The management of this theatre, in cooperation with the state fire marshal’s office, request that you take a moment to look around the theatre, and familiarize yourself with the location of all emergency exits. The aisleways in which you entered, and the passageways designated by the illuminated emergency exit signs visible to you at either the right or left of the forward section have been checked and are clear exits from the building in the event of an emergency. Thank you for your time and attention.

Standing on top of the edge, it feels like it's going down
Everything stays in my mind, feeling in a daze on the ground
Feels like it's gonna give, life's to hard to live anymore
I think I've had enough- things too tough, I'm out the door

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down, what you gonna do?
Standing on top of the world tonight
No one's looking back at you
Stand tall-
It's going on, it's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on, holding on today

Things don't stop and the others announced they're moving on
Salt and tears in the minds in the mouths of a bad decision
Too late for another mistake- it's bringing me down
With all your faults it isn't your fault what's going on

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down, what you gonna do?
Standing on top of the world tonight
No one's looking back at you
Stand tall-
It's going on, it's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on, holding on today

So you lost yourself
So you lost your way
Found life through someone else
But you threw it all away

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down, what you gonna do?
Standing on top of the world tonight
No one's looking back at you
Stand tall-
It's going on, it's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on, holding on today

Times rolling on, rolling on today
It's going on, going on today

so florida was fun. great weather. great waves, too.

but i've missed you. so call me, now, and let's do something
you'll get to see me sporting my new and improved skin [it's red]

um...guess that's it

[the great one]
-cameron

i'm leaving early saturday morning for florida. i guess i'll see you all in a week.

pretty sure i saw that i had 22 comments on my last post, and i was like,
"HOLY CRAP! I'M FAMOUS!"

then i actually started reading them and realized that they were all from the same person...
...oh well
[thanks, stephy]

Shaun of the Dead is such an amazing movie...
...i wanna see it again...

i'll embrace dreams again when i can breath again
and at that point i won't be needing them
it became clear to me that i was fighting a war i couldn't win
you don't make it on your own merit, only royalty inherit the kingdom
and that's a system good intentions can't help
your courage is not good here so don't try to excel
what a sad day when you realize nothing can change
the revolution didn't leave you, it never came
there will be no parades, no royal balls
just long days topped off with last calls for alcohol
go to sleep, wake up and repeat the same routine-
smooth skin dressed with wrinkles and brown eyes with dark rings
and entertainers that sing of extremes that don't exist for you and me
when real life is reality tv, no reason our youth don't believe in anything
it's all a joke, there are no heroes, just those of us with high hopes

it’s just not that simple-
i’m not trying to save it all, i just want to create a ripple
and even if one individual is affected
it’s monumental with an unusual perspective
that’s beautiful in essence-
traditional thinking won’t suggest this
is life really that precious? well yes it is
but there will be no celebrations or congratulations
no pat on the back, just your mind intact
and the freedom to feel your heart beat at the speed of life
go to sleep tonight knowing you did it right
and rest easy outside of a system that resents you
for not doing what they expect you to do
psychologically wear you down and then they make the suggestion
that you get on a prescription to deal with your depression
anxious, lazy, temperamental, obese-
that’s what money makers like to call a disease
and they’ll be looking for or creating new problems
with profitable solutions to solve them
but you won’t get any better- you’ll just come back for more
until your medicine drawer is filled with unreliable cures
that’s the way of the beast and i can’t do nothing about it
i could shout it in a room that’s crowded
but i doubt it’d make a difference
so ignorance will be my disguise
’cause 21st century america likes it’s witchcraft civilized

all better. sorry about that.

so today didn't turn out too bad.
la siesta with seven girls...
i can't complain


i am very confused about certain things, though...

his new cd comes out today. i've already heard it, and it is amazing. definitely his best. and it really seems to parallel a lot going on in my life right now. [and for you Relient K fans, the single "Nuisance" features Matt Thiesson]
you can hear two tracks on purevolume [here]



batman begins
tomorrow 12:45
big theater
be there
or i'll be very sad

wednesday, meet at the big theater, about 12:45 or so.
movie starts at 1
possibly hit up camino real afterwards...

questions? comments? concerns? confessions?


*EDIT*
...*ahem*...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
...sorry about that...i had to let it out...
*sigh*

the last few days have been fun. many thanks to those who've managed to get me out of my house. mucho fun.

and i totally talked my mom into getting me a car [YES!!!]. i'll only have to wait a couple of weeks, now...

anyways. getting a group together for Batman Begins sometime next week. not for sure when, but prolly sometime tuesday or wednesday.

can no one release me from the monotony?!?!?!

today really sucked...

has anyone else ever noticed how life can somehow be amazingly good, yet terribly bad at the same time?

on one hand, i'm really happy, and proud
on the other, i'm really sorry, and feel like a jerk
on one hand, i feel calm and at peace
on the other, i'm really confused and lost
on one, excited and thrilled
the other, sad and depressed...

...i wish i was in florida right now. i could really use some time away from here...

ACT tomorrow, and i honestly couldn't care less... kinda bad... but i've already taken it once and got a good score... oh well.

The Breakfast Club is such an amazing movie. i love it. if you haven't seen it...something's wrong with you.

i've been doing a lot of thinking lately...
life just seems so pointless right now...

i have 31 friends now *score*

hmm...this week has been maaaarvelous.

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Turning in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights–
Almost left behind
A suitcase of memories
Time after–

Sometimes you picture me–
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me I can't hear
What you have said–
And you say–go slow–
I’ve fallen behind–
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look–and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you–I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you fall I will catch you–I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

After your picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows–I'm wondering
If you're okay
And you say–go slow–
I’ve fallen behind
The drum beats out of time–

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

i just got back from Opry Mills. Percussion XS had to perform for the Dance Works recital. it was pretty fun. but i had no money so i couldn't go to Jillian's afterwards...oh well. it's good to be home, i suppose.

cameron's rather happy lately, for several reasons.
i'm probably getting a job at the Boy's and Girls Club again. it won't pay much but it's a great job and a lot of fun. it looks as though i'll be getting a car by the end of summer, which is really good. i've also somehow ended up with several very good and fun games to play in my spare time, my story's getting further and further along without any trouble, i've discovered several scholarships to help pay for college that i didn't know about before...and one of the things i've been praying for for over 3 years now is finally looking like it might happen...


it pays to trust God in hard times, no matter how bad it is or how long it lasts. even though you may stumble, if you can keep your focus on Him, He'll bless you for it, and when you're out of your hole, you'll find that life never looked better.

God bless,
