"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV)
are you there god? it's me, jeannette. and no, i don't want to increase my bust (judy blume humor). *giggles* can i go back to being the crazy, silly, dancing netties that i used to be?? cause i'm so over this other person i've been. :)

Do you want to change your mind?
You can always change your mind
You and I can quit this scene
Build a town and then secede
Like an Adam and an Eve (manifest destiny, guster)
cheechoo or teemu??
i think we all know the answer to this question. :)

Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Why are we here and where do we go
And how come it's so hard
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing
It's always better when we're together (better together, jack johnson)
so the guy at u.s. customs was right. he told me that whatever you're doing at midnight of new year's eve is what you'll be doing the next year. i wish i had been doing something fun rather than fretting.
i've decided that there's only so much worrying you can do, and there are some things you really have to let go of and let happen on their own. it's hard to feel that you're not in control, but it's the only way to *live* your life. and everyone knows there's nothing more i love then life. i haven't had as much time to take in the little things, like slurpees, sunsets, and flowers. i wonder how i've been functioning lately. *blah*

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow

And the dreams that you dare to dream

For you I would crawl
Through the darkest dungeon
Climb a castle wall
If you're my Rapunzel
You let your hair down
Right in through your window
Good, they locked the door

I think the world of you
All of my heart I do
Blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
I give my world to you
To you I will be true (rapunzel, dave matthews band)

Baby, It's alright
Stop your cryin' now (baby, dave matthews)
as everyone knows, the sharks didn't make it past the oilers last night. it seems silly, but it's a bit depressing as a fan when your team has made the playoffs and then loses. i guess it's because of the time you put into watching games, cheering players, looking up stats, etc. i'm actually wearing my jersey today to help me feel good about the season. the sharks played very well this year and i'm proud of the effort of every player put into each game. it's just hard knowing there won't be a sharks game to listen to or watch for the next few months!!
also, i heard drew will be leaving the broadcast booth to return home to be with his family. damn!! i'm pretty sad about this, especially since he always had the balls to talk about how the refs sucked if they really were. there will be no other color commentator to fill your shoes, drew. thank your family for letting us "borrow" you for the last few years. it's been a great run.
siiiiiiiiiiiigh.
other than that, life is good right now!! i'm working hard and loving life. peace out, kiddies!! :)

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky (the blower's daughter, damien rice)
it's funny to me that i have so many things to say and such an eloquent way of stating what it is that i want to say, but it just sits there in my brain. all i really can do is feel shocked and say nothing.
there are two sides to every story and tonight, i didn't get to tell mine.

thank you, sjsharks.com, for this fantastic follow-up. they heard me singing!! :)
i cannot believe the coverage this thing is getting. there was an "article" on the front page of yahoo! which was really just two paragraphs about sharks fans booing. and it included a sentence about how nobody in edmonton had ever booed before, which was funny because they had. why would you include that in the "article"?? also, it was clear it was thrown together in two seconds because there was no author and nobody was claiming ownership to it, like ap, reuters, etc.
what's even odder is that the alleged reason why canadian fans were booing during the u.s. national anthem is because someone in the a/v crew at their place put a picture of joe thornton on the screen as they were singing. first of all, he's canadian, and second of all, he's from another team. of course you're going to get boos. one american dollar says that guy's been fired.
but yes, big props to the article above. it's very mature and i hope lets the rest of the hockey world know that a few assholes blew it, not dedicated sharkies fans. LET'S GO SHARKS!!

this message does not go out to all sharks fans, but a small chunk of them at the game last night.
first, never, ever boo for the opposing team's national anthem. i do not care that edmonton did it at their last home game. do not stoop to their level. did you forget that a majority of the players on the sharks are FROM CANADA?? yeah, it's true. how do you think they feel when you're booing THEIR national anthem?? lame. for the record, i starting singing, "o canada" and people around me followed because they were embarassed for the booing.
second, you may NOT call yourself a sharks fan if you left the game early last night. you may NEVER call yourself a hockey fan if you were one of the ones that got up IN THE MIDDLE OF PLAY and blocked my view. i don't care if the sharks are losing by 10, i'm staying. that does not mean that you may obstruct my view because you're a fairweather fan who drinks 7 beers a game and probably doesn't know what a two line pass is. it's people like you that give fans a bad name, and you should not be allowed back into hp pavillion.
all right...deep breath. hee hee!! just a little rant...i'm over it. sort of. :)

Behind all of your tears
There's a smile
There's a smile
Behind all of the rain
There's a sunshine
For miles and miles
Oh- Everything
Everything
You mean everything
You mean everything
Everything to me
Everything to me
The colors of your garden
They're yellow, blue and green
And the sound of your sweet voice
It's better than all my dreams
Oh- Everything
Everything
You mean everything
You mean everything
Everything to me
Everything to me
Your my first thought in the morning
When I rise
Oh- when I rise
You're my last thought in the evening
When I rest my head at night
Oh- Everything
Everything
You mean everything
You mean everything
Everything to me
Everything to me
Oh- Everything
Everything
You mean everything
You mean everything
Everything to me
Everything to me
Everything to me
Everything to me (everything, ben harper)
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so?
You are a child of God, small games do not work in this world. For those around us to feel peace, it is not example to make ourselves small. We were born to express the glory of God that lives in us. It is not in some of us, it is in all of us. While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others."
- Marianne Williamson in Return to Love: Reflections on a Course in Miracles
and on a happy note, there is a wave of cool light shining brightly through my window right now. i love the full moon and that it's warm inside, but i can feel the gentle breeze flow through my window. all of that gives me butterflies in my belly. sigh. 'night!! :)

i strongly dislike the cbc announcers for the following reasons:
*not knowing how to pronounce last names of sharks players.
*getting sharks players confused.
*saying bullshit things like, "wow, roloson had total confidence in that last play" although he never touched the puck since he couldn't find it.
*replaying edmonton shots over and over and giving the sharks no credit when they shoot an amazing shot.
*talking shit about san jose's ice just because it's in california. san jose has good ice. there are no bad bounces and it's not soft.
*they're big pussies on the air. anytime a penalty is not called, they don't review it, or even talk about it. for either team.
randy and drew, i will pay you and cook for you if you come over for the next game so i can hear your sweet voices and more of an un-biased opinion.
edmonton fans at the game...sucks to be you. the coolest song they've played at your arena is cotton-eyed joe?? a laugh and a freakin half.
all right...back to the game. GOOOO SHARKS!!

hey kiddies, are you loving this weather?? it's so beautiful and sunny and warm. it's really hard to sit here in the office when all i want to do is go for a walk and take a nap under a tree. :)
i had a super fun time at the a's game on saturday. sometimes, i tend to feel a little sad when not everyone i invite for my usual birthday bash can come out. but seriously, 30 people to talk to during an a's game?? i can't do it!! even though there were only a few, i had so much fun cheering the a's on. and really, everyone who can't come pretty much promised to take me out to dinner at some point. awww yeah!! back to the game...i was pumped that an error on tampa bay in the ninth gave them a win. let's go oakland!!
the sharks game on monday was incredible!! i'm still so happy that i was lucky enough to get a ticket for the game. :) i think the loudest i've ever heard the tank was during this play. you can almost see teesta and i!! we were waving our teal pom poms like crazy and screaming!! i also had fun with the cheechoo train whistle. sometimes when he was open, i'd blow it, so joe would know he could pass it to him. he didn't always listen to me, though. hee hee!! it's okay because the sharks got a win, and that's all that matters.
tonight is game 3, and i'm hoping they can play their hearts out!! sweep for sj, horray!! :) i'm really hoping the sharks can win tonight and friday's game so they can be well rested for the next series. the much needed rest seems to have helped out for these games so far!!
besides lovin the bay area sports, not too much else is new with me. i freakin finally read the da vinci code. it's frustrating to some extent because the author takes a lot of things for granted, and likes to twist certain aspects of history and christianity. also, three times in his book, he talks about how an apple is what eve ate in the garden of eden. IT'S A FRUIT, you dummy. do your research. he's all excited about misconceptions by the church, and here we go with another assumption. anyway, that aside, i'm happy i read it in time for the movie release. i for some reason have been excited to see that for some time. but i'm not sure i pictured tom hanks as langdon. oh well.
my daddy's birthday was last night and he bought himself a cool leather massage chair. i got to hop in it last night but couldn't stand it for too long. it totally tickles me when it massages my back!! eeeeek!! hee hee!! i'm good with a regular recliner any day.
well, that's all in my silly world. peace!!

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love,
’cause if summer is here,
I’m still waiting there (waiting in vain, bob marley)
well happy freakin birthday to me!! i had such a fun day yesterday. possibly the best birthday evah?? oooooh yeah!!
it wasn't as relaxed as last year since i did have to go into work, but i had a great time nonetheless. my morning started with some great news regarding hockey. erik ended up getting two tickets for the second sharks game for the next round of the playoffs!! since he's super nice, he let me have one of the tickets!! i was really happy and trying not to cry happy tears and bounce at work. :) i had tried to get some, but they were seriously gone in .5 seconds. also, he told me that cheech would be throwing the first pitch at the a's game. horray!!
work was pretty good, although i spent way the eff too long on these reports. poor hilary was being very patient and reviewing everything to see where this mistake was, and for the life of us, could not figure it out. (btw, we got it all solved this morning...and i felt like a retard for not knowing a piece to the puzzle that would have saved both of us tons of time.) matt took us out to lunch and i was super happy that it was chevy's. that was my place to go back in jr high and high school for birthday dinners. i totally forgot until i saw the waiters running around with desserts for other birthday peeps and giant sombreroes.
after work, i was just rockin out to my iPod on BART and having to hold myself back when we stopped at the coliseum station. i totally wanted to hop out and buy a ticket so i could scream for cheechoo as he threw out the first pitch. but, i would be missing my special birthday dinner, and i was wearing a shirt, skirt, and flip flops. i would have frozen for sure!!
i got home and someone my mom helps tutor after school was there with some presents for me. i felt so bad because i know she must have saved up money for a while to get them for me!! eeeeeekkk!! after that, pizza was delivered and i was such a happy camper. my own little cheese pizza!! no picking off meat or other things i don't want to eat!! hahahahahah!! i had about a million calls with happy birthday songs, well wishes, cards, text messages, emails...holy cow. i fit a root-beer float in and then opened up a trillion presents.
i feel totally spoiled that i turned 26 and my parents still bought me so much!! i got some cute clothes, money (there's a first from my 'rents!!), a super fun purse, iPod/cell case, sharks playoff ticket, of course the usual williams/sonoma fun cookbook, w&s gift card...it was never ending!! erik got me a super cute shirt which reminds me of the cuppiecakes that i make; FUNFETTI!! ahhhhh, i love it!! it was then about 9, and i was dying to go to bed. teesta came over with flowers for me (omg, i love flowers on my birthday!!) and a beautiful scarf/shawl and totally fun bracelets.
i don't know how i forgot to mention this earlier, but: then, my mommy came out with a super cute rainbow ice cream cake!! AND...she put a little sharks zamboni on it that she found upstairs!! what's hilarious is that i almost brought the zamboni to work with me that day!! i picked it up, then got distracted and put it down. it has been sitting upstairs for the past 4 years, doing nothing, and it got a lot of action on my birthday!! horray for ice cream cake!!
i was the most happy knowing that i had a sharks ticket for monday, though. that totally got me through my day and made me skip on the way to the bus. i must have looked like the craziest little girl, but i know i was the happiest little girl. :)
and for your moment of zen...something that i missed out on last night. they showed it in the middle of the 4th inning on tv, and i was watching alias at the time. props to kae for finding it online for me.
and i thought i was the happiest person alive!!
