recommended music type thing of the day:

what goes around (poison) by nas
(…another one of those rare rappers with REAL hip hop — a REAL message — in mind … moderate swearing and stuff…)

and this great song:
a change is going to come by sam cook
(if you’ve seen the amazing epic malcolm x movie, this song will make you wanna cry… at least it makes me wanna cry — they play this just before and sort of while malcolm is assassinated…)
it’s an oldie, sort of, a protest song
gotta love them

what’s the difference of never knowing at all?
when every step i take is always too small.
maybe it’s just something i can’t admit, but lately,
i feel like i don’t give a sh
*t.

motivation: such an aggravation,
accusations: don’t know how to take them.
inspirations: getting hard to fake it.
concentration: never hard to break it.
situation: never what you want it to be.

what’s the point of never making mistakes?
self-indulgence is such a hard habit to break.
it’s all just a waste of time in the end.
i don’t care so why should i even pretend.

nothing’s new, everything’s the same.
it keeps on dragging me down, it’s getting kind of lame.
i’m falling further behind, there’s nothing to explain.
no matter what you say nothing’s gonna change my mind.

can’t pretend, on doubt until the end.
it seems like leaving friends has become
this year’s trend and though i can’t pretend.
it’s not the same but who’s to blame
for all those stupid things i never said.

this goes out to those 237 people that i madly and hopelessly am in love with…

how can i tell you that i love you,
i love you,
but i can’t think of right words to say…
i long to tell you that i’m always thinking of you,
i’m always thinking of you,
but my words just blow away … just blow away…

it always ends up to one thing, honey,
and i can’t think of right words to say…

wherever i am, girl, i’m always walking with you,
i’m always walking with you,
but i look and you’re not there…
whoever i’m with, i’m always, always talking to you,
i’m always talking to you,
and i’m sad that you can’t hear … sad that you can’t hear…

it always ends up to one thing, honey,
when i look and you’re not there…

i need to know you, need to feel my arms around you,
feel my arms around you,
like a sea around a shore…
and each night and day I pray, in hope that I might find you,
in hope that I might find you,
because hearts can do no more…

it always ends up to one thing honey,
still i kneel upon the floor…

how can i tell you that i love you,
i love you,
but i can’t think of right words to say…
i long to tell you that i’m always thinking of you,
i’m always thinking of you…

it always ends up to one thing, honey,
and i can’t think of right words to say…

woke up around an hour ago
prayed and read

was sent this, quite interesting:
http://www.seruv.org/

essentially, soldiers in the israeli army are refusing to serve in the west bank — because of the brutality and injustice involved in doing so

that’s one site that won’t be mentioned on cnn (trademark of big@$$ corporation aol-time-warner which will serve the purposes of its one and only god — the almighty dollar, and therefore will suck up all the propaganda that spews forth from uncle sam and will re-spew it out into the world)…

situation reminds me of a buffalo springfield song, also quoted in parts by public enemy…

there’s something happening here
what it is ain’t exactly clear
there’s a man with a gun over there
telling me I got to beware

i think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
everybody look what’s going down

there’s battle lines being drawn
nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

i think it’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
everybody look what’s going down

what a field-day for the heat
a thousand people in the street
singing songs and carrying signs
mostly say, hooray for our side

it’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
everybody look what’s going down

paranoia strikes deep
into your life it will creep
it starts when you’re always afraid
you step out of line, the man come and take you away

we better stop, hey, what’s that sound
everybody look what’s going down
stop, hey, what’s that sound
everybody look what’s going down
stop, now, what’s that sound
everybody look what’s going down
stop, children, what’s that sound
everybody look what’s going down…

dream, dream dream dream
dream, dream dream dream

when i want you in my arms
and i want you and all your charms
whenever i want you, all i have to do is
dream, dream dream dream

when i feel blue in the night
and i need you to hold me tight
whenever i want you, all i have to do is
dream

i can make you mine
taste your lips of wine
anytime night or day
only trouble is, gee whiz
i’m dreaming my life away

i need you so that i could die
i love you so and that is why
whenever i want you, all i have to do is
dream, dream dream dream
dream

i can make you mine
taste your lips of wine
anytime, night or day
only trouble is, gee whiz
i’m dreaming my life away

i need you so that i could die
i love you so and that is why
whenever i want you, all i have to do is
dream, dream dream dream
dream, dream dream dream
dream, dream dream dream
