Some say the end is near....

Hmmm.... This song means a lot to me. People should read it. It's Ænema from Tool's Ænima. Tool--Ænema
Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
Certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bull shit, three-ring circus of sideshow freaks
That are in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only fix it is to flush it all away
Any fuckin' time, any fuckin' day
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona bay

Fret for your figure
And fret for your latte
And fret for your lawsuit
And fret for your hairpiece
And fret for your Prozac
And fret for your pilot
and fret for your contract
And fret for your courage

Bull shit, three-ring circus of sideshow freaks
That are in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only fix it is to flush it all away
Any fuckin' time, any fuckin' day
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona bay

Some say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits

And some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
Certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit....

One great bit festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim....
Cuz Mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it oughta be

Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim

Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones
Fuck all these gun-toting, hip gangster wannabes
Fuck retro anything
Fuck your tattoos
Fuck all you junkies and fuck your short memory
Fuck smilely glad-ons with hidden agendas
Fuck these dysfunctional, insecure actresses

Cuz I'm prayin' for rain
I'm prayin' for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down

Mom please flush it all away
I wanna see it go riding down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away

Time to bring it down again
Don't just call me pessimist
Try and read between the lines
I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change my friend
I wanna see it come down
Bring it down
Suck it down
Flush it down

Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim....

Good damn song. It's about the Apocalypse, for those of you who cared enough to read it. I could explain certain parts that probably don't make sense to you, but that would ruin Tool's line of thinking, which is, "People need to learn to think for themselves more."
Anyways...

God I love Michelle. I'm going to her house again today, as I've already mentioned in my previous entry. I could go over there 24/7, if it weren't for parents and for need of sleep (well, actually, I'd cuddle up with her and sleep next to her, probably with my arm around her; she's so awesome). God, I hate acne. I hate it.... Meh. What can I do about it? 2:05 already.... I typed those lyrics myself, by the way, and it took a little bit of time, because I had to keep pausing the song. That's why you people should read it.

I love Michelle Allen more than anything in any life or any plane of existence.

Alrighty then. That was weird. I just felt like expressing my love for her, as I always seem to wish to do. Everyone should go to MXtabs and learn how to play any Tool song. It's pretty fun.

blahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

I'm ready to get out of here, see Michelle, and go home, then go to Michelle's house. I'm going to take a shower before I head over there; I need it. I'm going to go over there after her mom gets home today; I went over there at 5:00 yesterday, before her mom got home, and me and Michelle hung out outside until her dad got home, and he gave her a REALLY evil look. It scared me. That's why I'm going to wait until either her dad or mom is home already before going over there. That, and I think I'll have my bike today so I can get down there faster anyway, so I don't have to start walking sooner. I'm listening to Ænema over and over again. It's a good song. The best on the album Ænima, in my opinion. I'm sure some would beg to differ, saying that, perhaps, Forty-Six & 2 is the best song, but I don't think so. Stinkfist is just funny. It uses the metaphor of really really really hard fingering someone as a metaphor of having a realtionship that just consists of "flopping it" and wanting to feel more than just physical things when he's with the person. It's pretty funny. And, on Undertow, the song 4° uses the metaphor of anal sex as a metaphor of someone getting closer to another person emotionally. Good stuff. Well, it's 2:11. I'm gonna go.
