Favorite Quote:
"And they say we'll never see half as much
as they did. It's true that we never saw Vietnam
or World War Two. We didn't see our mother's cry
when John F. Kennedy died, but we've lived our
whole lives being told that we're just not good
enough. We've seen anorexia and bulimia because
skinny just isn't skinny enough. We saw Columbine
and watched the Twin Towers fall. We've seen a
lot of greed and even more hate. Our generation
fights a different kind of war but we've seen just
as much as them.. and maybe even more."

Once upon a midnights dream,

Your face flashed across my memory.
Once upon a midnights dream,

Your smile flashed across my memory.
Once upon a midnights dream,

Our love danced across my heart.

Once upon a midnights mare,

Your treachery pierced my heart.
Once upon a midnights mare,

Visions of her laughed at my heart.
Once upon a midnights mare,

I realized I no longer needed you.
