What is needed so that I may have what I want?
What is wanted so that I may have what I think I need?

Is there a difference?
The line has grayed between the two that's for sure.
I think that you have what you need, and what you want will come too you when you need it.
How does that sound? As Nick used to say, how do you like 'dem apples?
Just a thought, but maybe if as Americans we focused less on greed and what we wanted we'd finally be able to get what we needed.
I don't know what it is we do need, but if we stepped away from our mcdonalds and reality television (what a nice word, it's a shame it's been shortened too tv) for just a couple of seconds, I bet it wouldn't be so hard to figure out.

On a completely seperate note altogether: Being bored is for the boring.
There is absolutely always something you can do.
There's no such thing as the proverbial 'nothing to do.'
That is just a lie.
You could put on a show, make a costume, plant some flowers, just think even.
Unless you are just a boring person (I apologize most deeply if you are) you have no excuse.
Boredom gives you the oppertunity to make something of yourself.

"so needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry."
-Take on Me, A-ha

Do you think lyricists are good at communication?
You can hear a song and the lyrics cut right into your soul --but in real life, persona a persona-- are they strong communicators? When they talk to people do they feel their hearts?
If so I want to be a lyricist so that I can communicate so beautifully.
If not then I think they must be some of the loneliest people in all of the world.



Note to self, find someone who can say this:
"No one I ever knew or have spoken to
Resembles you
This is good or bad, all depending on
My general mood.................
Magistrates who spend their lives
Hiding their mistakes
They look at you and I, and
Envy makes them cry, Envy makes them cry
Forces of containment
They shove their fatfaces into mine
You and I just smile
Because we're thinking the same lines...........
You're not right in the head and nor am I
And this why
This is why I like you, I like you, I like you."
-I like you, Morrissey

To end on a note of comedy, this has been running through my mind all week:

Rod Kimble: [pronouncing the 'wh'] The safe word is "WHiskey."
Kevin Powell: [pronouncing it with a silent 'h'] You mean whiskey?
Rod Kimble: [pronouncing the 'h'] WHat?
Kevin Powell: I just don't understand why you're saying it that way.
Rod Kimble: [pronouncing every W as WH] WHy am I saying WHat *WHat* WHay?

That wasn't the quote I was lookng for. But it's still funny.
Go watch hotrod. And charlie brown christmas, my favorite movie.

Whip it Whip it good.
