Dreams
I came across this really neat documentary.
Dreams fascinate me! I find them extremely mystifying while incredibly
intriguing. I love falling asleep at night so I can go on my next
adventure! Do you ever wake up wondering where that dream came from, and
why you had it?
On The Line
where nothing collides, I wait.
Face flushed, intestines pounding,
minutes and hours drag by.
Alarm cuts the steep silence.
Vertigo bells resound.
Handle to mouth,
this cradle rocks me.
I reach to speak through a thread,
grip your voice with mental muscles.
Flowers burst in my heart.
A laugh of two becomes one.
Not enough time.
Don’t hang up.
~Judith Pordon

A strange passion is moving in my head.
My heart has become a bird which searches in the sky.
Every part of me goes in different directions.
Is it really so that the one I love is everywhere ?
- Rumi

Dead Can Dance Concert
I had a date with Dead Can Dance, September 1st. I finally got to see them
live in concert!!!! I had front row seats! I've waited over 15 yrs! I
never thought I would have a chance. Oh
my goodness...the concert was so beautiful!!! The sound, the
look, the vibe, everything was perfect. I enjoyed every minute of it!
They sound exactly the same! I
got emotional with the older songs. It brought back some good
memories. Oh...let me tell you about something that pissed me off! I
got annoyed with some of the audience members. Towards the end of the
concert, some people got a bit noisy. They yelled between songs, and
wouldn't stay quiet. They were so rude! I wanted to punch them in the
head! haha! Lisa just ignored them, and smiled. I could tell Brendan got
annoyed. He kinda rushed the last song ( The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove).
At the end, he just walked off the stage. He didn't take a final bow
with the rest of the band. Aside from that, everything else went well. I'm so happy they decided to
reunite, and make a beautiful album! It was a wonderful night
of music. For once, I felt relaxed & at ease. It's been so long since I felt this way. My heart is happy. ♥

My Artwork
I love art so much! I had a blast creating my favorite celebrities. I love listening to music, when I draw. Of course, when I made my Dino drawings I put on his albums. Dino's voice always puts a smile on my face. I'm no professional, but I enjoy the process of creating art. I found several wallpaper images online for the backgrounds. I'm working on more pieces. Art brings joy to my life.

Dreaming My Dreams
All the things you said to me today,
Change my perspective in every way.
These things count to mean so much to me,
Into my faith, you and your baby.
It's out there. It's out there.
It's out there. If you want me I'll be here.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there's no other place,
That I'd lay down my face.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
It's out there. It's out there.
It's out there. If you want me I'll be here...
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there's no other place,
That I'd lay down my face.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
Dreaming my dreams with you.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there's no other place,
That I'd lay down my face.
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you.

Dino's Pizza
I took a road trip to South Carolina yesterday. I payed a visit to my little sister. I randomly came across this pizza place at Myrtle beach. Being
a Dean Martin fan, I had to eat some pizza in his honor. Too bad the
service was horrible & they had no Dino memorabilia! :-(

You Go To My Head
I love to daydream...
Lyrics
You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought
To my plea casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself: get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it can never be
You go to my head
With smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
Lyrics
You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought
To my plea casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself: get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it can never be
You go to my head
With smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
Dino is on my mind
Oh how I adore, Dean Martin!!! I'm in love with his voice! His music makes me want to dance/cuddle with someone special. I know my classy guy is out there somewhere....
