  • Because I found it on YouTube:

    Rode through forty nights of the gospels' rain
    Black sky pourin' snakes, frogs
    And love in vain
    You were down where the river grows wider
    Baby, let me be your soul driver

    Well, if something in the air feels a little unkind
    Don't worry, darlin'
    It'll slip your mind
    I'll be your gypsy joker, your shotgun rider
    Baby, let me be your soul driver

    Now, no one knows which way love's wheel turns
    Will we hit it rich
    Or crash and burn?
    Does fortune wait or just the black hand of fate?
    This love potion's all we've got
    One toast before it's too late

    If the angels are unkind or the season is dark
    Or if in the end
    Love just falls apart
    Well then here's to our destruction
    Baby, let me be your soul driver
    -Bruce Springsteen

    Well, 12:16 and still two papers to write. There goes sleep for tonight. I'm actually not that bad and I should be anything but. It's complacency and I dislike that but what're you to do? Talked to Lilia again for the first time in 3 years, which has its own shocks and ironies to it; and life goes on, really. So apparently at Carmel High School they have actual conferences to talk about the dangers of Facebook and MySpace - of course, they seem to forget we've been using the internet more extensively than they ever took to create it and no one actually gets suckered (for kinder choices of words) on MySpace anymore unless they're an idiot or not a veteran of the internet (yes, we have veterans now) and colleges don't catch stupid shit you say on Facebook unless you really don't know how to use that Ignore button for friend invitations. Apparently they still have ways of seeing the info. but in my mind that means they have to revert to haking into the system, which worries me about the college's intergrity - I have a feeling I wouldn't want to attend the school after that. In any case, do they happen to realize how much total (possibly unfixable) damage they would cause by actually letting some parents see their children's personal (could I stress personal again?) information? Honestly...think; it's actually really useful, not to mention easy. Just takes a little more time and effort. And I have just realized I seem to have forgotten to take my only document of the Dwarven tongue with me. Either that or it got lost on the old flash drive, which is all kinds of bad.

    Irony; which Victoria confused for Ivory today. Does anyone else ever wonder that that girl who came up with my nickname (which would end up being used far more than even I expected) rarely calls me it? Oh, what my life would have been without her. I suppose I should actually start those papers now. Joel's still up, suprisingly (it's 1:44 now). What else have I done recently? I dunno; probably not worth too much mention. Funnily enough, I don't think I've ever used journals mostly to write down what I actually physically do during the days.

    Maybe I'm just a clown throwin' down
    Lookin' to come up busted
    I'm a thief in the house of love
    And I can't be trusted
    -Bruce Springsteen

    Know the one down-side of being a Bruce fan? Most of all the other fans are 40 or older...
