From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westlife are a Irish boy band created in 1998. The band has proven very successful in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, and is also very popular in Africa, Australia and Asia.
The band has had thirteen UK number ones singles between the years 1999 and 2005, the fourth-highest such total in UK history, behind Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Cliff Richard. Westlife are also the only band in UK chart history to have entered straight at number one with their first seven singles. They are also the only artist to win 'Record Of The Year' in the UK four times (often attributed to their loyal fanbase). Westlife have sold nearly 40 million albums worldwide and have seven multi-platinum albums

It surprised me not to find the name of my town "Paradise" on the list... guess it's not weird
enough?
I wouldn't mind visiting some of these towns, like Santa Claus, Indiana and Happy, Texas. Oh, Looneyville, Texas and Why, Arizona sound like fun places too. How about you?

The mysterious cat is again walking through overgrown weeds, sees me, sits down, long beautiful
tail perfectly curled around it.
I often look through my bedroom window that faces my backyard. It is a wide open space, closed
in by thickly high hedges to the sides with the back fence that was once white now weathered gray, adorned with blackberry vines that's spilling
over from the neighbor's yard. There are many trees, big and small, mostly made up of pines
and some I can't name, and the whole yard is also surrounded by tall trees that blocks out most of
the sky. One year, AB tried planting a bunch of wild flowers by turning over the soils after a
good rain but it didn't take well because of the rocky soil. Still, some of the seeds gave a
valiant effort and blossomed in the early spring but when the lawn guy came, he razed the whole
area before I had a chance to shout out to him.
First time when I saw the cat, it was ambling through my backyard much as it did now, all in
it's splendent midnight black fur with snow white belly. When it saw me watching through the
window, it stopped on it's track and settled down to watch me back. So, there we sat, me inside of
the window and the cat outside, we kept looking at each other. I was admiring it's beauty and
grace but why is it watching me? Its unusually intent stare, not just a passing glance in
curiousity as cats do, made me wonder... If what they say about reincarnation is true, did it have
known me from somewhere at another time...? I know it's a silly notion, but it's fun to
imagine.
The cat sits there, motionlessly, watching me.

Oh Daddy
Oh Daddy,
You know you make me cry,
How can you love me,
I don't understand why.
Oh Daddy,
If I can make you see,
If there's been a fool around,
It's got to be me.
Yes, it's got to be me.
Oh Daddy,
You soothe me with your smile,
You're letting me know,
You're the best thing in my life.
Oh Daddy,
If I can make you see,
If there's been a fool around,
It's got to be me.
Yes, it's got to be me.
Why are you right when I'm so wrong,
I'm so weak but you're so strong,
Everything you do is just alright,
And I can't walk away from you,
even If I tried.
The very first time I heard this song, it was right after a romantic candle lit dinner at the
home of my date. He put a Fleetwood Mac album on his stereo which I supposed was his favorite
group at the time, but until then I've never even heard of Fleetwood Mac. I think the song was one
of their not so well known among the best hits, but when I heard this song I felt as if the artist
was looking into deep within recess of my heart and kept tugging and twisting at it. bringing back
my father who died a decade before.
There it was, the memory of my father gazing at me with such adoration, telling me how sweet and
beautiful I was, that I was his perfect angel who couldn't do any wrong in his eyes. When I knew
darn well I was full of flaws in my mother's eyes. To her I was exasperatingly absent-minded girl who was a disappointment
when compared to my brilliant older sister and brother who were excelling in academics by
consistently making the top grades and being the president of student bodies with IQs that are bordering on genius. I was just a
bookworm who lived in a dream world, always scribbling impractical poems and stories which, in her mind, equated to plain
laziness. She used to tell me it's a good thing at least I had good enough looks
that I could marry someone who is rich (at which I also failed because as I matured physically and
emotionally, I've somehow developed terrific aversion to all rich men)
My father was the one truly altruistic man I've ever personally known who has completely devoted
his life to helping others, never mind of the fact that it frustrated my mother no end that he
wasn't interested nor capable at making money for the family or accumulating wealth.
Fleetwood Mac has been one of my favorites ever since but this song will always have a special
place in my heart, and to this day I am not ashamed to say the song has the power to cut my heart and
bring tears to my eyes.
