Has Someone Taken Your Faith? It's Real, The Pain You Feel, The Life, The Love You Die To Heal...
I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you
Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...
Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...
I really have an assload to talk about, but much as I have done many times before, I really don't think I have the energy to really go into it. The difference this time is that I am gonna at least make my best effort to cover the most important parts of recent events in my life. What is there to say? Plenty. The question is really, where to start?
Well, I am still working at Answer America, and I still actually enjoy it as much as I did before. I have no issues with the people I work with, I don't really really dread going to work like I did at Borders or Protocol or any of the other jobs I have had. I am actually pretty satisfied with this job, which is weird for me. It is soooo laid back, and it pays well for the leniance it has. In fact, as of just recently, it pays EXTREMELY well for the leniance or not. I am so excited; ecstatic, really, to for the the first time in my life, join the ranks of my friends and family who make double digits! Yes, my friends, I am saying that I got a raise... a $2 raise, to be exact, and am making more than I ever have before. Plus, given the fact that two people have just quit, (one being my dear friend Alyson who I kinda got the job there,) they have already asked me if I would be willing to swing some overtime, which at the rate they will be paying me for overtime, HELL FUCKING YES, I would be willing. Plus, in agreeing to do overtime, I scored myself something else very important. I managed to work into the overtime conversation that I HAVE requested September 11th off, and she pretty well made it clear that it wouldn't be a problem.
Okay, so I am guessing that you all know what is coming... why do I ever request days off of work?! Yes, the new music season is oh so close, and included in the new music season for me this year is concert season! I was hoping to start it off day after tomorrow by heading out to Cypress Gardens, some weird theme park out in Winter Garden, to see Ashlee Simpson, but unfortunately I don't think that's gonna happen. It's all good, though, because instead I am kicking off my concerts for the season on September 11th, seeing the MOTHERFUCKING FOO FIGHTERS!!!! Oh, and Weezer will be there, but I am not really into them. Also, Kaiser Chiefs will be there, but I don't even know any of their music. BUT THE FUCKING FOO FIGHTERS!!! I am obsessed with them! They are an amazing band, and I am bousta go see them live! I cannot wait! So, instead of spending that day reflecting on the events 4 years ago on that date, I will be out having an amazing fucking time watching the Foo Fighters! I cannot fucking wait! After that, on October 7th AND October 8th, I will be seeing one of my all time favourite artists, the incomparable FUCKING LIZ PHAIR!!! Not one night, but two... once at the House Of Blues in Orlando, then the next night at Jannus Landing in St. Petersberg! Last time I was at the House Of Blues Orlando was seeing the most amazing show I have ever seen in my whole fucking life, Scissor Sisters, and last time I was at Jannus Landing I saw a portion of what I am sure woulda been an amazing show had it not gotten rained out, Lisa Marie Presley. Either way, I think seeing Liz Phair will be an amazing experience. I am taking my Momma, and maybe my sister and her girlfriend to the HOB show, then hauling the Borders crew out to the Jannus Landing show! I cannot fucking wait. I mean, it's FUCKING LIZ PHAIR! I don't care who you are, you have to see Liz Phair! She is an amazing artist! I cannot wait to see her! This is gonna be awesome. Other concert possibilities for the season are *fingers crossed* Fiona Apple, I am kinda wanting to see Rob Thomas and Anna Nalick, and maybe Fall Out Boy. I dunno, though. It depends on when they are around. I am most excited about seeing Liz, and Foo Fighters... after those two, most shows are gonna be a little less priority, except Fiona Apple, because I have LOVED her for years, and I thought the opportunity to see her live would never come again, but she is FINALLY releasing the 3rd album, and going on tour again! I CANNOT WAIT! That is one show that I will be all over the fucking tickets as soon as the dates are announced. I HAVE TO SEE FIONA APPLE!
Anyway, aside from that, things are going well in life. Everything seems to be going well. I am back on good terms with all of my friends. I think I have learned to accept the fact that they will always do shit that I disagree with, and they will always piss me off sometimes, but they are prolly worth hanging on to. So, no more being silly and taking shit for granted for me! I have been writing a lot lately, and I think I've actually been shitting out some pretty good stuff. I am excited about that! There is another, rather large entry, coming soon to kingof_pain so, that should be interesting. I am thinking I may post some of my new songs over here. I dunno. We'll see what happens. Things just seem to be going very well for me right now, and I am very very grateful for it. It is about time that things get a little better, and I am not sitting around being a dumb ass stressing over shit all the time. Anyway, what I should be stressing over is going to fucking bed. It is late. I have to get up earlier than usual tomorrow. My schedule has just been changed from 3-11pm, to 2-10pm. So, in order to have a few waking hours before work, I have to get up at like 10am instead of my usual 11am-1pm. So, I am off! Hope y'all are having fun! Leave me some comments! They let me know that you give a shit! :-P
