Side note:

Have I by chance happened to have mention how over rated life is?

Goodbye

I'm sure you are there, somewhere. Thought I would at least say hey. Sorry we may not have talked in a while, I'm sure you know how these things are...life enjoys running circles around us throwing out confusion as if we were at some tacky Mardi Gra parade.

Why waste time and simultaneously ruin the moment?

I suppose it would be best to simply say hello and then part to our very separate ways.

New Years Eve

I really don't have anything worth saying that hasn't already been said before, therefore I'll just borrow the words of a song that puts things rather nicely.


************

It's New Years Eve and I'm full of empty promises,
I half pretend to keep this time, just like last year.
The band is loud and I'm wandering the shadows,
wishing I was never here.
I persevere.
A crowded room, these whitewashed tombs,
they raise their glasses high, they kiss the past goodbye.

This New Years Eve, I'm waiting for tomorrow.
My heart is on my sleeve,
and yes I still believe, this New Years Eve,
will turn out better than before,
I'm holding on, still holding out,
until they close the door... on me.

It's New Years Eve and I feel my insecurities,
are haunting me like ghosts, this sinking quicksand.
And then with thunderous praise and lofty adoration,
a second passes by, yet nothing changes.
I hate my skin, this grave I'm standing in.
Another change of years, and I wish I wasn't here.

A year goes by and I'm staring at my watch again,
and I dig deep this time,
for something greater than I've ever been,
life to ancient wineskins.
And I was blind but now I see.

This New Years Eve, something must change me inside,
I'm crooked and misguided, and tired of being tired.
This New Years Eve, I'm waiting for tomorrow.
My heart is on my sleeve, and yes I still believe, in You.


-Five Iron Frenzy, "New Years Eve"
