I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm no stranger to the rainI'm a friend of thunderFriend, is it any wonder lightning strikes meI've fought with the devilGot down on his levelBut I never gave in, so he gave up on meI'm no stranger to the rainI can spot bad weatherAnd I'm good at finding shelter in a downpourI've been sacrificed by brothersCrucified by loversBut through it all I withstood the painI'm no stranger to the rainBut when I get that foggy feelingWhen I'm feeling downIf I don't keep my head up, I may drownBut it's hard to keep believingI'll even come out evenWhile the rain beats your hope in the groundAnd tonight it's really coming downI'm no stranger to the rainBut there'll always be tomorrowAnd I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshineAnd I'll put this cloud behind meThat's how the Man designed meTo ride the wind and dance in a hurricaneI'm no stranger to the rainOh, no, I'm no stranger to the rainI'm no stranger to the rainI'm a friend of thunderFriend, is it any wonder lightning strikes meBut I'll put this cloud behind meThat's how the Man designed meTo ride the wind and dance in a hurricaneI'm no stranger to the rainOh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

I wish I had this.....

When I fall in love, It will be forever, Or I'll never fall in love. In a restless world like this is, Love is ended before it's begun, And too many moonlight kisses Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun. When I give my heart, It will be completely, Or I'll never give my heart. And the moment I can feel that You feel that way, too, Is when I'll fall in love with you. And the moment I can feel that You feel that way, too, Is when I'll fall in love with you

I am pushing 30 and its starting to push back

Everyone has a picture in their head as to what they want their life to be like. I thought by now I would have a partner and a couple dogs, maybe a kid on the way. I will be 29 in a little over 2 months. I still want that life. Someone to come home too, who is happy to see me when I get home. I get so tired of feeling under appricated. I give and give and people take and take. I try to do nice romantic things for the perosn I am dating only to be told, this is stupid, or why did you cook? I have even been told that my cooking was bad. Am I picking out the wrong people? The guys at work try to give me advice, but what can they see from a girls perspective? I am so frustrated. I wanna date someone who will be ok with me going to see my family. (You would be surprised the amount of the people I date who hate that I am close to my family). My family is the only thing I've got. I love my family, and it may be a different dynamic from other families, but its mine. I dont know. Maybe that person for me is wating right around the corner, or maybe I will never find that person. Maybe I have already dated them and we ended the relationship. who knows? Blah. I am depressed now.

Keep on Rolling with the flow

Once was a thought inside my head 'Fore I reached thirty I'd be dead Somehow on and on I go I keep on rollin' with the flow Folks said that I would change my mind I'd straighten up and do just fine But I still love rock 'n roll I keep on rollin' with the flow While guys my age are raising kids I'm raising hell just like I did I got a lot of crazy friends And they forgive me of my sins Some might be calling me a bum But I'm still out here having fun Jesus loves me yes I know I keep on rollin' with the flow While guys my age are raising kids I'm raising hell just like I did I got a lot of crazy friends And they forgive me of my sins Can't take it with you when you're gone But I want enough to get there on And I ain't never growing old I keep on rollin' with the flow

Louisburg College

I graduated from Ayden-Grifton High School in June 1997. In August 1997, I began attending Louisburg College. I just recently found out that Louisburg could lose its acredidation around May. They cant seem to raise the money they need to survive. I know alot of alumni from Louisburg and now I feel like I should make it my personal mission to save the college that means so much to me. I tell people that I was prouder of my education at Louisburg, than I was at UNCG. I feel like I learned so much more. I grew as a person while I was there. When I graduated in May of 2000, that was the moment in my life that I knew I would be ok. I could never have been more happy. My family was so proud of me, and they were all there. My mom and dad, my Aunt Dottie, my cousin Karen, my Grandfather, John his ex wife and their son. I remember my mom telling me that if I didnt want to go to college after Louisburg I didnt have too. I had gotten into Barton College in Wilson (probably should have gone there), but chose UNCG instead. Thought I would save my mom and dad some money by going to UNCG. I enjoyed my time at UNCG, dont get me wrong. I just want to see Louisburg survive and make other students as successful and to feel as good as I did when I graduated.
