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
woke up at 1030 instead of 630 this morning.. first boxing day shopping extravagenza started off poorly.. i hate driving to these packed places.. it's like driving to pacific mall..
so i kinda forfeited a few meals.. had my first meal at 430pm.. 2 packs of instant noodles... that was quite crazy.. and.. not healthy
there are happy times in life and there are unhappy times.. i was recently told that if im going through unhappy times, to weather through it because happy times follow.. it was cheesy and not believable.. but maybe because of who said it and the fact that he was trying to be encouraging helped.. or maybe cause i was in a positive mood
everybody... put up your hands... feel the beat now.. if you're got nothing left... back it up now... you've got a reason to live... feeling good now... dont be afraid to get down... to the beat..
---
there are talkers and there are do'ers... met too many talkers in my life.. met too many talkers this term.. i fucking hate them
i hope to never be a talker and not a doer.. i apologize to anyone and everyone if i've ever been just a talker
---
so many engagements lately.. kinda crazy... impressive stories too... happy for them. who's next?

i completely forgot my age today.. i literally had to subtract 1985 from 2007.. it was such a weird feeling
so i just finished writing 3 exams the past 8 days... meh.. business as usual (pun, harhar)
i thought it was bad studying.. like i have huge attention disabilities....
ever try watching silent library at a silent library? impossible.. i laughed so many times. i had to run out of the room before i exploded.. except... it slipped out before i exited
anyway... so i thought studying was bad...
when i wrote my exams, i had songs playing through my head.. softball games from the summer running through my head.. basketball games that i've played... dumb and dumber the movie... silent library... honestly, i had the whole dumb and dumber movie run through my head during my tax exam... i was laughing randomly.. ppl must've thought i was crazy... no wonder i need all 3 hours to write all my exams... im not even looking at the paper half the time!
i interrupt my current studying with the following announcement:
toronto raptors fans = toronto maple leafs fans = most sports fans = boneheaded = illogical
so i was scanning through some comments (i dunno why opinions infuriate me like they do.. maybe cause i cant stand stupidness), and someone claimed that al horford should be suspended for as long as tj ford is out.. for those who dunno, al horford fouled tj ford, and he left on a stretcher because of chronic spinal injuries..
there have been arguments on other sports injuries where the person who injures them should be out for as long as the person is injured..
NOW...
are all ppl this stupid and illogical?
if a person with a majorly sprained ankle plays bball, and i step on his foot by accident, causing him to injure his ankle more, is this my fault? should i be punished? if this is the last straw and it causes his ligaments to be torn, should i sit out for as long as it takes his ligaments to heal?
if i cause a coworker to cry, should i take stop work for half an hour if the crybaby coworker cries for half an hour straight? bloody hell
al horford shouldnt be suspended. accidents somehow become suspensions because of stupidity and ridiculous sensitivity
he wouldnt even be suspended if that person wasnt tj ford and he didnt have spinal cord injuries
it was a reactive move by the nba to show that it 'cares' and to please the stupid whiners out there (this means you raptors fans). if i was al horford, i'd be furious and want to sue.
play the ball as it lies. play at your own risk. we have to make double standards now? one for the regular players, and another for the ppl who play with injuries?
if person A has sex with person B and A KNOWS B has HIV, does B get fined/suspended/jailed/penalized/punished for giving HIV to A? A knows the risk going in.
i guess there's the real world and the sports world
i love sports. i hate sports fans.
the real problem beneath this all is what ppl will do to please others and to avoid criticism
can ppl not handle criticism? suck it up. stand up for what you believe in. dont give in and conform just to look better in ppl's eyes.
problems of this world:
(1) ppl are retards (1.1) ppl are too politically correct (1.2) ppl are too sensitive
we now return to regularly scheduled programming/studying
was rolling around between 3-5am last night... i guess waking up at 12:30pm and sleeping at midnight aint good for me.. my body recognizes it as a nap, ha
i hate studying.. im a poor studier..
why couldnt i be taller so i could play bball professionally? less stressful
or be born richer, thus i'll be braver and experiment with poker more?

The Strokes - You Only Live Once
Oooooh Some people think they're always right Others are quiet and uptight Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice nice oh oh Inside they might feel sad and wrong
Oh no 29 different attributes And only 7 that you like, uh oh 20 ways to see the world, oh oh Or 20 ways to start a fight
[chorus] Oh, don't, don't, don't Get up I can't see the sunshine I'll be waiting for you baby 'Cause I'm through Sit me down Shut me up I'll calm down And I'll get along with you
Ooooooo-ooooo-ooooooh Oh, men don't notice what they got Women think of that a lot 1000 ways to please your man oh oh Not even one requires a plan. I know Countless odd religions too It doesn't matter which you choose One stubborn way to turn your back This I've tried, and now refuse
[chorus]
Alright.. Shut me up Shut me up up up up up And I'll get along with you...
i sleep at midnight. housemates come back and blast the tv, talk loudly at 1am or something.. it's kinda crazy.. when they're sleeping, i try to be quiet.. when each other is sleeping they try to be quiet.. but when im sleeping, they dont give a F F? well, one of them doesnt im sure. the one who is boy crazy and thinks what she does is best...

so my friend and i agreed a few weeks ago that Christmas was the loneliest time of the year... now i wonder.. why is that.. a few possible reasons:
a) we've made Christmas into something that it isnt.. commercialized..
b) we forgot what Christmas actually is.. the birth of Christ..
c) Christmas is... to remind us... that we're lonely...
