I hurt one of my friend's feelings this week. I am, with ALL my heart, sorry!
**
Here I made a blog entry about not taking the people you love for granted, and I did exactly the opposite. A friend of mine needed me this week. I was so wrapped up in my own shit that I didn't even think to make a phone call. This friend, because he is patient and sweet and loves me, has forgiven me. I still feel like shit though.
**
Until this week, I had no New Year's resolution. After this week, it will be this. This year I will work very hard to not take the people that I love for granted.

********************
Sooo, did I mention that Melissa Etheridge is fucking awesome. Just a sample of some of her lyrics for your viewing pleasure:

Come and be one in the motion
A desire they cannot comprehend, Never to question again
For I am your passion, your promise, your end
Oh yes I am
- Yes I Am
**
With fever I persist
The rages of your kiss, My reckless heart in fist
And I cannot resist
I swear I never had it like this
Forbidden yet I cannot resist
- Resist
**
Sometimes I feel like an innocent one
To deserve this fate what I have I ever done
I know that I made all the rules
But time can even change the hopeless ways of fools
-Angels
**
The night is as deep as the sea
And my heart is disobeying me
Raging thoughts all soothed beneath your hand
Looking in your eyes I think I understand
-No Guarantee
**
A voice from behind calls up anger and fear
We can silence that scream it's simple and clear
Nothing must die only if failed to mend
-Keep It Precious
