And now I realise you never heard, one goddamned word I ever said
Whoever said anybody has a right to give up?
-Marian Wright Edelman
It did not take very long for the blue to fade out of my hair. It sort of faded to a Greenish tint, then disappeared all together. It probably has something to do with how vigeriously I wash my hair, and that it was not bleached first. *sad eyes*
I have been feeling kind of 'off' the past few days. Like, no matter what I do, I am not doing it right, and am not doing it well enough to even matter (as in, why bother?). I have not been sleeping well - I keep feeling like I am going to throw up (but, with the exception of last night's prayers to the gods of the white ceramic bowl, I have been throwing up less than usual), and I think that is contributing a great deal to the general feelings of malaise that I have been experiencing.
This past weekend, we tried to go camping. See - things got fucked up Friday night, but it was salvaged by hanging out with _sailorstar_, and watching movies. Saturday we packed up and headed out to Estacada to try to go camping. After setting up and starting supper, the sky decided to open up a can of wet-ass on us. After enduring, and watching as the tent started leaking, the decision was made to say 'Fuck It', pack up and head for home. Next time, it will be better planned.
I have to run off to my last final of Spring-Term, then sign up for Summer Classes. I will try to post an update soon. I never forget you kids, I have just been really busy, and unable to keep up with you.
One Last Thing!
Its a day late, but still important. Sixty One years ago, US, British, and Canadian soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy. While only the Canadians achieved their Day-One objectives, everyone gave everything they had in an effort to break Hitlers strangle-hold on fortress Europe. If it was not for the Blood, Sweat and Fear of millions of Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen, you would probably be speaking German or Japanese right now (and not by choice), if you lived at all. Thank a Veteran for defending Freedom. Your freedom was bought with the currency of blood.
Freedom Is Not FreeENGLISH LANGUAGE ADMISSION- You were right. I spent a great deal of time this morning reading up on some of the rules of the English Language, and Jesa, you are right. I was wrong, please accept my apologys.
Losing a whole yearLosing a whole year
i remember you and me used to spend
the whole goddamned day in bed
losing a whole year
hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs
the phone would ring like a joke thats left unsaid
losing a whole year
rich daddy left you with a parachute
your voice sounds like money and your face is cute
but your daddy left you with no love
you touch everything with a velevet glove and
now you want to try a life of sin
you want to be down with the down and in
always copping my thoughts
i kind of get the feeling like i'm being used
and now i realise you never heard
one goddamned word i ever said
losing a whole year
took your stuff and put it in the basement
when i found out what the smile on your face meant
i've seen you pop that check
craning your neck at my car wreck
it always seems the juice used to flow
in the car, in the kitchen, you were good to go
now we're stuck with the tube
a sink full of dishes and some aqua lube
and i remember you and me used to spend
the whole goddamned day in bed
losing a whole year
and if it's not the defense then you're on the attack
when you start talking i hear the Prozac
convinced you've found your place
with the peirced queer teens in cyberspace
when you were yourself it tasted sweet
but it sours into a routine deceit
well this drama is a bore
and don't want to play no more
and i remember you and me used to spend
the whole goddamned day in bed
losing a whole year
and i remember you and me used to spend
the whole goddamned day in bed
losing a whole year
