14 Years
And hey, we're doing a lot better than whichever member of Guns N Roses wrote this romantic little ditty. Profanity alert on that one, btw. It is Guns'N'Roses, after all.
Chris is home and we're going to celebrate our marriedness with lunch at a granola restaurant. Not that they serve meals made entirely of granola! They're just local/seasonal/organic & stuff. Can't wait.
Just realized I started a post about the tournament, and never finished it. Summary: Justin got bronze in sparring, Daniel got silver in sparring and bronze in patterns, I got silver in sparring and bronze in patterns, and Chris got gold in sparring and bronze in patterns. Medals don't necessarily reflect awesomeness though; the kids were competing against 10-15 or so kids, Chris' age group had around eight guys, and mine had four for patterns and three for sparring, so the shiny metal is merely an award for not coming in dead last ;)
Difficult day, though. I think the quote goes something like, "To be a parent is to forever have your heart go walking around outside your body." And although the day ended with both kids pretty happy overall, it contained some total heartbreak too.
OK, off to wake up Chris and start our day :)
14 Years, by Guns'N'Roses
I try and feel the sunshine
You bring the rain
You try and hold me down
With your complaints
You cry and moan and complain
You whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow
The touch you bring
You just don't step inside to
14 years
So hard to keep my own head...
That's what I say
You know...I've been the beggar...
I've played the thief
I was the dog...they all tried to beat
But it's been
14 years of silence
It's been
14 years of pain
It's been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again
Your stupid girlfriends tell you
That I'm to blame
Well they're all used-up has-beens
Out of the game
This time I'll have the last word
You hear what I say
I tried to see it your way
It won't work today
You just don't step inside to
14 years
So hard to keep my own head...
That's what I say
You know...I've been the dealer...
Hangin' on your street
I was the dog...they all tried to beat
But it's been
14 years of silence
It's been
14 years of pain
It's been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again
Bullshit and contemplation
Gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth
What would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern
It's time to play
These last 4 years of madness
Sure put me straight
Don't get back 14 years
In just one day
So hard to keep my own head
Just go away
You know...just like a hooker she said
Nothin's for free
Oh I tried to see it your way
I tried to see it your way
Hear song
