I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigaretteI said, Where you been?
He said, Ask anything:
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came To the corner of First and Amistad
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait? Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her The only one who’s ever known
Who I am Who I’m not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
Early morning The city breaks
I’ve been calling For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
Why’d you have to wait
To find me, to find me?
If I found God on the corner of the street...this song is probably how I'd feel too.
But deep down I know that it wasn't Him who got lost, I strayed away first. So...technically He didn't find me. He knew exactly where I was, what I was doing, and why I strayed in the first place....but here He is...still waiting on me to turn my life back around to where it's supposed to.
Thanks for not giving up on me...and for not letting me give up on myself.

Happy Belated Birthday to ME!!
I turned 25 on March 3rd. It was a good day and a bad day. Good because I got 4 birthday cakes last week! =) And sad because I think it's mandatory that you get a little bit sad on your birthday.
Much love to everyone who came out for my birthday on Saturday to Bar I. A night out drinking with my homies was MUCH needed and I seriously can't remember the last time I had so much fun! I'm proud of myself that I last the whole night! I wish I had pictures *womp*womp*
I end off today's rant with something that Miss Kimmy sent me over a month ago that I always said I'd do but never did b/c I'm a FAMOUS procrastinator...but here goes since I'm at work and I have nother better to do.:
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits or goals about you.
1. The sound of music boxes creep me out (and any kind of chanting).
2. I have a dreamcatcher above my bed. I was told that you're supposed to put it over your window as this is where the bad dreams come from...but I like my way better.
3. When I think of summer, I think of camping, bonfires and great friends sitting around having a few beers and making each other laugh. Those are the best parts of summer!
4. I'm currently rocking out to Beyonce's- Single Ladies while driving in my car.
5. I'm a sucker for pop music. I don't care if that makes me lame or a teeny bopper...there's just something about those damn catchy tunes and sing-along lyrics that get's me everytime.
6. I read a quote from Barack Obama in a magazine that said "A man is either trying to live up to his father's expectations, or to make up for his mistakes." I couldn't agree more!
7. I don't have much of a sweet tooth when it comes to candy or chocolates...but I will ALWAYS order dessert with my meal...it's just not complete without dessert.
8. I absolutely love love looooove bag pipes! I don't know why...but when I hear them I get a little giddy.
9. The smell of cigar smoke brings back memories from childhood when I used to spend all those spring/summer days at the horse track with my grandparents.
10. I swear a lot. Even in front of children...but I always follow it up with: "Only Auntie Jayne talks like this!" *BIG SMILE!*
11. I hate the word panties. *shudder*
12. I can't keep a secret (but I've been working on that!)
13. I was named after Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman). I know that YOU know who I'm talking about.
14. I love practical jokes. I know they're mean... but they're also hilarious. I've mastered the "hiding in one spot then jumping out and scaring you" technique. Actually it's the only practical joke I ever play...but it's the BEST! (My sister and I picked up on this from my dad, who used to do it to us!)
15. I'm still trying to quit smoking. It's really hard...BUT I didn't smoke at all on Saturday for my birthday. (Except for that one smoke at Warren's, but that doesn't count because we weren't at Bar yet).
16. LASTLY I'll leave you with a story. Saturday at work, I was eating a box of Ritz crackers that we have here in the branch for everyone to share. I was munching out on them practically my whole shift, unitl I pulled one out and saw that there was a very small...but very noticeable dead BUG stuck to it. (Yes, that's right....an INSECT!) So what do I do?? I quickly tell Faith what just happend to me, I throw the cracker away....and then.........I put the box back in the cupboard! LOL!
