Its been awhile since a very long entry I think it's about damn time for one. This spring break I was a little woozy from my surgery but I found myself all the same. I feel like I have a new lease on life which sounds retarded but its true. I bonded with my mom...we really haven't had a fight since except for last night's "You need to got bed mom." "YOU need to go to bed."
It was our first day back today from spring break, I thought, I didn't hope, that it'd be like the first day of school...simply horrid but it was quite the opposite. I love my class, I love everyone now. Andrea is better than she was when she first came here, Dan is opening up more, and all my friends are as wonderful as they were. The stories of Spring Break filled the halls whether any of us went anywhere or not everyone had a story "I like to bathe in the sink." its all great.
I went to the mall I got two shirts from AE shorts and a pair of jeans. I can't wait for my Birthday cause I get MONEY Mom and I had good discussions. When were alone we do. Especially on the way home. I quietly slipped in the Metroland soundtrack, we were on the high way, I saw the nightlife of Evansville, the sodium lights, the glow of the clockface in The Old Courthouse. Anyway, Metroland was on the CD player I quickly skipped to #12 and did my shimmy to "So you win again." My mom smiled and shook her head I responded with a "Jeeez." but then I hit #14...Metroland, the title song but as I listen to it more and more I realize how truly the lyrics are ME. I told mom to listen to it the second time around...its a song that gives me chills "It's me isn't it?" I asked her, "Yeah..like to the T." She said its such a good song...I think I may go listen to it now.
Yearning, we were yearning
Green light blinding on the rail
Burning, we were burning
And a line unwinding to the Holy Grail
To the future gleaming on the blue horizon
And a golden girl on golden sand
Dreaming, fantasizing
In another world for Metroland
I've danced in rain
And I've been Django
And I've got laid
I've been a rolling stone
I've been Verlaine
And I've been Rimbaud
Not afraid to walk alone
And now I take, my midnight ramble
Do I fold or play
What's in my hand
What's at stake, what's the gamble
Do I stay in Metroland
Dreams, yesterday's laughter
Ghosts and lovers come back to play
But dreams have a morning after
And run for cover
In the light of day
I got something real, worth holding onto
I can belong to, and understand
I've made my deal
I will go onto
Make my peace with Metroland, with Metroland
Metroland, Metroland, Metroland
