sad 'n lonesome

It's the same routine.
I'm ranting while I’m raving,
There's nothing here worth saving.

Tell me now, what more do you need?
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
Over everything.
Well there's a few things I gotta say
And make no mistake, I'm mad…
'Cause every good thing I've had
Abandoned me.

All I want to do is hide.
It's graduation day
And everything I learned inside
Didn't seem to pay.
I've had my fill of palm trees
And lighting up Grauman's Chinese.

A sad and lonesome me.

I'm the walking wounded
And I'd say it to your face
But I can't find my place.

A sad and lonesome me.
A sad and lonesome me.
A sad and lonesome me.

weary

I know what I heard; don't dismiss my words as if I'm lying. If you really had my back no matter what, you wouldn't start defending her instead of asking what she said. What kind of mother are you? Why do you always side with other people when you yourself tell me to never trust them?

time to ditch ugly

or wear a burqa cuz of the girl staring back in the mirror.

Aaron Brown: And how is the crew holding up?

Suzanne Carbonal: Oh, they're nervous, Aaron. Yes. A few have suggested, for my own safety, I put on a burqa. You know, the traditional full head covering. [gestures downwards across her face]

Aaron Brown: Perhaps for our viewers' safety as well.

Suzanne Carbonal: What do you mean, Aaron?

Aaron Brown: Nothing. We'll be right back.

can't let go

Well I can't let go
No, I can't let go of you
You're holding me back without even trying to.
I can't let go
I can't move on from the past
Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.

I can't let go
No, I can't let go
No, I can't let go of you.

money going down the drain

With all the money I've had to shell out to Uncle Sam, I'm starting to wonder if God wants me to be poor; not that I have exhausted all options but it's an uphill battle if your parents don't root for ya mentally or are unable to monetarily -- let's be honest; education is an expensive purchase and it's not necessarily an investment with great returns.

Living in a sea of financial uncertainty, every time I see a bum in the city I am reminded that I'm fortunate to have a roof over my head.

I know I have no one to blame but myself for buying into the false idea that money doesn't matter; there's no point of loathing the church. Maybe if I was more desperate, I would be in a better place than I am today.

I just wish I was born into money or have some sort of talent like no other. Being mediocre blows.

trash gordon

A kid-friendly Roc Emerson is not necessarily a role model and should not be. Frankly, it's somewhat offensive and condescending. I think kids will grow up to make fun of poor Trash Gordon.

dream

I had a dream that you were mine
A song of heaven was in your voice, dear
Making my heart rejoice, dear
Sweet memories of a love divine.

think before donating

UNICEF should be last to vocalize exploitation of child labor. Every year, children act as minions of UNICEF, collecting on the organization's behalf, costing 'em little or nothing. All they gotta do is air cartoon ads that appeal to their source of free labor.

If you were to visit its site, UNICEF is very vague about what it is that they exactly do. If, for example, their mission is to feed the poor, why is it not mentioned? My guess is that UNICEF contracts out such services to private entities. But the question is, why isn't UNICEF transparent about these things? Why not include that in an ad? Better yet, show some results or disclose how the money is spent.

something other than statistics please

I don't know anything about marketing or advertising but this girl's rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" is downright annoying -- whether she's autistic or not. I'm sure the idea is to elicit some sort of suprise; showcasing diversity in autistic children.

A guy I once dated had an autistic niece whose parents were struggling with. His sister and her husband made a trip from Staten Island to somewhere in CT or upstate NY every week to go see their daughter's progress on a treatment program. And then one day, it was another trip to the center but with the niece in tow; she had come home for the holidays. George was making sure she was safely buckled in the backseat belt and did a double take when she said hello back.

Translating something like this would have been better. Maybe it's not even possible but I hope they stop airing that ad because I think people get that autism is serious.

let the help fly it

Getting a pilot license isn't cheap. So usually bored rich people get behind 'em controls. Whether it was an accident or not, Lidle endangered innocent lives and the FAA has no excuse for its lax rules.

There's a lot of emphasis on the tragic loss of a Yankee pitcher, but all I can see is an inexperienced dumbass who thought a plane that can pop a parachute is damn safe. Cory Lidle's widow and the FAA will be lucky if they don't get sued.

LIRR is somebody's bitch

It's a wonder that nobody's suing LIRR and that LIRR is doing absolutley nothing while they're stalling.

misogyny spree

Colorado and Pennsylvania; something tells me that it's really not about guns. Have you noticed that it's the girls who are getting killed? Young girls!

The problem with these victimizers is that most likely they were molestation victims themselves with deep-seated issues with females! This is why society should not dismiss them as some kind of abnormality; they are products of this society.

I never thought that guys can be intimidated or hurt by girls. When I heard that fat boys would get depressed or suicidal due to rejection or taunting by girls, it just didn't make any sense to me. From my point of view, boys were physically stronger; the ball was always in their court.

When my ex revealed to me how girls were so mean to him when he was growing up because he was fat, I couldn't believe that girls would do that; to me, it just didn't make any sense. But I knew and felt, even without him delving into details, that the pain he endured was real and indelible. In addition, he too was molested, fanning the angry flames within him.

I don't think that one is born crazy; the person was driven to pull the trigger. In the PA case, the guy was a victim and a victimizer and he reached a point where he couldn't take it anymore. Of course, I'm not condoning his actions; I'm not gonna say that it was God's will or any of that stupid crap. What happened to all these girls are atrocious; nobody deserves that.

What I am saying instead is that these "crazies" aren't gonna disappear. Everyone is capable of all the things we deem ugly. This means that there's a troubled young soul out there who will grow up and lash out at the innocent bystanders. All I'm saying is that we as a society must address this as preventive measures; we can't just execute the "crazies" and pat ourselves on the back. They are weeds and unless we realize this, history will repeat itself and we'll see it in the headlines.

misheard

Whatever. When Paula Deen says "Ready to party!" it sounds like "Clog your arteries!"
