I've almost traveled more in just this year than I have in my life before—London, Paris, Vegas, London again, Vegas again, Portland, Vegas again again, and Arizona. With the exception of Vegas (oh, Vegas), these were first-time visits. 2009 was full of exciting times even though it started with being laid off from LiveJournal. But without that, I wouldn't have landed an awesome new job and won a poker tournament, or experienced meals in complete darkness or on beds while watching acrobatics. Other first-time things I did this year: played paintball, wrote 30 poems in 30 days, was a bridesmaid in
's wedding, mastered Asian poses, made panda bread, threw axes, met two of my net best friends from 10 years ago, and sat court-side at a basketball game. There's more, and even more to come in 2010.
Goodbye To You - Michelle BranchOf all the things I believed in...
I just want to get it over with.
Tears from behind my eyes,
but I
do not crycounting the days that pass me by.
I've been searching deep down in my soul.
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old.
Feels like I'm starting all over again,
the last three years were just pretend. And I say
goodbye to you,
goodbye to everything I thought I knew.
You were the one I
loved,
the one thing that I tried to hold on to.
Heartless At Best - A New Found GloryThe
twisted thoughts that come out of your mind
are
heartless at best.
They keep you from your own recovery, I know.
And now you have the guilt of me on your lips—guilty.
And the crowds silent as a whisper
listen as she recites her scenes.
And one by one with different agendas,
they pull out their
sympathy.
And you're still my living proof,
yeah you're still my
living proof.
And everyone will remember me
only because of how I twist my words around.
La Vie En Rose - Edith PiafIl est entre dans mon coeur,
une part de bonheur,
dont je connais la cause.
C'est toi pour moi, moi pour toi.
Dans la vie,
il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie.
Et des que je l'apercois,
alors je sens en moi,
mon coeur qui bat.
London Skies - Jamie CullumWill you let me romanticize
the beauty in our London skies?
You know the
sunlight always shinesbehind the clouds of
London skies.
Still Alive - Lisa MiskovskyFor
how long?
For how long
must I wait?
I know there's
something wrong.
Learn to lose,
learn to win,
turn my face against the wind.
I will move fast,
I will move slow,
take me where I have to go.
Poker Face - Lady GaGaI wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas plays,
fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it baby, stay with me.
I'll get him hot,
show him what I've got.
I'm not lying, I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning,
just like a chick in the casino.
Take your bank before I pay you out.
I promise this, promise this:
check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous.
A Perfect Sonnet - Bright EyesI guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments
and watch it all dissolve into a single second,
and try to
write it down into a perfect sonnet.
Or one foolish line.
Vegas Skies - The CabIf
tonight ever makes a difference,
the way that I feel, the way that I'll remember it.
I'll take this down until the glass remains,
swallow the words that I was meant to say.
I've only got forever and forever is fine,
just take your time.
We'll stop the clock together
and know that the timing was right.
All of these guards, they stand tall and defensive,
putting up walls around what was once innocent.
It won't let me in, but I'm stronger than that
'cause you stole my eyes and I'll
never look back.
Next Plane To London - The Rose GardenI'm on the
next plane to Londonleavin' on runway number five.
Next plane to London,
and I'm
missin' him.
1, 2, 3, 4 - Plain White T'sGive me more loving than I've ever had,
make it all better when I'm feeling sad,
tell me I'm special even when I know I'm not,
make it feel good when it hurts so bad.
I love being around you,
you make it easy.
It's as easy as 1-2, 1-2-3-4
There's only
1 thing
2 do
3 words4 you—
I love you.
There's only
1 way
2 say
those 3 wordsand that's what I'll do:
I love you.
The Gambler - Kenny RogersSaid, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to
hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
The Rock Show - Blink-182Hanging out behind the club, on the weekend
acting stupid, getting drunk
with my best friends.
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour.
There For You - FlyleafSometimes I'm a
selfish fake.
You're always a true friend
and I don't deserve you 'cause I'm not there for you.
Please forgive me again.
La La Lie - Jack's MannequinGuess what I'm done
writing you songs.
So this is the first verse.
It's not very long,
but I'm ready to move on
Guess what I'm done
writing your book.
So guess what I'm done
drawing your pictures.
Let's Get It Started - Black Eyed PeasObstacles are inefficient,
follow your intuition, free your inner soul and break away from tradition.
You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out.
Burn it till it's burned out. Turn it till it's turned out. Act up from north, west, east, south.
Get it started, get it started, get it started.
No Cheap Thrill - Suzanne VegaAnte up, and don't be shy.
Is this
winning streak going to be nipped in the bud?
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you,
but it's no cheap thrill.
I'll match you, I'll bet you, I'll play you,
but it's no cheap thrill.
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
anything you have to pay.
Jamie All Over - Mayday ParadeI had a dream last night we
drove out to see
Las Vegas.
We lost ourselves in the bright lights.
I wish you could have seen us
begging for change to get home
or at least San Francisco.
Let's put a ten on the high card
and spend a summer on the west coast.
Grow Up - Simple PlanThis is who I am
and this is what I like:
GC, Sum and Blink and MxPx rockin' my room.
If you're looking for me,
I'll be at the show.
I could never find a
better place to go.
This Year - Chantal KreviazukThis year, I'll paint my masterpiece.
This year, I'll be recognized.
I can feel like I'll fall in love for real
this year, this year.
