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

ATTENTION: CANADA
There is more to life than hockey.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
show me some damn nba highlights. only in canada can a tv station have 104697 hockey 'analysts'
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, Or tell you that. But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were
[chorus] I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of "it's over" then I'm sure that that makes sense
[chorus]
And when we meet Which I'm sure we will All that was there Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on....
i first started driving when i was 16.. i would go on the highway, push my way to the left lane and streamline it at 140km/h the whole way.
im 21 now. when i go on the highway, i stay in the right lane and go 100-109km/h, depending on whether i feel dangerous, ha.
it wasnt even a gradual change where i started going 130, then 120, then 110. one day, i decided to go in the 'slow' lane, rather than the 'fast' lane and see how it goes
my reasons for being the 'slow' lane rather than the 'fast' lane: - i feel more in control of my car - i dont feel the need to be somewhere as quick as i can - i feel less dangerous - i dont wanna get caught for speeding and have my insurance quadruple - i want to set a better example - i feel safer - i can observe my surroundings more, and possibly enjoy the scenery, if at all possible - i have an extra split second if need be - etc. just cant think right now
still, is it that much different being in the fast lane versus the slow lane? - you get to the same destination eventually - there are still the traffic jams encountered.. the speed is pretty much the same in all lanes during traffic - risk is still involved, anything can happen, accidents can happen - the biggest different is speed and time, which of course are interrelated
randomly, did you know that the 'slow' lane isnt really slow? it's actually AVERAGE/normal/commonly accepted. everything else is just fast. (which would make it slow relatively, but this debate could go on forever)
of course, im not really talking about cars; im talking about lifestyles.
ive made it a point to change my lifestyle from fast to slow/average. i used to always want to get things done and move on. but i never learned to appreciate life. life to me was just a big checklist, but it's more than that.
example of things that i've slowed down: - time used to finish a test - speed used to drive a car - consuming of food - growing of my hair
i guess this is the reason i prefer canada to hk. this lifestyle is comfortable to me. i want to enjoy life. it also makes me happier (and less indigestion)
of course, i always get the urge to drive faster. like today, i hit 120+ for the first time in a long time... not that im not capable of hitting it.. i do have a respectable 2.5L engine. but cruising and enjoying is a lot easier on the engine. and it might just last longer
which lifestyle do you live? which lifestyle do you want? which lifestyle is right for you?
i was too lazy to run outside at lunch today.... a net downhill of about 80m for the 10km race.... i wonder how possible 45:00 is for me.... im well short in my training... i need to train like a beast... starting.... april 20th? come sooner warm weather!
just like 2 years ago, i need mercy... something about brings out the worst in me.... of course, both instances were my fault.... sooooo...something about april makes me bring out the worst in myself =(
1 minute i'm hopeful confident. another minute im sad, worried, and depressed
arent those symptoms of bipolar disorder?
---
im a zombie.....
zombie... nation...

sigh.... no man's land. im in no man's land. most vulnerable to death. nobody wants it.
from wikipedia....
"No man's land is a term for a land that is not occupied or more specifically land that is under dispute between parties that will not occupy it because of fear or uncertainty"
so i'm in class today and i randomly look at my clipboard as usual.. filled with the same ol' quotes... then i look closer and i see this faint quote i wrote.... it says:
"failing is not the end of the world. quitting is."
i think to myself... what the heck, that doenst look like my writing, and it's so faint. and who's the genius that came up with this? it sounds so perfect for me!
then i remember... i wrote that... during the beginning of 3rd year most likely.... so, i objectively viewed myself as a genius! even when i dont want to be, i am....
note to self: dont quit (unless it's smoking) self to self: DUH, you idiot

hey guys! lets buy pre-torn jeans! then i'll look really cool! let's pay ppl to tear my jeans up so i can be fashionable!

---
focus.... focus.... focus.... big picture.... a few months is nothing in terms of forever....
damn that david usher and his exotic voice.... his new cd is pretty good i admit
---
i understand... i truly truly understand... in due time, everything will be ok again... i will wait till we can reunite.. i just dont have the patience.. i need to develop it...
need to grow.... i need to grow.... grow so that i can lead...
does anybody have steroids? i'd like some steroids that will make me grow spiritually faster...
