| OK, now I'm pissed off, because I even copied this journal before I hit the update entry button, and that didn't work, so I have already lost this entry once. Here's what I remember of it. My parents were watching this movie, Before and After, while I was trying to work, and I overheard this quote that just kinda struck me. "Your whole life can change in a second, and you never even know when it's coming." I thought about that for a while while I should have been thinking about Quebec, and I thought of how true that really is. One decision, one event, one person, can change your life forever. And a lot of times, you don't know it until it's happened. There are some things that you can see coming weeks, months, even years in advance, like moving, graduation, etc. But then there are those that you cannot predict. I can't really give many examples of those, because you never know what they are or how they impacted your life until much later. Have you ever thought about one thing that happened that changed your life completely? Have you ever thought about what would have happened had it not gone that way? Where would you be? What would you be like? Could it even have changed who you have become? There's a song about that, Dancing Nancies. It's a Dave song, of course, who else? But it really makes you think about that. I'll post the lyrics below, because I know most of you have never heard it. Sidenote: Dave will be in town July 31 and August 1. I am so there. Both nights, I hope. I just need to get someone to go with, because going to concerts by yourself is no fun. This may prove difficult however, because the 31st is Warped Tour, and a majority of my friends would probably rather go to that, because they have messed up priorities. :oP In addition, the prices of Dave concerts are not cheap, and I'm one of the very few that I know of who is willing to pay $120+ to spend 2 nights listening to Dave music. Nevertheless, DMB concerts rock my socks, so the saving starts now and the tickets go on sale within the month. Just, y'know, letting everyone know. Here's Dancing Nancies, as promised. (note: the lyrics to Dave songs vary slightly depending on the CD you are listening to. This one is from the Live at Red Rocks CD, which is my second favorite version of Dancing Nancies, but the CD that has my favorite is in the car, much farther away than my cd case. Besides, I am fairly sure that I posted that version sometime in the past, around the time that I got my Some Devil CD, so I'm sure you've already read it. o.~) Don't you ever wonder Maybe if things had been slightly different You could be somebody else Don't you wonder Maybe if you took a left turn instead of taking that right You could be somebody different Don't you ever wonder Could I have been? Don't you ever wonder Anyone, anyone Don't you ever wonder Well, could I have been? Don't you ever wonder Anyone, anyone, anyone Could I have been A parking lot attendant? Could I have been A millionaire in Bellaire? Well, could I have been Lost somewhere at Red Rocks? Could I have been Your little sister? Could I have been Anyone other than me? Could I have been Oh, anyone other than me? Oh, could I have been Anyone other than me? Could I have been Anyone... He stands, touch his hair, his shoes untied Tongue gaping stare Could I have been a magnet for money? Could I have been anyone other than me? Twenty-three and so tired of life Such a shame to throw it all away The images grow darker still Could I have been anyone other than me? And then I look up at the sky My mouth is open wide Lick and taste what's the use in worrying What's the use in hurrying Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy I am who I am who I am Well, who am I? Requesting some enlightenment Could I have been anyone other than me And then I'll sing and dance I'll play for you tonight The thrill of it all Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes But I'll work it out And then I look up at the sky My mouth is open wide Lick and taste what's the use in worrying What's the use in hurrying Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy Falling out of a world of lies Could I have been dancing nancy? A dancing nancy Could I have been anyone other than me? And then I'll sing and dance La la la Hey, la la la Hey, la la la Sing and dance La la la Hey, la la la Hey, la la la Sing and dance I'll play for you tonight The thrill of it all Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes But I'll work it out And then I look up at the sky My mouth is open wide Lick and taste what's the use in worrying What's the use in hurrying Turn, turn, we almost become dizzy (and that is why Dave songs are 9 minutes long) |
