The Climb
A small boy heard the mountain speak,
"There are secrets on my highest peak;
but beware, my boy, the passing of time.
Wait not too long to start the climb."

So quickly come and go the years,
and a young man stands below - with fears.
"Come on - come on," the mountain cussed.
"Time presses on - on, climb you must."

Now he's busied in middle-aged prime,
and maybe tomorrow he'll take the climb.
Now is too soon - it's raining today;
Gone all gone - years are eaten away.

An old man looks up - still feeling the lure.
Yet, he'll suffer the pain - not climb for the cure.
The hair is white - the step is slow.
And it's safer and warmer to stay here below.

So all too soon the secrets are buried,
along with him and regrets he carried.
And it's not for loss of secrets he'd cried,
But rather because he'd never tried.
-Phyllis Trussier

I am having so much fun watching the World Cup! I'm one of the crazy people watching games at 2 and 5 in the morning, and I'm having a ball! I can't even count the number of people who would be shocked to find me actually seeking out sports news shows on ESPN! But the simple fact is, I've always liked soccer. I used to play, surprise, surprise, so do all of my siblings. And the US is doing just fantastic, and they're so much fun to watch! Waiting patiently for the next game - have to tape US vs. Germany as I'll be at Hershey Park, but not before getting up to watch England play!

Hmm, Emode has this to say...
Stop the clock! Your inner superpower is TIMETRAVEL! Your answers show a keen sense of insight for all the mysteries of time. Whether you enjoy reminiscing about the past or find yourself lost in thoughts of the future, your energies definitely point away from the present. Maybe you're mere seconds ahead or behind the rest of us, but you could also be days or even years out of sync. Your unique position in time and space gives you a wider perspective on daily events and makes you an especially wise person. You're probably a great planner. And since time is yours to play with, it's almost a given that you manage it well. If you haven't yet taken a trip through the fourth dimension, you're in for the ride of your life. Don't delay! Visit the future. Fix the past. And when you come across a very special moment, make it last as long as you like.

Maybe that's what makes my stealth possible??!

Well, lovely way to start a week. My planned road trip for this summer, the one I was so excited about, is now off. My cousin can't make it. I won't go into anything more, because really, noboby cares about me complaining. I have a request to make though. I still plan to do SOMETHING this summer, to go SOMEWHERE. So please, anybody, if you could spare a week or two this summer, wouldn't mind spending them with me, and have any ideas, let me know. I'm up for suggestions. I've got to get out of here!

I had a dream Friday night about a guy from high school. Well, not just a guy really, my guy, my one that got away I guess. We never actually dated, oddly enough, but there was that unexplainable "thing" between us, that always drew us together. I know it sounds corny and I couldn't describe it but we both knew it was there and I never got it with anyone else, even now. I've only seen him once, about 4 years ago, since high school graduation. I met him when we were in sixth grade.

I think of him often and wonder where he is and what he's doing (I sound like a queer old pop song now, don't I?). I'd love to see him again, I miss him. Some people we just never forget, you know. I'm a firm believer that there is someone out there for each of us, maybe even a few someones, but I'm also in pure wonderment when people talk about finding that one special person and how they just knew it, they could feel it. How?

I'm not saying that this guy was my "one," but just maybe he was. There was definitely "something" that I felt with him and only him. I wonder what prompted the dream. Maybe I'll meet him again sometime. I hope so.
