At least, that's what Adam Duritz says. He's so funny. He has a friend named Emily. I implied that it was my Emily, but was informed that it wasn't. It's kinda old news now, though. He hasn't posted since 8.14.04.
When they feel like they don't have enough control over a situation, people get angry. Somehow it can be a powerful emotion, makes people feel safer. And if you can justify it, whoa, how righteous can you get? I guess all emotions can be powerful. You make me sad, you make me happy, you make me angry, blah blah blah.
My pet peave is people who don't take responsibility for their emotional well-being. Always looking for someone else to make them happy. Some people carry around a lot of excess bagage. Maybe we all do. Some people just handle(hide) it better than others?
I'm still trying to get my class schedule right. A couple of my classes fell through and I need to make sure I have enough courses to make full-time status. But the point is that I am feeling that new-semester high and it feels good. Each semester offers so much. It's like a new beginning. I feel like singing!
Vicki told me that she heard this song and thought of me. She said this song was well suited for my voice. The song is Cold Cold Heart, and was originally sung by Hank Williams. She hardly knows me, yet she knows me all too well.
I've tried so hard my dear to show
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad an' blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart
There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled
To a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart
FYI Spire is down again. They are still working on the site and expect to have "brief" downtimes of 15-30 minutes :(
The screen glows
Silence grows
I remember more
Than you know
Your sadness
Disturbs me
Yet I can't take
It away
You find comfort
In misery
I don't understand
I can't
Nobody's perfect
'Cept maybe you
I let you down
And I'm sorry
We live and we
Learn from our
Mistakes and
Misfortunes
Another chance
Will find it's way
To you I wish
The very best
Happiness love
What we deserve
In this life
Don't we
