Motivation

Can I have senioritis even though I'm not in school anymore? Lack of motivation and lack of pressing deadlines is a bad combination.
I had a wrestling match with my brother - At least he can't completely beat me yet - especially since he's still smaller than me.
I got a cool CD for Christmas from my roomie - Anna Nalick - I'd like to be able to write clever lyrics. I think that's why I like Switchfoot so much - just the way he puts words together is unique. I actually had to look up two words from the lyrics of the new Switchfoot CD - it sure made me feel like my vocabulary is lacking. But seriously, how many times in everyday language do you use pedantic and avarice? I hope I'm not the only one who needed the dictionary to define those words. My favorite on their CD is Golden - read the lyrics and you'll know how I feel sometimes.

You should really listen to this song -

Golden by Switchfoot

She's alone tonight,
With a bitter cup and,
She's undone tonight,
She's all used up,

She's been staring down the demons,
Who've been screaming she's just another so and so,
Another so and so


You are golden,
You are golden, Child

You are golden,
(Don't let go,)
(Don't let go tonight)


There's a fear that burns,
Like trash inside
And you're ashamed of the curse,
That burns your eyes

You've been hiding in your bedroom,
Hoping this isn't not how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes, It's your book now,
You're,

Golden,
You are golden, Child

You are golden,
(Don't let go,)
(Don't let go tonight)


You're a lonely soul,
Inlet of broken hearts
You're far from home,
It's a perfect place to start

(Yeah!)
(Burn,)
(Burn, Burn!)

So this final verse,
Is a contradiction
And the more we learn,
The less we know

We've been talkin' about a feeling,
We both know inside but couldn't find the words
I couldn't write this verse,
I've seldom been so sure,
About anything before

Golden,
You are Golden, Child

You are Golden,
(Don't let go,)
(Don't let go tonight)

This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are,)
Every breath is a singing crown away, (Golden, Child, you are,)
Like some debilitated king, (Golden, don't let go,)
Don't let go tonight

Earth Spins and your mind goes round' (Golden, you are,)
Green comes on the frozen ground, (Golden, Child, you are,)
And everything will be made new again, (Golden,)
Like freedom and spring, (Golden, Golden,)
Hey, like freedom and spring, (Golden, you are, hey,)
Like freedom and spring (Golden, Child, you are,)
(Gold...)
