My Hood

I love my neighborhood. You already know that I like my house but the fact that I am within walking distance of my friends is a gift. A house ain't shit if people don't come over and today was a day that made me smile because I had visits. Jon rang the bell shortly after work with 2 beers in hand. He was just saying, 'hey' and wanted to show me the cruiser bike he bought for his son. So we checked out the bike and he got fixated on a weed in my yard and then it turned to my front jungle/flower area. His eyes got a glossy look and he became in a trance like state. I have no idea whats in there but he does. So he goes from pulling a simple weed to a full on assault on my much needed jungle area. A few orders to Tristan to bring gloves and a shovel and it was on. I call him napalm now. Roughly an hour later he had to go do football stuff with his son and 6 full sized bags of shit are waiting for trash pickup. I wasn't even done bagging up the stuff and Jesse rolls home from work and sees me so a beer is in order. Some chit chat and he's off to dinner. 5 mins ago he emails that there is something at my front door. A beer and a book he'd just finished. I have others sets of good friends that live almost as close so I am in good supply. I told Jon while we were working that if somebody had shown me a video 2 years ago of what we were doing at that moment I would not have believed it. Working on some weeds with what would have been a total stranger in a house I didn't recognize. I had to smile and the friends I have in other places know I got enough love for everybody. Peace and love 2nite and btw ..my yard looks much better.

Jealous of the Moon

Heard this song for the 1st time on the radio the other day at work. Hit me upside the head but no idea why. Bought the download on Amazon and played it a bunch. Mentioned it to my sis and she said it was one of her all time favorite songs so it must be good. No idea what it means to me but I love it so for my thousands of viewers.....Nickle Creek:

Trying on a brand new dress
But you haven't worn the old one yet.
You've come too far, to turn around now.
Giving up a good fight.
You're as strong as anyone.
You're back when you started from,
I see you're back where you started from.

Staring down the stars, jelous of the moon
You wish you could fly.
But you're staying where you are,
there's nothing you can do,
if you're too scared to try.

Drag your pretty head around
Swearing you're gonna drown with a beautiful sigh and a river of lies.

Staring down the stars, jelous of the moon
You wish you could fly.
But youre staying where you are
there's nothing you can do
if you're too scared to try.

Why don't you call me, I could save you.
Together we'll find a god we can pray to that will take you by the hand.

I hate to see a friend of mine,
Laughing out loud when she's crying inside,
but you've got your pride.

Staring down the stars, jelous of the moon
You wish you could fly.
But you're staying where you are
There's nothing you could do, if you're too scared to try.

You're staring down the stars,
You stay where you are,
You're jelous of the moon, but there's nothing you could do if you're too scared to try,
If you're too scared to try.
