do you have a dollar?

i went down to the coin laundry today....as i often do...(mainly because its where all the cool kids hang out)! i needed to dry some clothes (our dryer is broken)...so i got my clothes and put them in the dryer.....i had a pocketfull of coins.....BUT! i didnt have a dollar.....and it turns out our good friend Lisa Mitchell aint lieing....it only accepts dollars.....i went round to the chinese deli and explained my situation to the man....i wanted to swap my 2 dollar coin for 2 one dollar coins.....he was angry saying i should have thought about it before i came down! he did do the swap.....but he wasnt happy about it.......

later that day...i was walking in the city....and i saw a boy....around the same age as me....sitting on the group with a sign....saying "Do you have a dollar to spare?"
people were just walking past him. i went and gave him my extra dollar....but this got me thinking.....some people are soooo hung up over money.....that greedy delicatesen didnt want to swap my 2 dollar coin for 2 one dollar coins....while there are men, women and children sleeping on the street begging for money.....

i want to pose this question to you....while your cosy in your bed tonight...think...had you seen the boy on the street....truthfully....would you have given him your dollar??

im just a boy

you know when you are in a wierd mood, and then that song comes on....and it reminds you of good times, funny times or perhaps it just suits your mood sooo perfectly that you have to put it on repeat and just listen again and again. This song holds a special significance for me.....whenever i feel like i can't achieve something...and think "its just not good enough" i remember it.

"Just a boy"

I bit my tongue in the awkward conversation.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
Do you believe that there's treasures in the ocean
Did I say I'm just a boy?

One kiss from you and I'm drunk up on your potion.
That big old smile is all you wore.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Things I've never felt before.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
You can hold me to that.

No lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing
I don't know why
I don't know why
You took me in gave me something to believe in
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl you make me want to feel
Things I never felt before
Girl you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy
Did I say I'm just a boy
You can hold me to that

lovegame

"Lets play a lovegame, play a lovegame, Do you want love? or you want fame?"

It seems todays youth is fixated on playing.....lovegames
remember when it was as simple as "I like you....wanna go out?"
these days its about lovegames!
we all know people that should be together but arent because they are playing the game!
So why do we play lovegames?
is it because we were brought up on trashy reality tv games??
or are we just sick horrible people that enjoy seeing the pain of others??
.....or both?!?
or have we always played lovegames?
romeo and juliet was pretty fucked.....they both killed themselves.....have lovegames always been around?
with technology are they getting more severe?
love is messy.....and is a game.....but who is to decide the rules?
and what happens when someone wants out?
