The Kids Just Want A Love Song

A very good day. Very good.

This morning, I woke up in a rage for some reason, but slowly, as I awoke, I decided there was no need for such anger. Obviously, I was just in a frenzy because usually every morning I wake up angry. I have to learn what that's all about.

Anyway, I decided staying home all day wouldn't do me any good, so I thought of that coffee shop I went to earlier in the week with my class, dressed myself, and off I went to adventure. Bridgehead Coffee House - if you live in the Ottawa area, I suggest you check it out. There's many around town, but the one on Richmond is awesome. So I took the bus, went to Westboro, and drank some delicious coffee (and ate a delicious sandwich) while reading about 60 pages of John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism essay. It was good, I learned alot - took many notes. So now I understand what the hell I'm supposed to be learning in that class. Unfortunately, I have to read 350 pages in my other book, because I'm so far behind. Oh well, that's my fault.

After 3 hours of mindless reading, I went up to the American Apparel, and saw nothing that I had in mind to purchase. Then I went to a place called Mrs. Tiggywinkles, and had a good laugh at all the products they have there. Some of the stuff is just so ridiculous - like a book on How to Get Fat, Stickers for the shower (so you don't slip and die) which were conveniently in the banana shape, haha. I thought they were cute. Someday, I might buy them for my future home.

I downloaded an artist that I should have been listening to for a long time, it almost makes me upset that I haven't listened to him before now. Ben Harper - I know, have I been living under a rock or what? haha. Anyways, I want to share some lyrics because the way he writes is simple, yet one of the most powerful artists I've ever heard in my life.

Off to work on an assignment due Tuesday.

Welcome to the cruel world.
Hope you find your way.
Welcome to the cruel world.
Hope you find your way.

Oh- Oh- it's a cruel world.
Try to enjoy your stay.
Yes, it is a cruel world when you're tryin' to get by.
Oh- Oh- it's a cruel world when you're tryin', when you've seen the look in their eye.
Makes life hard living but I'm so, so scared to die.

Welcome to the cruel world, welcome.

Don't know how we've lasted here so long.
There must be more good than bad or we'd already be gone.
And if you get up to Heaven before I do, I'm gonna tell ya, it's gonna be cruel there too.
You can't hide from this cruel world cause there is no place to run.
You can't hide from the cruel world there just is no place to run.
It's been cruel from the beginning, it will be cruel when we're done.
So when I'm gone, I will gladly say goodbye.
When I am gone, I will gladly say goodbye,
and if you want to feel me, put your hands up to the sky.

Welcome to the cruel world,
Hope you find your way.
Try to enjoy your stay.
