Friday, 23 December 05 :: all there is.

so, yesterday found me singing this song at the top of my lungs in my car as i was sitting on the cusp of a big decision, one that i had already made, one that i knew sat firmly in my heart, one that i knew would cause me to panic at times, but also one that i know will, in the end, be the right decision for these moments. i'm sure to continue to refer back to these words. luckily its good dancing music.

    All there is, by Rebecca Riots

    Dancing alone in my living room, dancing alone since I was a kid, don’t think I’m practicing for dancing with someone, I’m just doin’ what I always did, you know I do the best I can to be honest and decent and kind, but some people come around only once then I leave them behind..

    These things we do, these words we say, these decisions we make, every moment of every day, this is all there is, we’re not rehearsing for anything, this is all there is……

    Wake up every morning, fighting this demon of fog, imagine I got all the time in the world, but I may not have very long, have I said all I need to say, can I find the strength to move past fear and can I forgive myself when I screw up again and again and again

    These things we do, these words we say, these decisions we make, every moment of every day, this is all there is, we’re not rehearsing for anything, this is all there is……

    Dancin’ alone in my living room, damn I wish I was dancing with you, I’m not rehearsing, I’m just living, sometimes I dream too.. well I want to remember that hey! This day’s a one shot deal, gonna go out there and do what I want to, yeah, go out and there and say what I feel

    These things we do, these words we say, these decisions we make, every moment of every day, this is all there is, we’re not rehearsing for anything, this is all there is……

    These things we do, these words we say, these decisions we make, every moment of every day, this is all there is, we’re not rehearsing for anything, this is all there is……

    This is all there is.. we’re not rehearsing for anything.. this is all there is, this is all there is!

ps. i'm no longer working at my paid job anymore. instead i've decided to volunteer devote many hours a week to a small non-profit that works with low income teens. pretty cool, eh?

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
