Lyrics:
Kanye West - I Wonder
Find your dreams come true
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
[chorus]
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
I've been waiting on this my whole life
These dreams be waking me up at night
You say I think I'm never wrong
You know what, maybe you're right, aight
[chorus]
You say he get on your fucking nerves
You hope that he get what he deserves, word
Do you even remember what the issue is
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean
[chorus]
And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm
Seven o'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hot lines
Why he keep giving me hot lines
I'm a star, how could I not shine
How many ladies in the house
How many ladies in the house without a spouse
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused
What you about
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids
You ever wonder what it all really mean
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

the zone: the term used to describe the time where the runner is running at a comfortable relaxed pace such that it feels like the runner can run on forever at that place and where the mind is blank and clear of any distractions in life
the zone...i experience it whenever i run for a long distance.. just yesterday, i ran my usual route in 44mins 36secs.. about 9-10kms.. bout a min SLOWER than i ran a month ago... which aint good.. i'm physically deteriorating... or i'm really outta shape, even though i have gym class each morning at school.....
but back to the ZONE, the zone is no good i just figured out.. if i run into the zone, that means i'm running at too comfortable of a pace, which is no good.. i must push myself harder, and that means escaping the zone... i must take risks.. if i dont take risks, i cant improve.. if that means running harder and faster in the beginning and throughout, then i must try it.. i may not be able to finish as strongly or last long at that pace, but it's a step towards improvement.. if i keep in the zone, i wont improve.. if i keep pushing myself each time i run, i will definitely improve, unless i get worse and worse physically...
NEXT GOAL: run my route in 40mins, with the last section in 5mins flat
but obviously the zone extends beyond running, it can be related to life.. a conservative person or a person who likes life the way it is for them right now will want to stay in their zone and not take risks and risk leaving/losing the zone.. i used to be a conservative person, but now, i'm moving towards breaking through the zone.. i'm risking a lot by doing this, but i want the chance to improve myself, the chance to change what's around me... i dont want to be stuck in THIS state.. this state SUCKS...
