I'm going in [Thursday, Sept. 28, 2006, 10:03 am] I'm surviving. And I'm disappointed that I usually find that to be good enough. That all I have to do is get by. Just smile at the right times, do what other people tell you to do, get good grades, get along with people, don't get in the way, and things will be okay. And they are okay. But should "okay" ever be enough? It seems to be, for me. I feel like I should update more, but I'm going to leave you with a song by the brilliant, brilliant Five Iron Frenzy, that I listened to on one of my many bus trips yesterday. "Kamikaze" SING ALONG!! I don't know if it's just me but it seems that things aren't changing Every day is pretty much the same with a little rearranging If I do nothing I can't fail No blistered hands, no broken nails Killing time, I'm paralyzed with faded dreams and hollow eyes I've been waiting for a revelation for a moment of clarity Conflicts and convolutions ricochet inside of me There comes a time for throwing caution to the wind I feel the pulse again I'm going in (1, 2, 3 say when) like a flaming arrow (soaring in the wind) A leap of faith (and i finally feel alive) 3, 2, 1, I'm going in I am so slow to commit I have wasted years on fences Is it really true the shoes don't fit? is it only my defenses? What if i don't measure up, don't listen well, don't smile enough? Alone and unknown up 'till now need to change direction somehow I've been open to persuasion wanting someone to take the lead It's alittle disconcerting signing up for eternity there comes a time for throwing caution to the wind and so my life begins
