"Therefore go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart...enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that are given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun."

Take me down the road, to a place i've never been before, open up my eyes show me colors that i've never seen, open up your mouth, tell me perfect words i've never heard, im ready now lets go.
After a while you can make yourself believe in anything so im making myself believe in you.

the lyrics to my song have disappeared and been replaced with pain. if only i was faking, man i wish i was faking. hearing your voice made the sun break through. take a spear, yes a spear, and ram it into your knee.. tell me how that feels? we haven't begun to be on the same page yet, you haven't even opened the book.

the sound i hear is almost like a song, but there are no words, only hope.. for you to do the things you want to do. why do you hide behind the things which seem to be so settling? your life is on repeat, maybe it's time for a new story? what do you say?
can i take you to a place, only you can believe? let's get out before the quicksand eats us alive. i need to live like i'm already dead. maybe it's the flame that makes your heart cold.
paris seems to be one of those jokes, where you really aren't joking at all. i've got truth on my side and i'm sorry but i can't help but lie. i want to be in the light, as you are in the light. i want to shine like the stars in heaven.
there's something about the way you say it, something that gives me chills. but you make me sick, and i can't see straight. i'm not doing fine, but rather i'm doing you.
i'd give it all up, for one more dance with you. i just wish i could understand you understanding me. it's not time to let go, that's already past. the thing is now, it's time for you.
if you do comprehend, then you really don't understand at all. if you don't get it, there's no point in trying, you'll be fighting for a lost cause. just take these words, my words and swallow them whole. don't think about it, instead.. love them for what they mean.

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end

Let's get crazy, talk about our big plans, places that you're going, places that I haven't been. Build my walls up, concrete castle. Keep this kingdom free of hassle.

On Tuesday, I was having a really bad day. I don't really remember why, I just wasn't having a good day.. until about 3:30. Something happened to me. I was sitting in the courtyard, in the shade. I listened to the water falling onto the rocks, I listened to a teacher give a lecture, I listened as footsteps walked by me. I watched the wind blow the leaves, I watched people laugh with eachother. Everything I heard, or saw, or smelt.. it all became clearer. For a minute, I wasn't even in that world, no body even knew I was sitting there. For once, things didn't revolve around me. I observed everyone and everything else, and for some reason, it was one of the most beautiful things that has happened to me in a while. It was as if I was invisible. And for that brief minute, I'd never felt so calm and relaxed. I have never felt such peace within myself. I didn't have a care in the world.. whatever I was stressing over didn't matter, whatever made me upset I forgot about. The past was in the past, why not live in the now? And it sounds silly, since it was only a minute, but it felt really good. I was strangely enlightened.
Don't you ever wonder who you'd be if one small thing in your life was different. Imagine you had the same parents, same type of lifestyle, but grew up in a different town, only miles away. Who would your friends be? What kind of person would you be? How different would you be from who you are now? Now, imagine having different parents, different friends but growing up in the same town. Weird huh? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Just think of all the different kinds of people you could have turned out to be, why this one? Why not another? Are you happy with who you are? What would you do differently if you could do it all over again? Anything? Would you have held back as much as you did? Or would you have held back more? Sometimes I wonder who I'd be if I wasn't adopted, if I was with my biological parents. I constantly wonder who they are, where they live, what they do.. wouldn't that bother you? And day in and day out I question whether or not I should try and find them. I'm 18 now, almost 19, and I don't know who I really am. I mean, sure, I have my families background, and that is a part of me, but there's a part missing. There's a piece of me that I don't even know. I know very little about my real parents. I know that my dad was the brown hair, brown eyed Filipino side of me, and my mom was the blonde hair, blue eyed Swedish side of me. That's it, that's all I know. Maybe some people would be upset that they were put up for adoption. Not me, deep down I believe there is a good reason. I believe they wanted me to have a better life, whether it be that they were too young or couldn't afford me (I don't come cheap), I'm glad to be where I am today. I'm very thankful for everything I have, and I'm very thankful for all the things I don't have. But damn it, aren't you fuckin curious as hell?!

Isn't it funny how the littlest things can make you the happiest. Here's an example: the other day I went to the cafe to grab some lunch. the lady that helped me smiled at me, and talked to me, not to mention was very polite. it doesn't get any better than that! nowadays, it's hard to find someone who smiles at you, or isn't so rushed to get somewhere, or just courteous. just by her smiling at me, it made my whole day.

The most bitchin' news for quite some time..
So, you've heard of the show on MTV called Laguna Beach.. right?? Well, the main guy Stephen, you know the good looking one, tan, nice hair.. he goes to school here at State. How do I know this? Besides from stalking him and reading all about him on MTV.com, I saw him at the DC. I was inches away from him. It was pretty intense. I'm still trippin' BIOTCH!

Megan: I wonder if owl's take power naps..?
Nicole: They can't, they're nocturnal.
Megan: So? We take naps during the day.
Nicole: But they're owls. You can't compare us to owls.
Megan: Of course you can't, we're humans and owls are birds.
Nicole: They can't, they're nocturnal.
Megan: So? We take naps during the day.
Nicole: But they're owls. You can't compare us to owls.
