Life is strange lately. Everyone around me seems stressed and unhappy
about things. Actually, strike "seems." Everyone I'm surrounded by is
so burned out with their own issues they can't care about everyone
else's issues, which makes everyone more testy and on edge. I'm
including myself in this one. I definately haven't been as
compassionate or caring with people, because I'm too wrapped up in my
own problems. I'm thinking of striving for a "cheerful indifference."
Just care a bit less about things, go with the flow of things, and do
what I can to brighten the lives of those around me. Someone's has to.
As soon as my tax rebate comes, I'll have "Chris's Government Check
Party!" Anyone caught being dramatic will be struck with a rolled up
newspaper. Oh, and while we're on the subject of striking people with
things, I've come up with a solution to corporate greed in America; I
will tape a dollar bill to a stick, and beat the living hell out of
people with it. See, the beauty of this plan is in its simplicity.
Bottom line is, I'm going to do what I can to care less about my own
problems, and be more receptive to others. I'm not going to tolerate
bullshit, I'm not going to let things bring me down. I just want all my
friends out there to know I'm there to lean on, should you need it.
The sun was shining bright
Up off the asphault the first day I met you
I've been waiting for you
You smiled at me
And everything between the lines
Was swept away in that summer's breeze
I'll never know just what you felt
Or why you came up to me
But a little blonde cowgirl
Brought me to my knees
Maybe I'm just stupid
Maybe it wasn't meant to be
Maybe it's my lot in life
To always feel lonely
Do you think I might be rescued
Do you think I could believe
That everything I've ever wanted
Lies right in front of me?
The sun was shining bright
Up off the asphault the last day I saw you
I watched you walk away
You crushed me with a word
And everything between the lines
Tore me from the inside out
I'll never know just what you felt
Or why you had to leave
But maybe its time that I
Get up off my knees
See you, cowgirl...
