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...

Well, only one class today; I thankfully woke up on time for it. Did laundry, which I forgot to do yesterday.

Have found some hilarious videos, as well. There's one as a preview for if the game Minesweeper was ever made a movie. Which of course made me want to play minesweeper again. I love having that on the calculator. Anyway, if you've ever played or been a fan of the game, you'll absolutely love it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHY8NKj3RKs.

Also on the note of parodies, I happened to find one to Miley Cyrus's I Can't Wait to See You Again. I don't know if any of you have heard that song; I hope not, because my respect for you would drop steadily and it would mean you waste what little free time you have surfing the internet. Oh, yeah, Generation Y (remember your audience, Jon, remember your audience...). In any case, in a video that borders on stalkerish and creepy, yet still sounds great musically, Dave Days parodies the song. It's pretty funny; most of his videos are, actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6D4TQ3KQW0.

On that note, to more fully numb (and deteriate) my mind, I watched the video for 7 Things, largely because Dave made a parody of that too and I got bored pretty quickly; I don't think I watched the full thing of that one. In any case, I watched the original, to which I laughed and reaffirmed the reason why I dispise pop music (I mean, other than the fact it's generally talentless garbage - honestly, it's not that hard to write your own lyrics).

So, for those who are smart enough to avoid headaches from the current media of our day and age by living under a rock - the song basically is talking to a past boyfriend, listing the 7 things Miley dislikes about him.

The song itself wasn't too bad, at first. Throughout the video, a whole slew of other girls either dance, hold past teddy bears or other objects that remind them of their significant asshole, or lip-sync Miley's words.

Of course, the girls look like their about to cry throughout the whole thing (because that's what girls do during a fucked up relationship, right? For every single one. Just tons and tons of girls - they all have the same exact identical reactions to the same situation).

But then the best part was after tearing our hearts out by their frustrsation over this deucebag and crying, then they decide to list the reasons why they like this guy. And of course during so, their eyes can't face the camera and gotta bite the lower lip. And then they note how their still in love with the guy; aw. Abusive relationship, much?

And while the many (many) displayed girls are quite heterogeneous (one of them striking me as quite butch), I have to note that they're all average to skinny in stature and all fairly pretty. Of course. Overweight girls don't have unsatisfactory relationships? Haha, in the long run, actually, that's probably true.

I have hw which will probably keep me up yet can't seem to work on it. Ay, so much for sleeping in today. I swear, all my energy is flushed away anyway.

When it boils to steam,
It comes to it
We all fiends - gotta do it
Even righteous minds go through this
True this
The streets school us to spend our money foolish
Bond with jewelers and watch for intruders
I stepped it up another level
Meditated like a Buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous dreams
Of getting cream
Let's do this
It gets te-di-ous
So I keep one eye open like C-B-S
You see me stressed, right?
