You're The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

by Douglas Adams

Considered by many to be one of the funniest people around, you are
quite an entertainer. You've also traveled to the far reaches of what you deem possible,
often confused and unsure of yourself. Life continues to jostle you around like a marble,
but it's shown you so much of the world that you don't care. Wacky adventures continue to
lie ahead. Your favorite number is 42.

Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

You're Vietnam!

After years of muddling through on your own, you've finally repaired
yourself to a point of respectability. You would have been much better off had
people you didn't like not kept insisting on spending so much time with you. But
those times are fading quickly and these days you're pretty sure you won't get burned.
Star power!

I found a new way to get people to comment. YOU ALL SUCK BALLS. If you do not suck balls, and you can read this entry, then please comment. If you don't comment, well, you officially suck balls. This was a stroke of genius on my part. *takes a little bow* Thank you and goodnight.

Mon, 06 Dec 2004 01:22:00 GMT

I just updated like 5 minutes ago, but I feel like doing it again! Yay! Being happy rocks. Life rocks. Hell, even school rocks! This weekend has been great, 'cause I went to see the lights at Alltel Pavilion, worked my tail off splitting firewood, and I didn't have to deal with any mean people. Well, there was one mean lady at Food Lion. Kevin and I were outside getting in carts when this lady starts backing out of her parking spot. She came about an inch away from hitting the carts so we told her to stop. She rolled down her window and started yelling at us "I'm not gonna hit your f*cking carts! I know how to drive you little sh*ts!" Then she just drives off. Kevin and I stood there in shock for a couple minutes. Pretty awesome stuff. Ten dollars says she's going to hell. lol. I'm starting to look for a new car now since the Honda's long gone. If anybody's got a suggestion then I'm all ears. It has to be $4000 or below though. Gotta go. See y'all people later! GIT 'R DONE!

Deeper than the Holler - Randy Travis

Well I've heard those city singers singin 'bout how they can love
Deeper than the oceans higher than the stars above
Well I come from the country and I know I ain't seen it all
But I heard that oceans salty and the stars they sometimes fall
But that would not do justice to the way I feel for you
So I have to sing this song about all the things I knew

My love is deeper that the holler, stronger than the rivers
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
And longer than the song of the Whippoorwill

From the backroads to the broadway shows with a million miles between
There's a least a million love songs that people love to sing
And everyone is different and everyone's the same
So this is just another way of sayin' the same thing

My love is deeper that the holler, stronger than the rivers
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
And longer than the song of the Whippoorwill

My love is deeper that the holler, stronger than the rivers
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
And longer than the song of the Whippoorwill

If you don't wanna hear about my problems then stop reading HERE.

My life is going downhill. Nothing ever goes right, and nothing goes according to plans. I don't get to talk to my friends that much anymore either. I'm tired of being alone.... The biggest problem... The biggest problem is that I don't have anyone to talk to or, well, pretty much I just want someone that I can love. Seeing all the couples at school just makes it worse. There's gotta be somebody out there for me, just haven't found her yet. It sucks being shy when it comes to talking to girls. Any advice? I really need it right now. Sorry to bother everybody with this kinda stuff, I know LJ isn't the best place to ask for advice but it's all I've got right now. Bye.

One last song before I'm gone for good.... I like the 4th paragraph part of this song.... Sounds like a familiar situation.

Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down

I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the
Dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
To do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
Not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite

Yeah!

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite

Back for Good

Tue, 28 Sep 2004 19:11:30 GMT

lettin' go of the past and moving on. and when i say i'm lettin' go of the past, i mean letting go of everything. no more prep clothes, no more trying to be someone i'm not. it's not worth trying to be someone else just so other people will like me. i'm always holding onto something that's not there... and won't be there. no more being depressed and no more worrying about what other people think. just say hello to the dumbass redneck you all used to know, cause he's back.

Fri, 17 Sep 2004 02:42:06 GMT

So much for feeling good. I'm through with it.

Feeling pretty damn good for once

Sun, 12 Sep 2004 23:36:06 GMT

Feeling great, and I don't know why. So here's a song!!!

Cowboys Like Us! - George Strait

I take off time to time
With those crazy friends of mine
Head out on steel horses
With wheels and we ride

We burn up that road to old Mexico
Blend in with the desert
Just we amigos
And we roll

Cowboys like us sure do have fun
Racin' the wind, chasin' the sun
Take the long way around back to square one
Today we're just outlaws out on the run
The'll be no regrets, no worries and such
For cowboys like us

We talk about livin', babies and women
All that we lost and all that we've been given
We sing about true love, lie about things we ain't done
Drink one more cold one, come mornin' get up And we roll

Cowboys like us sure do have fun
Racin' the wind, chasin' the sun
Take the long way around back to square one
Today we're just outlaws out on the run
The'll be no regrets, no worries and such
For cowboys like us

Cowboys like us

Out Of Work

Sun, 12 Sep 2004 16:09:33 GMT

Hey everybody! I just got out of work a little early today 'cause apparently I was supposed to take a lunch break... but I forgot so they sent me home, which is fine with me. So hopefully this is a sign of good things to come. It better be! 'Cause things ain't been going that great lately. But y'all already know about all that. Well, um... that's about it. I don't have any plans for tonight so I dunno what I'm gonna do. Talk to ya later. Bye.

Bored yet again

Tue, 31 Aug 2004 02:45:01 GMT

I'm bored and Amanda's sleeping so uh.... here's some stuff for ya. More old ass songs!!! YAY!!!!! They're good though, so don't be hatin'. All songs from the same group too!! They all deal with love too so if you can't take it then please do not read any farther. lol.

Is This Love - Survivor

I've heard talk of blind devotion
Lovers through thick and thin
Lives touched with real emotion
Faithful 'til the bitter end
Now, I must admit that the story's attractive
I've lost in far too many affairs
I've seen all the pain that the morning can bring
I need to prove to myself
This is more than a crush
Can you convince me it's not just a physical rush

Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love that I'm feelin
Is this love

So many nights in blind confusion
I've walked the line of love
We reach out in disillusion
When one night isn't nearly enough
Now, I'd like to know that for once in my life
I'm sure of what tomorrow may bring
I've heard all your talk, can I take it to heart
Now look me straight in the eye
'Cause tonight is the night
We've got to ask each other if the moment is right

Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love that I'm feelin
Is this love

I've tread those mean streets, blind alleys
Where the currency of love changes hands
All touch -- no feelin'
Just another one night stand
I need to know that there's someone who cares
Could you be the angel to answer my prayer?

Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love that I'm feelin
Is this love

The Search is Over - Survivor

How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate

Now the miles stretch out behind me loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain the man I really am
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Then I touched your hand,
I could hear you whisper,
The search is over,
Love was right before my eyes.

High On You - Survivor

There you stood, that'll teach ya
To look so good and feel so right
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I met last night
It's understood, I had to reach ya
I let the wheel of fortune spin
I touched your hand before the crowd
Started crushin' in
Now I'm higher than a kite
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and I --

I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
I must be living in a fantasy world
I've searched the whole world over
To find a heart so true
Such complete intoxication
I'm high on you

Smart and coy, a little crazy
The kinda face that starts a fight
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I had last night
Piercin' eyes, like a raven
You seemed to share my secret sin
We were high before the night
Started kickin' in
Now I'm screamin' in the night
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and

I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
I must be living in a fantasy world
I've searched the whole world over
To find a heart so true
Such complete intoxication
I'm high on you

Bored so here's something funny.

Songs are great

Mon, 30 Aug 2004 03:53:11 GMT

I love songs that I can relate to.

Miss You In a Heartbeat - Def Leppard

I believe, that there’s something deep inside
That shouldn’t be from time to time.
I sure found out, for love was such a crime.
The more you care, the more you fall.

No need to worry, no need to turn away
’cause it don’t matter, anyway, baby

Oooh, I miss you in a heartbeat.
Oooh, I miss you right away.
Oooh, I miss you in a heartbeat.
It ain’t love, if it don’t feel that way.
Oh, no.

When we touch, I just lose my self control,
A sad sensation I can’t hide.
To love is easy, it ain’t easy to walk away.
I keep the faith and there’s a reason why.
Yeah.

Now, I ain’t big on promises, I’ll be true to you.
I’ll do ’bout anything, yeah,
For some one like, baby for you.

(oooh)
I miss you in a heartbeat.
(oooh)
Yeah, I miss you right away.
(oooh)
Oh, miss you in a heartbeat.
(I miss you in a heartbeat.)
’cause it ain’t love if it don’t feel that way.

You Move Me - Garth Brooks

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantee

So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground

But you move me
You give me courage I didn't
know I had
You move me on
I can't go with you
And stay where I am
So you move me on

This is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin' what they mean

And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch

Oh but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I'm burning with love
And with hope and desire
How you move me

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

Oh 'cause you move me
You get me dancing and you
make me sing
You move me
Now I'm taking delight
In every little thing
How you move me
