Some days, even a paladin gets tired of fighting

The universe has made me sad and tired today.

Make me smile. Please. Show me something righteous and just. Show me something beautiful and sweet. Show me something loving and calm. Show me something I don't have to fight against.

my attempt to lift my mood: a neat-o meme

put your computer music player on shuffle and list each song. Pick your favorite line (or two) from each song. Take off the artists and song names and have your friends try to guess them

This is what I came up with. I had to shuffle a bit manually since a lot of my music is either in a foreign language or instrumental. (or they whisper or its a song I don't know at all)

1. Because the world owes me nothing, we owe each other the world.


2. In stereo I want it all, but it's taking me far too long

3. Fight her all you want, you'll never win. Couldn't we just once leave her in bed?

4 I need to make some decisions so back off! Back off! BACK OFF!

5. Silence my lady, get thou out of my head, douse mine with gasoline, set it alight and set it free

6. Tun vi piyaasa mun vi piyaasa tainuun kol bullavan
Tooun aawain tay jaan na daaiwan jawain tey mur jaawaan

7. Heaven knows I could forgive ya, but I won't, no, not today

8. circles and circles and circles again, got to stop spinning, sickles and sickles and sickles again

9. can't see for miles if my eyes are closed, can see for miles with my head so high

10. I'm closing my eyes, don't want to see clearly, gentle, joyous, we wander forever

11. don't the love always hurt the most? crying together, from coast to coast

12. maybe I'll laugh, maybe I'll smile,and we'll have fun, for a little while, but when I go, there's no hello, today I feel low

13. looking at you and you are looking at me and we both know what we want, mmm, so close to giving in

14. I've got so much trouble on my mind, refuse to lose!

15. Bad Luck says, I'll let you go on, get to you sometime tomorow morn

16. and I'm getting older too, and I don't want to die like you

17. I know you're waiting there for me to come back, I'm too afraid to show, is it coming over you like it's coming over me, I'm crashing like a tidal wave

18. I hear all these voices always telling me that I'm bad, but it's all in my head, like all those scary noises

19. Follow me down the road to the realms of the rhyme

20. Reach out and you'll touch me, make effort to speak to me, call out and you'll hear me, be happy for me

21. idle talk and hollow promises, cheating geniuses, doubting Thomases, don't just stand there and shout it, do something about it

the things that can be heard in my house

Roomate: was this book under the monkey?
Me: what? oh, actually, yeah it was.
Roommate: ok
