Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one

Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone

And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
I let go, there's just no one who gets me like you do

Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason

I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one

Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone

And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one who gets me like you do
You are my only my only one

Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only, my only one

here's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both 16 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night

There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both 18 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night

If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight

I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me not tonight
Not here, not now
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
Be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow

If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

well sunday afternoon there was a rehearsal for the musicians playing at the confirmation mass...my mom, the pianist, guitarist, and me. It was fun and good challenge musically. so the guitarist really liked how i played apparently because he called tonight and wanted me to play at his mass on sunday mornings. i would have been happy to. but my family would disown me. also he called and talked to my mom about it and she of course said no right off the bat without even consulting me. that was kind of annoying...really annoying. now i dont know if i want to do it or not. its a wonderful feeling that someone enjoyed my playing, playing with me, and respects me as a musician that they would like me back sometime. its amazing to know that. not to mention they are a good 40 years older than me. i need some advice. my parents totally would not want me there. and i would have to get up at like 7:30. but its playing music. and i enjoy the music aspect of it. aside from the "worshiping" side of it, or providing ministry to a priest i never particularly liked. its music. its what i love. its what i do and plan to do the rest of my life. hah. might as well be married to music. i love it in sickness and health. ok now im startign to sound crazy. just thought id bitch a bit in here. since apparently i dont do anything exciting :P.

damn straight!!! NHS 61, Springbrook 59. we fuckin rule!! state champs haha. i dont know why im so excited but it was awesome. painted my face blue and everything. good night. now im tired. and wondering if there's a disorder involving excess nostalgia...or maybe its just living in the past. i live too much in the past and future. its fun. i get shit done. but sometimes its just soo much fun to think about something other than the overly bland present. i need to meet some new people. or maybe im bland. hmmmmm...i really should go out and do more. so busy. time to go to sleep. laaaaaame...11:18 saturday night and im going to bed. haha. whatever i need sleep. so i am going now. enjoy.

weird but im going to babble...seems nice how experience is so wonderful and adventurous. the excitement from a new style, or new route...exploration "instinct" drives humans. it forces us to discover and learn. new views of your environment are wondrous. you think you know the surrounings of your home like the back of your hand. you know you all have those days where youre sitting staring through your window across the street or in the baclkyard. you do it for so long and so often that you truly know every minute detail of the outside world at every time of day. you know if something is out of place and when life through you looks right. but when you change position to somewhere whose image youve never seen from your window, you can see the brilliance of new experiences. or maybe im an creature of morbid routine. life is for experiencing the most pleasant, adn sometimes unpleasant events. its all an eexperience that adds to our own personal legacy on earth. did you do what you enjoyed? are you happy with the way you lived your life? was it to the fullest? life's goal is to reach all the points where you can then say yes to all the previous quesitons. experience makes us who we are. never go trhough life saying always and never. do what you think is dangerous. experince the thrill of something new that may be completely innocent. life is for living. and your dreams can help you live in the direction you want. all you have to do is try. no i need to believe that and we'll be good.

Rationals, are the problem solving temperament, particularly if the problem has to do with the many complex systems that make up the world around us. Rationals might tackle problems in organic systems such as plants and animals, or in mechanical systems such as railroads and computers, or in social systems such as families and companies and governments. But whatever systems fire their curiosity, Rationals will analyze them to understand how they work, so they can figure out how to make them work better.

In working with problems, Rationals try to find solutions that have application in the real world, but they are even more interested in the abstract concepts involved, the fundamental principles or natural laws that underlie the particular case. And they are completely pragmatic about their ways and means of achieving their ends. Rationals don't care about being politically correct. They are interested in the most efficient solutions possible, and will listen to anyone who has something useful to teach them, while disregarding any authority or customary procedure that wastes time and resources.

Rationals have an insatiable hunger to accomplish their goals and will work tirelessly on any project they have set their mind to. They are rigorously logical and fiercely independent in their thinking--are indeed skeptical of all ideas, even their own--and they believe they can overcome any obstacle with their will power. Often they are seen as cold and distant, but this is really the absorbed concentration they give to whatever problem they're working on. Whether designing a skyscraper or an experiment, developing a theory or a prototype technology, building an aircraft, a corporation, or a strategic alliance, Rationals value intelligence, in themselves and others, and they pride themselves on the ingenuity they bring to their problem solving.

Rationals are very scarce, comprising as little as 5 to 10 percent of the population. But because of their drive to unlock the secrets of nature, and to develop new technologies, they have done much to shape our world.
