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
how many special ppl change? take some time to make some sense of what you wanna say... today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you.. slip inside the eye of your mind...
these dirty fags will get whats due to them in the end. they're full of cheapshots and whining. i GUARANTEE they have NO chance of winning the nba championship this year
i cried for the first time in a long time just now
i cant tell if it feels good
The Terminator: Why do you cry? John Connor: You mean people? The Terminator: Yes. John Connor: I dont' know. We just cry. You know, when it hurts. The Terminator: Pain causes it? John Connor: No, it's when there's nothing wrong with you, but you cry anyway. You get it? The Terminator: No.
i saw it crawling around for half an hour or so. i was gonna leave it cause it wasnt doing any harm, and i wouldnt mind it eating any bug trying to brave the winter in my house
but then it started spinning a web, and thats when it crossed the line... no webs in my room, thanks.

saw the killers concert yesterday..... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ended it off with 'all these things ive done' then came back for the short encore
i kinda lost my voices screaming along with the songs
i sing my best in the shower.. must be the acoustics of the room...
but i also think my best in the shower... thats probably where einstein though of e=mc^2 everything seems so clear to me when im showering.. but once im out of it, my mind is blank again... if i could do everything in the shower, i'd be the most productive person out there...

am i the only person who doesnt really care about obama? his inauguration was today, as EVERYONE has mentioned.. and it seems EVERYONE watched/heard it... but really... is it a big deal? everyone made a big deal about his speech.. i read it online at work just to see what the big deal about it was... FIRST OF ALL, he probably didnt write it himself... second of all, shrug... it wasnt that great. maybe i wasnt there to hear it and witness his CHARISMA about his plans to save the world. the world being usa of course...
- look, his speech talks about not messing with the usa because it's a unified dominating force... - he talks about coming out of this so-called economic crisis to emerge as the world leader again..
gimme a break... the reason he will FAIL to achieve his plan is because of his need/preference of the us being the best.. in today's global world, no country needs to be the best. it just gotta do what it does best and operate efficiently.. each country has its own niche.. but i have a feeling the us will try to do everything the best... like how the big 3 automakers tried and failed...
if george bush proposed to put the usa in HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in debt.. what would ppl say? that he's an idiot? get him out of office? but because a charismatic black man suggested it, it gives hope to the ppl?
if obama was a white man with the same personality/charisma, would ppl love him as much? i would guess no. i dont know why this world sees obama as a black man.. why cant he just be a man, regardless of colour? why do ppl care so much about skin colour... about nationality? why does it effin matter? you either are good at what you do, or you're not. everything else is irrelevant
going to see the killers concert on friday.. but i wish i was watching oasis instead... still undecided on how i feel bout their new album... but this song is classic
oasis - acquiesce
I don't know what it is That makes me feel alive I don't know how to wake The things that sleep inside I only wanna see the light That shines behind your eyes
I hope that I can say The things I wish I'd said To sing my soul to sleep And take me back to bed You want to be alone When we could be alive instead
[chorus] Because we need each other We believe in one another And I know we're going to uncover What's sleepin' in our soul Because we need each other We believe in one another (And) I know we're going to uncover What's sleepin' in our soul What's sleepin' in our soul
There are many things That I would like to know And there are many places That I wish to go But everything's depending On the way the wind may blow I don't know what it is That makes me feel alive I don't know how to wake The things that sleep inside I only wanna see the light That shines behind your eyes
[chorus]
What's sleepin' in our soul (x2) 'Cause we believe (x2) Yeah, we believe 'Cause we believe (x3) Because we need (x2)
been busy the past while... just hanging with ppl. it's nice.
i've been struggling in sports... i think i've gained weight from relative inactiveness as well.. but i dont really feel it... i need to get in shape. summer is just around the corner... nice...
a couple of weeks ago playing chess, this guy just sat down watching and talking. he couldnt shut the hell up. he was muttering crap like 'chi' and stuff. only i knew what he was talking about from learning bits of it in tai chi class. he was commenting on the game and everything. how annoying. the killer thing is, i think he's gay and he was hitting on either me or the old man. cause after i ignored him for 10-15mins, he went to play another guy and i didnt hear a peep from him.
maybe if he didnt suck at chess i'd have a bit more respect for him. im an elitist when it comes to this, and basketball.. i only wanna play with ppl who can play.. it's not enjoyable for me if ppl suck and want to play... it's incredibly not enjoyable if they think they're good and they suck
today i played the old man and lost twice even though i was up... tough to swallow. the amazing thing is he told me not to get pissed over a game. this is the same guy who gets mad everytime he loses and talks loudly when he's mad in the library. anyway, i didnt take it to heart because i know he meant well. i know i frown naturally, even when i think i'm giving no reaction or expression. and i do hate to lose. i guess adding those two together is not a good combination...
had cma class this weekend and im so fed up with this one guy i had to work with in a group
he takes 40 words to say something that should take 7.
instead of "the company should do x," he says "you know, based on everything here and the good points raised by so and so, it makes me and leads me to conclude that sometimes it's best to do x so this company, which is on a great track, should do x"
eff this. why the hell do ppl clutter their statements with such bullshit. why do ppl try to sound intelligent by using filler words? is there a quota they must meet with each sentence and breath?
this guy is a moron and i ignored him. i think he took a hint with maybe an hour left in our two 8 hour day sessions.
repeating what i say, or what somebody else says, DOES NOT MAKE THIS YOUR IDEA. YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING ANYTHING
all he does is regurgitate what is said by others, in a less inefficient, way more annoying way that makes me want to punch his face in
frig, shut the hell up
why are ppl so unfamiliar and uncomfortable with silence? i think i could sit in silence all day
but ppl probably hate it more when i say nothing at all...
case in point: today during chess, i said nothing the whole game and when i gained the advantage, the old man yelled at me for not saying "check" or anything at all for that matter. he asked if i knew how to speak...
on a side note, that game was a draw cause i played horribly... even though i had the advantage... and the game before that i lost after having the advantage... crappy
anyway, the point is: my silence can kill
but im quite comfortable in it... way better than useless noise that ppl make
