Who would of thought. "The Cars" always puts me in a marvelous mood, tonight though, somehow it has done the opposite. I was in a good mood, especially after such a long and tiring, but good, week of work. Bleh.
A few highlights that has transpired this week. On the way home after work this week, two or three days ago, I saw a license plate with a saying on it which put a smile on my face. This is what it said: "Read the Book of Mormon, It'll change your life". I thought that was simply awesome, the vehicle appeared to have two hispanic people in it.
Another so-called highlight was from today, again on the way home from work, I saw an "Opeth" sticker on a person's car which I just thought was cool because that band is just talented in many ways.
New topic, I remember growing up having crushes on girls I liked. Those days are gone of course, but in a different sort of way. I seem to have a problem of actually identifying if I actually have a "crush" on someone these days. Maybe its because I've been alone for so long and think foolish things. There are a few girls at my work that are good looking, but only two that I would actually take on a date. Am I crushing on them? I haven't a clue. I mean, yeah they are beautiful but I don't really know them at all. Its not easy like it was back in the old days of being in school. Back then I had good luck, the girl I liked actually liked me back, probably because there were slimmer pickings to choose from. Now though my luck is nonexistent and I'm sick of trying.
There is a guy at work. He's LDS, age 31 I believe, and single. One of the two girls I wouldn't mind asking out is 26, also LDS, and single from what I've pieced together, and served a mission. This got me thinking, there are so many nice and good people that never find someone. Amazing as they are, faithful as they are and yet they don't find their someone. Then I look at this hideous beast of a girl that works there, who isn't LDS, an unintelligent being who spews forth nothing but pure idiocy, and happens to be married for many years now. How is that fair? Yes, I do acknowledge the fact that she is a human being too and deserves someone, but is that really fair? Its not, and you know it.
Whenever I come across someone who is older and single, I always pray that they will find their someone. People that deserve someone who will treat them right and love them for who they are.
I look upon myself and think will I ever find someone? Or will I be another amongst those who end up with no one? My patriarchal blessing mentions something, but it was wrong about my mission even though I was faithful like it said and yet it didn't come true. Who knows how much truth are in those. Especially after seeing my father's.
I feel drawn towards the 26 year old girl, even though I think she doesn't have interest in me.
I bet I could just disappear and no one would notice or care. Just another person in society who falls through the cracks and is forever lost.
I wrote an incomplete poem today, it'll probably remain incomplete and never become one of my poems, but I liked this part:
"I want to put a gun to my head,
Pull the trigger again and again,
Until there are no more memories.
I want to start over.
I want to live again."
Oh well.
P.S. I got donuts at work, woohoo!
It's All I Can Do
Re-gaining Unconsciousness
I am on one tonight. I don't know what has overcome me. But I'm on a good high.
So, one of my favorite television shows is "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". I was excited when it wasn't even on air yet. I was excited because it has Danny DeVito in it. I was excited because it was something new, something fresh, and something funny. I liked it before most fools. Anyways, in an older episode two of the characters end up making a song. This short, simple, song has been STUCK in my head, burned into my skull, and I can't stop singing it. As dumb, silly, and annoying as it is, I simply can not stop. Here are the lyrics of "The Nightman":
Dayman (ah-ah-ah)
Fighter of the Nightman (ah-ah-ah)
Champion of the Sun (ah-ah-ah)
You're a Master of Karate
And Friendship
For Everyone
That's it. Well, repeat it 3-5 times, with some slight variations sometimes. Or as many times as you want really. This song is addicting, especially if you've seen them sing it. Which got me thinking a little, just in a sense of some of my favorite songs. I would like to share a list of some of my most favorite songs ever, songs that I can, do, and will always listen to again and again because they are simply amazing. Be it because of the mix of instruments, lyrics, vocals, and everything else.

3- Fleetwood Mac
4- NOFX
5- blink-182
6- Unknown Source
7- DJ Ghostchild
8- The Thermals
9- Sigur Rós

12- Sonata Arctica
13- RJD2
14- Metallica
15- DJ Mystik
I'm usually on the look-out for fresh new artists, trying to stay ahead of the crowd any possible way. A lot of the bands I like I tried showing to my friends back in the day, and they simply blew me off, then a year after showing them they are all obsessed with them. Gotta stay ahead of the crowd and be the trendsetter. Its funny a lot of bands I have known for years and have loved have finally struck home with some of my friends. Some of the bands will never reach them, I still try to show them stuff but they are so fixated on old bands really, or their favorites. I'm always adding to my favorites, I don't just cling on to the old, I am always searching for new stuff. I've given up on showing them stuff now though, especially one friend. Such a joke. He stated he doesn't listen to music for the lyrics, only the instruments. So sad. He should pretty much just show pencils in his ears for insulting music in such a way. Sure instrumental(only) songs are sweet, if they are good, but to listen to songs(with lyrics) based off instruments only is simply retarded in so many universes and ways that its bloody ridiculous! There are so many songs that wouldn't have made it if not for the lyrics, they are MARVELOUS! And many times beautiful. To just brush them aside and ignore them is just wrong. I wish I had friends that appreciated music like I do, unlike these musical dregs of my little society. I will no longer share with them the treasures I hold and find. I won't let them taint and abuse them any longer.
I'm willing to show any of my favorite songs to those who care, and am always willing to listen to your favorites, so please share! Especially if its one of the same artists listed above, I like to see which songs are other peoples favorites who share the same tastes. Or if its someone completely different. I soak up music. (:
Anyways.......*starts singing "The Nightman" song*
