I'd like to meet:
But I have not met you.

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions
So everybody put your
best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that
we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs bleed into one
I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes,
or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance
that could hold us back.
-The New Year, Deathcab for Cutie

Come and relax my love
Put Your Troubles Down
No need to bear the weight of your worries
Just let them all fall away
-Panta Naga Pampa, Dave Matthews Band
*****
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me? Then I...
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying,
what's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
-Dancing Nancies, Dave Matthews Band
*****
I believe in the sand benieth my toes
The beach gives a feeling
an earthly feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die and that would be alright
-Semi-Charmed Kind Of Life, Third Eye Blind
*****
Come on Virginia
Don't make me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Oh, and sooner or later
it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
Cause darling only the good die young
-Only the Good Die Young, Billy Joel

"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."
I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."
- Jules, Pulp Fiction

"Viola! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vex papule, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
