Somebody Needs You - Westlife

I'm only human
Sometimes I make mistakes
If you forgive me
I'm gonna do what it takes

But now I know better
To hurt you was wrong
Girl it's with you I belong

Chorus:
Somebody needs you
Like never before
Somebody wants your love
Baby open the door
Don't you leave me alone
Don't you turn out the light
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you tonight

I've been thinking
We should be talking it through
You must believe me
I'll make it all up to you

Cause now I know better
To hurt you was wrong
Girl it's with you I belong

Chorus:
Somebody needs you
Like never before
Somebody wants your love
Baby open the door
Don't you leave me alone
Don't you turn out the light
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you tonight

Somebody needs you tonight
In the dark
When there's no one else around
I still pray, that our love
Can be found

Chorus:
Somebody needs you
Like never before
Somebody wants you
Baby open the door
Don't you leave me alone
Don't you turn out the light
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody needs you
Like never before
Somebody wants you
Baby open the door
Don't you leave me alone
Don't you turn out the light
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you tonight

Robb Nen Day

Tribute to Robb Nen
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - The San Francisco Giants will honor the franchise's all-time saves leader Robb Nen, who retired this winter, in ceremonies prior to their Saturday, July 9 contest versus the St. Louis Cardinals at SBC Park, the club announced today. Nen amassed a franchise-record 206 saves during his six-season tenure with the Giants, during which he helped lead the team to the 2002 World Series and the 2000 National League West crown. One of the game's most dominant closers, the three-time All Star ranks 13th on the all-time saves list with 314 rescues over his 12-year career.

"Robb was a real leader in the clubhouse and was a key force in making the Giants one of the best teams in baseball for the seven years that he was here," said Giants President and Managing General Partner Peter Magowan. "He was a key ingredient of the Florida Marlins 1997 World Series Championship and no one will forget his heroic effort in 2002 when he pitched through so much pain to help the Giants reach the seventh game of the World Series. He was also a tremendous representative for the organization off the field, and we look forward to recognizing Robb for his many achievements."

The right hander with the distinctive toe tap became the youngest pitcher to reach the 300-save plateau when he accomplished the feat at the age of 32, securing an 11-10 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 6, 2002. Nen finished the Giants' pennant-winning campaign in 2002 with 43 saves to become just the fourth pitcher in Major League history to have four separate 40-save campaigns.

Originally a 32nd-round pick by the Rangers in the 1987 draft, the San Pedro, CA native went on to post a 45-42 lifetime ledger with 314 saves (368 chances) and a 2.98 ERA over 643 big league games (four starts) for Texas (1993), Florida (1993-97) and San Francisco (1998-2004).

Behind These Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson

Seems like just yesterday, you were a part of me
I used to stand so tall, I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight, everything it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong

Now I can't breathe, no I can't sleep
I?m barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I?m torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything, opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright, for once in my life
Now all that?s left of me is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside

Cause I can?t breathe, no I can?t sleep
I?m barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I?m torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me, then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you, it kills me now
No, I don?t cry on the outside anymore
Anymore

Here I am, once again
I?m torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again
I?m torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Credit card damage...

I woke up early not because I wanted to, but because some jerk called up at 8.40 a.m. Who calls anyone at 8.40 a.m.? Well I also didn't turn off the phone and so I made sure I did that before going to sleep. I woke up and then went on the message board (what else would I do?) and replied and checked stuff. Then it was time to get changed and head on out to do some credit card damage.

I had no idea what I would do until I got home. As I was leaving I realized I spent a lot of money. I know last weekend in roughly about an hour or two I spent $90.00. That's a lot. But compare that with this weekend in a day and in about three hours I spent $150.00. I don't ever, ever spend like this. Whatever came over me to do it I haven't a clue. In about six hours including last week I have spent an entire day's pay.

I had no idea I could do this sort of damage. I didn't know I had it in me. The crazy part was that most of it was for work. Why am I buying work clothes? I don't know. I think it might be time that I grew up and left the "teenager" in me at home and look a little more professional at work. Maybe this has something to do with Jesse Foppert. LOL. Whatever it is I should just leave the "fun" and "teenager" clothes for the weekends and for the ball games.

I went to a quite a few stores. I went to Forever 21 and actually walked out of the place with a pair of capris. It happen to match my "monkey C monkey DO" lettering. I don't know why else I got it. They fit and they're capris in another color so I guess that's why. I just wanted to expand my wardrobe.

The next place I headed off to was FCUK (French Connection UK) and I had no idea I'd walk out with $52.00 worth of clothes. Luckily everything was extra 40% off or I would have been crying. Then the next stop was Gap. I bought this cute baby boy sleeper thing. Then I went off to anthropology, but left empty handed. I also went to Urban Outfitters, but found nothing. Then it was off to Old Navy again.

I go and thought well, I have this $10.00 off $50.00 and I can use that. I get three work shirts and then when I go to pay the guy said, "You can't use this until the 8th which is next Friday." My bad. I had no idea what day it was. So I used the 10% off instead. That was another $50.00 at the store. I now had shirts to go with the pants and skirt that I had bought last week.

I was heading home and thought well why not go over to Stonestown to check out my favorite store, Aeropostale or everyone else calls it "monkey store". OK no one calls it that, but that's where I get most of my monkey stuff. There was nothing. I did try to find the monkey polo that people have on sale on eBay, but I couldn't find it. I only saw the ones with the butterfly. Then I went to Macy's to find some more baby clothes. I did find something else that was cute too.

After all that I went to Mc Donalds to feed myself. I had ordered fries and apple pie. Yummy! I had finished up most of the fries while waiting for the bus to go home. Then once I was home I was relieved. I had time to eat and then get ready for the game. I came back only to have a headache. I had no idea that the game would make it worse. I had a bad headache and then when I couldn't take it anymore I took some medicine for it.

The game was painful to watch. I don't know how I did it. I didn't watch the whole thing. I had to stop and do something else. It was just painful. I did get some cleaning done. I also killed a spider. That was strange. I also dyed my hair too. I don't know why. I just wanted to. I have no idea what color my hair is. Oh well.
