maybe to it.
I think it was the grand canyon...maybe it was Bryce...Bryce is closer...like 2 hrs.

[SmileAndFollow]

Well just have to go to both...

[PontiusPirate]

Sounds good to me

The One That Got Away (capo 3 or 4, however I feel)
(kinda fast, about 110)
*verse 1*
Am7 C G D2/F#
Do you remember all those days you left me alone
Am7 C G D2/F#
In the heat of the summer you left me out in the cold

*pre-ch 1*
Em EmM7 G6 C2
And now, we're standing here reminiscing childhood fears
D/F# Em EmM7 G6 C2
And when all is said and done I hope you've had your fun
Cm
Look at what you've become... (and)


*chorus*
Em Dtriad C2
There's nothing left to say
Dtriad Em Bm7 C2
You've searched the world only to find
Dtriad Em Dtriad C2
That the one that got away
Dtriad Em Am7-h-Am Dtriad Em
Was right in front of you all this time

*verse 2*
Am7 C G D2/F#
Did you get the message that I sent you years before
Am7 C G D2/F#
Said how I want you but I had to close the door

*pre-ch 2*
Em EmM7 G6 C2
Did you know that in my pain I let fall so many tears
D/F# Em EmM7 G6 C2
Long ago, I would've done anything to have you near
Cm
And now you're standing here... (but)

*instrumental br*
Em D/F# C2 G - D/F#
Em D/F# C2 G - D/F#
Em D/F# C2 (pause... back to chorus 2x, start fingerpicking then build 2nd time)

*end*
D/F# Em Dtriad C2
Oh, the one that got away
D G C2 C2 (hammer-on w/ index finger)

ROFL.... yes i did write it. Like... a few months ago... not more than half a year ago.

1. Children are great when they're not yours. HAHAHA!
2. The ones I can touch/handle w/o fear of breaking. aka MINE! so... one guitar so far. but i'm looking to get another soon... hopefully... an electric...?
3. Only teh most AWESOMEIST guitar player........ hah. that's not a word. o well.
4. not exactly. I speak English obviously... and an eeeensy bit of Chinglish, which for me is 90% English, 7% Cantonese and 3% non-words... like Ai-yah! Wah! Auh!
5. Not much at all. I've been watching even less as of this past week...
6. I have no idea! Maybe as a honeymoon spot eventually... hah.
7. I don't drink soda anymore. I've lost like, 5 pounds just from giving up soda. But Dr. Pepper was pretty good.
8. I have a cell phone. They're good to have. Especially if you get stuck in the middle of nowhere and need to get home.
9. Wow, go Erika! I don't have that much gumption. I'd give that up at the first sign of PMS! I can't do that. But good for you! I have no objection to what other ppl want to do for themselves or for God. Fasting to focus on the more important things is a good thing and I'm for it!

ok..... this first..... then maybe more. I have prose i wanna post first.

[Josh]

Here I am to say hello.
Just call me Josh, a handsome fellow.

Josh.

(I know, I know, you don't have to say anything.)

[hapa_angel]

hahah hi Josh... thank you for still talking to me on AIM after all the other ppl left the chatroom.

[KentI]

Hi! Just stoppin' by to say hey. It was awesome talkin' to y'all yesterday!

[Josh]

Rachhhhhhhhhhh-L what's up. Tell us what happened to you today, and how I saved your life....?

Josh.

[hapa_angel]

Hi Jon, Josh! *waves* Thank you for stopping by!

Haha.... JB you are one funny guy. You crack me up and make me smile. Thanks buddy.

_________________________________________________
Wow. Today was simply gorgeous. the sun was out and it was beautiful, sooo hot and everything again. Unfortunately I got sunburned. Bad. Both of my arms. I look like Sebastian the crab from The Little Mermaid now. Good thing i had makeup on my face or the rest of me would look like that too. argh.

Before we went home, my mom and I stopped by this lil place right by school called Quicklys... they sell those Asian tapioca drinks and other Asian foods there. My mom got a pineapple tappy and I got green apple (like always lol). Not terribly good but juuuust hit the spot right then and there.

More stuff happened today...... as josh alluded to..... but i'm not gonna drag personal stuff back on here again. I've learned a number of lessons. That would be one of them. But let's just say I'm still working on not being too hasty. In general. I tend to want what i want when i want it, and i still have to work through that when i'm obviously not gonna get anything i want for a long time. (Yes it's vague again. Too bad. I will not give details here. IM or PM me to chat abt it.)

But it's interesting.... I've learned enough from this past week that i'm able to counsel one of my pals who's sorta in a similar place... well we were last week, anyway. Hah. But basically.... I get to say "look at me" and "don't do what I did" now as well as a couple of good lines i gave her about why to listen to your gut rather than your heart. See..... the heart is a deceiver. It wants to be fulfilled, NOW and will say whatever it takes to get its way. Whereas the gut only wants you to stay in one piece, regardless of whether you feel happyhappy or not. So... your gut is looking out for you, and your heart is not. I learned the hard way not to listen to your heart. My gut was telling me something different all the way through... and i shouldn't have given my heart preference over my gut when I knew deep down that my gut was right.

Ok.... no more on this..... ever. Seriously.

oh and I posted a brand new song in my songs link..... RC please!

Until next time
