You better believe it

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

While she's deceiving me
It cuts my security has
She got control of me
I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades oh no
I can't believe it!
Cus you got it made with the guy in shades oh no

And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
Forget my name while you collect your claim
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
See the light that's right before my eyes

While she's deceiving me
She cuts my security
Has she got control of me
I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades oh no
I can't believe it!
'Cus you got it made with the guy in shades oh no
'Cus you got it made with the guy in shades oh no

Oh I say I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I say it to you now
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I cry to you
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night

I'M WATCHIN FROM THE CLOSET

Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song


Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded GOD complex, cock it and pull it

...(man that's sweet)...

Japanese are full of fun things to do

I have been to an onsen.  Wow.  Never thought I would say those words.  Mainly because before two days ago I would have never known what an onsen is.

for those of you who like me didnt know an onsen is a Japanese hot spring.

so.. first off... it was amazingly relaxing...

second off... i have never seen so many naked men at once.

they give you this little 6x10 inch towel.... and most of the time its sitting on the rock while you dip your rocks in a pool of hot water.  and who said the japanese dont know how to have a good time.  but really.. it was great and my back feels better now.. but how do i look at the two of my students who took me there the same way again.  haha...

anyways.... on a connected note.. japanese showers are now officially better than american showers... sitting down is a lazy mans dream....

and I definitely was the most well endowed man there behind a 30 year old English guy.  ONSEN=CURE FOR EGO.... haha... night

you never know about some people.. they just have this knack of turning out completely satisfactory right at the end... and then what do ya do... the only thing i know to do is give em a swift kick to the nuts... or something like that.. but that is how love is... and also sort of like death by chocolate

If this is you... don't ever talk to me

i found this poem on some chick's profile somewhere... and ...

you know what.. this is why i hate people that think they are mature or whatever and haven't grown up enough to realize that they are living in a box... if you're parents still have a say in who you date... it's not time to even think that whoever you are in love with is serious.

the only reason this makes me sad is that people could ever think this way...
i mean.. really.........

anyways.. here it is.

The night was dreary as the rain came down.
She said lets go for a ride away from town.
.All thru the ride she had nothing to say.
It was almost as if something stood in her way.
Then suddenly it came out of the blue.
My parents said I have to break up with you.
I‘m sorry she said I can‘t pretend.·
My parents said our love must end.·
She took off his ring as tears came from his eyes.
At the same time the fear of loosing her began to rise..
With tears threatening to fall he held them back.
As he unconsciously parked his car on the rail road track.
He wrote something down on a piece of paper..
He held her hand and said read it later.
He always wished they would never part.
He said in a sad voice you just broke my heart.
She opened the door & walked into the rain.
That’s when she saw the lights of the train..
Realizing to late what she had sighted
With a blink of an eye metal collided
All she could remember was blood running red.
And someone saying I‘m sorry he‘s dead.
The ambulance sounded like an agony cry.
Then she read the piece of paper and it said .


Without you I‘d die
