rave: hey, soul sister



Heeey heeeey heeeeey

Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moving
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Heeey heeeey heeeey

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind le me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Well you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I cant be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)

rave: her diamonds




Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I’m doin'
Like I don't know now

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I’m supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I’m supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
And don't let her see

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
She’ll be all right
She’ll be all right
Just not tonight

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

~ rob thomas from the album cradlesong



i was lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet and hear rob thomas play a short set up at the mix 94.7 studios a little while back. he played an acoustic set for about 40 people and it was amazing! austin was his last stop of the day after an early flight to texas and several other stops in. he was very generous with his time and even took questions from the guest. i've always like his and matchbox twenty's music but hearing him live, acoustically and in such an intimate venue was totally a once in a lifetime experience. (and he's really funny and a great story teller.) he's about to kick off his tour for cradlesong. hopefully i'll get to catch him when he swings by atx again.

rave: 13.1 miles in disneyland


So after several months of training in the texas heat (austin had 68 consecutive days of 100+ degree weather) , my first half marathon is done. it was a lot of fun and i am really glad i got to run this with my sister and brother-in-law. i have to say, i'm happy with my time. but i do think we could have actually finished faster if we a: didn't have to start at the back with the walkers/3:00 pace group. we did quite a bit of dodging and weaving the first couple miles. (my sister and i also realized all that side to side motion made our hip joints hurt.) b: we did take a bathroom break in the beginning. but hey it was the one and only non port-a-potty bathroom on the whole run.

I have to say, the Disneyland Half Marathon was a lot of fun! if i was not so concerned about the time, i think i would have taken lots of photos. All the characters come out for the run when you run through California Adventures and Disneyland. You also run through the back parts of the parks. the best was runing through Angel's Stadium. very cool! i'd probably do this one again someday. maybe i'll have the energy to do the disney coast to coast challenge. princess half marathon march 2010, anyone? maybe i'll even dress up!

next up:
October 24, 2009 livestrong challenge austin 5K
November 1, 2009 susan g. komen race for the cure austin 5K
January 10, 2010 usa fit sugar land half marathon
and maybe
February 14, 2010 austin half marathon


happy running :)



ps: the rest of my socal trip was awesome too. but i'll save that for another day. glad i got to see everyone in socal!
