Depression can suck.....

Ok, I seriously think my hometown is cursed right now.
In the past couple of months, we've lost 4 young people. Young as in 2 were in their early 20s and the other two were between 14-16 years old.
We lost Zach Zeigler and Jordan Houghton in a brutal car crash near the end of the class of 2008's last months. When I say brutal, I mean the caskets could not be opened because it was so bad.
We lost the 14 year old named Philip Davis to overdose. I still can't believe someone that young would even think about committing suicide with pills at that age.
Yesterday, at 2pm, we lost a young man named Matt Shelnutt. He was found in Fishers Landing in Clayton hanging. I don't understand why he would do something like this; he should know how much people care for him. It might have been drugs that made him do it, but I won't know for sure.
So, I just thought I'd share with you how messed up my hometown is right now.

Drama Club

Is there anyone here interested in joining the drama club? We have some people, but I think we'd be better if we had a few more. We meet next Friday @ 2 so if you are interested, come on by!

One of my favorites. I'm hooked on this song. It sounded amazing live, and I thought I'd share it with you all. Plus, I love Final Fantasy games. Enjoy!

What the hell?

Seriously, I always post 3 times a week, just like Robert says to. And yet, when I look at my pieces of work, I see no comments. There's 2 comments on one of my pieces, but everything else has nothing. What's the use of posting these if no one is going to read them and comment? I think it should be an assignment every week for people to comment at least twice a week on other blogs. You can't comment twice unless you commented everyones at least once. Let me know what you think, Robert Strong.

Poem

Here I am,
Take me as you will,
Standing strong, standing tall.

Here I am,
Flesh and bone,
Standing alone.

Here I am,
White and true,
Hair blowing freely.

Here I am,
Aging slowly,
Beauty fading away.

Here I am,
Dead in my grave,
Still standing tall.....

Our Song

"Far Away"

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

"Far Away" by Nickelback is my boyfriends and my song. It fit perfectly at the time because it was close to summer, and I was going to be heading to my first year of college. He was worried that I was going to forget about him, and I told him to just always listen to this song, and he'll know deep within his heart that I will NEVER forget about him.

Another one of my favorite songs I thought I'd share. This band hooked up a couple summers ago over a show called Rockstar: Supernova. Lukas Rossi won this contest, so he became the lead singer of the band. He wrote this song, and if you watched the show like I did, he said that this song is about his mother. I related to my dad in a way, because we get in a lot of fights.
Unfortunately, this song has an edited part; he said, "you're god damn mind" but it silenced the word out.
