week 8: warning



things that i wish i had done differently.

a warning to the youth.
perhaps this should have been "proverb"

but things are as they or are, or is as they is...

so to speak.

i have been suffering from some of the cruelest dreams i have ever had

i have no one to talk to about them anymore

that said...

ill offer you the best advice, or warnings, based on what i have managed to learn so far.

college is a joke
tomorrow will always suck
anything/everything that you love will either die or leave you
debt will swallow you whole

most importantly:

it is easier to go through life stupid than unlucky.

and

and

it sucks to be alone.

and so, freshman: verve pipe

When I was young I knew everything
She, a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm gilt stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice now

I can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me
I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a weeks' worth of Valium and slept
Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says

I can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me
I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

We've tried to wash our hands of all this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say

I can't be held responsible
Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me
I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

I remember the first time I heard that song! You were singing it. I still remember it that way; even though the radio version should be so effing cemented in my mind that its not. even. funny.

Anyway, I may not ever get your calls but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you! (see? I still cyberstalk you)
