BEDA

I've never been much of a writer but I want to try doing BEDA (blog every day in April). To get a fresh start with this goal I started this new blog. I would like to use this blog as a journal as well- so among other things I want to include memories, cute things my children do, and whatever else I think of.

The name and address of this blog comes from the song "Name" by the Goo Goo Dolls. It has for a long time been one of my favorite songs. The lyrics are wonderful and can mean different things to different people.

And even though the moment passed me by

I still can't turn away

Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose

Got tossed along the way

And letters that you never meant to send

Got lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans

And never knew their names

We don't belong to no one

That's a shame

But you could hide beside me

Maybe for a while

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell 'em your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose

The past is never far

Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?

Did you get to be a star?

And don't it make you sad to know that life

Is more than who we are

We grew up way too fast

And now there's nothing to believe

And reruns all become our history

A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell 'em your name

I won't tell em' your name

Oooh, oooh, oooh

I won't tell em' your name

Ow!

I think about you all the time

But I don't need the same

It's lonely where you are

Come back down

And I won't tell 'em your name

The song can be sympathetic, hopeful, and always helps me relax. I'm hoping that writing on this blog will also become a way to help me relax and organize my thoughts. It will take some practice but I hope to improve my writing along the way! Until next time!
