So I remembered today just how amazing are Johnny Rzeznik's deeply emotive guitar writing and ultrasexy black leather rock'n'roll voice. Sure, he'd be nowhere today without the guy who taught him how to be a member of a band instead of a vagabond songwriter, and Robby has written some great songs, but I've got to hand it to the frontman. And I ( Read more... )

It's all just so sick, I can't keep it out of my thoughts. Murder, stealing someone's life, is one thing, but manipulating someone into suicide, stealing someone's will, is another altogether.

So my roommate has a Relient K CD and some of the songs caught my attention today, one of them being Who I Am Hates Who I've Been:

I watched the proverbial ( Read more... )

I made a discovery this morning on the shuttle: all you can know about the people around you in terms of connections is that you love them; your sense of reciprocation is solely based on their actions that make you believe they care about you. Thus, it is very important to demonstrate that you care about them -- it's all they can know.

So I offered ( Read more... )

They're students together, and though distinctly different, have a group cohesiveness and loyalty enviable for any. Their closeness makes them a real family, if unbiological. They spend all of their free time together. Their mission is to make people happy. That is exactly what I want most out of life; more than the scientific pursuit of knowledge ( Read more... )

"Long time - how goes it? Wanted to say hi & tell you about a concert of mine in Spet. Not sure if you'll be around at that time. Hope all is well -"

Yeah, it's been a long time. You know why? Because you FUCKING FUCKED UP, that's why!

How goes it? You mean, how is my life without having you around in whom to confide and on whom to depend ( Read more... )

"American Pie" by Don McLean:

A long, long time ago,
I can still remember how
That Music used to make me smile,
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February made me shiver.
With every paper, I'd deliver
Bad news on the ( Read more... )

So there was this lovely, scintillating end to the week that I was privileged to experience for three years. And while I was naive enough to believe that it could just stay eternally shiny in our memories, it certainly was not your place to besmirch it so -- I mean, I didn't, so why did you have to? It wasn't fair of you to withhold from me the ( Read more... )

... I almost killed six people today. Well, I couldn't really see, so there may have been more of the strangers. And considering the aftermath, probably more than that, too. And if Terry Pratchett's Mr. Pump (the golem)'s actuarial view of death is to be believed, then definitely more than just those.

Is it a valid excuse that some people are shiny ( Read more... )

I have to make the plans. I always end up making the plans. No one else apparently cares enough to make things happen, and if I don't make the plans, then they'll never be made (let alone implemented) and nothing will ever occur and life will suck in the most angstily emo fashion and make you want to die.

Why does no one else care? Either because ( Read more... )
