American Life

I'm not myself when you're around
I'm not myself standing in a crowd
I'm not myself and I don't know how
I'm not myself at all...

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don't know who I'm supposed to be
Don't really know if I should give a damn
When you're around I don't know who I am

I always wished that I could find
Someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot
That I was special too

I always wished that I could find
Someone as talented as you
But in the process I forgot
That I was just as good as you

There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed I'd live forever
There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother it was nice

Oh mother why aren't you here with me
No one else saw the things that you could see
I'm trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father you know I'm not so free

I've got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for

Kitty

My cat is sitting on the window sill, watching the children run by. It's a breezy warm day. We're happy.

I blog about another day
Who reads this stuff, anyway?
It doesn't matter what I say
Hey hey hey

Finals are coming up next week. The semester is ending and the summer is beginning. I am looking forward to some lazy summer days. I also want to take a summer course online from STCC.
