Made of Steel

By Our Lady Peace

I can be anything
That you want me to be
A punching bag
A piece of string
That reminds you not to think
They found the note
down in your car
It’s not your fault it gets this hard

Hold your head high
Don’t look down
I’m by your side
I won’t back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I’m not made of steel
But your secret’s safe with me


I can be anything
That you want me to be
A holy cross
Some sympathy
That reminds you how to bleed
They found the note down
in your car
You climbed up here to fall apart
They knock you down
I’ll pick you up
They laugh at you
I’ll shut them up

Lean On Me

Glee cover

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there’s always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don’t let show

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’d understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’d understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can’t carry
I’m right up the road
I’ll share your load
If you just call me

Call me..

For it won’t be long
Till I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Lean on me…

Will: I know it’s not always easy for you, Rachel. And I know that there are some things about yourself that you think you’d like to change. But you should know that there’s some boy out there who’s gonna like you for everything you are-including the parts of yourself that even you don’t like…those are gonna be the things he likes the most.

Rachel: Thanks, Mr Schu.

Never Change

By J. Han Feat. Samuel Ock


(Verse 1 – J. Han)

Our love for each other was so pure.
I looked out for you, you reached out to me.
We would never be separated by simple aberration,
-cause of regular collaborations.
Yes, our times together were so sweet and
on the weekends we would have our meetings.
You were seeking my attention,
you called me every single day for – conversation.
You were confident even when the problems hit.
Obstacles and potholes were challenges.
You trusted me – amidst your disarray.
I hoped you stayed to hear – what I had to say.
My encouragement – was your strength to carry on,
even though you relied on Dom Perignon.
You wanted a higher love, I provided.
-You are my bride, why did you fight it?

**You wanna be together with me for eternity?
You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed.
You are my masterpiece, I have washed your feet.
My love for you will never change, I will never change.

(Verse 2 – J. Han)

No matter what the world says about you.
Truth – will always stand and it’ll bear fruit.
Sometimes you’re embarrassed of me
and yet so arrogant to your peers like pharisees.
Heresy floats on the surface.
Instead of building on my rock, you decide to throw them.
You would greet me with a cloaked passion
but lacked the – compassion, you actor.
You act up, attracted to blasphe-
“me, myself, and I” – mentality.
The fallacy in that you ain’t really worthy
you’re not the master says Luke 17.
I married you, I’ve tasted the tea you brewed
If you ain’t hot for me, then you’re dispensable.
I don’t care how sweet you were.
Today make sure you pick up your cross and follow my word.**

(Verse 3 – Sam Ock)

You’re holding out for something big to happen
All you really need are my arms to be wrapped in
You know that, but you refuse to admit that I am the only one that you’re lackin
What happened to the passion? You’re lazy
Letting all the stupid things drive you crazy
I told you, I am everything you’re ever gonna need
So please let go of it all,
You see the pain that I felt for you then?
The gift you received with your every single “amen?
It’s been a few days, months, or years since the last time I took away your fears, your tears
I miss you…well did you know that?
I paid the price so you never gotta look back
All I want is to love and be loved in return.

So I haven’t blogged in a really long time

It’s not that I don’t have any thing to say, but just that I don’t know how to put things into words anymore.  Anyways, here’s a quick update.

So much has happened since school started.  Plans of being cool, calm and collected were pretty much shafted because well, I’m too cool to stay cool.

School is going pretty well.  However, seasonal depression is starting to kick in with the short days, cold weather, chronic sleep deprivation, occupational imbalance and delays on the TTC.  I need to invest in some bright lights.

When people ask me how I’m liking OT, I usually tell them “oh it’s okay” or “it’s alright so far”.  In all honesty, I’m  not very “engaged” in the learning so far because it’s all about foundational, theoretical models…but I’m not really complaining.  I did really enjoy going on a 2-week placement to observe an OT at RVC hospital (where I realized how most of the theories have little application in the working world haha). And I’m super thankful that my study group gets along really well.  Almost all of the assignments are group work, and I’ve heard that some of my classmates have some tension going on in their groups.  My group and I exercised creativity in two of our presentations, dressing up as hippies/scientists.

Oh and we saved Africa.

Going into UT, one thing I’ve made a conscious effort to do is have fun and be open to meeting new people. It’s been difficult to really do those things because I commute downtown and often don’t want to stick around after class is done. However I did…

..go on a boat cruise with my classmates! and..

A halloween party @ Val’s place. Yes, I thought a leadpipe was to be used as a blow dart;)

Anyways.

More stories to come.
