Song: The Difference
Artist: the Wallflowers

One, two boys by the river
Down by the water
Tellin' riddles in the dark
With fireflies under the moonlight
Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife
Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister
His best friend come along
He tried to kiss her

Chorus:
The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

One boy lives in a tower
With bow and arrow
And the artificial heart
With his girl
Maid of dishonor
He loaded the cannon
With a jealous appetite
They say that children now
They come in all ages
And maybe sometimes old men die
With little boy faces

(chorus)
repeat

You always said that you needed some
But you always had more, more than anyone

(chorus)
repeat

Thumbtacks come in a variety of intriguing colours, you know.

Having [chasingpeace] over always increases the cleanliness of my bedroom. Amazing.

Styrofoam packing peanuts are a mystery.

"Say the word; your wish is my command."

Oh Freddie.

The world's going to the dogs without you.

Run Dmc - Roots, Rap, Reggae Lyrics
(feat. Yellowman)
Reggae!
Rrrroots, rap, reggae!

[runelord]
.. and we don't stop
It's like that y'all, and then we're ready to play
It's no jive, it's live, and it's reggae

Roots, rap..

[D.M.C.]
My homeboy Jay, don't scratch reg-gae
So listen to Jam Master as the Master start to play
(and when he go) just check the show
(cause they scratchin with the) toe
(and even his el)-bow! (HA!)

Rrrroots, rap, reggae!

[YellowMan]
Stomp your feet, clap your hand
At the microphone is King Yellowman
In Jamaica, I'm the champ-i-on
This is roots, rap, reggae! Ha ha ha, rip it
Roots, rap, reggae!
Hotta.. 'otta.. 'otta reggae music
'otta.. 'otta.. 'otta reggae music
'otta.. 'otta.. 'otta reggae music
I know we know that reggae is sweet
Reggae music is rap to de beat
Clap your hands an' stomp your feet
Roots, rap, reggae!
Roots, rap..

[runelord]
Now party people I'm so happy, don't know what to do
Cause I'm an MC with the rhyme, and down with the crew
Rock from Africa to France and the Kalamazoo
And every place that I play, I hear a YAY not a BOO
And now a party not a party and a jam ain't a jam
less D is who he be, and I am who I am
Or Jay is just the DJ cuttin for the two
And it's the three of us, baby and we're doin the do

[YellowMan]
Five plus five, equal to ten
Everywhere I go I've got a lot of girlfriend
Music is sweet, music is nice
Yellow 'ave about twenty-four wife
It's roots, rap, reggae! Ha ha ha
Roots, rap, reggae!
Don't drink alco-'ol, don't snort cocaine
Reggae music is not so strange
Know de cocaine will 'urt up your brain
This is roots, rap, reggae! Ha HAH!
Roots, rap, reggae! AIIIIYY SIAH!
It's roots, rap, reggae!

...yeah.

Dorian Gray. Wow.

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."
-- Oscar Wilde

I'm madly in love with this book. Beware, it will ensnare you! I find that I am enamoured of so many of the quotes from this book. Beware multiple quotes to follow!

Also, [Draymond] is on vacation. I recently realised that no one much messages me. Ker-phoo.

Day Three of My Imprisonment (aka school)

Nothing much to report. Marching rehearsal at 7 a.m., then freshmen leaving for their "retreat". This really didn't affect me as the only class I really have any freshmen in is Band, and I'd already seen them in the morning. So first hour passed with a few interesting quotes a la Mr. Coates, second hour resulted in the filling out of a massive survey (which I might post here if I get bored enough). Band went as well as could be expected, then tacos for lunch (and making faces at Keaton, which was entertaining). Then my independent study was spent in the air-conditioned library doing my Government homework because my teacher was chaperoning the freshman retreat... and then Government. Which was also as good as could be expected.

Speaking of Government, I have a paper to write after reading an article. Ciao!

Rundown on School So Far:

DAY ONE:
Went to French I. Learned how to say "hello" while noticing that my schedule was really screwed up. Spent second period discussing how to fix my schedule with the TAG coordinater, then went to band. After band I wandered around for the period that I didn't have anything scheduled (due to weirdness), then sat in Modern American History until school was over. After that, I went and got my schedule changed, discussing options and collecting signatures so I could enter classes way over their limits already.

DAY TWO:
Started with World Cultures, which I have with Molly and a few other people of note, taught by Mr. Coates... behold, the Coates Quotes shall expand! Second came English III, also with Molly and a massive amount of other people of note. Then band, then lunch at the normal time, followed by Physics skinny and ending with Government, in which there was a giant bee and a bunch of seniors who were angry at having a junior in their class. (Alex and Nicole didn't mind, nor Mercedes or Dave. Turns out live works okay.)

Now for an ortho this afternoon yet, followed by LOADS of homework. Yay.

Bandness

I'm really cold.

No, like really.

Physically.

Spiritually.

Mentally.

I can't feel my mental fingers.

The tip of my spiritual nose is numb.

My physical arms have goosebumps.

It's the weirdest thing.

All of my thoughts seem to have a line break between them.

It's odd.

I'm also slightly damp.

Asthma's been kicking in.

I'm fighting off all the old habits using a twice-baked potato instead of a bowl of ice cream or a beer or blood from my own arm.

Because I'm trying to keep it together.

Trying as hard as I can.

I don't know who I'm trying for, though.

Keane - Crystal Ball

Who is the man I see
where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
under the iron sea.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.

Lines ever more unclear,
I'm not sure I'm even here,
The more I look the more I think that I'm
starting to disappear.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.

I don't know where I am,
and I don't really care,
I look myself in the eye,
there's no one there.
I fall upon the earth,
I call upon the air,
but all I get is the same old vacant stare.

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.

*sigh*
