Unfun

Yesterday Mike wouldn't turn off the news. Nevermind that for 3 hours, they kept repeating the same things every 7-9 minutes. I am so sick of the phrase "shock and awe". And all day I felt like I was being kicked in the stomach. I've pretty much taken up biting my nails again. Stone Phillips and Shepherd Smith are both really dumb names.

I want to get out of here.
I want to know where Jon is.
I want chocolate.

For the moment, chocolate is the most viable of the three. Think I'll go find some before I go home.

This whole deal with the phone being out... (It's finally back on)...I've now officially surpassed my 600 daytime minutes for the month. BUT I have a $92 credit on my bill (Long story) So I don't have to pay anything on this bill and will only have to pay like half of the bill after that. Chelle can go back to using the regular phone to call Dave 12 times a day. So anyway, if you call me during the day and I don't answer, fear not...I will call you back after 9pm eastern time or all day on the weekends.

Two Thousand Years

In the beginning
There was the cold and the night
Prophets and angels gave us the fire and the light
Man was triumphant
Armed with the faith and the will
That even the darkest ages couldn't kill

Too many kingdoms
Too many flags on the field
So many battles, so many wounds to be healed
Time is relentless
Only true love perseveres
It's been a long time and now I'm with you
After two thousand years

This is our moment
Here at the crossroads of time
We hope our children carry our dreams down the line
They are the vintage
What kind of life will they live?
Is this a curse or a blessing that we give?

Sometimes I wonder
Why are we so blind to fate?
Without compassion, there can be no end to hate
No end to sorrow
Caused by the same endless fears
Why can't we learn from all we've been through
After two thousand years?

There will be miracles
After the last war is won
Science and poetry rule in the new world to come
Prophets and angels
Gave us the power to see
What an amazing future there will be
And in the evening
After the fire and the light
One thing is certain: nothing can hold back the night
Time is relentless
And as the past disappears
We're on the verge of all things new
We are two thousand years

-Billy Joel
