"don't Ever Let Life Pass You By!"; Warning!

I love this song! It's "Warning" by Incubus. I think the lyrics have a great message:

Bat your eyes girl,
be otherworldy,
count your blessings,
seduce a stranger.
Whats so wrong with
being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

I suggest we
learn to love our-
selves before it's made illegal.
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to
see it all fall down.
Those left standing... will make millions
... writing books on the way it should have been.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

Floating in this
cosmic jacuzzi
we are like
frogs oblivious
to the water
starting to boil.
No one flinches,
we all float face down.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

Now here's the fun part! To keep from leting our lives pass us by...

Count your blessings! Say three things you're gratefull for.
See through sickness! Say the bright side of something ill.
Love ourselves! Say something you like about yourself.
Seduce a stranger! Give us your best pick-up line! (keep it clean!!! :gasp: )

I'll start!

1. I'm gratefull for hambergers! 2. Good friends! 3. The gift of words!

Terrible disasters like hurricane Katrina bring out the best in people. My school had a contest to see how much money we could raise for the relief fund in 5 minutes. We raised $1,100 U.S.!

I love how I can be myself, and not succumb to the herd!

*Walks forward seductivly* Your turn, Hot Stuff!

:lol:

- this forum cuz I'd be bored as hell if I wasn't on it all the time.
- freakin' awesome sci-fi
- funny stuff

It's true that Katrina was very horrible, but I can't help but be fascinated that an entire American city was wiped off the face of the Earth...which brings me to my next revelation which is: if all it took to drown NO was to break the levees, couldn't Al Qaida have just done that, and why haven't they done it yet?

O yeah this is supposed to have a bright side...umm. Well, at least they can't do that anymore cuz they're already busted! :lol:

I like my imagination that won't turn off.

Hey! Good thing I brought my library card, cuz I'm a-checkin' you out! *ba dum pshh*

:bitey: Spiky strikes again! :bitey:

-Beauty, Intelligence, and Choises...
-Someone stole my tire iron, now I get to buy a new shiney one.
-I like my selectivly compassionate side. Few people see it, none forget it.
-My best pick up line? It isn't spoken and has recently worked very well for me. I'm a massage therapist by trade so I just started massaging the object of my affection's hand while striking up a conversation. Then I ordered a cherry coke with real cherries and did my bar trick of tyeing the stem in a knot with my tounge. Cheap trick+plus soft hands= No longer single Lana. ;)

I can do that one too! Everyone's always amazed when I can too. Somehow I must not look like I'm a good kisser... <_<

1) Flyswatters, clean underwear, and my landlady(she feeds me :D )

2) I have labs until 10 o'clock on Mondays, but after that the week is nothing but fun!

3) I have a calming effect on the people around me, and I make a good shield.

4) Never actually done that before. I'd probably just start with: 'Can I buy you a drink?' It's an oldy but as long as she doesn't run away screaming I'd probably be okay...or I might try that cherry thing... ;)

C'mon Sig, you can do better than that, being a poet as you are! Try! B)

Well of course it does, with an attitude like that. <_< I'm sure there are many reasons why your life is worth living. Sheesh. I'm hardly an optimist myself, but at least I always have a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

I will fly down there and kick your ass if you don't straighten up. I've taught you better than that.

I know you are thankful for alcohol, good friends, and even better music. You don't like working, but the more you do, the sooner you can go to your intership in America. You like your rock star hair. And your best pick up line.... ( I don't remember, I was drunk but I think it worked! Kidding.)

I guess what I really need to say is stop being so damned depressed or I will give you something to cry about.

WOOT! Replies! Don't be timid people (esp. Siggy :++: ) You can do this as many times as you like!

-Incubus
-My Latin buddies (who voted me club historian! Yay me!)
-My computer :D
(-Spiky breaking the ice! Thanks buddy! :fpbls: )

My art class is all depressed and tormented, so though it's kinda a bad environment for creativity I'm not going to let it get to me! I'll drive them batty with my infallible cheerfulness! Briging it, mopers!

I like that I'm happy a lot of the time now (don't even ask...) and that I can see the brightness in just about every cloudy day!

"Is your father Vulcan, cuz you set me on fire!" :yfok: that's terrible!

Oh come on, tough lovin' will set just about anyone straight. I love my Siggy, he just needed a swift kick to get him out of his rut. Don't get me wrong, usually I'm first in line with a box of tissues and warm cooked meal. But that day just wasn't one of those days. :P

I'm feeling down right now... This is a good game to play when in a rut.

I'm grateful for... having all my limbs and digits.
And.... Mag teaching me to be independent and my own person.
And.... chineese food.


School sucks, but that's good because that means I have the privlage of an education.

I'm a person I'd like to be around. How many people do you pity because they have to live with themselves? I like me. I'm nice.

Hmmm <_< oh, what's there to loose?

I suppose I'm grateful for having you all to entertain me. And not being a leper. And that one time... you know the one.

I don't do pick up lines. If I have something to talk about then I talk, and surprisingly I usually end up being rather flirty, even though I don't try. Works better than any old pickup line.
