Um...well i'm currently a freshman in college, looking to get a double major in english and music and a minor in creative writing and eventually turn that maybe into a masters or higher in creative writing. I play bass guitar but i'm not in a band (i don't think i'm quite good enough for that yet)i got out of the serving job and now I'm working as a bill collector for a shipping company. It really isnt as bad as it sounds, i only call businesses and it pays pretty well. I am currently engaged to an amazing man but the wedding probably won't be until at least april 2008 (we're both poor as fuck). I drink ocassionally with friends and i smoke...well i think that's it.*i recently heard some very sad news from an old friend, he's dying of cancer. his family created a website about it and i just wanted to give everyone a chance to see it, cause i think that it should be known and cared about. here's the website: www.caringbridge.org/visit/grantlindbergI'm very sad to report as of April 18, 2007 Grant Lindberg passed away from cancer.************************************************************************************************************************All around me are familiar facesWorn out places, worn out facesBright and early for their daily racesGoing nowhere, going nowhereTheir tears are filling up their glassesNo expression, no expressionHide my head I want to drown my sorrowNo tomorrow, no tomorrowAnd I find it kinda funnyI find it kinda sadThe dreams in which I'm dyingAre the best I've ever hadI find it hard to tell youI find it hard to takeWhen people run in circlesIt's a very, very mad world mad worldChildren waiting for the day they feel goodHappy Birthday, Happy BirthdayMade to feel the way that every child shouldSit and listen, sit and listenWent to school and I was very nervousNo one knew me, no one knew meHello teacher tell me what's my lessonLook right through me, look right through meAnd I find it kinda funnyI find it kinda sadThe dreams in which I'm dyingAre the best I've ever hadI find it hard to tell youI find it hard to takeWhen people run in circlesIt's a very, very mad world ... mad worldEnlarging your worldMad world************************************************************************************************************************she shinesin a world full of uglinessshe matters when everything is meaninglessfragileshe doesn't see her beautyshe tries to get awaysometimesit's just that nothing seems worth savingI can't watch her slip awayI won't let you fall apartshe reads the minds of all the people as they pass her byhoping someone can seeif I could fix myself I'd - but it's too late for meI wont let you fall apartwe'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hideI'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side...but they keep waiting...and picking...it's something I have to doI was there, toobefore everything elseI was like you************************************************************************************************************************I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a holeThe old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
