I am at home, typing this on the laptop (which means I would copy/paste this as an actual entry later at the library). My little brother is watching SpongeBob right now on the television. It's kinda distracting me right now. I've been thinking...maybe it isn't a good idea to not add journal entries for a long period of time. I mean, I've already posted two entries since the time I had mentioned the idea. I suppose that I can't help myself, huh? My friend says I write too much. Heh, it's true, I do write too much. But that's alright. And you never know, a good thought *gets up to turn off television. arrgh, I can't think when it's turned on* may pop up, and like one famous dude said, "Thoughts are like fish. You have to stab them with a pencil before they swim away." Technically, I have a pen or a keyboard, but same thought applies here. The pages of my real life journal are starting to dwindle in number, so I will need a new one soon. I realized that it is better if I write out my thoughts onto a word document first instead of typing it straight into a journal entry because my time on the laptop isn't limited, giving me more time to write out what I want to say. I would imagine a number of people would say something like, "Why don't you just do your journaling on the laptop?" Most of the time, I don't mind sharing.

Now, what do I want to say? Well, I did title this entry Potential Lyrics so I guess I shall post some lyrics I have been working on for the past few days. I am not sure if they shall be part of a song or a poem. Oh well, that solution will arrive in time. I am also deciding to post a poem here that I wrote about two months ago. Would be pretty cool if I turned it into a song and published it.

"Bar of Life"

Staring out into a crowded room.
You can't see a face because of the haze.
I call out your name, and you can't hear me.
He pours it all out from his bottle,
and the cup overflows.

She's on her cell, sitting on a stool,
scolding her ex for treating her like a fool.
I tried to call out your name, yet no response.
They sit there and wait, waiting for something.
Something's gotta happen.

Why are we all waiting for something to happen?
Don't you know how precious time is?
I remember, and I try, and I try. It ain't nothing.
Each beating to one's own rhythm.
Break into the new system.

Send out another round, Charlie, another round.
Y'all better listen to that sweet piano in the background.
It calls out your name, yet no response.
You say "Cheers" with your beers.
But all I see is, for a moment, hiding your fears.

Sipping the cup of life with your fingers curled...

And some random lines that could potentially become lyrics.

I hope for a lot of things.
Will never know what tomorrow will bring, but
I'm ready to take any challenge head-on.
I'll take my part and change a heart,
we'll save the world, one at a time,
cuz you never know, life can stop on a dime.
Open up the book, take a look, you'll see,
if you give faith a chance, it'll set you free.
We're halfway there. And I can't take this anymore.
I won't stop fighting, and I won't stop trying
Til we reach the top. And take this plan and
come on, come on, it's no hopeless case.
No distractions, no denying, cuz
we're halfway there...

A cool breeze paints a picture in my mind...
and everything you've hoped for you will find...
I can't explain the feeling that I want to embrace...
a reality in time that I want to erase...

But it only comes in time,
I've still got time,
But why should I waste my time?

You painted a picture but I beg to differ...
there's so much than life right now
And we'd ask "but how?"

An inspiration, made of lock and key.
But you...only you hold the last of these three.
It's no joke, and I no longer wish to see that white smoke.

No excuse, so please come inside
while all else has allowed chaos to break loose.

I should do a quote of the day since I haven't done that in a while.
