Pillar - Rewind Lyrics

It seems just like yesterday was the first time that I heard You call my name
Since then, so much has changed
I'm still the same man that I was before
Knowing that I can be without anything scares me away from being alone
Now, that I know what's going on
I can look back and see You
And I made You wait, as I turned away

If I could rewind, watch all my life
Just pass me by, I could see You
If I could rewind, I'd take back the lies
And all of those times I hurt You

I don't know if I'll ever know exactly how much that I hurt You
Knowing that hurts me everyday
If I could rewind, I would take it away
And not make You wait, and I won't walk away

I wanna take back all those lies
I wanna take back all those times
I wanna show You with my life that I'm here for You

Taking a break

You know, in the world today everyone is always going, always doing something. Although, sometimes that's not the case. Every so often while driving along the PEI roads, usually going over the speed limit on your way into town or home from work you'll come across a car going about 70-80km and generally with a line of at least 5 frustrated drivers behind this car. Quickly you become one of these disgruntled drivers and find yourself passing the slower car as soon as possible, and as you pass this car you look right to see who it is that's driving so slowly. You notice that it's a small, elderly bald man and his white-haired wife. Without giving the whole incident another thought you continue on at a swift 100+km into town to continue on with your busy life. This happens quite a lot around here, and it's happened to me several times.

One thing i've noticed occasionally is that in your rush off to work or wherever it is you're going you fail to take notice of what it is that's happening, that couple you quickly passed on your way into town is simply enjoying the drive. They're not going anywhere in particular, contrary to all the many cars speeding by. I think that too often we get caught up in work, school, life to really just take a minute to pause. We're constantly moving, constantly busy with something and never take a walk in the park. We're always taking a walk through the park rather than experiencing the park. Sometimes you might feel like you're taking a walk through life rather than a walk in life, speeding on past to get from point A to point B and completely missing all that's between.

So next time you're rushing along to get somewhere, ask yourself "Am I taking a walk through life?"

Long time, No post

Phew, it's been a long couple of weeks. Craziness. I've been doing work at Wal-Mart, which has been pretty eventful itself. I did one day of training (because I'm so super and got it all in one day =P) and then on my first day of going solo on the cash I get about 50 billion problem customers. ok, the number's a bit exaggerated but you get the idea. I'd say my favorite was one lady who bought about 170 in stuff, paid using 2 gift cards, a credit card and a debit card. She got a recipt about a mile long and got $20 in cash-back. The problem was I didn't notice the cash-back, nor did she. about an hour later she returned to get her money. It was all fine, except that the CSM had to count my whole cash register, so it took like 20 mins. I felt so bad for the lady since she had to wait. I'd say my least favorite customer was this one guy who paid for about $30 in coin..... and then 23 in american money. That wasn't fun, and i'm pretty sure he was just doing it to be annoying. Today I had the lady with 50 cats come through my cash, she bought (i'm not even kidding) nearly $120 of CAT FOOD!!! Holy Frig that's a lot of cat food. Apparantly I've been getting all the trouble customers.

BTW I finished my pot of KD, it was sooo good. nothing beats KD right from the pot. Plates are so overrated when it comes to KD. My KD is way too good to grace a common plate with its extravegant presence. So I like KD ^^

Ok, so I should be heading to bed. We've got the conference tomorrow, so I've gotta go to bed. G'night all.
