They

"Who made up all the rules?
We follow them like fools.
Believe them to be true...
Don't care to think them through.

I'm sorry... So sorry
I'm sorry... It's like this
I'm sorry... So sorry
I'm sorry... We do this

And it's Ironic too,
Cuz what we tend to do,
Is act on what they say...
and then it is that way.

I'm sorry... So sorry
I'm sorry... It's like this
I'm sorry... So sorry
I'm sorry... We do this

Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they possibly know this?

Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they possibly know this?

Do you see... What I see...
Why do we live like this?

Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss?

Who are they?
Where are they?
How do they know all this?

I'm sorry...So Sorry
I'm sorry, It's like this

Do you see what I see?
Why do we live like this?
Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss?

Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they know all this?

I'm sorry... So sorry
I'm sorry we do this."

Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!!



Yup... I took the quiz at http://www.fidius.org/quiz/pirate.php and the results are in...

Ladies and Gentlemen... From this day forth, every September 19, I shall be known as

"Mad Bess Rackham"

Here is the description that came with my new name:

"Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!"

But then there are those few special people we meet that touch us in ways that are indescribable with words. And no matter where life takes us, our paths continue to cross along the way.

To My Dear Friend Knikki...

you truly are one of the most amazing and beautiful people I have ever met and I never stop admiring you. I wish all good things for you as you take the next step in your own journey.

Love you both!

XOXOXOXO!

Mary

I have been going through a lot of pictures lately trying to get photos from my parents in order so that I will be able to pass on some record of my past.

In doing so, it's brought on a lot of memories... and then in the car the other day I was listening to one of my favorite Boingo albums and the lyrics to one of the songs really hit me... again... so I decided to share. Sheesh anyone else I know out there feel like they can relate to this song????

"Oh mary wasn’t happy with the life that she led
She was a simple girl without much to say
So one day she just upped and left her dreary home
And she left all her friends behind to wander all alone
And at first she was afraid, she was so far away
From her home but slowly she got to like it anyway
Oh mary won’t you please come...

Well in time she found that
The mountain that she had been taught
Her whole life, that she must avoid
And though at first it hurt, and no one could comfort her
She finally came to appreciate it
And she like it, she like it - oh wasn’t she surprised
And though still alone, she grew so much inside
Oh mary won’t you please come...

And after a time, she became so sublime
She could look in peoples eyes and read their minds
Though her hands would sometimes bleed and occasionally
She would long for her past and the memories they bring
She decided to return to her old home town
And her heart was burning with all the things she found
Oh mary won’t you please come...

So, mary came back and at first no one recognized her face
And her friends were all a little bit afraid
When they heard what she had to say
They all slowly backed away
And her family took her aside and put their arms around her
They said mary won’t you please come back to us now
There is still time to repent for all your sins
And mary started to cry when she realized
That she’d never come home again in her life

Oh mary won’t you please come
Mary won’t you please come home..."

Flaming Gorge Trip

You ever have those shots you get that aren't by any means good... in fact they might even be downright bad, and yet they touch you in a way that you just can't get rid of them?

This one I almost deleted several times while on my trip to Flaming Gorge this weekend. It wasn't even in focus for the most part... and yet I couldn't bring myself to delete it from my memory card.

I decided to mess around with it in photoshop a bit tonight and while I was playing with it, I came to the realization of why I didn't want to delete it... yes... it was a moment... and no, I don't feel like sharing...

I'll just share the photograph and let you interpret it how you would like. :) After all, that's what photography is all about right?

The trip was nothing less than amazing... The water was beautiful, got to relax and work on my tan, spent quality time with some of my favoritest people in the world... and yes, I even caught air while on the wakeboard.

With the exception of a few passing clouds and a moment of melancholy or two, the weekend was absolutely perfect. :)
