"For those who believe in God,
most of the big questions are answered.
But for those of us who can't
readily accept the God formula,
the big answers don't remain stone-written.
We adjust to new conditions and discoveries.
We are pliable.
Love need not be a command or faith a dictum.
I am my own God.
We are here to unlearn the teachings of
the church, state, and our educational system.
We are here to drink beer.
We are here to kill war.
We are here to laugh at the odds
and live our lives so well that
Death will tremble to take us."

in your eyes is because of me...
or if it's because of someone else..."
(1/6/02)

"When it comes to love,
you don't get to choose,
you just fall;
When it comes to friends,
you don't go out and search,
it's whoever is there to catch you."

"Life is like one big puzzle. All of your friends,
every loved one, each new experience,
each tragedy and every joy is one of the pieces.
Some of them fall so easily into place,
but others we have to push and twist and turn
to make them fit just right. Eventually they all fit,
and when they do, your life's puzzle is completed.
But, until then at least one piece
of that puzzle is missing.
Until you find that final piece, you still have
another new day to live and enjoy.
Don't get so frustrated when
a segment is missing.
You see, someone greater than both of us
holds that final piece.
When you have them all,
your life will be over."

crying over what could have been."

Why the did I still feel those same feelings?

"We run away all the time to avoid

"Don't be fooled by me.
Don't be fooled by the face I wear
For I wear mask. I wear a thousand masks,
masks that I am afraid to take off
and none of them are me.

Pretending is an art that's second nature with me
But don't be fooled, for God's sake don't be fooled.
I give you the impression that I'm secure
That all is sunny and unruffled with me
within as well as without,
that confidence is my name
and coolness my game,
that the water's calm
and I'm in command,
and that I need no one.
But don't believe me. Please!

My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask,
My ever-varying and ever-concealing mask
Beneath lies no smugness, no complacence.
Beneath dwells the real me in confusion, in fear, in aloneness.
But I hide this.
I don't want anybody to know it.
I panic at the thought of my weakness
and fear exposing them.
That's why I frantically create my masks to hide behind.
They're nonchalant, sophisticated facades to help me pretend,
To shield me from the glance that knows.
But such a glance is precisely my salvation,
my only salvation,
and I know it.
That is, if it's followed by acceptance, if it's followed by love.
It is the only thing that can liberate me from myself
from my own self-built prsion walls
from the barriers that I so painstakingly erect.
That glance is the only thing that assures me
of what I can't assure myself,
that I'm really worth something.

But I don't tell you this.
I don't dare.
I'm afraid to.
I'm afraid you'll think less of me, that you'll laugh
and that your laugh would kill me.
I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing, that I'm just no good
and you will see this
and reject me.
So I play my game, my desperate, pretending game
With a facade of assurance without
And a trembling child within,
So begins the parade of masks
The glittering but empty parade of masks,
and my life becomes a front.
I idly chatter to you in the suave tones of surface talk.
I tell you everything that's nothing
And nothing of what's everything, of what's crying within me.
So when I'm going through my routine
Do not be fooled by what I'm saying.
Please listen carefully and try to hear
what I am not saying.
Hear what I would like to say
but what I can not say.

I dislike hiding.
Honestly.
I dislike the superficial game I'm playing
the superficial phony game.
I'd really like to be genuine
and spontaneous
and me.
But I need your help, your hand to hold
Even though my masks would tell you otherwise.

It will not be easy for you;
Long felt inadequacies make my defenses strong.
The nearer you approach me
The blinder I may strike back.
Despite what books say of man, I am irrational;
I fight against the very thing that I cry out for.

You wonder who am I?
You shouldn't
For I am everyman
And everywoman
Who wears a mask.
Don't be fooled by me.
At least not by the face I wear."
(10/29/01)

"You say when you're alone
It's better 'cause nobody knows you
When no one's your friend
It's better 'cause nobody leaves you
So you turned your back
On a world that you could never have
'Cause your heart's been cracked
And everyone else's is goin' mad"
~The Wallflowers~
(10/28/01)

"You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh
By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad"
~Alicia Keys~
(10/27/01)

"Then fly away from here

"Living will always be a struggle
looking for someone to love you
Looking back at single horrors,

Take me away, I can't live that life no more"

minuses in the hope that I can ask
you to share my future pluses."

for your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead."

"would you catch me if I fall
out of what I fell in
don't be surprised if I collapse
down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this
'cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
this cannot be happening
'cause I'm waiting for tonight
then waiting for tomorrow
and I'm somewhere in between
what is real and just a dream"

by people and be lonely.
Yet one person can bring

rocking in a rocking chair,
and you go so far that you
almost fall over backwards,

you catch yourself?
That's how I feel all the time."

"Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why, why don't you let me love you"
~Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera~

You can't beat the phone company,
you can't make a waiter see you
until he's ready to see you,
and you can't go home again."

"You lifted me up
when I could not lift up myself,
you made me smile
when I forgot how to,
you were there for me
in my times of need,
and you were there for me
when I needed nothing at all."
(10/4/01)

"Tell me why can't I
Just reach up and simply touch the sky
Tell me why can't I
Spread my arms and fly and fly and fly
Tell me why can't I say this
Why can't I do that?
Tell me what do they want from me?
Tell me how to act
Can you help me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can they even see me?
This is my reality, oh no"
~Pink~

"I cry for the time that you were almost mine,
I cry for the memories I've left behind,
I cry for the pain, the lost, the old, the new...
I cry for the times I thought I had you."

"... humans are, by nature, a forward-looking species
always seeking greater levels of happiness and satisfaction.
Unfortunately, the corollary is that humans are all too often
willing to grasp at unrealistic promises of a better life
or to believe that a better life can only be attained
by clinging to intolerance and ignorance,
by lessening the lives of others. And sometimes,
by focusing on a life to come, we miss what we have in this life.
It is a different source of hope, but it is hope nonetheless:
hope that human intelligence, combined with compassion,
can solve our myriad problems and enhance the quality of each life;
hope that historical progress continues on its march toward greater
freedom and acceptance for all humans; and hope that reason and science
as well as love and empathy can help us understand
our universe, our world, and ourselves."

"All she wants is just that
Something to hold onto,
Thats all she needs.
If I could be like that,
well I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do"
~3 Doors Down~

"I woke up crying again, and I don't know what to do.
Maybe you'll understand.
I'm so sick of feeling this way.
I'm so sick of being alone.
I would cry and count the stars if it meant
that I wouldn't be so lonely.
I'm trying to make sense of meaningless bullshit
and I know I'm failing miserably.
Somebody please help me get through this.
I've helped everybody,
and I don't know how to help myself."
(9/29/01)

"Some, they like it easy
When others, they like it rough
But ain't nobody gotta like it but you
Girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy
Whatever, you should do what you do
How could they tell you that you coulda-shoulda-woulda
When ask them can they walk in your shoes
Cuz it's your life and you do what you wanna
And remember baby, it's all about you"

"If you don't like MTV, don't watch it.
If you don't like abortion, don't have one.
If you don't like gay people, don't be one.
But don't hate people because of
their beliefs and preferences.
Life's too short to waste on hate."
