Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Italicize the songs when someone guesses correctly. Whoever gets it first gets their name next to it.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
#1: I remember thinking, I'll go on forever only knowing I'll see you again
bfallon
#2: You think you are going to take her away, with your money and your cocaine
#3: Will you count me in, I've been awake for a while now
#4: I drink you up, for every drop of you is sacred every drop I drink you up
#5: Come on baby leave some change behind
bfallon
#6: Oh, my head lay back on the seating
#7: Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming around
honeybrown
#8: It's down to this I've got to make this life make sense
#9: I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
#10: All the waiters in your grand cafe leave their tables when you blink
#11: So they sank me in I saw you again today, I had to turn my heart away
#12: From the bright sunny south to the way I was sent
#13: To change the world, start with one step
bfallon
#14: Did you see the face on a TV screen, coming at you every Sunday
#15: Sweeeeeeeeeeet emotion, sweeeeeeet emotion talk about things that nobody cares (if you don't know this one don't ever talk to me again)
honeybrown
#16: You got your ball you got your chain
honeybrown
#17: He wakes up in the morning, does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling (same goes for this one!)
honeybrown
#18: I'm not suppose to be scared of anything but I don't know where I am
#19: Well the key to my survival was never in much doubt
honeybrown
#20: Every time you come around I hear that lonesome sound

So Quiet In Here
Mar. 26th, 2006 | 12:19 am
mood: Painful
music: Van Morrison - So Quiet In Here
And your heart beating close to mine
And the evening fading in the candle glow
This must be what it's all about
Oh this must be what it's all about
This must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here. so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, yeah, so peaceful in here
All my struggling in the world
And so many dreams that don't come true
Step back, put it all away
It don't matter, it don't matter anymore
Oh this must be what paradise is like
This must be what paradise is like
It's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here
It's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here
A glass of wine with some friends
Talking into the wee hours of the dawn
Sit back and relax your mind
This must be, this must be, what it's all about
This must be what paradise is like
Oh this must be what paradise is like
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
Big ships out in the night
And we're floating across the waves
Sailing for some other shore
Where we can be what we wanna be
Oh this must be what paradise is like
This must be what paradise is like
Baby it's so quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, so peaceful in here
So quiet in here, you can hear, it's so quiet..."
I can't stop listening to this song. For the past week I have been playing it over and over again.
The constant drum in the background, like the thumping of my heart in my chest. And in that instant where it skips a beat and everything is quiet, I could live an entire life time in that instant. The instant where it's so quiet and you find that paradise you seek.
I love the piano too, it's so soothing and warming. Like a soft voice whispering in your ear.
The song, is called "So Quiet In Here" and it is by the one, the only Mr. Van Morrison.
If you wish to enjoy it as much as I do, you can find it here: So Quiet In Here

To Love or not To Love
Mar. 2nd, 2006 | 11:30 pm
mood: Alone
music: Dave Matthews Band - When The World Ends
So I'm pondering the question, "It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." I would like other's opinions on this statement.
Here is mine:
Are you nuts? The heart wrenching that goes along with losing a love is the worst pain in the world. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. It's like somone tells you to try crack, so you do. You try it for a few days, say a week. But then, right as you get addicted to it and can't live without it they take it away from you! And move it to say Canada. Just an example to portray that the crack is completely out of your reach for any forseable future and you never know when you are going to get to hold the crack again, or touch it or taste it or be with it.
The pain that the memories of that love leave behind are pure torture 24/7 for the whole time that you are apart. It makes it even worse when you can't even at least have daily contact.
I await your thoughts.

mood: alone
music: Rascal Flatts - These Days
If I was a verse in a song, this would be it:
"I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just incase
Go to bed
Dream of you
That’s what I’m doing these days."

A Poem
Jan. 8th, 2006 | 02:58 am
music: Rascal Flatts - These Days
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still —
From the torrent, or the fountain —
From the red cliff of the mountain —
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by —
From the thunder, and the storm —
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view —

My Christmas Wish
Dec. 24th, 2005 | 02:57 am
Dear Santa,
This is my Christmas wish this year. I know it's completely selfish but I really don't care. I am probably one of the most unselfish people in most cases so I am not going to feel the least bit bad about being selfish on this occasion.
For Christmas this year I need someone to love. It's not a request or a want, it's a NEED. I need someone to make me smile, to hold, to touch, to feel and to be near. I need someone that I can hold so tight I can feel her heart beating in her chest. So tight that my heart starts to beat in unison with her's and they literally beat as one. And then, when we are apart all I have to do is put my hand on my chest and feel that thump, thump and know that it is her heart that is beating inside of me. I need someone to come home to and be able to kiss on the forehead and be happy together.
I need this Santa, now more than ever. And if you can't bring me what I need this Christmas then just skip right over me because there is nothing else in your satchel that can make up for not having anyone to love. Don't bother coming back next year either unless you can meet my needs.
Sincerely,
Mark

I've been trying to figure out why I am not excited about the holidays this year. And haven't been really the past couple of years either. I use to love Christmas with the lights and the snow and all the colors. But I haven't been excited about it for a while now.
Holidays are suppose to be the time that you spend with the ones you love. I am going home in a few days to visit my family, I love them and they love me, but it's not the same. It's not the same as someone TO love. I have no one to love this holiday season, or any season for that matter. There is no joy or happiness to have if you can't share this time with the one that you love. There is no first Christmas together, no romantic time spent by a fire place, no giving of gifts that would bring a smile to her face. Or the starting of new traditions or decorating together.
Instead, I go home to my family who, incidentally don't even want to celebrate Christmas this year. So if they don't want to celebrate Christmas and I don't have anyone to celebrate with then what's the point? What's the point in me putting on a happy face and pretending that everything is fine?

melancholy

Artist: Heart
Album: Alive In Seattle
Title: Alone
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone

Name 5 of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick 5 people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not use things that someone else has already used. Tag 5 people on your list
1) Sitting by a fire on a cool autum night. Talking with family and friends and roasting marshmellows and making smores.
2) Seeing a shooting star at the exact moment you happen to look up and thinking about someone who makes you smile because you know they are the reason you saw it.
3) Doing little things that make people you care about happy. Sending them a quick e-mail or msg just to say "hi" or something to let them know you are thinking about them.
4) Driving around in my car with the windows down listening to some good music and singing at the top of my lungs.
5) Drinking a glass of nice cold pepsi on a cool night while smoking a good cigar.
