We didn't start the fire

I am always so impressed by this song. Billy Joel wrote this song based off of headlines between 1949 (the year he was born) and 1989. I think it is quite impressive that he was able to use headlines/major events in the world's history and actually work it into a song, make it catchy, and make it a hit! How many people can really do this plus it is very informative!! I would completely suggest reading the lyrics while listening to the song. Also a great source for teachers to get kids interested in this period of history? Perhaps.

If there is time I would suggest reading:

this reminds me of summer right now:

green grass

I see gorgeous green grass, budding trees and a slight wind. Today looks absolutely gorgeous. I will be going on a run again at lunch around the Rideau Canal. It's days like today that make me appreciate this city!

Let's try again

I do not see this from any of my windows but I wish I did.

Some are not as amazing as others, so it does take some patience to scroll through and find the gems. But, once you find them you just cannot get over those photos!

international YOU day

i'm sorry that it took so long
to write this song
but i gave up
you see one million words can't describe
how it feels
to know your love

where did i go wrong?
i should have told you from the start
that i'm closer then you think
when we're apart
nothing that i've tried
is as simple as this line

but without you
my life is incomplete
my days are absolutely gray
and so i try
let your heart know for sure
that i have so much more to tell you
every single day

i swear i'm giving up my inside
to the one
that i adored
i know this world is big enough
for you and i
but i'll give you more

i'm coming home today
to wipe the tear drop from your eyes
i'm totally enamored by your life
nothing that i've done
has ever been for one

but without you
my life is incomplete
my days are absolutely gray
and so i try
let your heart know for sure
that i have so much more to tell you
every single day

my life is incomplete
my rights are absolutely wrong
so wake me up
before you leave today
something i need to say
cause they'll be nothing when you're gone

train...again

i see lots of bare trees, dirty looking grass, sun, and a nice woman in front of me.

i slept from london to toronto, i feel a bit more refreshed, hopefully will sleep a bit later on on the train.

fields

My window today is the window of a train. I am on my way to London, ON for a work conference. All I see are trees, fields, some cows (one that was running!) Also, sometimes other trains pass by really close and it's scary.

I also feel motion sick. gross.
