Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to date, how many people you've
dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed,
It's not about sex.
It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have
Or what kind of car you drive.
Or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get, how smart you are, how smart
everybody else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing
who will "accept the written you."
LIFE JUST ISN'T.
But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why. And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it.
But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts
in such a way that could have never occurred alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected,
and those choices are what life's all about.
What would it matter to you if I left?
I doubt you would care.
What would it matter to you if I stayed?
I doubt you would care.
What would it matter to you if I said I loved you?
I doubt you would feel the same way.
What would it matter to you if I said I'd die for you?
I doubt you would feel the same way.
What would it matter to you if I was dead?
Now you care, now you feel the same way.
Such was my life, what matters is how you live yours.
The great love that I have for you
grows every day. When I see you,
the one thing that I want to do is to
marry you. Our last conversation
made me look forward to seeing you again...
If we were married, I know that I would find
pleasure in living with you. I have a heart
I want to give to you. No one is more
able to care for me and help me...
I speak the truth . You will do me a favor
to answer this. Your letters are full of
true love for me. Good-bye!! Believe me,
I still love you...
I'm sorry you had to go through so much hurt.
I felt bad when you felt bad.
I wished I could have helped.
You didn't have to be alone.
You didn't have to cry alone.
Wish I could have said something to help.
Not all guys are evil and mean.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a piece of shit,
but I'm just saying I would never do anything to hurt you.
I still have to pay you back for the gift you gave me.
A gift of friendship and a smile is hard to top.
But I have a hard time with those things.
Christ, I can't even walk down the road without
almost getting smacked by a bus.
So I hope you accept an IOU,
One that says, whenever you need
a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on,
a soul to hug, or some shitty guitar music,
I'll be there for you.
Love Always, Dante
Times when you cry, I want to be near.
I want to be there for you, to dry your eyes,
hold your hand, and take away the fear.
All that needs to be done is to make a wish,
Sadness, sorrow, hurt, heartache, I'll make it all disappear.
It doesn't matter if I'm in the next room,
the next town, the next state, or the next galaxy;
What you feel, I feel;
When you hurt, I hurt.
And what you go through, I go through.
"You Jump, I Jump"
When I say "For you, the world." I mean it.
I'm everytime, everyplace, and everywhere when you need me
This is the famous Denis Leary Song, changed just a wee bit for me.
I'm just an average Josh, never had a job
I'm your average White suburbanite slob
I like baseball and comics and books about war
I've got an average trailer with a mice in the floor
No girl and no job, no life and no car
My feet on the table and a Cuban cigar
But sometimes that just ain't enough
To keep a man like me interested
(Oh no) No way (Uh-uh)
No, I've got to go out and have fun
At someone else's expense
(Oh yeah) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I drive really slow in the ultrafast lane
While people behind me are going insane
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)
I use public toilets and I piss on the seat
I walk around in the summertime saying, "How about this heat?"
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's a real fucking asshole)
Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong
Naaaah!
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado
convertible, hot pink, with whaleskin hubcabs and all leather cow interior
and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. Yeah! And I'm gonna drive
around in that baby at 115 MPH getting on mile per gallon, sucking down
Mexican Pizzas from Taco Bell in the old-fashioned
non-biodegradable styrofoam containers, and when I'm done suckin' down
those ratmeat pizzas, I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam container right out the side and
there ain't a goddamned thing anybody can do about it. You know why?
Because we got the bombs, that's why.
Two words: Nuclear Fucking Weapons, okay? Russia, Germany, Romania-they
can have all the democracy they want. They can have a big democracy
cakewalk right through the middle of Tiananmen Square and it won't make a
lick of difference because we got the bombs, okay? John Wayne's not
dead-he's frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we're gonna
thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have
you ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15,000,000 times,
that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and Chris Farley
(Hey)
And John Belushi
(Hey)
And Billy the Kid
(Hey)
And a case of whisky and drive down to Texas...
(Hey, you know, you really are an asshole)
Why don't we just shut up and sing the song!
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
A-S-S-H-O-L-E Everybody! A-S-S-H-O-L-E
I'm an asshole, I have low self-esteem and proud of it!
In the bay I love, the water is blue and clear.
Forever and ever, the blue sinks into a new land of ocean and color.
The sun rises over the mountains to wake me up.
Like a shining alarm, the brightness, as loud as a siren.
The hills are high, filled with life, I am an intruder against the creatures who dwell there.
The rat looks at me with glowing eyes and squeals its cry of disapproval of my intrusion
The lizard crawls and stares, the flees at my coming.
The vulture flies overhead, constantly looking for a meal, knowing the image of the young man he sees could be his next one.
The snake slithers its lengthy body across the rocks and dirt, shedding its skin, with a half-digested mouse in its belly.
The tarantula, feared by some, but not I, with eight eyes, striking terror into the meek, protects it's land over which it is the host and I the guest.
The diving, the swimming, the air, the sky, the water, the dirt, the grass, the happiness.
Here is where I am home, my special spot, at the bay.
I've Learned....
that I cannot make someone love me. All I can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
that it's not what I have in my life, but who I have in my life that counts.
that you can get by on charm, for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.
that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.
that it's not what happens to people that's important, It's what they do about it.
that you can do something in an instant, that will give you heartache for life.
that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.
that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
that it's a lot easier to react than it is to think.
that you should always leave loved ones with loving words, It may be the last time you see them.
that I can keep going long after I think I can't.
that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
that either you control your attitude, or it controls you.
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
that learning to forgive takes practice.
that there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
that sometimes the people I expect to kick me when I'm down will be the ones to help me get back up.
that sometimes when you're pissed you have the right to be pissed, but that doesn't give you the right to be cruel.
that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
that you should never tell someone their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.
that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive them for that.
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes I have to learn to forgive myself.
that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
that sometimes when my friends fight, I'm forced to choose sides even when I don't want to.
that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.
that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
that two people can look at the exact same thing, and see something totally different.
that no matter how you try to protect your friends, they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process.
that there are many ways of falling and staying in love.
that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life.
that no matter how many friends you have, if you are their pillar you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most.
that my life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know me.
that even when I think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to me, I will find the strength to help.
that writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains.
that the structure we live in is not all that is offered to us.
that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
...that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
...that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings, and standing up for what you believe.
...that no matter how fast or how far you go, you can't outrun your problems
...that love is not for me to keep, but to pass on to the next person
...that even if you do the right thing for the wrong reason, it's still the wrong thing to do.
that sometimes you follow your heart and it takes you to wonderful places.
that I should learn to love myself before I love others, even if it takes an eternity.
You came and broke my fragile heart.
It shattered all over when we fell apart.
My friends told me you were no good for me.
But I didn't listen, I fell in too deep.
I wish we can go back to how it used to be.
When there was just only you and me.
You were my warmth when i was cold.
You were my sympathy for me to hold.
Now I'm left with nothing, except for hurt and regret.
A friendship, a relationship that
walked out the door & left.
My heart you took with you, as i sit and sigh.
Because you're deeply buried inside my mind.
Was it all my fault or was it just your lost?
Yet I still forgive you for all the pain you've caused...
Leaping to the sky she brings it down
The joy, the warmth, the love all around.
How I wish I could leap with her,
To feel the wind, the sun, the stars.
But the suncatcher fades, leaving me with thoughts
of a love shared, a laugh, a kiss,
when she leaves, things things I will miss
Counting every moment
Biding all my time
Standing out here on my own
Searching for that someone
To heal this heart of mine
And keep me from being alone
But when will it be
And how will I know?
I don't want to wait here forever
Somebody love me
Come and carry me away
Somebody need me
To be the blue in their grey
Somebody want me
The way I've always dreamed it could be
Won't somebody hold me, hold me?
I'm waiting for somebody
To dance across the floor
Sweeping me off of my feet
I'm looking for the right one
To open up that door
And offer me a tender retreat
It's like wanting to sing
But needing a song
When will I hear the music playing?
She's in love with an outlaw
She loves his crazy ways
the rags he wears on his body
the crazy things he says
I think the reason she loves him
is 'cause she knows how it feels
to be crying for freedom
inside a cage of steel.
She doesn't run with the in-crowd
she had to take the blame.
She tried her best to make it,
but she's guilty just the same.
And so she dreams of an outlaw
although he's far away
And though she's never once met him
she's with him every day.
