The crowd on the street walks slowly, don’t mind the rain
Lovers hold hands to numb the pain,
Gripping tightly to something that they will never own
And those by themselves by choice or by some reward
No mistakes only now you’re bored
This is the time of your life but you just can’t tell
Let make a fast plan, watch it burn to the ground
I try to whisper, so no one figures it out
I’m not a bad man, I’m just overwhelmed
It’s cause of these things, it’s cause of these things
This probably isn’t the best of song choices considering some of the rest of the lyrics tend to be a little risky; however, I love the song in every sense and I don’t know why. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I feel that way about many things- Love them and do not know why. And I think that’s the best part. If you made me think long enough, I am sure I could come up with specific reasons exactly why I like a certain thing… or even a certain person- only I don’t think you’d want me to talk all day about it. An example, a friend got me talking about music in class just recently, and this is one of the first times I was really passionate about what I was saying, and didn’t even realize how deep I took the lyrics of particular artists and/or how I related them to certain events occurring in my life right now. I enjoyed talking about something this passionately- because I haven’t done it in a while. And when it comes to how I feel about particular people, it’s been even longer.
I had a friend take a trip to Vegas of Spring Break. He is originally from L.A. So, he met up with a brother there to do some air combat training (he also has his pilot license) while the last few days of Spring Break would be spent in Vegas. He said, “I just get too bored if I stay around the house for too long.” This is my problem lately. I feel the need to be constantly on the move, learning, or doing something active. I like it- but it’s hard to fulfill these needs when I’m hours away from my closest friends and family. Not to mention I have no money to do much already. This friend of mine was leaving a casino Thursday night, and was unfortunately followed into a nearby parking garage. It was there that he was attacked, mugged, and beaten unconscious. He is fine now after spending two nights in the hospital, and he is back in class. His face was really the only thing affected by the whole situation. From his attitude about the whole thing, you would never know it happened (of course, if you failed to look at him when he talked to you). He simply says, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” Given that he could have died that night, I love that attitude. Great guy. Christian man. You should meet him. He also said, “I wouldn’t change anything about last week… except maybe having the opportunity to fight back.”
Other than Spring Break being pretty uneventful, nothing has changed in my life. I love my family. I had a great week off from school because of them. I wish I could say more about a few personal things I am struggling with, but if I’ve mentioned it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. There’s a lot I want to change, and it’ll get done.

Hear it, I’m screaming it
You’re heeding to it now
Hear it! I’m screaming it!
You tremble at this sound
You sink into my clothes
And this invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick
