Belief

Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching underwater
You never can hit who you're trying for
Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon
For the war that's raging on inside
We're never gonna win the world
We're never gonna stop the war
We're never gonna beat this
If belief is what we're fighting for
We're never gonna win the world
We're never gonna stop the war
We're never gonna beat this
If belief is what we're fighting for

Tommy Made Lasange For Dinner


I decided to start a blog. I thought it would be nice to have a place to share the mundane, sometimes daily details of our new life in England. So, tonight Tommy made Lasagna. It was delicious. I have never had Lasagna at home that did not have to be defrosted first, so this was a nice change. We walked into town to our local grocery store Budgens to get the ingredients. Ralphie went along with us, so I stayed out side with the dog while Tommy roamed around the grocery store a good 30 minutes. Whilst outside I had several strange encouters with the York locals. One was with a homeless man who is always outside the Budgens. He has a new puppy. It is hard for me to see a dog in that situation, so I have been feeding it. Usually just a can of dog food here and there. At first I was afraid the owner would be offended, but he isn't. Today I even learned her name, Astra. I will keep feeding Astra as long as her owner doesn't mind. Like I said before, it hurts my heart to see a homeless puppy, but everyday that I see her I am relieved in knowing she is still alive.
After the dog encounter and Ralphie dodging the stiletto high hills of what felt like 30 hen parties, Tommy resurfaced,we walked home and had a nice night in.
