Hello everyone. I hope the week has been enjoyable so far. On Monday my sister went to audition for Sleeping Beauty, and I went with her. Just before she went down to audition, I figured "What the heck." and went to audition with her. I sang "My Friends" from Sweeney Todd, purely as a joke. Well. Now I get to be Prince Plump and wear a fat suit. Nice going Sam. Anyway.
I feel like time is just flying by. I wake up, school, homework, dinner, LOST, bed. It's a crazy life and I heard a song the other day that just stopped me in my tracks. It's called But I Can't by Plug In Stereo. It reminds me of the times we can't have back. I would give anything to go back to the days when losing a game was the worst thing I knew. It seems like the world beats us up, strips us of our childish selves and leaves us cold and disenchanted. It sucks. Big time. But there is hope. We can still be that child again. Imagination never leaves us, we just forget that it exists. Imagination, what an awesome concept. It sets us apart from everything else on Earth. We can imagine other lands, other worlds, other beings. Imagination, it's what keeps me up after I watch Paranormal Activity for the first time and think a demon's in my house when it is just acorns falling on my house. Imagination, it's what makes you YOU. Children are so pure, so innocent, so happy, so oblivious to the mess that people call life. My aunt had a baby girl named Addison Rose not too long ago, and my cousin Grace and I were talking about how sad it is that someday, somebody's going to hurt that baby girl that change the way she views life forever.
Today, I was so relaxed all day, with the exception of Biology II, which I'll never understand, so I just kinda give up in that class. But I was happy all day, the weather here is so nice and it just puts me in an overall good mood :D I'm sitting here writing this and listening to Coheed's new track Here We are Juggernaut, which is amazing by the way, and feeling quite happy overall. Well, I think I'll go play some Half Life: Portal or spend some time outside!
I'm posting the But I Can't lyrics, Plug in Stereo is amazing!
But I Can't
ake me back to the days when I could not wait to wake up,
weird hair, didn't care what to wear cause no matter what, I still felt loved.
Take me back to the days, when losing a game was the worst thing I knew.
Getting thrills off of little stuff that now, I just can't do.
I can't stand growing up, I'm going too fast.
Well just a second I miss my past.
Yeah being old has its perks,
but I miss my old friends,
and the way the she used to be
I wanna start again. x2
I miss, everything.
I wish that you could.
Take me back to the days when school wasn't a chore.
Now I have to play hookie to hide from the things that I used to not want to ignore.
Take me back to, the world that I knew before, the love was taken.
Another smile drop, listen while time stops now....
I can't stand growing up, I'm going too fast.
Well just a second I miss my past.
Yeah being old has its perks,
but I miss my old friends,
and the way the shit used to be
I wanna start again. x2
Take me back to the days when I hated to fall asleep.
If I could I know I would spend a day under my sheets.
Take me back to the life, when I can know myself again.
I wish I could, I wish I could,
but I can't
With Peace, Love, and Smiles,
Sam

"But I Can't" is so cute! I can relate to a lot of it...I miss the way people used to be when I was young. Heck, I miss the way I used to be when I was young :/. I've been feeling pretty old lately. I feel like high school is just disappearing. Have fun being Prince Plump, haha.
ReplyDeleteI miss the way I was too! It's so sad waking up everyday and think about college and my life. It's not cool at all.
ReplyDeleteI love that! Take me back to the days when my life was an adventure rather than an endless To-Do List. Back to when life was full of worries about being short, losing games, and trying to measure up to Mary, instead of worrying I won't have a job this summer, getting a prom date, and getting money to buy a car.
ReplyDeleteMy worries now are just having enough money and having enough time to live life. Funny that the two kind of conflict.
My dad never grew up. Obviously he did in so many ways, but he to this day says he's still a kid at heart; he claims he's not getting older. And he really isn't, health-wise he's 30. He probably has regressed in maturity as Mary and I got older. He walks around quoting Old Spice commercials with us
i still don't understand why you had to measure up to me. no one ever said you had to.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are happy sam! Finally this winter blues is wearing off and we are all happier :) let me know when your show times are and i will go! congrats!
