Ask me anything
My favorite war book
Erich Maria Remarque: All Quiet on The Western Front
Reader Submission: Title and Redesign by Ben Knox.
from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
My favorite book of all time.
I wish I could read it again instead of the English 10C books I have on my desk. This is one of those books you hope people will continue reading, and that it won’t get lost with passing generations. I’ve never seen the movie, and I don’t want to, as it will probably ruin the book.
I don’t think I realized how far away Los Angeles was when I decided to go to school here. My home is in the same state, but it’s a long drive or a plane trip away. I see my mom only during the breaks, but she randomly came to visit this past weekend. Having her meet some more friends from school makes me realize how separate life at UCLA is from my life at home with my family. It was weird to see my mom and aunt in a dorm room…
I plan on staying here at school during the summer vacation. And I don’t think I’ll miss home that much. I miss it less and less as the months go by… I think that’s a good thing
Is it weird that this kind of music is what I run to? I’m always in the mood for a sad song.
i was on your porch
the smoke sank into my skin
so i came inside to be with you
and we talked all night,
about everything we could imagine
cause come the morning i’ll be gone
and as our eyes start to close,
i turn to you and i let you know,
that i love you
well my dad was sick
and my mom she cared for him
her love it nursed him back to life
and me i ran,
i couldnt even look at him,
for fear i’d have to say goodbye
and as i start to leave he grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me,
whats left to lose,
you’ve done enough
and if you fail well then you fail,
but not to us
cause these last three years,
i know they’ve been hard
but now it’s time to get out of the desert and into the sun
even if it’s alone
so now here i sit,
in a hotel off of sunset
my thoughts bounce off of sam’s guitar
and thats the way it’s been,
ever since we were kids but now,
now we’ve got something to prove
and i,
i can see their eyes
but tell me something,
can they see mine?
cause whats left to lose,
i’ve done enough
and if i fail, well then i fail, but i gave it a shot
and these last three years,
i know they’ve been hard
but now its time to get out of the desert and into the sun
even if it’s alone
even if it’s alone
i was on your porch last night,
the smoke it sank into my skin
Guster - One Man Wrecking Machine
I built a time machine
I’m going to see the homecoming queen
Take her to the Christmas dance
Maybe now I’ll get in her pants
Whatever
Back with my high school friends
Meeting where the train tracks end
Passing round a skinny joint
Rolling up to Lookout Point
I want to pull it apart and put it back together
I want to relive all my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
Back in my parents’ house
Back to the shouting out loud
One day you’ll be a man
One day you’ll understand
I want to pull it apart and put it back together
I want to relive all my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
Here in the present tense
Nothing is making sense
Waiting for my moment to come
Everything has come undone
I tried to pull it apart and put it back together
No point in living in my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
