You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do

I think Mindy Smiths version of Jolene works as a song because the singer builds up the Jolene character so well, telling her how shes like the...

A person is like a flower of consciousness

Also, a person is like an electric shock.

Also, a person is like a gap / wet / bloody / hot.

I watched Donnie Darko last night with the director/actor commentary. Sometimes its necessary to let a sick reality collapse. You know. Go back to the start, and understand that it never actually happened that way. Then wait fifteen seconds. The little universe that never could disintegrates as always. Derr It reminded me of The Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher. Because of the time-travel stuff. Make...
