little man

Little MAN swimming around in there
Tell me where do I go from here
I have questions
About myself
And I am hurting
Little man swimming around in there
Do you ever wish you were alive
Do you ever wish you were alive

DO YOU LIKE IT WHEN THINGS ARE SMALL
WOULD YOU LIKE IT, IF WE Weren’t HERE AT ALL
Do you have questions
About yourself
And I am hurting
DO YOU LIKE IT AROUND HERE
DO YOU EVER WISH YOU were alive

DO YOU WONDER ABOUT THE DAYS TO COME
DO YOU ASK YOURSELF ARE WE ONE
Do you have questions about myself
And are you hurting around here
Do you wander around here
Do you ever wish you were alive
Do you ever wish you were alive

Oh your darkness it falls on me
oh darkness

hello athena

Hello my name is athena
And I come from before
Moving around moving down
And I have not been here before

YOUR Roaming around, YOUR falling down
Trying to find YOUR ground
I’m finding myself in YOUR darkness
Searching around for SOMETHING KIND

HATE hey ………..
YOU SAID hey there what’d you say
Not much now go away
HATE…………………….
And how I feel and how YOU FEEL
Not much a part of me
YOU SAID HATE HATE

Watching you the other day
You break my heart when you say
Your tired of being around
Because I DON’T FEEL THAT WAY

i hold your LITTLE heart in my hand
ATHENA can feel you bleeding
IT’S SO un fair FOR YOU TO say
That it has TO BE THIS WAY

Hello my name is athena
And I come from before
I’LL TAKE YOU AWAY TO THAT SILENT PLACE
AND GIVE YOU ALL AND MORE

this is me......so they say

The Idealists called Teachers are abstract in their thought and speech, cooperative in their style of achieving goals, and directive and extraverted in their interpersonal relations. Learning in the young has to be beckoned forth, teased out from its hiding place, or, as suggested by the word "education," it has to be "educed." by an individual with educative capabilities. Such a one is the eNFj, thus rightly called the educative mentor or Teacher for short. The Teacher is especially capable of educing or calling forth those inner potentials each learner possesses. Even as children the Teachers may attract a gathering of other children ready to follow their lead in play or work. And they lead without seeming to do so.

Teachers expect the very best of those around them, and this expectation, usually expressed as enthusiastic encouragement, motivates action in others and the desire to live up to their expectations. Teachers have the charming characteristic of taking for granted that their expectations will be met, their implicit commands obeyed, never doubting that people will want to do what they suggest. And, more often than not, people do, because this type has extraordinary charisma.

The Teachers are found in no more than 2 or 3 percent of the population. They like to have things settled and arranged. They prefer to plan both work and social engagements ahead of time and tend to be absolutely reliable in honoring these commitments. At the same time, Teachers are very much at home in complex situations which require the juggling of much data with little pre-planning. An experienced Teacher group leader can dream up, effortlessly, and almost endlessly, activities for groups to engage in, and stimulating roles for members of the group to play. In some Teachers, inspired by the responsiveness of their students or followers, this can amount to genius which other types find hard to emulate. Such ability to preside without planning reminds us somewhat of an Provider, but the latter acts more as a master of ceremonies than as a leader of groups. Providers are natural hosts and hostesses, making sure that each guest is well looked after at social gatherings, or that the right things are expressed on traditional occasions, such as weddings, funerals, graduations, and the like. In much the same way, Teachers value harmonious human relations about all else, can handle people with charm and concern, and are usually popular wherever they are. But Teachers are not so much social as educational leaders, interested primarily in the personal growth and development of others, and less in attending to their social needs.

it sure is noisy

ever notice how loud children are......i am having a bad kids day, i feel like i am going to crack. i didn't plan my children very well and i think everyone needs to make sure their children's astrological signs are compatible. mine are not.........this makes for a noisy house around 8:30 pm, not quite bed time but sort of the end of the day, tired children. drive a person to drink.

thats my rant, not very substantial but non the less my rant!!
