Here's some lyrics from a song I really like.  This was trasnscribed
in<BR>
one pass through the song, so I guarantee it's not perfect.
<BR><BR>
I can touch you now.  I can knock you down.  You never say a word at<BR>
all, but now -- you can touch me, just say you love me.  Just say you
love<BR>
me, that's how I get knocked down.  You touch me.  That's how I get<BR>
knocked down.  You touch me, that's how I get knocked down.  You touch
me.<BR>
You touch me.  I can stand my ground.  I could shut you out, with the<BR>
highest walls you know all about, but you still touch me.  You still
touch<BR>
me, that's how I get knocked down.  You touch me.  That's how I get<BR>
knocked down.  You touch me.  That's how I get knocked down.  You'll
touch<BR>
me.  You touch me... Go.  You knocked me down...  You knocked me...
You<BR>
knocked me down...
<BR><BR>
You could say it.  You could say it, then watch your words come
washing<BR>
over me.  Oh, me.  Come washing over me.  Oh me, come washing over me.<BR>
You knocked me, inside you knock me down.  Over me.  Go...
<BR><BR>
I could touch you know.  I could knock you down.  You never say a word
at<BR>
all and now, you could touch me, just say you love me, just say you
love<BR>
me, that's how I get knocked.  Just say you love me, that's how i get<BR>
knocked down.  You touch me, that's how i get knocked down, you touch
me,<BR>
that's how i get knocked down.  Go...
<BR><BR>
Knocked down is the name of the track, it's a really neat track by a
band<BR>
called "File Not Found."  Despite the cheesy name, this is a great tra
ck,<BR>
and the rest of their stuff is certainly worth listening to.  To hear
this<BR>
track, go to <BR>

Here's an excerpt from my journal since my musings haven't been a high<BR>
enough priority lately.  Believe me, my journal isn't either,<BR>
unfortunately.<BR>
<HR>
<EM>Journal Entry: 1.18.00</EM><BR>
<BR>
I'm breaking the rules; it's not bedtime and I'm journaling.  I suppose
I<BR>
can live with myself.  I <s>came</s> am coming close to the downhill
slide<BR>
I took last semester.  Last night I was up late working w/ Linux.  On
the<BR>
up side, I got a lot of work done with it.  It's set up very nearly
the<BR>
way I want it.  I have TV working, the webcam up (had to touch a bit
of<BR>
code for that; it was fun), desktop looking nice, ICQ, AIM clones
running.<BR>
Things left to do include: licq, a PIM w/ email, palm pilot sync, word<BR>
processor, html editor, and whatever else sounds fun.  The problem
with<BR>
that was that I wanted to get homework done.  I assured Andrew I
wouild<BR>
and I'm so disappointed his doubts will be confirmed.  I want to steup
up<BR>
so badly.  This is the semester for excellence--the semester I reset
my<BR>
standards.  by the way, right now I'm outside my <b>Leadership in<BR>
Literature</b> class relatively early.  The second reading selection was
in<BR>
a book I don't have yet, and none of the bookstores had it so I swung
by<BR>
here intending to read it after I bought it, but no such luck.  ******
has<BR>
been confiding in me a lot lately about *his/her* situation with
******.<BR>
I want to be a good friend and I think this involves listening more.
I'm<BR>
approachable enough to confide in, honest enough to keep it to myself,
and<BR>
I've learned to listen a lot, but there's more to go.<BR><BR>
I'm a little frustrated with Jean and Dave.  They're both treating
each<BR>
other poorly, and whoever is "more right" in whatever inane
disagreement<BR>
(and nodody agrees moreso that most of their disagreements are inane,<BR>
and mostly baseless than them.  Correct me if I'm wrong) they're
having<BR>
changes (even if I happen to personally agree with "more right")
nothing<BR>
about the fact that they are mutually responsible for the atmosphere
that<BR>
exists between them.  <BR><BR>
Sara(h?) and Fred broke up today.  It sounds like a rough situation,
but<BR>
I don't know enough to make an objective call.  Either way, I feel bad
for<BR>
both of them.  I don't know whether it's worse to be dumped or dump,
and<BR>
believe me, I've been on both ends of the stick before.  (Even if yes,
I<BR>
have recieved the "shaft" end more often than not.  ;-)

Ok, straw poll time.  Please let me know what you thought of my
posting<BR>
journal entries.  It's a little odd, I feel like that's a little much
--<BR>
journal and musings should be seperate, dang it.  Well, I'm not sure<BR>
it's vaguely voyeuristic.  I'm sure I mangeled the spelling on that.<BR>
