It's alright we told you what to dream.&lt;br /&gt;You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,&lt;br /&gt;He always ate in the Steak Bar.

    <content type="html">rbTrEnDyfish4dmb: GOD DAMNIT KARL UPDATE YOUR LIVEJOURNAL&lt;br /&gt;rbTrEnDyfish4dmb: this is an ORDER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah the things that inspire us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's going to be a long month, because it has three more days than the last month....which is totally insane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok so how about some free-association writing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today it rained like there was no tomorrow, and it was really cold, and I just kept thinking, and it was cloudy, and I liked how we learned about schizophrenia because it was interesting. I sometimes wonder why I pretend to not know even simple facts about my own existence in order to not seem overly proud of them, even things like "I throw shotput for track", an older example. Why are there such things as curse words, why can't people just look at words as words, they're just letters strung together anyway. And why are there so many decency laws, and yet no universal health care. While people are dying without proper treatment for their ills why do we even spend a second debating whether there should be parental advisory labels on CDs, whether violent movies and media should be banned. Is it a compliment to call someone laid-back, because I think it is; that actually is a trait I reserve for those who I hold in the highest regard, at least, I think so anyway. I'd love to learn how to speak French.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Tennessee is filled with beautiful girls, I'd highly reccomend it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now of course for some lyrics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing &lt;br /&gt;You believed in superstitions &lt;br /&gt;Then maybe you'd see the signs &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord knows that this world is cruel &lt;br /&gt;I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool &lt;br /&gt;and in love with somebody don't make them love you &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Must I always be waiting, waiting on you &lt;br /&gt;Must I always be playing, playing your fool &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sang your songs, I danced your dance &lt;br /&gt;I gave your friends all a chance &lt;br /&gt;Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you've been through this before &lt;br /&gt;But it's my first time so please ignore &lt;br /&gt;These next few lines because they're directed at you &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't always be waiting, waiting on you &lt;br /&gt;I can't always be playing, playing your fool &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I keep playing your part &lt;br /&gt;But it's not my scene &lt;br /&gt;Want this plot to twist &lt;br /&gt;I've had enough mystery &lt;br /&gt;Keep building it up &lt;br /&gt;Then shooting me down &lt;br /&gt;But I'm already down &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just wait a minute &lt;br /&gt;Just sitting, waiting &lt;br /&gt;Just wait a minute &lt;br /&gt;Just sitting, waiting &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well if I was in your position &lt;br /&gt;I'd put down all my amuntintion &lt;br /&gt;I'd wonder why it had taken me so long &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the lord knows that I'm not you &lt;br /&gt;and if I was I wouldn't be so cruel &lt;br /&gt;cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Must I always be waiting, waiting on you &lt;br /&gt;Must I always be playing, playing your fool</content>

    <content type="html">That's right, it's the first day of March.&lt;br /&gt;It's amazing how quickly Black History Month passes by every year :( &lt;br /&gt;Although, it is like two or three whole days shorter than every other montth.&lt;br /&gt;So I guess it really does make sense in a weird, philosophical kind of way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So today I discovered that if I want I can spend the next four years in Orange County, California.&lt;br /&gt;Yea, THE Orange County, home of Disney Land, the Jack Black movie, the popular T.V. show, Raging Waters, yuppies, Asian yuppies, beaches, and a host of other happy and fun things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two hours late?..........Two hours late!...............TWO HOURS LATE?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could this happen? We were SO CLOSE to a 6 DAY WEEKEND.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was not to be, however.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's really horrible that the Stone Temple Pilots broke up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Driving faster in my car,&lt;br /&gt;Falling farther from just what we are &lt;br /&gt;Smoke a cigarette and lie some more&lt;br /&gt;These conversations kill - Falling faster in my car &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience laden &lt;br /&gt;Time to take a ride, it leaves today no conversation &lt;br /&gt;Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience laden &lt;br /&gt;Time to wait to long to wait to long to wait to long &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too much walkin' shoes worn thin &lt;br /&gt;Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin &lt;br /&gt;Time to catch a ride it leaves today &lt;br /&gt;Her name is what it means&lt;br /&gt;Too much walkin' shoes worn thin &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time to take her home&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversations kill&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then one of the guys from STP decided to join in this group called Velvet Revolver, they're pretty good also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a long year&lt;br /&gt;Since you've been gone&lt;br /&gt;I've been alone here&lt;br /&gt;I've grown old&lt;br /&gt;I fall to pieces, I'm falling &lt;br /&gt;Fell to pieces and I'm still falling&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time I'm falling down&lt;br /&gt;All alone I fall to pieces&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I keep a journal of memories&lt;br /&gt;I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe&lt;br /&gt;I fall to pieces, I'm falling&lt;br /&gt;Fell to pieces and I'm still falling&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the years I've tried&lt;br /&gt;With more to go&lt;br /&gt;Will the memories die&lt;br /&gt;I'm waiting&lt;br /&gt;Will I find you&lt;br /&gt;Can I find you&lt;br /&gt;We're falling down&lt;br /&gt;I'm falling</content>

    <content type="html">That's right, today I had the distinct pleasure of watching the Robert DeNiro/Dakota Fanning thriller Hide and Seek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought it was pretty good,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heather hated it,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and Shayna gave it mixed reviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I guess actually all of that happened yesterday, it's already Sunday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So today, I'm going to go bowling&lt;br /&gt;for a good cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The proceeds, it turns out, benefit Systic &lt;br /&gt;Fibrosis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I also learned how to play that Coldplay song, The Scientist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now for the lyrical stylings of Chingy and J/Weav&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We started off casual; walks through the park&lt;br /&gt;Candle light dinners by dark, I'm thinkin smart (smart)&lt;br /&gt;Of course she might think I'm in a rush&lt;br /&gt;To touch, clutch and be up, but baby I ain't on that stuff&lt;br /&gt;Dropped her off and told her call me up, we can talk&lt;br /&gt;Conversate about political subjects whatever's thought&lt;br /&gt;So I zoomed off, lookin by and my phone rang&lt;br /&gt;It was her in the shower, (she said) she said "I couldn't do without ya"&lt;br /&gt;Then I said. . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(You, could, roll, wit, me)&lt;br /&gt;You call if you wanna rollll wit me&lt;br /&gt;(If you was my baby)&lt;br /&gt;I'm only one call away&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then some Nirvana, they're good stuff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monkey see, monkey do (I don't know why). &lt;br /&gt;I'd rather be dead than cool. (I don't know why). &lt;br /&gt;Every line ends in rhyme (I don't know why). &lt;br /&gt;Less is more, love is blind (I don't know why).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay.&lt;br /&gt;Staaaaaaaaaaaay Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.&lt;br /&gt;Staaaaaaaaaaaay Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.&lt;br /&gt;Staaaaaaaaaaaay Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give an inch, take a smile (I don't know why).&lt;br /&gt;Fashion shifts, fashion style (I don't know why). &lt;br /&gt;Throw it out and keep it in (I don't know why). &lt;br /&gt;Have to have perfect skin (I don't know why).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay.&lt;br /&gt;Staaaaaaaay Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.&lt;br /&gt;Staaaaaaaay Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.&lt;br /&gt;Staaaaaaaay Awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.</content>

    <content type="html">I haven't updated in.....a long time.&lt;br /&gt;So much has happened.&lt;br /&gt;Like, I came back from California.&lt;br /&gt;School started.&lt;br /&gt;And then there was Christmas..&lt;br /&gt;New Year's...&lt;br /&gt;I turned 17...&lt;br /&gt;Valentine's Day...&lt;br /&gt;President's Day...&lt;br /&gt;And then there was February 22nd, when I decided to update my live journal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Holidays&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All is quiet on New Year's day &lt;br /&gt;A world in white gets underway &lt;br /&gt;I want to be with you, be with you, night and day &lt;br /&gt;Nothing changes on New Year's day &lt;br /&gt;On New Year's day &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and another interesting thing happened between my last update and this one&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I discovered the Eagles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was standing &lt;br /&gt;All alone against the world outside &lt;br /&gt;You were searching &lt;br /&gt;For a place to hide &lt;br /&gt;Lost and lonely &lt;br /&gt;Now you've given me the will to survive&lt;br /&gt;Love will keep us alive&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And John Legend &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Girl, I'm in love with you, &lt;br /&gt;This ain't the honey moon, &lt;br /&gt;Past the infatuation phase, &lt;br /&gt;Right in the thick of love, &lt;br /&gt;At times we get sick of love, &lt;br /&gt;It seems like we argue everyday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I misbehaved, &lt;br /&gt;And you've made your mistakes, &lt;br /&gt;And we both still got room left to grow. &lt;br /&gt;And though love sometimes hurts, &lt;br /&gt;I still put you first, &lt;br /&gt;And we'll make this thing work, &lt;br /&gt;But I think we should take it slow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're just ordinary people, &lt;br /&gt;We don't know which way to go, &lt;br /&gt;Cause we're ordinary people, &lt;br /&gt;Maybe we should take it slow, take it slow. &lt;br /&gt;This time we'll take it slow, take it slow. &lt;br /&gt;This time we'll take it slow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This ain't a movie, no. &lt;br /&gt;No fairy tale conclusion, ya'll, &lt;br /&gt;It gets more confusing everyday. &lt;br /&gt;Sometimes it's heaven sent, &lt;br /&gt;Then we head back to hell again. &lt;br /&gt;We kiss then we make up on the way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hang up, you call, &lt;br /&gt;We rise and we fall, &lt;br /&gt;And we feel like just walking away, &lt;br /&gt;As our love advances, &lt;br /&gt;We take second chances, &lt;br /&gt;Though it's not a fantasy, &lt;br /&gt;I still want you to stay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're just ordinary people, &lt;br /&gt;We don't know which way to go, &lt;br /&gt;Cause we're ordinary people, &lt;br /&gt;Maybe we should take it slow, take it slow. &lt;br /&gt;This time we'll take it slow, take it slow. &lt;br /&gt;This time we'll take it slow, take it slow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe we'll live and learn, &lt;br /&gt;Maybe we'll crash and burn, &lt;br /&gt;Maybe you'll stay, &lt;br /&gt;Maybe you'll leave, &lt;br /&gt;Maybe you'll return. &lt;br /&gt;Maybe another fight. &lt;br /&gt;Maybe we won't survive. &lt;br /&gt;Maybe we'll grow, we never know, &lt;br /&gt;Baby, you and I&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm gonna try and update a lot more often, and be a lot more specific about what actually happens&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like for example, today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to school.&lt;br /&gt;I described the ancient art of square dancing to an eager english class.&lt;br /&gt;I left school.&lt;br /&gt;I decided to update my live journal after seeing a really good one&lt;br /&gt;It listed ten random things&lt;br /&gt;Nine places visited.&lt;br /&gt;Eight things they wanted to do before they die&lt;br /&gt;Seven ways to win their heart&lt;br /&gt;Six things they believe in&lt;br /&gt;Five things they're afraid of&lt;br /&gt;Four favorite bedroom items.&lt;br /&gt;Three things they do everyday&lt;br /&gt;Two things they are trying not to do&lt;br /&gt;And one person they want to see right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well now I guess I have to answer that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ten random things:&lt;br /&gt;My favorite color is blue.&lt;br /&gt;I'm afraid of telling the truth, or of dying in a really stupid way, like accidentally running into a beehive.&lt;br /&gt;I like fast cars.&lt;br /&gt;It's been years since I've been to the zoo.&lt;br /&gt;I'm convinced that, if they could, everyone would move to San Diego.&lt;br /&gt;I love how there's a song for just about every situation.&lt;br /&gt;And a Seinfeld episode for so many situations (wait so does that count as one random thing or two?)&lt;br /&gt;I love dancing&lt;br /&gt;Oh and rap music that they play at dances, I love that too.&lt;br /&gt;There's nothing better than the sweet morning air blowing across your face (I wish that was a quote)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nine places I've visited&lt;br /&gt;London&lt;br /&gt;Paris&lt;br /&gt;Zurich, and

want to do before I die&lt;br /&gt;Live for three-hundred years&lt;br /&gt;Climb Mount Everest&lt;br /&gt;Go to outer space&lt;br /&gt;Write a book&lt;br /&gt;Be President&lt;br /&gt;Discover the meaning of life&lt;br /&gt;Own a professional basketball or football team&lt;br /&gt;Act in a movie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seven ways to win my heart&lt;br /&gt;Jump me in a parking lot and tear it out of me&lt;br /&gt;Face me in one of my weekly jousting matches and convince me to not wear my armor, then pierce me with the lance and take out my heart&lt;br /&gt;Get a medical degree and falsely advise me that I am in need of a heart transplant, then take it&lt;br /&gt;Wow this is getting really morbid...umm....I guess you could just try askin real nice...&lt;br /&gt;Be passionate and stuff&lt;br /&gt;And love me for who I be, and unconditionally &lt;br /&gt;(ok did I make it through that without sounding like a total wuss?....good)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Six things I believe in&lt;br /&gt;A thing called love &lt;br /&gt;God&lt;br /&gt;everyone has a purpose&lt;br /&gt;the power of the color blue&lt;br /&gt;you&lt;br /&gt;me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Five things I'm afraid

/&gt;Four favorite bedroom items&lt;br /&gt;My bed&lt;br /&gt;Map of India&lt;br /&gt;A book by Kurt Vonnegut&lt;br /&gt;My alarm clock (I wouldn't be able to wake up on time and leave home...without

/&gt;Burn out&lt;br /&gt;Fade away&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One person I'd really like to see right now&lt;br /&gt;Why answer, the person I'd really like to see probably knows, and, really, no one else should, right? right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there were three&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yea, that's right, just about three months left until.....&lt;br /&gt;Prom? Graduation? Senior Week? May? Dance Recital?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yea, about three months left until all of those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day has gone by so quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In just three hours, I'll be in the middle of dance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yea I forgot to mention that, I take dance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Street!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yea that's in May too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damn I still haven't run out of room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even after skipping all these lines, and writing so many more lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright so tomorrow is Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what will happen yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But here's hopin it's good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh by the way, pick up on the Staind reference in the subject title?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been awhile since I could &lt;br /&gt;Hold my head up high&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;etc., etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And everything I can remember.</content>
