Changes
-David Bowie

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell t hem to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

________________________Live Journal Friends________________________

I think one word that describes me, and my life for the last 7 months is 'change'. On almost all levels of my life there have been major changes. Change is scary and exciting. Change is full of tears and laughter. Change is often life altering.

As with my everyday life, I am making some changes here. I am no longer happy to have a friends list that is 75% dormant. There is something uncomfortable about having people who you have allowed a look into your life, allowed to see who and what you are, just sit there in silence.

My life is important to me. My words have meaning as do each and everyone of your words. We all write them here, in this format to try and open up, work through stuff, or just share with others. I think if you have a blog an you leave it open to comments, there is some need to 'interact' with other's. I know for me that is very important. I want to get to know new people, learn and grow from their lives, thoughts, opinions etc.

For this reason, I am no longer happy to have people that lurk in the shadows, never saying a word. If I friended you, it was because I wanted to get to know you and I was interested in hearing your voice, in your own journal and in mine. This is not meat to be a whinge, it is just how I feel. I don't need people to comment all the time, but once in awhile we should all touch bases/connect with those we found enough interest in to let them into our personal place.

So, in the spirit of change, my friends list has been modified. Lovely new faces will be about. Welcome all, excited to get to know you. And farewells to those that have long since been MIA, or show no interest and therefore won't even realise they have been cut. I try and stay around 100 users on my list as I don't feel I could keep up and be a good live journal friend if I had too many more. To keep the balance I trim. I have lots of names on my list for sentimental reasons, names that haven't posted in years letting go was not easy but necessary.

In regards to the friending and unfriending drama - really, you know, not a big deal. I don't always announce when I am making changes to my list, for me that feels overly dramatic. I have made this post only because there are so many new faces and so many old one's let go. My existing friends deserve to be introduced to the fact that there will be new people joining the table. Feel free to unfriend me anytime if you are not feeling it. I will not be offended and I don't need warning. We all must be true to our own paths. Sometimes what at first feels like it might be a good fit isn't. It takes awhile to truly get to know people on any level in this forum. And with all the 'friends only' journals, often you have to friend first before knowing for sure. So in the spirit of freewill and being true to self, enjoy, and if you don't cut me loose.

I wish everyone well, new and old, here and gone. Life is what you make it, enjoy!

What has been some the best treasure you found in a geocache?

What has been some of the most unique?

OUR TOTALS----6 1/2 tons of garbage and 100 tires!!

Awesome job! And again THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered their time!

I found it because the photo of the quilt was one of the geocaching.com banners.

Ok ... I admit it ... I was, to say the least, a bit leery when I first heard what the name of the new cd would be ... then after hearing Tim McGraw helped write Nine Lives ... yeah ... weirded out would be a good description ... but now ...

It's out and I must say ... it's brilliant! Such anticipation on the 29th ... I tried to get K to stop at Walmart before work ... so what if we were a little late ... but he said he'd take a break from work & run over there, but *that* never happened ... so we had to wait till after work ... and my stars ... it seemed like the frellin' day would NEVER end! We got the cd (and something for dinner) ... soon as we got in the car, we ripped off the plastic wrap and shoved it in the player ... We'd already heard Nine Lives on myspace and were anxious to hear more. From the moment Go began, I was totally hooked ... it brought back memories of the first time I heard Slang. The next day, I got to listen to it all day ... since I was on my own in the office, I just played it over and over since there was no one to gripe about it! A couple of the TM's came in, listened a bit, and one commented that it just didn't sound like DL ... he was more into the Pyromania & Hysteria days ... grow up, man! As much as I love ALL of DL's stuff, the early stuff as well as the new stuff, I like the harder edge we're getting here. Well ... 'cept for one song that will have to grow on me.

And now I see they're offering ring tones ... guess it's time to replace Faster Car!
