What Pattern Are You?

|

mario winans is a great singer! his new song-'i don't wanna know' or so i think it's called, is awesome. it's funny, cause i actually knew him before that song. i have a song on my playlist with him and queen latifah called 'do your thing'-i think that's it. wwwwwwwooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooo bark rules! bark stands for blackie and the rodeo kings. their song "had enough of you today" is awesome, the song suits my mood a lot! hehe! they came here for the junos and sang a cool song there too! they're coming back again here but they r like the opening act or something!
and out of your mouth (from calgary) re-did madonna's song "music". i like their version much better!

WOW! today was awesome at millenium place! see, i didn't really wanna go to millenium place to work out, but good thing i did. see i dunno if any of u caught my post 2 days ago (not the grad one, the wrestling one), and i was talking about how i saw Chirs Benoit at millenium place! well, today while i was on the "outer thigh" weight machine, i saw some guy who looked like him. i froze! then, he came closer, and IT WAS HIM!!!!!! my heart was beating soooo fast, cause well, he's a celeb to me and all! i was staring right at him, but he didn't notice-GOOD THING!! then, (he was with some guy-friend? relative? trainer?) and they stood right next to me! they were standing there for like 30 sec! man, i should have talked to him, but i was ssssssssoooooooooooooo fricken nervous! ah, man! that was brutal! then, he left and went on the treadmill, and everyone was looking at him. even john (spelling?) from our english class was there, and he was discussing with some of his friends about Chris Benoit. too bad i won't be in english tomorrow, oh well, i'll have to remember to ask John on monday about that. so, yah, then Chris dissappeared, i never saw him again-sigh! oh well, i would have said something if i saw him again! i wanted to say that he had a good match at backlash! ugggh, i even wanted to ask him about becoming a wrestling commentator-i dunno if he knows stuff on that. oh well, i didn't see anyone talk to him, maybe they were nervous too, or else didn't care. but, i heard lots of people disscussing that and all. and lots of people were looking at him! man, i wished i said something! he was right next to me! however, i do find it coincidental that i just mentioned how i saw Chris Benoit at Millenium Place (3yrs and 3months ago) on my blog 2 days ago! this is a day to remember!
that made my day! now i can say i've seen him twice, and he was standing next to me! but, i still can't say i talked to him-waaaaahhhhh!

YAY!!! CALGARY WON! I'M SO PROUD! THEY BEAT DETROIT IN THE FIRST GAME! too bad toronto, and colorado didn't win today. hopefully montreal can win tomorrow!

my printer is being an ass! it won't print in black ink, even though it is set to! ugghhhh! i hate that!

here's the list of grad songs to choose from:

TIMES LIKE THESE by the foo fighters (my choice)
TONIGHT TONIGHT by the smashing pumpkins (my 2nd choice even though it isn't really a grad song)
YOUNG by kenny chesney (3rd choice)
RIVER by garth brooks (4th choice)


now, cause half of the committee likes country, we got stuck with 2 country songs. now, this is the popular group of school so, hopefully they don't persuade their friends to choose one of those 2 country songs. well, the kenny chesney song isn't too bad, but TIMES LIKE THESE seems to suite the grad theme more!

oh, and the main course for dinner is (temporarily) chicken stuffed with ham and pineapple (hawaiian chicken). mrs. thain was going to look into that and see if she can find a new menu, hopefully she does! cause i don't want to be eating the veggie menu (i think boiled veggies and something-i can't remember the actual dish)!
but i think the dessert is a chocolate mousse with something, but i'm not exactly sure!

see, i'm ur guide to ur grad, aren't u proud?

hehe! backlash was 2 days ago! wow, it was awesome! well, parts were boring, but that's where the commentators come in (on tv). edmonton's own (wrestler-chris benoit) got a nice reception, he nicely defended his title, and won! it was great! i've seen him before in millenium place, (the first time i ever went to millenium place's wellness center) but i was too chicken to talk to him. oh well! oooh, and i saw my favourite-chris jericho, and he kicked loads of ass! it was great! i picked up the newspapers and there were pics of him-yyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy! by the way, i know i've asked some already, but do any of u get the edmonton sun? if u do, can i have sat/sun papers? yay! that was cool! man, i hope they come back soon, it would be nice to hear jericho on the mic-he's a great/funny guy! da, u missed a hot guy, well, he's a 24yr old wrestler, of which i've liked for a while, but he's good looking! but yah, ahhh, i'm smiling! sorry, it's fun to think of certain guys! i have a pic of him, hehe! sorry, just rambling about stuff! anyways, there were a bunch of 20 some/30some yr old drunk guys in the stands (near us), it was interesting! they had like 4/5 beers each! one guy lost his voice! oh well, they didn't harm me so i was good, and they made some parts go by faster! hehe! well, yah, i won't give details on backlash cause none of u would care. so, that's my blurb on the night!

|

Thanks That Was Fun by BNL

I'm learning, I'm yearning
I'm burning all your stuff, but that's not enough
I'm faking, That I'm aching
Mistaking lust for love

Thanks that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one

Did I scare you, when I dared you
And I stared you in the eye, and told you goodbye
You mocked me, It shocked me
When you walked me to the bus

Thanks that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal, not to feel - God that's dumb

Everybody knows the deal fell through
I was hoping I could just blame you
When was it that I became so soft
This sentimentality doesn't look good on me
I thought that you would be begging to be with me
I'm the one on my knees, blubbering 'please let me stay'

Deflated, and jaded
I hate it, when you call which isn't at all
I've spoken, though broken
Here's a token of my love

Thanks that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal, not to feel
God that was dumb
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal, not to feel
Thanks that was fun

Lovers In A Dangerous Time by BNL

Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This fragrant skin this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste

Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

We were lovers in a dangerous time
We were lovers in a dangerous time

It's Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland) by BNL

Speaking as a guy who's really got it going on
It's only natural
It's only me

Take it from a fella who's been round the block so many times
And knows the only parking spot that's free
It's only me

You could say I've tried everything
I'd save on the wedding ring
Who knows me half as well as me?

I'm not anti-social and it's nothing that's reproachful
It's just natural
It's only me

I can't think of anybody else I'd rather spend some one on one time with
It's not that hard to see
It's only me

I'm the me in monogamy
I'm not asking a lot of me
I give me R-E-S-P-E-C-T

And if your heart is broken
You can just do what you do best
You can just do what you do...
When your heart is broken
Just when no other will love you
Never put others above you

I thought I was using me to get to you, but this is true
I'm natural
It's only me

They say you'll never love another till you love yourself, well brother
I'm in love with everyone I see
It's only me

You could say I've tried every thing
I'd save on the wedding ring
Who knows me half as well as me?
I'm the me in monogamy
I'm not asking a lot of me
I give me R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Get In Line by BNL

Everywhere I go someone's tryin' to be my girlfriend's best friend
I'm tryin' to pretend I'm relaxed but I'm playin' castanets with my knees
I try to be cool and give her space
But a guy's always there ready to jump right up and take my place
Everyone in this room seems to want to make a big fool out of me

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ahhhhh"
Everything will be all right
If you play along

Everywhere I go there's someone in a trench coat staring at me
When I'm not at home I'm sure someone's rummaging through my trash
Whatever could they want from me?
Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?
I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ahhhhh"
Everything will be all right
This won't hurt at all

Turn it up

Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough
Everything will be all right
If you just lay off

Dictate a memo to myself
Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health
Consult contemporaries if there's some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my league
The league

Every night at the lanes someone thinks they've got a fine bead on me
I try to take three deep breaths as I lock and arm my mini-van
Everyone says I'm looking great
But it's hard to stand-up let alone to try to concentrate
I wish that everyone that I knew hadn't sold out to the man

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "Ahhhhh"
Everything will be all right
This won't hurt at all

Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough
Everything will be all right
If you just lay...
Everything will be all right
If you just lay...
Everything will be all right
If you just lay off

Another Postcard by BNL

You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees

Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam

Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me

If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great
He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate
I'm losing sleep—and it's gonna be keeping me up all night
I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight

Some chimps in hard hats, chimps are working on a chain gang
Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang
A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth
A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath

Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me

Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home
No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone
Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind
But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find

Some chimps in swimsuits
Some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats
Some chimps who love cats
I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear

Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me
Every one is every one is every one is addressed to me
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me (x4)

What a Good Boy by BNL

When I was born, they looked at me and said,
"What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy."
And when you were born, they looked at you and said,
"What a good girl, what a what a smart girl, what a pretty girl."

We've got these chains that hang around our necks
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same,
when temptation calls, we just look away.

Chorus
This name is the hairshirt I wear
and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.
This song is the cross that I bear,
bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me, be with me tonight,
I know that it isn't right, but be with me tonight.

I go to school, I write exams,
if I pass, if I fail, if I drop out,
does anyone give a damn?
And if they do, they'll soon forget 'cause it won't take much for me
to show my life ain't over yet.
I wake up scared, I wake up strange.
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change.
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
and everything around me stays the same.

Chorus

I couldn't tell you that I was wrong,
chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.
I couldn't tell you that you were right,
so instead I looked in the mirror,
watched TV, laid away all night.

We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks,
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls ...

Chorus

When I was born, they looked at me and said;
"What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy."
And when you were born, they looked at you and said;
"What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey"

The Old Apartment by BNL

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
these things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back

Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks.
This is where we used to live.

Why did they pave the lawn?
why did they change the locks?
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live

How is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I'm happy here
But this is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back
I want them back

One Week by BNL

It's been one week since you looked at me
cocked your head to the side and said I'm angry.
Five days since you laughed at me
saying get that together come back and see me.
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like Leann Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on, we're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic
Like Sting I'm Tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my
irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
that make me think the wrong thing

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean? You soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said I'm sorry
Five days since I laughed at you
and said You just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie

Jane by BNL

The girl works at the store sweet Jane St. Clair
Was dazzled by her smile while I shopped there
it wasn't long before I lived with her
I sang her songs while she dyed her hair

Jane, divided, but I can't decide what side I'm on
Jane decided only cowards stay, while traitors run
Jane, Jane

I'd bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh
She thought that I was making fun of her
She made me feel I was fourteen again
That's why she thinks it's cooler if we'd just stay friends

Jane doesn't think a man could ever be faithful
Jane isn't giving me a chance to be shameful
Jane, Jane

I wrote a letter, she should have got it yesterday
That life could be better by being together
is what I cannot explain to Jane

The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair
Was dazzled by her smile while I shoplift there
No promises as vague as Heaven
No Juliana next to my Evan

Jane, desired by the people at the school and work
Jane is tired, 'cause every man becomes a lovesick jerk
Jane, Jane

It's All Been Done by BNL

I met you before the fall of Rome
and I begged you to let me take you home

You were wrong, I was right
You said goodbye, I said goodnight

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

I knew you before the west was won
and I heard you say the past
was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine
but I'll see you next time

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

And if I put my fingers here, and if I say
"I love you, dear"
And if I play the same three chords,
Will you just yawn and say

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

Alone and bored on a 30th century night.
Will I see you on the price is right?
Will I cry? Will I smile?
As you run down the aisle.

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

Enid by BNL

Chorus
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.

It took me a year to believe it was over,
and it took me two more to get over the loss.
I took a beating when you wrote me those letters,
and every time I remembered the taste of your lipgloss.

Chorus

Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
but Enid we never really knew each other anyway.

There were times when I wanted to hurt you,
and there were times when I know that I did.
There were times when I thought I would kill you,
but can you blame me I was only a kid.

Tell me why we never respected each other.
and tell me why I never believed that you were a person too.
I always thought that you fancied my brother.
I may not have liked it, oh but memory is a strange thing, oh, and Enid?
Enid I remember you.

Chorus

Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway,
but Enid we never really knew each other anyway.

It took me a year to believe it was over,
and it took me two more to get over the loss.
I took a beating when I wrote you those letters,
and every time you told me to get lost.

Now it's not fair to say that it's
'cause I was three inches shorter then,
and it's not fair to say that it's 'cause
I was only fifteen years old.
But maybe it's fair to say it was a lack of communication,
I took a phone message, oh and speaking of communication,
oh, and Enid,
Enid you got a cold.

I can get a job I can pay the phone bills
I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol
I can work overtime I can work in a mine
I can do it all for you,
But I don't want to.

Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
Enid we never really knew each other anyway.
Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway,
But Enid we really never knew each other anyway

(Ed)
I can teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to knit,
How to make things that you never ever made before
Enid, I can teach you how to use cookie cutters
To make crazy things out of Play-Doh.

Little houses, little farms, little accessories for your mom,
For your Barbie set, for your friends and your family
Enid, I can teach you how to snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe,
But I don't want to!

Enid we never really knew each other anyway
Enid we never really knew each other anyway
Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
But Enid we really never knew each other anyway
I took you dancing, paid for your nightschool.

Call And Answer by BNL

I think it's getting to the point
where I can be myself again
I think it's getting to the point
where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point
that is the hardest part.

And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

You think I only think about you
when we're both in the same room
You think I'm only here to witness
the remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
a game of who loves more than whom

And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

You think it's only fair to do what's
best for you and you alone
You think it's only fair to do the same
to me when you're not home
I think it's time to make this something that is
more than only fair

So if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home.

But I'm warning you, don't ever do
those crazy, messed up things that you do
If you ever do
I promise you I'll be the first to crucity you
Now it's time to prove that you've come back
here to rebuild.

Be My Yoko Ono by BNL

If there's someone you can live without, then do so.
And if there's someone you can just shove out, do so.

Chorus
You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono.

isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love?
Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove.
Now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain.
To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain.

Chorus
Oh no, here we go, our life is just one big pun.
Oh no, here we go as Yoko sings
Aieee!

I know that when I say this
I may be stepping on pins and needles.
But I don't like all these people
slagging her for breaking up the Beatles.
(Don't blame it on Yokey!)
if I was John and you were Yoko,
I would gladly give up musical genius,
just to have you as my very own, personal Venus.
(Hit it!)

Chorus

Brian Wilson by BNL

Drove downtown in the rain nine-thirty on a Tuesday night,
just to check out the late-night record shop.
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane,
but when I'm surrounded I just can't stop.

It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning,
it's a matter of fact.
You can call me Pavlov's dog.
Ring a bell and I'll salivate. How'd you like that?
Dr. Lendy tell me you're not just a pedagogue,
cause right now I'm

Chorus
Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

So I'm lying here, just starting at the ceiling tiles.
and I'm thinking about what to think about.
Just listening and relistening to Smiley Smile,
and I'm wondering if this is some kind of create drought
because I am

Chorus

And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox,
wondering where the hell all the love has gone.
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun,
and singing "Fun, Fun, Fun."

Chorus

I had a dream that I was three hundred pounds
and though I was very heavy,
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me because I'm

Chorus

Drove downtown in the rain nine-thirty on a Tuesday night.
Just to check out the late-night record shop.
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane;
but when I'm surrounded I just can't stop.

Alternative Girlfriend by bnl

You're in an all-girl band
Your futon's second hand
Your parents understand but you don't care
I have a job in a shop
I'm an undercover cop
I make sure the customers aren't thieves
Old at being young
Young at being old
Everything's on hold within our evolution

Chorus:
You're my alternative girlfriend
I love you, and now you cannot pretend
There's nothing left that won't cross over

Last night we slept on the lawn
you woke up and I was gone
Back to the dream I dream to leave
My life with her is a bore
A worn-out metaphor
No more surprises up its sleeve
We're old at being young
Young at being old
Everything's been sold to other's revolutions

Chorus

You live above your dad's four-car garage
With your vinyl and imaginary entourage
if I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick
So we can get out of this town 'cause it makes me sick

Chorus

Shoe Box by BARENAKED LADIES

A key in the door, a step on the floor,
A note on the table, and a meal in the micro
Note says "I'm in bed, please make sure that you're fed
If you're taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
When I'm asleep I dream you move in next week"
I crumple the note and save it to put inside

[Chorus]
My shoe box
Shoe box of lies
Shoe box
Shoe box of lies

it's under my bed, it's never been read
it's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there
From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib
To my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone
Who's not seventeen, doesn't know what you mean
When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or

[Chorus]

Did somebody tell you
This is how it's supposed to be?
Or did you just find it
And you don't want any more from me?

[Chorus]

Was it something I said, or was it something you read
That's making me think that I should never have come here
I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye,
I can tell you I'm sorry, But I can't tell you the truth, dear
And what if I could - would it do any good?
You'll still never get to see the contents of

[Chorus]

You're so nineteen-ninety
And it's nineteen-ninety-four
Leave this world behind me
'Cause you don't want me anymore

So Far So Good by Ian Thornley


I feel a little bit left of center
but didn't get me there before
everytime I see a lost cause coming
it's nothing less, nothing more
everytime I get lost in paradise
I find a way to screw it up somehow
I know its not the way its supposed to be
but it'll do for now

When you're right, you're right
everything else in my life just might be wrong, you're wrong
All the time

So Far So Good
Cause no one knows im drinkin
I wish I could
Show you the toll its takin
Sometimes I live as if there's no tomorrow
So far so good


I better find a way to cross my fingers
half the luck will get me twice as far
I'm sick and tired of coming up for air
it shouldnt ever be this hard
every little bit will help, I wonder
if its enough or did I cross the line?
the kitchen counter is a bad reminder
of a better time

<-- Chorus -->

Repeat til End

Sick And Tired by Default


I feel it, this tension inside of me
Pressure is presently pushing down on me
The first time it starts with just you and I
Repeating myself but you don't hear me

I can see what you see
But is it worth it to me?
The same old conversation
Over and over and over

I get sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say your surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over

You've taken these things that belong to me
Twisted so tightly and torn so carefully
The last time it ends with just you and I
Alone in a room with these torn bed sheets

I can see what you see
And it ain't worth it to me
The same old conversation
Over and over and over

I get sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say your surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over

You swore I'd regret it
Now thanks to you I can't forget it
Cost of this constant battle
Won't even miss you at all
Free from this life that you call...

I get sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say your surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, It's over

I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say your surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over
It's over

yay! i love hockey playoffs! go avs, canadiens, leafs/sens, and flames! i wouldn't mind it if vancouver won, but calgary is a neighbour city with relatives, so i'll cheer for them.

yay edgemont is back! it's on everyday after school at 4pm on cbc! i missed that show a lot! it's so good!

|

wow! it's been a week since the junos! awesome! yay, one week till backlash! woohoo! i can't wait, the card sounds awesome! yah, calgary was not too bad. the typical arguments occurred, but otherwise it was cool. i saw my only younger cousin (everyone else is older than me), he's almost taller than me, and he's ONLY 12! hehe! he'll be super tall soon, i can't wait! he's a cool kid. he was singing, and it was funny! u had to be there inorder to understand why. i got a pair of sandals- originally $59, reduced to $20. i hope they last, they seem good. i'm suprised my mom bought them. she normally doesn't buy me stuff like that, i guess cause she bought a couple of pairs of shoes herself, so she didn't mind it. they were cheap, so that's good! yah, so too bad the break is almost done. WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!! THE JUNOS WERE FRICKEN AWESOME! THEY WERE WICKED AWESOME! Sam Roberts produced a hat trick! he won all three of his awards! too bad he didn't perform. oh well, nickelback was awesome too! their performance at the beginning was sweet! i loved the pyro, and chad was getting the crowd pumped, GO ALBERTA!!!! that was sweet how i saw in essence and nelly furtado yesterday (and got their autographs), and they won an award! i think nelly only one 1/5, or was that four nominations? i dunno, her performance was great, it was better live, cause the music was louder and much better! in essence did a fantabulous job performing! gj to all the performers! ugggh, i wish the junos didn't end! it was sooooooo AWESOME! i liked how they had 4 bands perform at once. on one stage, they had 3 days grace, then the other stage was finger eleven. back to the first stage, billy talent performed, and on the 2nd stage, simple plan performed! it was cool with the back 'n' forth. too bad only parts of their songs were played, oh well, it was awesome none-the-less! the crowd was pumped, the music was loud, it was AMAZING!!!! i'm sooooo glad i went! i'll prolly write more another day!

have u guys ever seen "radio free roscoe"? well, it's on family. there's this guy named travis, his radio personality is called Smog. his real name is nathan carter, and apparently he's 20 or maybe 21 in real life. he plays a 14 year old, so i figured he'd be like 16 or 17, but he's not! sorry, i like him, he's so cool. except, i think he's short, so that's a downer. however, his hair is hot! that's what attracted me to him, and well that's the first thing i notice in a guy anyways!

|

i know u don't care for the lyrics, but they aren't for u, they r for me! so, i don't have to go searching these lyrics while i sing these songs. anyways, that's all.

Throw It All Away
BY default

This feeling's back today
It's so decieving like it's never leaving
same as yesterday
As the pressure's mounting I countinue counting

Why can't I drive this image from my mind
It's true that you pushed me to the point

I think I've taken all I'm going to take
This really starts to sting
The bullshit and the baggage that you bring
I'm gonna throw it all away
Throw it all away

I feel like I'm on trial
Its never ending not worth defending
Been like this for awhile
The tides are turning I'm finally learning

I think I've taken all I'm going to take
This really starts to sting
The bullshit and the baggage that you bring
I'm gonna throw it all away
Throw it all away

Throw it all away, throw it all away
Throw it all away, throw it all away

Why can't I drive this image from my mind
It's true that you pushed me to the point

I think I've taken all I'm going to take
This really starts to sting
The bullshit and the baggage that you bring

[repeat chorus]
