   Bad Religion
I'm listening to Bad Religion right now.

the song "Broken" really inspires me. The Lyrics are:

"Broken"

She said
Thanks but I'm broken
I guess
You must have misspoken
What a laugh
I've never been chosen by anyone

She was barely a teen
Hanging out in between
Just a part of the scene
With mercurial smile
And incurable style
She was only a dream
How's that
He didn't know a thing about
Making love to the kind of girl you read about

He said
I'm bound to be broken
My Daddy bet
That I'd amount to nothing
He won't let anybody show him anything

He was a troubled child
Had been down for a while
Always kept to himself
No she couldn't defend
He only wanted a friend
Now he's made something else
It's so sad no one saw it coming
The paper said that he hit the ground running

Oh yeah
I know I'm not broken
A little cracked
But still I'm not broken
I wanna laugh but I think that I'm choking on reality

When the
World is turning for you
Don't turn on me
Who are you here to repair
Well I don't know what you mean
You could never resist
Glorifying despair
Well now it's coming to you and I don't really care

Well I'm not
The kind to insist
You couldn't have missed
We must co exist
So please listen to me
There is no such thing as human debris

Oh yeah
I know I'm not broken
A little cracked
But dad I'm not so nothing
I wanna laugh
I'm not joking

I'm unbroken
Oh yeah I said I'm unbroken
I said I'm unbroken
A little cracked it's just a token
I'm really not broken
What a guess I'm unbroken


It makes me think of a story: "in an authoritarian future ruled by one overpowering gov't whose only goal is maintaining ultimate control and peace over the people, through any means necessary, a secret, loathe society exists to fight for freedom."

that's the movie trailer script. It's really about that backdrop, but this girl is outspoken against the gov't, and her mentor's lil brother shows up, they "get along" and hook up, and she gets pissed when he looses sight of her true, only goal: freedom. Then he fights harder than her, and makes changes. or something. And then they have kids, the gov't gets back in control, and she takes the blame for it, they kill her. sad ending.

sorta like Aeon Flux. But I had the idea first.
>:( i hate it when that happens

Seriously, I'm sadistic. My dream is to write a story that builds hopes so high that you feel it, and then to have utter failure.

Speaking of which, anyone see Letters from Iwo Jima? I did. It was SO. SAD!!!!! I wanted to cry.

it was good, but i didn't like it. I don't like war movies. Horror is fake, so it's like...eh, it's just some sicko's imagination. War is reality, real people died doing something they didn't even want to. I hate war, it's a stupid fucking waste of life. Things may not be able to be resolved other ways, but I say the PROBLEM starts from human greed and lust for power.

if people could let go of the material, then everyone could live happier and simpler lives.

damn
thank you!
