okay, just so i'm not crazy... listen to avril levigne's don't tell me. but instead, sing along the words and melody to complicated. here are the lyrics for your convenience. they are edited a bit to fit the length of don't tell me. the song should be playing shortly:

Uh huh, Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

Chill out whatcha yelling for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're somethin' else
where you are and where it's at you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no

You're somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back, like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into
honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it 

you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

now you tell me. am i crazy for noticing any similarities?

Currently Playing Piano Man: The Very Best of Billy Joel By Billy Joel see related

I went to visit my friend Jul at Bloomsburg last night. despite what she might think, i had a super time. I mean, she did take me to a couple bars, but how was she supposed to know that i dont drink? oh, poor Jul. but i certainly made the best of it. after a couple of red bull energy drinks, i got up on stage and tore up the place with some karaoke. piano man was the hit of the night, followed by blurry. i havent done karaoke since Bernie and Brett were home for some holiday last year and we attempted bohemian rhapsody. anyhow, i'm at work. dont worry Jess, i'm off the clock. yes, i thought i'd take a half hour break and eat something, since i am going to be up all night. we are still remodeling, and the second set of shelves goes up tonight. well, at 3 am when john gets here. i've been here since 2 this afternoon, and depending on how this goes, i'll go home and sleep for a bit around 9 or 10 tomorrow morning.... well, just got off the phone with Kendra, and that half hour break has been turned into an hour and forty-five minute break. interesting conversation. well, i've said enough. back to work.

Currently Watching The Battle of Shaker Heights By Shia LaBeouf, Elden Henson, Amy Smart, Anson Mount see related

now i am frustrated... i'll admit it, my walk with the Lord has been far from perfect. okay, so who's hasn't? but i feel closer to Him right now than i have ever been in my life, and it is such a great high. in the last three weeks He has opened my eyes to so much more than i've ever known. so i'm not a perfect Chrisitian. but i can only think of one person who was, and that person died in the flesh two thousand years ago. am i forgetting someone? i didnt think so. so let me ask you this... who has the right to tell me that i dont know Him like i should? who can say that i have no interest in other people by how close they are to Jesus, and how well they can help me strengthen my relationship with Him? Who can judge me that way? Well, i didnt think anyone. but apparently its the same person who did it to me 2 years ago. why should i take a hit like that? why should i be judged by someone who is a sinner, just as i am? someone who doenst know every little detail of my life? i shouldnt be. and i wont be. i refuse to let that anger me. i am a man of God, and anyone who has a problem with that can answer to Him. God is my judge. not you, or anyone else.

- I Can Only Imagine -

Early night tonight. decided to leave work at 11, instead of ripping down aisle 5. but thats okay. its not because I'm lazy, its because i dont feel like it. thats right, i dont feel like it. got a problem with that? i didnt think so. well those of you who know me well enough to bother to read this probably already know that kendra and i arent together anymore. but for those of you who dont, where have you been? gosh. its not the easiest thing, especially since she told me that she wishes she had never met me. hm, thats a little harsh. but thats okay. it seemed like we were slowly pulling each other away from God, and thats a terrible thing to happen in a relationship. and then we just started being flat out mean to each other. so obviously its for the best. i wish her the best though, and hope she makes the right choices. luckily i have a demanding job and great friends to keep me busy. in fact, i made a new friend last weekend. well, technically ive known this person for years, but we just now began a friendship. and it couldnt have happened at a better time. i know that it seems weird... to see a person from a distance, have a few words with them once in a great while, and never think anything of it. then at a crucial time, this person appears from nowhere, and makes you feel great about yourself, and life in general. The Lord works in some crazy ways, but He sure knows what Hes doing. So, thanks to God, my friends, and my new friend, too. Thank you.
