Before we get too rowdy on this blog, I suppose it'd be appropriate for the measly third corner of this glorious love triangle to make some sort of an entrance! :)
I'm Jason, a man madly in love with Jesus Christ and a beautiful, amazing woman named Tami. While those things do define me, I'm sad to say there's something else that takes up the vast majority of my time: work. I have two jobs: one cleaning pools (and I'm on the cusp of my insanely busy summer season), the other delivering restaurant food. This currently keeps me away from roughly 6:30am until 10:30pm or later, and it will be this way all summer long. Now I'm overjoyed to be working this hard. It's how I was able to afford the ring my beloved deserves and the 3000-mile trip to hand deliver it to her, and it's primarily how we'll be able to afford our wedding...and while I'll most certainly back off after the wedding (if for no other reason, my lovely wife-to-be demands it), I will continue to hold on to both jobs for the forseeable future to help us obliterate the evil smelly debt gorilla and pay for my law studies starting in Fall 2008.
The point of that mess above? Don't expect frequent posting from me. I really wish it were otherwise, but I'd be a a liar if I promised to post here more than a few times a month. I'm going to try to set aside some time on Sundays to help Tami present our love story to our loved ones (and all those anonymous cyber-interlopers), and I think 2-3 posts a month is a feasible expectation. And trust me: the only blog posts I write are long, laborious works of art, so I venture to believe the reader won't ultimately feel ripped off.
For now, I'd like to offer a song, one that has truly branded itself into my heart and never fails to bring tears to my eyes (and sobs, depending on my level of self control at the moment). I must save the explanation for later, but it's the most relevant musical expression of my love for Christ and Tami that I know of, and only this could make me cry. If you want to hear the song, wish to avoid downloading it, and can't stand the radio, visit my MySpace.
"Far Away" by Nickelback
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
[CHORUS]
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
