I know my love is alive

As Rick has his book out "LATE LATE AT NIGHT", I've been thinking more and more about his influence on this little soul.

I know my love is alive..................

I sure picked a bad time

To be in love...I'm in love...eo

I love Rick Springfield

When other men fail...
When they do what they will...
When it makes me feel ill...

I love Rick Springfield.

He makes me feel great
Never makes a mistake
I will never forsake...

I love Rick Springfield.

He never confuses.
He never abuses
Always amuses.

I love Rick Springfield.


He always is there...
to love and to share
and seems like he cares...

I love Rick Springfield.

He's heart and he's soul
there is no control
I'd give him my soul

I love Rick Springfield.

Other men let me down.
Other men are like clowns
Other men aren't profound.

I love Rick Springfield.

I've been used and denied.
I've been pushed aside.
I've been taken for a ride.

I need Rick Springfield.

If he would be my man
I'm his number one fan
I would do all I can

To be with Rick Springfield.

I know his married and such
But, that doesn't mean that much
At least not to us in the lurch...

Where's Rick Springfield?

This man is my dream.
I know he's probably not what he seems
Still it's better than real...

Where's Rick Springfield.

He's my love and my life
I will never be his wife
I just want a good time..

With Rick Springfield.

I just want one last time

With Rick Springfield.

He's the dream I have each night....

I love Rick Springfield...

I know my love is alive

I love when that look comes in your eyes...when we're all alone.
And it's much too late...for friends to come calling.
I'll disconnect the phone.

And I put on the radio
And I take her and I talk real slow
And I hold her tight...
And soon I'm dancing in the night...

Inside Sylvia...
Oh Sylvia
Yeah, Sylvia

I know my love is alive...
Inside Sylvia
Oh Sylvia
Yeah Sylvia

Ohhhhhh.....


Sometimes you get so crazy
And I know it's all in your mind
And right in the middle of the night...
You see just what I need.
And they say that love is blind.

And I hold you til the feelings come.
But, sometimes when the loving's done.
I see a scared little girl...afraid of the woman...

Inside Sylvia
Oh Sylvia
Yeah...Syvia

I know my love is alive
Inside Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia
Yeah...Sylvia

Ohhhh....

Though the world can rage and storm
There's still one hollow where I'm safe and warm...

It's when I'm inside Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia
Yeah...Sylvia


Oh...

Inside Syliva
Yeah...Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia


Ahhhh...

Inside Sylvia
Yeah..Sylvia
Ahhh...Sylvia

I know my love is alive...
Inside Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia
Ah...Sylvia

Ohhhh...

Inside Sylvia...
Ah...Sylvia
Oh..Sylvia

I know my love is alive...
Inside Sylvia
Ah Sylvia
Oh...Sylvia


ahhhhhh....

Google roogles

Ok...I just googled myself and up comes my blogs. There for all eternity to see...

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? I guess not if you blog about it.

Is life interesting? I think the reason I loved LA so much is because your life could mean something. I feel like no ones' lives mean anything in Colorado. I mean.... they mean things to their loved ones and to the people they know... but, to mean something to the world.... to life, to memories, to google.... you would have to be someone/something in LA.

I just feel that way...

No one is perfect

I have been following the Tiger Woods fiasco with great interest. How can a person not get involved in these lives...these lives of privilege and luxury, without some voyeuristic interest? And to see them make mistakes...well that makes our lives look better, doesn't it?

I appreciated the statement he made, "I'm human and I'm not perfect". Really? But we do expect so much more out of our idols, our celebrities, those in the limelight. They are role models, no matter what Charles Barkley says! (Remember his "I am not a role model" Nike commercial?) But alas, they are role models to many of us, and especially to our children. We do expect more from them whether they like it or not. Still, they are only human.

I recently had a rather sad awakening to this realization myself...as I had to endure seeing my idol, Rick Springfield, take on a very naughty (obscene) role on a show called "Californication". This is a series on Showtime primarily about sex, drugs and moral depravity. Unfortunately, Rick's character that he played (loosely based on himself, is how he has explained it) had a scene that I would deem soft-core porn (he calls it 'tasteful nudity' on his website!). Ok, so maybe I'm a prude...or maybe I'm just decent. Or maybe he let me down.

Throughout his career, Rick had maintained a certain level of decorum...only doing roles on TV (regular TV, so no vulgarity). Once you 'graduate' to cable TV or movies, the rules change. And maybe he saw it as a way to prove he was a legit and vital actor. I have no idea why he did it. But, to me it just proved that indeed, he is only human. We are all human...and we all make mistakes in our lives with our choices, our actions, our behavior.

I forgive him, as we must always forgive. We must always remember Jesus (whom I believe is the one and ONLY perfect person) teaching this in His prayer..."forgive those that trespass against us". So please forgive me my trespasses, as I am far from perfect! I have managed to alienate many people in my life since returning to Colorado...and even some in LA. I'm not sure why, but I do know that I do not mean to do it. I also know that not everyone is always going to like you or understand your choices or your actions or your behavior. But we are all just looking for that unconditional love and understanding, even though we err occasionally (constantly?)!

My own mother has chosen to be distant from me...not even calling or inviting me to a Thanksgiving family dinner. I know that all families have issues, but it is sad...especially during the holidays. I moved home to be close to family, and within 12 years I have managed to have many of them not speak to me!

Rick, myself, my mother, our president, the Pope...not one of us is perfect! But we must forgive and forget. I think I can do that...but maybe others do not have that capability. I forgive them for that too.

PS - And on that 'no one is perfect' subject...I realize NOW that my last post has a typo in it! I am usually so uber anal about proofing...and yet, I missed it. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!! ;)
