Ryan Adams - Dear Chicago



From the album 'Demolition'.
Which I handily aquired from Help the Aged for the princely sum of £1.50 today.

Dear Chicago,
You'll never guess.
You know the girl you said I'd meet someday?
Well, I've got something to confess.
She picked me up on Friday.
Asked me if she reminded me of you.
I just laughed and lit a cigarette,
Said "that's impossible to do. "
My life's gotten simple since.
And it fluctuates so much.
Happy and sad and back again.
I'm not crying out to much.
Think about you all the time.
It's strange and hard to deal.
Think about you lying there.
And those blankets lie so still.
Nothing breathes here in the cold.
Nothing moves or even smiles.
I've been thinking some of suicide.
But there's bars out here for miles.
Sorry about the every kiss.
Every kiss you wasted.
I think the thing you said was true,
I'm going to die alone and sad.

The wind's feeling real these days.
Yeah, baby, it hurt's me some.
Never thought I'd feel so blue.
New York City, you're almost gone.
I think that I've fallen out of love,
I think I've fallen out of love... with you.

American Psycho




WHAAAAA?!

I think I must have missed something about this film.



EDIT:

"Patrick Bateman is one of many in the "Army of Wall Street." The excessive psychopathic activities he engages in are rendered invisible by his GQ fashion plate exterior, and matched only by the excess of the 1980's, particularly enjoyed by the disaffected young financiers who are also heirs to ungodly family fortunes. He has no obstacle character, an advocate to an alternative path--even society does not fill the bill, as it too is self-centered and tired. A subjective story, the relationship between the main and obstacle characters, does not exist--and whatever objective story may be alluded to is seen as a Cristal and cocaine kaleidoscope through Patrick Bateman's Wayfarer sunglasses. Without providing any perspective but his own, the novel is nothing but an end of millennium monologue--an extremely witty tribute to cannibalistic consumerism and serial killer techniques."

Juno





I love this film.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots



The final battle between brothers Solid and Liquid.

Robots with arms?
Mind control?
Woman with grey flowers?
Paris?
Vamp?!

So many unanswered questions.
Think about getting a PS3.

Autism has no place in the church.

"Minnesota Church Files Restraining Order Against Autistic Parishioner"


A Minnesota church is coming under fire for the way it's treating one of its parishioners.

Adam Race, 13, and his family did not go to mass at Bertha's Church of St. Joseph Sunday morning like they usually do.

The Todd County Sheriff told Adam's mom if she did take him to St. Joseph's, she would be arrested.

St. Joseph's has filed a temporary restraining order against Adam. In a statement, Father Dan Walz said he filed the petition as a last resort out of "a growing concern for the safety of parishioners".

Adam is severely autistic. He is home-schooled, and has attended St. Joseph's his whole life. He is also more than six feet tall and weighs more than 235 pounds.

In court documents, Father Walz said Adam's growing size makes it harder for his parents to manage his behavior during mass. Father Walz said Adam struck a child, bolts unexpectedly from church nearly knocking people down, including elderly people.

He said Adam also spits and urinates during church.

Carol Races said those allegations are either exaggerated or false. She said Adam is not angry or violent, he has never spit in church, and that on rare occasions, he has been incontinent.

Carol blames Adam's worst behavior, revving a church member's running car after mass, on a lack of accommodation from the church.

"They don't understand how the mechanisms of autism are working at the moment of these disruptions and so forth," Carol Race said. "And I want to point out that in the last couple of months Adam has been perfectly well-behaved. So that's what's shocking to me."

Carol said sometimes Adam is noisy and must be restrained during mass, but she said her family always sits in back and leaves church a few minutes early.

Be Your Own Pet - Becky



From the album 'Get Awkward'.

This track was scrapped from the US version of the album due to it's 'causal attitude towards violence in schools'.



We're BFF and you're such a good friend,
but I knew it couldn't last 'til summer's end.
You signed my yearbook, and that was pretty rad,
but now I'm getting sick of you and it's just too bad.

I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
to your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway, cuz I've got a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass,
we'll wait with knives after class!

But you know, I gotta say
I really loved going to your slumber party
It's too bad you got so lame
You told my secrets and it caused me a lot of pain

I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
to your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway, cuz I've got a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass,
we'll wait with knives after class!

Now give me back all the clothes you borrowed
Don't give me bullshit, bring 'em to school tomorrow
I can't believe I told you all about my secret crush
I wish I could take it back now that you broke my trust

It was great how you made me a friendship bracelet,
but I didn't know you made one for Becky's face lift!
Now you know everyone hates me a whole bunch
just because I made you cry a little bit at lunch.

But I don't feel bad,
'cuz they don't know what we had!
Doesn't matter anyway, cuz I've got a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass,
we'll wait with knives after class!

We don't like Becky anymore!
We don't like Becky anymore!
We don't like Becky anymore!
We don't like Becky anymore!

Now I'm going to juvey for teenage homicide
It'll would've been cool if you stayed by my side
And you know that you wouldn't have had to die,
but now every single night I cry

If only what you wrote in my yearbook was true--
then I wouldn't be stuck in fucking cell block 2
But I don't regret what I've done,
'cuz in the end, it was fun!

Doesn't matter anyway, cuz I've got a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass,
we'll wait with knives after class!

Ladytron - Ghosts



In the first days of the spring time
made you up and split from one thousand enemies
made a trail of, of a thousand tears
made you a prisoner inside your own secrecy

There's a ghost in me
who wants to say "I'm sorry"
Doesn't mean I'm sorry

At the first hour of the springtime
made you up and split from one thousand enemies

now I see you from the corner
clock strikes
and I know you will be drinking alone

There's a ghost in me
who wants to say "I'm sorry"
Doesn't mean I'm sorry.

Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes



Directed by Nima Nourizadeh

What I'm searching for
to tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
Walking by myself
down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me keep going
be a pass by waver
Build me up, bring me down
just leave me out you name dropper
Stop trying to catch my eye
I see you good you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy you fast talker

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe

What am I here for
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself
Not to know you
I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me
I am an introvert an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now
a face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself
an innovator

Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
tell you what
if I can shake it
I'm 'a make this
something worth dreaming of

Sugababes - Like The Weather

Rain Dropping Down On My Skin
And I'm Drowning Here Inside
Like I'm Caught In The Wind
And The Movement Of The Tide
It Makes Me Shiver...

Sun Crashing In On My Heart
My Emotions Flipping Round
Seasons End, As they stop
Every Time You Let Me Down
It's Never Over...

Boy I Never Know Which Way to Turn
Am I Safe In This Place?
Cause I Can't Seem To Trust What I Feel
It's So Confuzing...

Fast Like A Hurricane
That's How My Feelings Change
Torn Between Sun And Rain
I Love You Like The Weather

Always The 2 extremes
Theres nothing inbetween
Its either black or white
I love you like the weather...

In This Dilemma Again
And My Heart Is On The Run
No One Knows Who To Blame
And The Story Is Undone
It's Never Over...

Boy I Never Know Which Way To Turn
Am I Safe In This Place?

Always The 2 extremes
Theres nothing inbetween
Its either black or white

I Hate You, I Love You
I Can't Be Without You
Is It Wrong Or Is It Right?

I Fall Into Nights
I Keep Crossing The Line
Guess I'm Only Human...

Fast Like A Hurricane
That's How My Feelings Change
Torn Between Sun And Rain.
I Love You Like The Weather

Always The 2 extremes
There's Nothing Inbetween
Its Either Black Or White

Lindsay Lohan - Harper's Bazaar Photo Shoot

By Peter Lindbergh

"I definitely have gone through a change of people around me because I'm not in the scene as much. My friends have changed, too, and they've grown as well."

Lady Gaga - Just Dance



I’ve had a little bit too much, much
All of the people start to rush, rush
caught in a twisted dance
Can’t find my drink oh man,
where are my keys I lost my phone

What’s going on on the floor
I love this record baby but I can’t see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what’s the name of this club
I can’t remember but it’s alright a-alright

Just dance, it’s gonna be okay da da doo-doom
Just dance, spin that record babe da da doo-doom
Just dance, it’s gonna be okay

Wish I could shut my playboy mouth
How’d i turn my shirt inside out
Control your poison babe
Frozen as stones they say
And were all getting hosed tonight

What’s going on on the floor
I love this record baby but I can’t see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what’s the name of this club
I can’t remember but it’s alright a-alright

Just dance, it’s gonna be okay da da doo-doom
Just dance, spin that record babe da da doo-doom
Just dance, it’s gonna be okay.

Word Vomit



I dont know how more people havent got mental health problems

Thinking is one of those stressful things I've ever come across
And not being able to articulate what I want to say drives me crazy
I think I should try and read more books
And learn some new words
My sister used to read the dictionary
I'm going to start with that
I'd like to travel
I want to see India and the pyramids
A whale and that race with all the bicycles in France
I'm not sure about rivers, they scare me
But I love swimming, I'm good at it
And when I swim I think about numbers
And count the laps
When I was younger I saw a house burn down
And I walked past it everyday for the next six years
Derelict, black, chalky and dangerous
I wondered if squatters lived there
I'm still not sure but I know there were never any parties cuz it was shit
After a while the council got round to tidying the town
Making it less offensive here and there
They said it was an eyesore so they tore it down
Behind the house was a wall with a few bits of crabby graffiti and the word 'Cunt' written on it in giant letters
And now I walk past that
I like sitting in the park
And I like walking through it
I like taking my dogs there
And friends, and I like being alone
I like flowers and simplicity
I like compassion and thoughtful gifts
I like being able to shout
But I wish I could be quiet
When I'm quiet people think I'm sad
And usually I am
Sometimes when I'm at a busy train station
Somewhere big with the noisy trains like Kings Cross
I feel like putting down my bags and shouting things out because I've got something to say
Don't you want to share the guilt?
Don't think, just try and sleep

'Don't You Want to Share the Guilt?'
