Lyrics to my fave Carbon Leaf song, "Life Less Ordinary":
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
Live a life less sedentary
Live a life evolutionary with me
Well I hate to be a bother,
But it's you and there's no other, I do believe
You can call me naive but...
I know me very well (at least as far as I can tell)
And I know what I need
The night you came into my life
Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away...
I will keep tongue-tied next time
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
My face had said too much
Before our hands could even touch
To greet a 'hello'
(So much for going slow...)
A little later on that year
I told you that I loved you dear
What do you know?
This you weren't prepared to hear
I'm a saddened man, I'm a broken boy
I'm a toddler with a complex toy
I've fallen apart, since the ambush of your heart
The night you came into my life
Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me.
By the way, I do know why you stayed away
I will keep tongue-tied but...
Honey understand, honey understand
I won't make demands
Honey understand, honey understand
We could walk without a plan.
Honey understand (honey), honey understand
I won't rest in stone all alone
Honey understand, honey understand
I'm all ready to go
But you already know...
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me.
If I could name you in this song
Would it make you smile and sing along?
This is the goal: to get into your soul
If I could make you dance for joy
Could that be the second-chance decoy?
The bird-in-hand I would need
To help you understand?
The night you came into my life
well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away
I will keep tongue-tied next time
Who I'd like to meet: The man of my dreams. Scott Bakula, from my favorite TV show, Quantum Leap. Friends. New Kids on the Block (yes, I'd still love to meet them!) Update, I'll get to meet them in July!!!
If you'd like to see some great photos, and hear some killer tunes from some Rock Boat artists, check out this slideshow from TRB VIII!
My new record just came out this week on I-Tunes and CD Baby. I have included a video talking about the record, hope you enjoy it! Please leave us some feedback to let us know what you think! Thanks for your support.

PS: This album would make a great stocking stuffer ;)
You will be happy you are doing 5*. It is something that once you do it, you really don't need to do it again. Just savor every moment while you are with the guys! It goes to damn quickly!!!
Oh I hope NKOTB comes closer, but I doubt it. I don't live very close to any big cities... I will have to skip out too if the tickets stay as high as I am seeing them to be.
OMG, you went to see New Kids? What was it like? They are touring here in January but i'm afraid that if I go i'll somehow tarnish those memories from when I was 13 and cried over the fact that it really was Joey on that stage, in the flesh! hahaha!
Love the pics!!! I still can't believe you got to meet JOE...I think I would have said something really stupid or nothing at all LOL! Can you believe this after all our years of idolizing them? Are your seats good for the St. Louis concert too?
AHHH..you met Joe? OMG OMG!!! Was the concert great...I cannot wait until Nov. 10! Was Joe as good looking in person as we always knew he would be? Tell me tell me LOL!
I don't know about Julie, but I'm wearing jeans and probably this black sweater I have (it's not very heavy). I don't want to have to mess with a jacket, so that'll be good in case it is chilly that night.
12 days! I'm already selecting my outfits. Remind me that we should exchange cell #s so we can reach each other on Saturday and plan where to meet, etc.
gym going good, I'm not as tired anymore but I started school yesterday and I think math is going to kick my butt this year LOL! I can't wait to see Joe soon....aaaughhh!
