The First of the Century
Straylight Run, started by some former members of one of my favourite bands Taking Back Sunday has found itself on my playlist. And this song The First of the Century just gets me excited, its very full of energy and passion.
“You know
You can be
The first of
This century
To bleed through
To find truth
To know what
You should do
You know
It could be
Anything
Sometimes (sometimes)
You might find (you might find)
A crack or (a crack or)
A fault line (a fault line)
But dressed down (but dressed down)
Or made up (or made up)
You’ll find (you’ll find)
A real love (a real love)
A place to
Come home to
At night
So what did we pay for
And why did we care
What were we after
And why was it there
Desire gave way to a false sense of hope
And we fell for the lie that its what we all chose
And I yelled to my friends, “It’ll all be OK!”
But they didn’t believe me
They still don’t today
They never do anything the haven’t before
In the same
In the same solemn room with no lock on the door and over and over and over again
The same failed solutions to all the same problems
They scream “Why? Why? I can’t understand
Why the things that I do never go as I’ve planned!”
And the vultures begin
Their slow circling
The dogs lick their teeth
Bright white and gleaming
But just hold your tongue
Barely begun to fight until now
Let’s see what you’ve got
This wide open shot
Take it or leave it
Cause we’re getting out
We’re getting out alive
And you’ll never
Find us again
You’ll never find us again”

This weekend I have 3 parties/hangouts, one for each evening.
I am not playing day of defeat source any more really, trying out Call of Duty 5:World at War and still playing the Empires mod for hl2. Day of Defeat has kinda died off in the clan I am in.
Today is one of those days that really could go either way. It is definitely not one of those regular days(obviously not cause i’m posting on my blog), its one of those days where you feel and think more than usual, you wonder about the future and the past. I feel pretty mellow right now but the taste of energetic outbursts is starting to come, so who knows, maybe it will be a great day. Christmas is coming and I have so much stuff to figure out, and its really fast. I have two dentist appointments booked in december, yay.
In the last month I have played bass a few times, fixed indievisionmusic and taking-over twice from server problems infecting their site with malware. I bought some sweet shirts and cds from death is not welcome here(who have broken up) at killer good prices, even getting shipped from the UK. The canucks have been on a great streak, floor hockey is done for a month. I had my big toe on my left foot crack about 1/3 of the toenail off, quite fun. This week at floorhockey I put my face into a teammates shoulder and cut the inside of my cheek, makes it hard to give the wife a good kiss. Speaking of the wife she opened on tue,wed,thur at 5am at work this week, meaning I drove her to work at that time. Its been a long week.
I have signed up for another college course for the spring, Business Law on wednesday evenings.
go listen to the The First of the Century.
