firefox rocks!

normally this post would be on LIVE JOURNAL...but LJ is screwed up again tonight...i've been trying an hour to get in...but so far no luck.

i've been participating in the SETI@HOME project for more than 8 months now....and today i joined a SETI team...a SETI team pools it's points and is ranked in the standings with other SETI teams...the more SETI work units a team has recorded...the higher the ranking...the team i joined is FIREFOX ROCKS...it's a team that was put together to help publicize the FIREFOX web browser...i converted to FIREFOX a little over 6 months ago and have found it to be a better browser...i'm on dial-up...so the added speed firefox gives me means alot...not to mention all the other user-friendly features FIREFOX has...so i'm here today to urge you to check out SETI@HOME...and maybe get involved with trying to find signs of extra-terrestrial intellegence...and i also urge you to download the FIREFOX browser...give it a try...i think you'll like it...to find out more go to www.getfirefox.com

start lovin' yourself tonight

if you leave you'll be a long time gone
better think it over
before you move on
reach out in the dark it's not too late
to try to get over
the lingering pain

(bridge)
can't do it all at once
in just one day
just baby steps
and maybe you'll get your way

(chorus)
no ones gonna do it for you
no one can get it right
so pick up all the pieces
and start lovin' yourself tonight
no ones gonna make you stand and fight
so do yourself a favor
and start lovin' yourself tonight

if you do this thing it will be done
no one can undo it
you're the only one
reach out for the light and feel it shine
and try to survive
how you feel tonight

(back to bridge...then chorus)

(it's gonna be) a long time now

scoff and laugh at me if you like
keep me out all the way
from your number
be that as it may, i just might
fool you all the way
my soul uncovered

(bridge)
there's a place for me among the restless souls
searching there for someone i used to know

(chorus)
and it's gonna be a long time now
'till we meet again my friend
it's gonna be a long, dark night
'till we see the end my friend
just gonna leave 'em alone
knock on doors
and nobody's home to see
a long goodbye from me

make me out a fool, that's alright
you're trying to pin me in
to some small corner
but i see through the dim of your light
and i'm shining now
i'm feelin' warmer

(bridge)
there's a place for me among the restless souls
searching there for someone i used to know

(chorus)
and it's gonna be a long time now
'till we meet again my friend
it's gonna be a long, dark night
'till we see the end my friend
just gonna leave 'em alone
knock on doors
and nobody's home to see
a long goodbye from me

if you haven't been gone

if you haven't been gone
you can never come home and leave again
if you haven't been gone
you will never know if it's wrong
you'll just live the day by day
bits and pieces of it pass away
but you'll never know
if you haven't been gone

if you haven't been gone
the changes will come in increments
if you haven't been gone
it's just another night until dawn
your world will slowly fade away
little details will be replaced
but you'll never know
if you haven't been gone

(bridge)

places you grew up
disappear without regret
for those who stayed those years
they havent noticed yet
changes take away
the misty film of yesterday
and leave you disilluision
progress in collusion

if you haven't been gone
the world goes on and doesn't care
if you haven't been gone
you think you're singing the same old song
but the special ground you walked
is under concrete around the block
but you'll never know
if you haven't been gone

yeah, you'll never know
if you haven't been gone

singin' to the moon 2

this is my new blog...i'll still keep the one i have on LJ...but here i intend to post songs and poems...things that go over on LJ like lead balloons...my intent here is just to try to reach people outside my own little world...with my own words...without having to worry about taking up too much space on my LJ friends, friends page...if you read this...i hope you come back again.
