BEST LYRICS FROM A SONG?:
"Ignore these thoughts
Retrace my steps
My spirit's lost a thousand bets
I won't deny circumstance
Gets greater and harder
I'm just beginning to see
That I'm slowly going blind
And it's not part of some mystery to be left behind
Silence again
Save me from keeping this violence within"
~Jimmie's Chicken Shack

FOREVER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: If something like that existed, I'd hope no one ever discovered it, because life would be pointless if one couldn't feel emotions from both sides of the spectrum... there'd be no need for, and therefore no such thing as, hope
IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE TO DIE IN 24 Hrs. AND COULD ONLY SPEND TODAY
WITH ONE PERSON, WHO: the person who can make it so I *won't* die in 24 hours ;)
