Les Mis

How can you be sure that sometimes you really aren't an apathetic fool, who cares nothing about others? Here's my verification that I'm human:

I still cry at the end of Les Mis. Anyone who can't help crying or at least have a lump welling up in the back of their throat... they've been living in reality too long.

It was great. Most definitely worth missing SuperBowl Commercials for!

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again.
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums
there is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.


This is my favorite song from Les Mis, I used to sing it all the time.  It's sorta like comfort food, only not.

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
A world that's full of hapiness that I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
