Hope is the call
That is ringing in my soul
But I can't pretend that I see
Much light in front of me
I wait to find You here
Hope is thrown away
I can't give up
I'll wait to see You here
I have gone astray
But You will always stay beside me
And Your rescue comes to find me
And You always stay
Love is the seed
That is buried underneath
The soil of the pain and of grief
But it grows into the tree
That I'll climb to see You here
Hope is thrown away
I can't give up
I'll wait to see You here
I have gone astray
But You will always stay beside me
And Your path is straight before me
You will always stay
You will always stay
Pride is the friend
Who betrays me in the end
Stealing joy, as it goes
Leaves me longing for a home
I'll wait to find You here
Though I'm thrown away
I can't give up
I'll wait to see You here
I have gone astray
And I believe I'll sing until You're here
Though I'm lost and afraid
I can't give up
I wait to find You here
I have gone astray
You will always stay beside me
And Your sun will rise above me
And Your light will shine upon me
And Your skies are clear above me
And You will always stay
You will always stay
I am really feeling this song lately.

Molly Freakin Ringwald
You know, sometimes I think I am so insightful and I think these little thoughts to myself and wonder why I waste my time processing claims when I could be doing much cooler things.
Well...as usual, I was brought back to reality last week.
Let me back up a minute. About two months ago I stumbled upon this song by Cary Brothers called Ride. AMAZING song. I knew who he was, as he's had songs in both Garden State and The Last Kiss. Obviously both star Zach Braff who obviously has great taste in music because yeah...have you HEARD those soundtracks? So, I hear Ride and I'm digging it so I go to his myspace and listen to a few other tracks and then go on and buy his album off iTunes. I love it when you get an album where you love every song on it, not just a select few. I freaking LOVE it when that happens.
One song in particular really stood out to me and has become one that I listen to constantly, and is currently my most listened to song on my iTunes. What song you ask? If You Were Here. I love it. I can't get enough of it.
I would say probably within the first week of having the album, I'm sitting at work, listening to my iPod, which I do pretty much everyday, and I'm listening to 'If You Were Here' when I suddenly realize why I love this song so much. It reminds me of an 80's movies and I immediately think to myself-I wonder if he wrote this thinking of one of those cheesy 80's movies with Molly Ringwald? When it gets to the bridge especially...the build up, then he and the girl start in on the harmony and I'm just washed away listening to this song. I am a big fan of anything 80's, especially the movies, especially of the John Hughes variety, which happen to star? Right...you're following along.
So the love for Cary Brothers just continued over these past two months, loving him, loving the music. I usually only listen to my iPod when Michelle, the other supervisor is there at work. After 5pm, I take over, as she leaves for the evening, and it doesn't feel very responsible to be listening with an earbud in (even though I have the volume very low) so I usually switch to my little boom-box.
The only decent radio station left in Atlanta (IMO) is Dave FM. Everyday at five, Sully does the Retro in the Metro (the poor man's Retroplex) where he plays 80's music. I only ever have my music on just loud enough for me to register it's there, in the background as a distraction. Well last week I'm at my desk, it's past five and I'm listening to the radio...Dave FM...retro in the metro. Right...so about 5:30 or so he starts playing this song by the Thompson Twins. I'm like "OH-this is from Sixteen Candles, I love that movie!" I recognize it because of the keyboard/snythesizer bit at the beginning. Here come the lyrics. Cue me having one of those lightbulb over the head moments. Those lyrics sound familiar?? Cut to me leaning in close to my radio so I can hear loud enough as the lyrics go on "and if you were here..." It's a freaking COVER song! The Cary Brothers version is a cover of the Thompson Twins original song which WAS IN A FREAKING MOLLY RINGWALD MOVIE!!!
I realize it took me a while to get here-go back and read the beginning of this rant.
I am such a dork, not cool at all, and will forever be a claims processor.
P.S. If any of you out there have been won over to Cary Brothers by this post, I have an extra ticket to his show in March...come with me!

This is THE year
Do people still make resolutions? I don't think I ever did really.
Anyways, did anyone else watch Oprah today? I have to applaud her for using her success and reach to bring attention to a serious problem a lot of folks are facing...obesity. I think the name of the episode was "This is the year" or something similar.
I was so touched by the stories people were sharing and lord knows I was shaking my head in understanding throughout the program.
I think this is going to be my year. There are things going on in my life that will hopefully ensure this, but nothing I care to get too deep into at the moment. I don't know why though, as Amber is about the only person who reads this I think and she knows what I'm on about. In fact I might start my future blogs with "Dear Amber." :-)
I am finding it rather difficult to type with painted nails. Why is this?
