Angry Angry Woman - Beware!

Simple plan summarises my thoughts for the day:


We're not gonna be just a part of their game
We're not gonna be just the victims
They're taking our dreams and they tear them apart
'Till everyone's the same
I've got no place to go
I've got nowhere to run.
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all


I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
Me against the world
It's me against the world

We won't let them change how we feel in our hearts
We're not gonna let them control us
We won't let them shove all their thoughts in our heads
And we'll never be like them
I've got no place to go
I've got nowhere to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
It's me against the world
World….world…world…
Me against the world
World….world…world…(scream)

Now I'm sick of this waiting
So come on and take your shot
You can spit out your insults
But nothing you say is gonna change us
You can sit there and judge meS
ay what you want to
We'll never let you win.

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
Me against the world

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I'm gonna prove them wrong
They'll never bring us down
We'll never fall in line
I'll make it on my own
Me against the world

Be Kind...Rewind!

You know those moments in your life when you kind of wish you could take back...I try to keep these sorts of moments to a minimum in my life, but it seems they just kind of sneak up on you. It tends to be okay if an action is logical and reasonably motivated, and people give you the benefit of the doubt. There are worse consequences if you let your guard down and become an emotional wreck. So the latter has happened to me a couple of times since I last posted making me more of an angry and disillusioned person, mainly due to my concerns about what other people did (and consequently now) think of me.

It has however made me think more about how I am now and where I want to be, and whether I would ever be strong enough to be pleased with anything other than superficial/material things. This feeling has definately been exacerbated by my watching of an interesting (although quite poorly made) documentary I watched StartUp.Com about a two dudes who started up their own .com business. People who have a common vision, and then through the financial and material greed forgo friendships and relationships with people.

How fickle is the human spirit? Really, when it comes down to it everybody has a price.

With the events of last week, and the massacre at Virginia Tech (my condolences to anyone that may have known someone affected by the event) - a lot of interesting conversations have circulated around the office. It did make me question how far I could go...so I have been asking a lot of people this hypothetical question: "Would you ever consider robbing a bank if you knew you could get away with it, and there were no consequences?"

There have been a varying number of responses - I think a lot of people have taken the moral ground by stating that they would never...I'm not so sure!

So thank you to the people that have been very supportive of me of late! You know who you are. I greatly appreciate it :-)

Also, to those people that responded re: the vaccine thing - FYI, it turns out that I am in an extreme minority. Apparently everyone believes and trusts people who wear white coats - refer to the Milgram Experiment
