DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR GOING TO....

Mrs. S (Jen) as we so "used" to call you.
I dedicate this Blog to you
.

I was around 5th grade and this song became a hit. It kicked but since it knocked off Barry Manailow and "I Write the Songs" so since at the age of what 10 I knew I had to listen in. It had to be a "winner". Little did I know that not only the song would mean so much but even the movie as many times as I have seen it (even tho it has been a while) I am still impacted by it and I wanted to just let you get a taste of it.


Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is
showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?

Do you get
what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you
there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

Once we were standing
still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds


You
know how I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions
That you once asked of me

Chorus: * Do you know...?

Now
looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip
through our hands

Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How
sad the answers
To those questions can be?

Chorus: * Do you know...?


So the Tagline to the Movie - which of course I could not see at the age of what 10 was:
"Success is nothing without someone you love to share it with"
And I didn't understand really what the song meant except that I was the one that made MY DREAMS and I was the one that had to keep up on my dreams and I was the one that had to answer to those dreams. and answer those questions. Do I know where I am going to!! Do I like the things that life is showing me!! You know me I'd be singing it to you now!! Hey maybe I am speaking to me, Torrey, my sister-in-law - my neighbors my friends - we all should know where we are going!! In the movie which I finally did see when it was on TV she says "Your only young once, you can be immature forever". Nope, If I live with that, can't work doesn't make my dream work better either so the movie isn't perfect either.
Just wanted you to know your special enough for me that you now have a a Micki Blog dedicated to YOU!! Now remember the disclaimer on my profile nothing is related to nothing and nothing means nothing etc... take my advice or don't won't mean a hill of beans - lol

Now enjoy a little bit of Diana singing the song... just push the arrow

WOOHOO!!! A blog for me??? This was awesome, and to answer the question, NO, I don't know where I'm going to yet, the detailer is being extremely difficult. Hopefully it will all be resolved soon. I loved this blog, it made me smile from ear to ear. Cheers my friend and thank you for being awesome!

Well - pass it on to your friends - they don't know where they are going either - maybe they will learn something to. the quote "When you look behind you there's no open door" means your not leaving anything open duh! no schooling etc.... all you have to do is just e-mail it to them directly with the little e-mail at the bottom of each blog or send them to my blog. Hey the worst thing they could do is learn to spell badly or pick up some old song and see some cute kids :) AND YOU DESERVED THIS! AND this song fit you!! Don't let the plans that you planned for yourself slip away!! ok!! By the way when the movie does come out on DVD it is a classic and it is a must see!

I go back to college in 8 days to finish my LAST 3 CLASSES!!! WOOHOO!!! I will leave doors open everywhere, the only doors I close behind me are the bad ones. In the words of Sheryl Crow "Every day is a winding road" and with that road I can find many new things. After I am finished with my Bachelor's, I begin working for my OCS package. I have plans and dreams, they've evolved over time and priorities have shifted, but the big picture remains the same, to be an officer. I also want babies. So, there ya have it. HEHEHEHEHEHEHE

...and who is mrs. s?

micki said...

are you daft? it is who I dedicated this portion of my blog to. Now tell me some things about you. Do you need some lifting up in the spirits. All I know is nothing. You remain as blank as the spammer that wants to get me a job. You know more about me and Mrs. S than I know about you. We are not on equal ground. Maybe she is an innervoice I made up of myself. Maybe she doesn't is not reality at all. Have you even read my disclaimer. Many things to ponder..... which leads to my next blog.....
