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

Matchbox 20 - How Far We've Come




Waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every morning before,
now I wonder what my life is going to mean if its gone,
the cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that
I started staring at the passengers waving goodbye
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time

[chorus]
but I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're gonna find out

let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

Well I, believe, its all, coming to an end
oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

I think its turning to a crock but I don't really know
I can't remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there was no where to run to
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
said where you going you know the world is heading for hell
say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to


[chorus]

its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it's over for me and it's over for you
well its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it's over for me and it's over for you

[chorus]

when i first started running, my mentality was to save up energy for the end and sprint to the finish line..

foolish i tell you

many times, the energy is saved for a little 100m dash at the end. do ppl really run 100m of a 5000m + race? coast through 4900m and run 100 of it? does that make any sense? why coast through most of the race to run a little bit.. why 'save up' that energy for 1/50 or less of a race when you can spread it throughout the whole race, going as fast as you can for as long as you can?

andrenaline will get you through the last part of the race as well...

so why coast through life? what are we saving up for? tomorrow may not come. spread the wealth and treasures out. one day we must spend what we save... why not make it today?

*edit: for those who cant tell, i quit on this post about 25 words in... i think i officially have ADHD... or laziness syndrome...

my organizational behaviour prof (Teal McAteer-Early) once randomly spewed in class that: "it's not the shit that happens to you, it's how you deal with it"

i must say, i dealt with it poorly

must get on the right train track

2007 is turning out to be the worst year possible for me.... is there time to still turn it around

"I can understand booing me. I was the new guy here, there were some expectations, and I sucked. But, I mean . you're talking about Jason Bay, one of the most consistent hitters in the big leagues. That's pretty weak to boo him. If you're loving that player when he's going well, you've got to stick with him when he's not."

ever since i was young, i wanted to fit in with the popular crowd... the 'normal' crowd

i've never figured out why... was it cause i wanted to be a 'normal' person?

i was pretty stupid, cause the popular crowd sucks

the problem is that things have been too easy...

when things are too easy, i become lazy... when i become lazy, my full effort isnt there... and things go in a downward spiral....

then things get hard... too hard...

when things are hard, it's easy to be demoralized... when im demoralized, i feel like giving up... then things go in a downward spiral

things are either too easy or too hard in life...

is ability a gift or a curse?

is it a choice?

inspiration


money does not inspire. not in the long term. only in the short term


money is not the object of life. it's just a byproduct


when athletes retire, they're putting off millions and millions of dollars... but they'd rather spend time with their families. they'd rather not put themselves through the work that's required to play at a high level. because the money isnt worth it to them. of course, one can argue that millions of dollars is nothing to athletes, but something to the average joe... um, lets talk in relative terms... if you were sick and tired of your work, why would you work there at your current rate?


to make ends meet? survival is the inspiration, not money.

to maintain the life of luxury? selfish desire is the inspiration, not money.

to have something to do and not be bored? it aint for the $$$....

but of course there are obvious exceptions. or maybe im just listing the exceptions.. what is the rule? what is the exception?

---

the point is... i dont gamble or do anything for the money... money is just a byproduct.

money means nothing to me. money is the byproduct of my desire to win and succeed at everything.

my problem is that i count winning and losing by my results. not by my efforts. being a results-oriented person doesnt make one happy. just like doing things with money as the pure inspiration doesnt make one happy...

im not happy

once upon a time, i had everything

now, i have nothing

when i had everything, i felt like i had nothing

when i have nothing, it feels worse than having nothing... if that makes sense

God takes, God gives. God, what do you want from me?
