Who's that guy there? The guy you pretend to see. The guy you pretend to hear. That guy who sticks around when no one's there. From the random to the shuffled set list, the name's Luke. Between the good and bad is where you'll find me. Unending Dream. Starless Loser. Blitz Ace. Concise Soloist. Lucid Dreamer. Fooled Fool. Non-Explicit Thinker. Introverted Loner. Stark Truth. Ludicrous Wanderer. Hypocritical Virtuoso. I'm sorry that most of you will never get to know who I really am. But for those who do, I truly thank you. The rhythm or the melody, but it's truly about the solo. No "sir" wanted, please? And no "Mister" needed. Coming from a place where things are exactly what they seem. And a dream is but a dream. Lost in translation, but never missing in action. Just one lost, confused case and will probably never have the right thing to say. My guess is wrong, but see I'm strong. Won't take me long for me to move on. Never been the smartest, but I'm not dense; and just to let you know, I have a slight lack of common sense. Nice guys always finish last, but I don't mind. If you try, you become. People change for one of two reasons: they know enough to want to, or they've been hurt enough that they have to. Change is the one thing we all fight for and against. The more out of place you are, the more noticeable you are and the more you stand out. The only reason people try to put you in a box is because they know you're a gift. Life's full of action. When there's action, there's always a reaction. Drop the obsessions. Raise the passions. People are dumb. Should it matter when you look dumb? Do your worst, do your best, because for every bad day you have, there's a good one coming right up. Imperfection is everything. Mistakes are made. The world's gone dirty and that's why it rains. Can't call out liars because we're all liars. People like listening to lies because they know the truth hurts. And you know that when the truth is told that you can get what you want or you can just get old. You're going to kick off before you even get half through. Touché. So many things become cliché, especially things that are only meant to be cool. Love what you got. Cherish what you get. Appreciate the big things, but remember the small. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best; because then reality can be free not to disappoint you. See things exactly the way they are and not how you want them to be. When you're angry, you have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give you the right to be cruel. Either you control your attitude or it controls you. Life isn't fair, but you can be. Talent is a thing that separates the geniuses from the experts. Go ahead and show others what you can do, but don't judge anyone else too harshly just because you are accomplishing so much. Too much of a good thing will always make a bad thing. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind. Memories give the strength needed to proceed. Strength needed to believe. Keep your old love letters and pictures. Throw away old calendars. People look for love, not the time for tears. It's nothing but wasted water. And it doesn't make any flowers grow. Good things might come to those who wait. Not to those who wait too late. You got to go for all you know. Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Doesn't matter how bad your heart is broken; the world won't stop for you. Don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either, your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Happy endings don't exist, but believe that there's always light to every dark; always hope to every lost cause; always beauty in the filth; there are always two sides to a story. Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Understand yourself, while acknowledging others. Never abandon a dream. There is always a path as long as one doesn't give up. And when you're having the most fun, that's when time always flies. Miracles do happen. Wishes can come true. Chances are meant to be taken. Don't ever wait first. Act first, then wait. But a dream stays dream. Someday, that fleeting dream will end. Anyways, when you got something to say, just say it. Express yourself when you're talking to me. I won't bite and I'll try to hold back when you do. Feel free to ask me anything while you're at it, because the real "About Me" section can only be known through talking to me. Don't learn about my life, get in it. Add me if you want. I want know your story. No lie, I promise. Don't ever worry about me, I'll be fine. I'll only ever play the fool one time. So trust me when I say, that I'll be okay. Take the time now to breathe and wonder and feel and rethink your life. Your dreams. You. Until then, this is my story.
