la vita è bella

weeping

Wed, 08 Nov 2006 23:40:22 GMT

i knew a man who lived in fear
it was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near
behind his house, a secret place
was the shadow of the demon he would never face

he built a wall of steel and flame
and men with guns, to keep it tame
then, standing back, he made it plain
that the nightmare would never ever rise again
but the fear and the fire and the guns remain

it doesn't matter now
it's over anyhow
he tells the world that it's sleeping
but as the night came round
i heard its lonely sound
it wasn't roaring, it was weeping

and then one day, the neighbors came
they were curious to know about the smoke and flame
they stood around outside the wall
but of course there was nothing to be heard at all

"my friends", he said, "we've reached our coal
the threat is under firm control
as long as peace and order reign
i'll be damned if i can see a reason to explain
why the fear and the fire and the guns remain"

it doesn't matter now
it's over anyhow
he tells the world that it's sleeping
but as the night came round
i heard its lonely sound
it wasn't roaring, it was weeping...

eventful evening

Sat, 21 Oct 2006 15:47:18 GMT

ok so let's discuss last night, shall we? sarah and i went to go to the midnight movie, where we met a nice chap by the name of zach. we talked with him for awhile and then enjoyed CRY BABY, that lovely 80's movie with johnny depp <3 love it. anywho. after that we went to go pick up her novio. and on the way home we may have been involved in a mass evacuation of a parking lot of a club (yeah, you guessed it...chubby's). anywho, we think there was another shooting or something. maybe a stabbing, but someone got hurt hardcore. so we were leaving, forced to go in a direction opposite of where we live. so we took the scenic route...through french town lol. lionel pointed out some drug dealers, and where the prostitutes hang. always nice to know. ick. remind me never to drive through french town again. it wasn't scary or anything, but i'd rather not be there after dark lol. poor sarah, she was a little nervous i think. i guess if iwas anyone other than the driver i would be too. 4 people almost hit my car leaving the parking lot. craziness. so that's my evening. eventful, yet, not really the good kind of eventful lol.

other than that...I AM DONE WITH MIDTERMS. and that is exciting. and i'm going to go read the ny times and listen to some josh groban and maybe drink some tea. i need a coffee maker. i like coffee. maybe i'll go get some today. anyone up for a trip to the vintage store? sarrrahhh? lol.

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).

Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

just one year of love
is better than a lifetime alone
one sentimental moment in your arms
is like a shooting star right through my heart
it’s always a rainy day without you
i’m a prisoner of love inside you -
i’m falling apart all around you - yeah
my heart cries out to your heart
i’m lonely but you can save me
my hand reaches up for your hand
i’m cold but you light the fire in me
my lips search for your lips
i’m hungry for your touch
there’s so much left unspoken
and all I can do is surrender
to the moment just surrender
no one ever told me
that love would hurt so much
and pain is so close to pleasure
and all i can do is surrender
to your love
just surrender to your love
just one year of love
is better than a lifetime alone
one sentimental moment in your arms
is like a shooting star right through my heart
it's always a rainy day without you
i'm a prisoner of love inside you
i'm falling apart all around you
and all i can do is surrender

...once i thought my innocence was gone, now i know that happiness goes on. that's where you found me when you put your arms around me. i haven't been there for the longest time...i'm that voice you're hearing in the hall. and the greatest miracle of all is how i need you and how you needed me too. that hasn't happened for the longest time. maybe this won't last very long but you feel so right, i could be wrong. maybe i've been hoping too hard, but i've come this far and it's more than i hoped for. who knows how much further we'll go on. maybe i'll be sorry when you're gone. i'll take my chances, i forgot how nice romance is. i haven't been there for the longest time...

do you realize
that you have the most beautiful face
do you realize
we're floating in space
do you realize
that happiness makes you cry
do you realize
that everyone you know someday will die
and instead of saying all of your goodbyes
let them know you realize that life goes fast
it's hard to make the good things last
you realize the sun doesn't go down
it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round
do you realize
that everyone you know someday will die
and instead of saying all of your goodbyes
let them know you realize that life goes fast
ti's hard to make the good things last
you realize the sun doesn't go down
it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round
do you realize
that you have the most beautiful face

goodbye my lover

Tue, 24 Jan 2006 05:14:03 GMT

did i disappoint you or let you down?
should i be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'cause i saw the end before we'd begun,
yes i saw you were blinded and i knew i had won.
so i took what's mine by eternal right.
took your soul out into the night.
it may be over but it won't stop there,
i am here for you if you'd only care.
you touched my heart you touched my soul.
you changed my life and all my goals.
and love is blind and that i knew when,
my heart was blinded by you.
i've kissed your lips and held your head.
shared your dreams and shared your bed.
i know you well, i know your smell.
i've been addicted to you.

goodbye my lover.
goodbye my friend.
you have been the one.
you have been the one for me.

i am a dreamer but when i wake,
you can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
and as you move on, remember me,
remember us and all we used to be
i've seen you cry, i've seen you smile.
i've watched you sleeping for a while.
i'd be the father of your child.
i'd spend a lifetime with you.
i know your fears and you know mine.
we've had our doubts but now we're fine,
and i love you, i swear that's true.
i cannot live without you.

goodbye my lover.
goodbye my friend.
you have been the one.
you have been the one for me.

and i still hold your hand in mine.
in mine when i'm asleep.
and i will bear my soul in time,
when i'm kneeling at your feet.
goodbye my lover.
goodbye my friend.
you have been the one.
you have been the one for me.
i'm so hollow, baby, i'm so hollow.
i'm so, i'm so, i'm so hollow.

story of this man who decided not to breathe...he turned red then blue then purple...so colorful indeed...no matter how his friends begged and pleaded he would not concede...now the man is dead you see...cause every man should know you got to breathe...

but oh god, under the weight of life things seem brighter on the other side...oh god, but under the weight of life things seem much brighter on the other side...no way...

you see this monkey sitting up in his tree until one day he decided to climb down to the city...but look at him now, tired and drunk...the monkey's living in the street...as good as dead you see...cause every monkey should know, stay up in your fucking tree...

but oh god, under the weight of life things seem brighter on the other side...

so....yeah...

Tue, 27 Sep 2005 22:05:01 GMT

so i should be studying...but i'm not...so....yeah...
i really like this song...it's called "fix you" by coldplay...i guess it kind of fits how i'm feeling...a bit...

"when you try your best but you don't succeed
when you get what you want but not what you need
when you feel so tired but you can't sleep
stuck in reverse
and the tears come streaming down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
when you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you
and high up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but if you never try you'll never know
just what you're worth
lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you
tears stream down your face
when you lose something you can not replace
tears stream down your face
and i...
tears stream down your face
i promise you i will learn from my mistakes
tears stream down your face
and i...
lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you"

i also like how on itunes it tells you the last time you played a song...i haven't played "when you say you love me" since feb. 20th, 2005 at 12:55 am...good times...that was a time when i could relate to this song...

"like the sound of silence calling i hear your voice and suddenly i'm falling, lost in dream...like the echoes of our souls are meeting, you say those words, my heart stops beating, i wonder what it means...what could it be that comes over me, at times i can't move, at times i can hardly breathe...when you say you love me the world goes still, so still inside and, when you say you love me, for a moment there's no one else alive...you're the one i've always thought of, i don't know how but i feel sheltered in your love, you're where i belong...and when you're with me if i close my eyes there are times i swear i feel like i can fly, for a moment in time, somewhere between the heavens and earth, i'm frozen in time oh when you say those words...when you say you love me, the world goes still so still inside and, when you say you love me, for a moment there's no one else alive...and this journey that we're on, how far we've come and i celebrate every moment...and when you say you love me, that's all you have to say, i'll always feel this way...when you say you love me the world goes still, so still inside and, when you say you love me for in that moment i know why i'm alive...when you say you love me...when you say you love me do you know how i love you."

hm...yeah...can't say that anymore...

i'm procrastinating...'nuff said

this past week i haven't really been myself...i miss my best friend of life lol...i miss all the good times we had this summer...i just miss this summer...i miss how i felt this summer =(

i was listening to "you never know" earlier today by dmb and i forgot how much i really like that song and how much i really like the lyrics...so...enjoy...

"sitting still as stone watching, watching people walking by me. wondering why no one ever stops to talk or thinks about it. if they ever did. what if god shuffled by one day we might see, doing not a thing, breathing just to breathe, we might find some reason. but rushing around seems what's wrong with the world. don't lose the dreams inside your head, they'll only be there till your dead, dream. lying on the roof counting the suns that fill the sky. i wonder is someone in the heavens looking back down on me. i'll never know. so much space to believe. funny, when you're small the moon follows the car. does no one but you see, hey the moon is chasing me. i worried if i looked away she'd be gone. dont' lose the dreams inside your head, they'll only be there till your dead, dream. walking through the wood, no cares in the world. the world has to come to play, she's all mine just for a day. there's not a moment to lose in the game. don't let the troubles in your head steal too much time, you'll soon be dead, so play. all fall down, it won't be so long now. out of the darkness comes light like a flash, you think you can you think you can. sometimes that is the problem. dream litte darling, dream. spinning on the wind, a leaf fell from the limb. but every day should be a good day to die. all fall down, it won't be too long now. every fire dies. i find it hard to explain how i got here, i think i can i think i can. then again, i will falter. dream. i think i can i think i can. i think i can, i think i can. dream little darling, dream. spinning on the wind, a leaf fell from the limb."

Sun, 04 Sep 2005 21:58:21 GMT

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 01:22:15 GMT

so...i'm sitting in my room in my new apartment...i really love my roommates! i already knew one of them rocked but i guess i'm just uber super deeduper lucky because the jenn and carolyn are awesome too!

anywho...what's new and/or exciting...hm...i really miss my best friend lol. liz, if you're reading this i miss you haha...i was just thinking about last monday and how much that morning really sucked lol but now i realize that no matter how far apart we are we're still gonna have this amazing friendship...and it's gonna be good...plus we have that lunch on 4/4/25 to plan haha...right? was that the date? correct me if i'm wrong lol.

yaknow who else i miss...britt...not that he reads this though lol...it's weird when you see someone so often, you really become accustom to seeing them every day...and then you don't...it sucks, especially when you heart them! i really wish i could talk to him more...but for some reason he's against calling...and we're never online at the same time...really sucks...really really sucks... .:sigh:. i don't know how much more i can take...i know it hasn't been too long...so maybe i should just shut up.

i've been listening to these coldplay songs like nobody's business recently...i don't know the titles but here are some random lyrics...

"hold my head inside your hands
i need someone who understands
i need someone, someone who hears
for you i've waited all these years
for you i'd wait till kingdom come
until my day, my day is done
and say a poem and set me free
just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me"

"and the tears come streaming down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
when you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse
lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you
and high up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but if you never try you'll never know
just what you're worth"

ahhh!!

Mon, 18 Jul 2005 21:41:38 GMT

where should i begin...hmm....well this weekend was AMAZING...liz and i went to allison's for the weekend because the three of us were going to two (yeah that's right...count 'em) TWO dave matthews band concerts...which btw were AMAZING...and let me just say that the first night had the bestest songs of life...you gotta love that, but since we were on the lawn we couldn't really see too well so we decided the second night to get there mega early and get in the very very front of the lawn...and we did...and no one was in front of us...soooo amazing...oh and did i mention that allison got us free tickets the second night! and they were VIP! so liz and allison and myself decided that we were offically the first people let into the concert the second night because the guy letting people the VIP in was reallllly nice and he let us in early...so we just got luck i suppose (thanks again allison!)...but anyways that's not the good part...i mean seeing dave and stefan in concert was a heck of a lot of fun but i mean wait till you hear this! we were driving off after the concert and we hear these sirens and liz was driving and she was about to turn and she's like where are they coming from? and then a cop escort drives up next to us WITH THE BAND'S TOUR BUSES!! and allsion and liz get a glimpse of carter (and of course he's smiling...he always is) and then we were behind them cuz they turned the same way we were gonna turn and we pass this all black tour bus and guess who's sitting in the front of the bus? DAVE MATTHEWS!!! well...we roll down the windows and we're playing some dmb and the bus stops next to us and the bus driver sees us freakin out (cuz i definitely made eye contact with him...he was kinda creepy lol) and we had a 'we <3 dmb' sign in the car and i believe the bus driver saw it cuz allison thinks he told dave because when she turned back around to look he was looking into the car!!! so liz is excited now because dave matthews looked at her car lol..i know we're retards but seriously...what is the luck right? anywho...we're freaks and i believe we've come to terms with that but seriuolsy...this weekend was so much fun and i can't wait for next year!!

i heart dmb, but most of all i heart my friends...and liz and allison were the bestest!! and we had so much fun!!!
