JOURNAL:

I just want to apologize to all you that read my last entry and just thought....

"HUH?!?!?!"

It is a little tough to follow.

So for today, since I am feeling particularly inspired and playing with the idea of getting another job as a normal personal assistant or actually chasing my dream of finishing my degree by working 4 nights a week as a stripper and going to college full time at USC finally (the dream is to finish the degree, not the stripping part). I just have a touch of dignity in the way. Damn it.

Oh, and I am feeling very political. This country embarasses me sometimes with the ignorance, I only hope this election I am not disappointed.

So without further adu, I post the lyrics to my favorite BAD RELIGION song of the new album, the title track (amazingly enough), THE EMPIRE STRIKES FIRST.

*********************************
We strike first
And we're unrehearsed
Here we go again
To stage the greatest show on heaven and earth
Come on, get your money's worth

We're comin on fast
And we're built to last
We stumbled once in 'Nam
Now we're glad to finally say
Those days have passed
Tell me how long can it last!

We just started out
You don't need to be afraid
Yeah you deserve two minutes hate

Well, we spit and we cursed and our bleeding hearts burst
But even ten million souls
Marching in February couldn't stop the worst,
Couldn't reverse

Don't wanna live
Don't wanna give
Don't wanna be
E-M-P-I-R-E
Don't wanna live
Don't wanna be
E-M-P-I-R-E

I can't live
If it isn't with you
*********************************

I took out some of the repeat chorus' so there was not too much to read. But they are my favorite band in the universe... thanks to my ex. God love him, if there is a higher power that exists.

Lesson #19 - Never assume that change will come on its' own; the basis of democracy is to speak your voice - so do it and vote (or I will not care to hear your political views... sorry). That is it, VOTE!

Mahalo,
