MARK

I tried to pass for nothing -- But my dreams gave me away -*Bright Eyes*

About Me

--------------------------------------------- *"Bright Eyes" - "Got a cricket for a conscience Always looks the other way A cocaine soul starts seeming like An empty cabaret Hey, where have all the dancers gone? Now the music doesn't play Tried to listen to the river But you couldn't shut your mouth Better take a little time to level out" ----------------------------------------------------------- "If you hate the taste of wine Why do you drink it 'til you’re blind? And if you swear that there’s no truth, and who cares, How come you say it.....like you’re right?? Why are you scared to dream of God When it’s salvation that you want? You see stars that clear, have been dead for years, But the idea just lives on" -Bright Eyes ----------------------------------------------------------- *Gang Starr - "Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near Don't fear, things get severe for everybody, everywhere... Why do bad things happen, to good people? Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil -- the situation that I'm facin, is mad amazin to think such problems can arise from minor confrontations... Now I'm contemplatin in my bedroom pacin Dark clouds over my head, my heart's racin Suicide? Nah, I'm not a foolish guy Don't even feel like drinking, or even gettin high Cause all that's gonna do really, is accelerate the anxieties that I wish I could alleviate But wait, I've been through a whole lot of other shit, before So I oughta be able to withstand some more" -----------------------------------------------------

Are your brothels full, oh Babylon With merry middlemen? Never peer out of their periscopes From those deep opium dens All this death must need a counterweight Always someone born again First a mother bathes her child Then the other way around - The scales always find a way to level out -BRIGHT EYES ----------------------------------------------------------Ic e Hockey, Fishing the ocean, golf, running, food, family, friends.....
