And I'm real slow at it too.

And by the way, I miss you're old signature.
which is on topic with this thread because, uh...
I read the novelisation of the movie two weeks ago! I knew there was a connection...

I finally read Tuesdays with Morrie. I meant to a long time ago, just never got around to it.

Morrie told me all about the meaning of life. It was a pretty good time.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

They actually had to re-activate my library card because it had been so long since I last used it.

I agree with Claire - it's cool.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
