working on since the 30th of November, I started to write this on a plane, coming back from one of the best times I have had,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Forever in your arms...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;As seasons come and seasons go, in a world that's ever changing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I don't know where I belong, In a world so unforgiving,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:

style="text-align: center;"&gt;A little girl of five years old, Confused by all the fighting,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;her parents screaming, shouting out, have they forgotten who they're hurting?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;How can she be strong?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;What keeps her holding on?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;When the world falls around me, and cold storms surround me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:

style="text-align: center;"&gt;Forever in your arms, Hold me in your arms,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;of love,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does a father tell is son, that life ain't so simple?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;He's a second class citizen because his colour has condemned him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;How can he be strong?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;What keeps him holding

style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The song is about how life sometimes is scary, or confusing

align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align:

style="text-align: center;"&gt;Where I work&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;But work itself wasnt too bad, I have a few things to keep me busy up to the new year. So after work I went to see my Grandma and Grandad, which always makes me smile, I only hope that when I am 75 I am as feisty as my Nanna :) 75 years old and she still knows how to make me smile... after that I came home and had a little movie marathon, i watched Skyline...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Tu9rpvmeYL8/TRwkdD3yihI/AAAAAAAAAA8/74WPY05SmYg/s1600/o-movie-trailer-skyline.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="173" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Tu9rpvmeYL8/TRwkdD3yihI/AAAAAAAAAA8/74WPY05SmYg/s320/o-movie-trailer-skyline.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Skyline... a waste of an hour and a half of your life..&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;I have to say, this is probably the worst Sci Fi film i have ever seen, an amazing rip off of war of the worlds and panic room, not very inspiring, and it had Turk from Scrubs in it, ha cannot play a serious role... DO NOT WATCH IT!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then I watched a few films on TV and went to sleep quite early.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got to speak to my special someone today, that made me very happy, I hope she feels better soon so she can enjoy her new year! I hope i get to see her soon, 14 days without her will be very hard... found something that makes me think of her though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://1.gvt0.com/vi/D9AFMVMl9qE/0.jpg"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D9AFMVMl9qE&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" /&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D9AFMVMl9qE&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the lyrics are here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;Your song&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside&lt;br /&gt;I'm not one of those who can easily hide&lt;br /&gt;I don't have much money but boy if I did&lt;br /&gt;I'd buy a big house where we both could live&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So excuse me forgetting but these things I do&lt;br /&gt;You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue&lt;br /&gt;Anyway the thing is what I really mean&lt;br /&gt;Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you can tell everybody this is your song&lt;br /&gt;It may be quite simple but now that it's done&lt;br /&gt;I hope you don't mind&lt;br /&gt;I hope you don't mind that I put down in words&lt;br /&gt;How wonderful life is now you're in the world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I was a sculptor, but then again, no&lt;br /&gt;Or a girl who makes potions in a travelling show&lt;br /&gt;I know it's not much but it's the best I can do&lt;br /&gt;My gift is my song and this one's for you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you can tell everybody this is your song&lt;br /&gt;It may be quite simple but now that it's done&lt;br /&gt;I hope you don't mind&lt;br /&gt;I hope you don't mind that I put down in words&lt;br /&gt;How wonderful life is now you're in the world&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"&gt;anyway I will close now as i have to have a bath.... speak soon x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1379074884629848631-7907448483091570997?l=torturedtales.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torturedtales.blogspot.com/feeds/7907448483091570997/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://torturedtales.blogspot.com/2010/12/day-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1379074884629848631/posts/default/7907448483091570997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1379074884629848631/posts/default/7907448483091570997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torturedtales.blogspot.com/2010/12/day-2.html' title='Day 2'/><author><name>Mike</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11235704262208554595</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Tu9rpvmeYL8/TRwiN86IgoI/AAAAAAAAAAU/mLN0ss-8haU/S220/IMG_20101225_212339.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Tu9rpvmeYL8/TRwisIIasTI/AAAAAAAAAA0/NMq9QMHs4rA/s72-c/1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379074884629848631.post-2892438126155438204</id><published>2010-12-28T06:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-28T06:57:58.372-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Day one....</title><content type='html'>So today is not a good day start to this thing, i have had&amp;nbsp; to go to the dreaded dentist of death, im telling you it sucks... to top that off I got stopped by the poice and fined for speeding, they say trouble comes in three's i am waiting for the third now, but we will see if it comes or not.
