Yea, its that time. It breaks my heart to say it but I must push away from the cookies, pies and cakes. Waaa waaa waaa! Y'all know how much I love my treats. However, things are fitting a lot more snug these days than I like. So, as of this week, I have moved on from my fatass phase and into my waist management phase. Monday I kicked started my program with a slim in 6 vid; Tuesday I tried Tae bo extreme; And Wednesday I got my butt kicked trying to do Wi.nso.r Pilates. I am taking a break from exercising today but I'll be back on the grind tomorrow. I think I'm going to shoot for losing 10lbs.
New pic (for those who haven't seen it on myspace)
Don't you love finding old stuff you've written? Sometimes the writing is so bad that you can't do anything but laugh. Other times, you rediscover a gem that touches your heart...again. Anyhoo, I was rummaging through some old files on my computer and found a song I had written many, many years ago. I knew an artist that was working an album and I had every intention to approach her about recording the song but somehow some way that conversation never transpired.
I present to you a snippet from the vault of Shawn, the former-kinda-sorta-song writer in his fantasy life. ;-)
Verse 1
You looked right into my eyes
I wanted to die
Said you were leaving me
Said you had to go (you)
Weren’t in love no more
Hoped we could still be friends
Change
Never thought I’d see the day
You would turn and walk away
I’m gonna wake up in your arms
Its just a dream you didn’t leave
But when the morning comes
I realize I’m all alone
And every day I sit and cry
Wishing you were by my side
Hook
Why’d you go away
Said you’d always stay
But you left me all alone oh baby
I’m so confused
I don’t know what to do
Since you left me all alone oh baby

I left you a comment on myspace bout the pic.
Yeah I agree reading stuff you wrote is something kinda special for the exact reasons you described :)
Nice teeth! LOL!
I liked the song. Fo sho fo sho.
I love seeing your pics, you can't post enough of them for me.
The song touched...who were you thinking about when you wrote it?
Shai Not many talents. Just a few. ;-)
Mwabi Oh I got you hooked? Hmmph! Wasn't me!
Creole Thanks! 3 years of braces. I like to show 'em off from time to time
Glad you like the song from my wannabe songwriter days.
Kathi I have no clue what I was thinking about when I wrote this song. I actually asked myself the same question as I was reading through the lyrics. I usually don't draw from personal experience when I write. I pull stuff from other people's lives or I'll daydream a scenario and go with it.
