There’s a place I go
When I’m alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m fallin
That’s where I’m goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won’t let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

-Newton Faulkner (Dream Catch Me)

Just don't give up i am workin' it out
Please don't give in i won't let you down
It messed me up need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around

Hey whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?

-Adam Lambert (What do you want from me)

'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me

She calls to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal

'Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen

-Tal Bachman (1999!) (She's So High)

What the hell is wrong with the world today?
Two days ago, i saw firetrucks and paramedics in 3 different places, not to mention an overturned car.
My good friend got his 3-month old laptop stolen.
Why is there war? Did we all not watch rush hour? where jackie chan sings?
"what is it good for? absolutely nothhhing! Hoo-haa- War!"
What is with the fact that human beings need conflict?
Why is it that we have to send people like one of my teammates, Jeff Ballew to Iraq?

Why is everything that we do for selfish reasons?
Whens the last time YOU did something good for a completely non selfish reason?
A time when you received utility (happiness) from just watching someone else be happy? Are you saying "you look nice today" to make that person happy? or are you doing so to get something out of them later? Are you nice to your teacher purely because you want to be? or because you hope they will be more lenient in grading?
We live in a selfish world and it sucks that i find myself acting selfishly in so many ways. Madness.

Why dont we all just calm down, take a breath, and sort things out?
Have we any idea how much crap the world could avoid if people just understood each other?
Why would someone have low enough morals to steal an innocent college freshman's laptop? why?
With this much technology, why are there more people getting hurt?

*sigh...
Cmon guys. World Peace. iLul. When that happens, thats when we pretty much know that 1. its fake. and 2. whoever brought "world peace" is probably the Antichrist.
just saying. not that we shouldn't try to better the world... but think about it. the devil's got to earn our trust somehow, and what better way to do it then to deceive us with something good? happens all the time.

But anyway, i make this post to reach out to a friend, who needs to take better care of his stuff.
and also, to gain some support for our troops.

"Evil Empire salutes 47Driver (Lt. Jeff Ballew) and Birdman (Keith Porter) on their service in Afghanistan and Iraq! God speed brothers!"

i encourage everyone to follow Jeff "47Driver" Ballew's almost daily blog. He is my teammate, who also flys 47 chinooks (CH47's) , and has been called to service for a few months. Here is a link to his blog. click follow!

and our team's Youth Commander, Keith "Birdman" Porter is probably undergoing basic as i type this. (no, hes not in iraq yet. lol.)


Good On, Sir!

This is for the record.
History is written by the victor.
History is filled with liars.
If he lives, and we die his truth will be written-
and ours is lost.
[He] (name not revealed) will be a hero. Cause all you need to change the world, is one good lie and a river of blood.
He's about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history.
His truth will be the truth.
But only if he lives, and we die.

i love that ^^
Edited: originally this was about Murphy's Law.
But I'd actually rather use this space to talk about the poem below, Flint Strikes Wood.
Just one thing. Im glad that the poem has no ending ^^ yet.

At the same time, i do believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason.
There are no, NO, coincidences.
God has a plan for everything.
Everything you and I hear, see, breathe?
It was put there for a reason.
I may or may not have talked about this before, but it cannot be stressed enough.

If we knew each other's secrets, what comforts we should find.

^Quote by John Churton Collins.
Saw it at the end of a show called Criminal Minds.
Assess the validity of this quote.
Well, i dont know. If everyone had no secrets, then everything we do would be exposed, but since we already know what people are "hiding" we would not be embarassed or ashamed. There would be no surprises, and only some spontaneity. I like to think that it would be like a completely free world, yet boring at the same time.
When i heard the quote, and up until now, i had planned to write about how i agreed with it. Actually, i only kind of agree. I like to find out things. I enjoy expressing myself in ways that could not be done if I didnt have secrets.
What do you think?
