Rejected Angel?

AUBRI

And Aubri was her name,

A not so very ordinary girl or name.

But who's to blame?

For the love that wouldn't bloom

For the hearts that never played in tune.

Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,

Take away the hearts that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.

And Aubri was her name.

We tripped the light and danced together to the moon,

But where were they.

No they never came around.

If they did, they never made a sound,

Maybe they were absent or were visiting to fast,

Hearing words of love, but then the meaning going past,

And how they miss the girl,

And they’d go a thousand times around the world just to be

Close enough to her just to see.

And Aubri was her name,

They never saw her, but they “loved her just the same,”

They played the game.

I wish that they had found a way

And the reasons that would make ‘em stay.

I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.

If she can't have the ones she wants, we'll do without the best.

And how they miss the girl

And they’d go a million times around the world just to say

She had been theirs for a day.

Too often it is the innocent who must pay the biggest price.

Welcome!

Alright everyone (ok, anyone) here it is. My very first blog! Not that I have anything to say, I just felt it was time to put something on my blog - page - thingamajig. Okay, that's enough of an introduction. At this point, I'd like to open it up for questions...ask anything, there are NO dumb questions!...um, you can ask anything about me...or my family...about the world...(sigh)...Go ahead, just fire away, I'll do my best to answer. Does anyone need to know where the bathroom is?! Is anyone there?...anyone?...Oh...I guess not.

Alright, then. We'll just count this as practice.

Let's see...let me blog about this site.

You probably have asked yourself, "Hey...me, what's a Snowdog? Maybe it's some kind of snowcone in a long, horizontal, waffle cone. Maybe he has a skiing dog. Maybe he's a musher...oh yeah, he lives in Texas." If you've asked yourself those exact questions, I have two things to tell you. First, it's just a coincidence...really! I don't read minds...well, at least not since the last time I babysat my neighbor's kids. Second, you have way too much time on your hands! Actually, Snowdog is all of the following, and more:

• A lover of snow
• A lover of dogs
• A gentile of European descent. (In Bible times, Jews sometimes referred to non-Jews as "dogs.")
• A fox - Arctic Fox, to be precise (My name, Todd, means "fox.")
• A really cool animal (no pun intended)
• Just a name I made up

What's this site all about, you may ask (...or not)? Well, like most, it's a way for me to express myself, to get my thoughts and feelings out there for the whole world to see! (I'm still due my 5 minutes of fame, you know.) I hope to entertaine (which, of course, is the Holy grail of the modern man, woman, child - or any combination of the three...more on that in a future blog). I also hope to stimulate thought, motivate, even anger. All in an effort to encourage the reader to think on a higher level...to escape the status-quo...to break out of the social paradigms we live in today.

There'll be poetry, essays, lyrics, Bible references, and even songs...maybe...if I can figure that out, and not break any laws.

I hope to do a lot with this blog, so check back frequently (I'll try to do the same).
