Wise quotes from Oma Desala

The Universe is vast and we are small. There is really only one thing we can ever truly control...whether we are good or evil.


Though the river tells no lies, the dishonest standing on the shore, still hears them.


The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed. Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way.


You cannot tell the depth of the river, until you see the bottom.


The true nature of a man is decided in the battle between his conscious mind and the desires of the subconscious.


The evil within is too strong to defeat, the only way to win is to deny it battle.

You talk too much

Or maybe that's your way

Of breaking up the sounds 

That fills you up

But it doesn't sound the same

When no one's really listening

We stumble into our lives

Reach for a hand to hold

And any wonder

We need to find

A certain something

Turn out the light and what are you left with?

Open up my hands and find that they're empty

Press my face to the ground

I've gotta find a reason

Just scratching around

For something to believe in

You have too much

You're spending all your time

Collecting and discovering

It's not enough

And no matter how you try

You never find the one you want

-Something to believe in

Metalingus

I've been defeated and brought down

Dropped to my knees when hope ran out

The time has come to change my ways

On this day I see clearly

Everything has come to life

A bitter place and a broken dream

And we'll leave it all behind

I'll never long for what might have been

Regret won't waste my life again

I won't look back

I'll fight to remain

On this day it's so real to me

Everything has come to life

Another chance to chase a dream

Another chance to feel alive

-Metalingus

Nothing Else Matters

So close, no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

I never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

Yeah, trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

And I know

Never cared for things they say

Never cared for games they play

I never cared for what they do

I never cared for what they know

And I know

-Nothing Else Matters

Stripped

Come with me

Into the trees

We'll lay on the grass

And let the hours pass

Take my hand

Come back to the land

Let's get away

Just for one day

Let me see you

Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you crying 

Just for me

-Stripped

I'm Alive

I'm still alive

But can not apologize

So silent

No violence

But inside my head

So loud and clear

Come fire

Let it burn

And love come racing through

I've learned to lose

I've learned to win

I've turned my face against the wind

I will move fast

I will move slow

Take me where I have to go

- I'm still Alive

Some songs stick with ya =)

I'll be posting a few posts with songs and their lyrics that have a special meaning to me....

Out of time, I hear your voice

Break through the noise

And pain

My heart's refrain

Why can't I convince myself

That this is the right time

To contend

Will you please ease my pain

Break the tide that's pushing you

Outside the place you're safe

Don't pretend

Ask my eyes 

Protect my gaze

As the light makes the day

I pray

Will you please ease my pain

- Ease My Pain

Stargate SG-1 Sam and Jack

I'm in the mood for some Sam and Jack quotes :p


As many of you know, I'm a sci-fi fan. Always have been, always will be. I grew up with Star Trek The Original Series when I was very young, too young to understand it all but somehow it crept into my soul and I kept watching The Next Generation until I grew into a young lady and teenaged through Voyager.


So falling in love with Stargate SG-1 came naturally to me. I've been following them since day 1 and has been a part of my life for over 13 years now. The show is incredible, amazing actors, very strong story-line, good special effects - certainly for a TV show.


For some reason, I always find myself 'shipping' couples. Guess it's the romantic chick in me boiling to the surface =).


Sam and Jack have a very, very long relationship that can't happen because they're both in the Air Force and even more Sam is serving under his command which goes against frat rules if they consider having a romantic relationship. But as love goes, you can't help falling in love. And that is exactly what happens between Sam and Jack. 


They sacrifice their love for their duty. They both know they're in love and it's not just some fling. It's more than love. It's a bond they share, beyond death.


Both trying to fall in love with someone else, they find themselves failing each time. After eight long years they FINALLY let themselves pursue a relationship because for one - she's out of his chain of command and two - coming too close to losing each other too many times cleared their heads and they eventually listen to their hearts.


I do have to say, it's an angsty relationship. It's eight years filled with angsty love. Loving the other while knowing you can't have them. Knowing you can't love them, hold them.


It's true what they say: fear will bind you stronger than love. And having to share all this pain and trusting the other in constant combat, it translates in risking your own life for the other. Wanting to sacrifice your own life for the one you love.


It's - well - I'll let the quotes speak for themselves :) The pictures are random and don't go with the quotes but it shows how much one can say with only a look.

Sam Carter: I take it you're Colonel O'Neill? Captain Samantha Carter reporting Sir.

Jack O'Neill: Oh, here we go. Another scientist! General, please.

Sam Carter: Ya know, you really will like me once you get to know me.

Jack O'Neill: Oh, I adore you already Captain.

Janet Frasier: You miss him?

Sam Carter: Yeah.

Janet Frasier: Is this a problem?

Sam Carter: No! No of course not.

Jack O'Neill: I didn't leave - because I'd rather die myself than lose Carter.

Sam Carter: Yes Sir.

Jack O'Neill: Sir....

Sam Carter: Please...Jack.

Sam Carter: Thank you Sir.

Jack O'Neill: For what?

Sam Carter: For being here for me.

Jack O'Neill: Always.

Jack O'Neill: All right! What?

Teal'c: Major Carter felt a similar sense of frustration. She despaired of the thought of never seeing you again.

Jack O'Neill: Because I care about her - a lot more than I'm supposed to.

Kerry: Is the Air Force the only thing keeping you apart?

(after Sam's trapped behind a force-field and the ship's about to explode)

Sam Carter: Sir? You gotta get out of here.

Jack O'Neill: So do you.

Sam Carter: Sir.

(starts beating against the force-field)

Jack O'Neill: I know I know!

Sam Carter: Sir - just go.

Jack O'Neill: NO!

Peace and love

That's Miss Emily for you ^_^

Another beautiful sunny day; it's magic to my heart, my nose, my ears and my eyes. What little I need to make my heart flutter. To chase away the winter-bats and open up to summer-butterflies. If we could all just stand still, push out the worries of the world, take a deep breath and enjoy the slight, warm touches of the sun's rays. 


I was born in July and I will always be a child of the Summer. 


I recently moved to a bigger appartment. Not that it's THAT big, but it actually has room for me to sit outside with Emily and here are some pictures of her enjoying the sun.

Fail! LOL
