Ahem...

My vacation is ending soon.

And randomly, I wonder if my like for Dragonette is at all strange. Whatever. This song makes me warm and fuzzy. Yep.

Sometimes the sun shines on us - Sometimes the rain goes and a rainbow’s all that’s left - We got lucky, hey, didn’t we, baby?

‘Cause I like your head on my shoulder - I like the way you smile, the way you smile - We both think the weather’s getting better - So let’s get lucky, let’s go all the way

I found you seaside in the fog - I hadn’t tried a lot of looking for anything at all - The cloud cover of fog - All the hearts I'm gonna' love in the morning

The weatherman says it’s wet and cloudy - Stay indoors, sit out the storm - It looks like this might be a quickie - Hey handsome, we got it good - Hey mister, we gone and done it - Just because we could - Because it’s cloudy out there - Staying in like we should

The value in questions...

She said she didn't think she could believe in God anymore. How could she? It makes perfect sense. He was 19. Young and beautiful. Ripped from the world almost within a blink of an eye.

But does it really have anything to do with the powers that be? Oh, I have my doubts, my issues, my beliefs. This was not the time.

She needed something else. Something I tried desperately to provide. I am a poor substitute for my mother.

I walked through the Vatican. I didn't have a holy experience. I gaped at the grandeur, the beauty and thought about the irony in Michaelangelo's bitterness. I actually felt closer to my grandmother than I did to God.

If the events of the last week and a bit have taught me anything it is that we only live once. Death is inevitable and in the end the moment is what matters. Sort of....

Carry me away. I need your strength to get me through this. Slowly walk away, To breathe again....
