The Pretender
The Pretender by The Foo Fighters
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, but
The wheel is spinning me
It's never ending, never ending
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one.
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one.
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one.
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one.
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another.
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one.
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one.
(You know they all... pretend)
You're the pretender

Guilty As Charged.
This is an excerpt from a Gamesradar article, written by Deanna Morono, titled Game over: 8 game characters to avoid when seeking love advice.
Joseph Allen, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Beware of loving too much.
Above: Check out the file of Joseph Allen’s boss
For the love and dedication of his country, Private First Class Joseph Allen goes deep undercover to infiltrate a terrorist cell (which earns him kudos), but his attractiveness as a proper lover fizzles when his devotion to playing his role leads him to participate in the massacre of hundreds of innocent people in a Moscow airport. Instead of mowing down Makarov’s goons and dying a hero, his unwavering loyalty pilots him to his grave as a terrorist. Too much passion in a relationship could prove as devastating. Don’t smother a woman by pouring all your attention over her all the time, for a woman’s scorn is worse than a bullet to the head.

You don't have to lie to me. I can't tell when I'm wanted or not.
I'd rather you be honest with me instead of fishing for excuses. Why do I think that way? It's obvious isn't it, how low down the pecking order I am in your plans, when you have time or make time for other people but I seem to be an afterthought.
I'm so tired of it all. It's very hard to keep hold of something you love when with each passing day it seems to get more and more impossible.
P5hng Me A*wy.

Falling To Pieces
Breakeven by The Script
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even, even, no
What am I supposed to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't break even, even, no
What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even)
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm trying to make sense of what little remains, oh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break
No it don't break, no it don't break even, no
What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even)
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no

Ride of the Rohirrim
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCARXI0WvGo
In my opinion, the best scene in The Return of the King, possibly all the best of all 3 movies.
It's the 2nd day of the battle in Minas Tirith, where all hope seems lost as the men of Gondor are vastly outnumbered in battle. The gate has been breached, Denethor is about to burn his son alive, and Gandalf just got his ass handed to him by the Witch King. Just as he is about to move in for the kill, a horn sounds from afar. Rohan has arrived!
But it's a paltry force (in comparison) that arrives to combat the orcs. 6,000 riders against tens of thousands of the vile creatures, and they stand little chance of surviving, let alone winning the battle. King Theoden knows this, and given the overwhelming odds, calls to his men to embrace death:
Arise, arise, riders of Theoden!
Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered,
A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now! Ride now!
Ride! Ride for ruin! And the world's ending!
Death!
Death!
Death!
Forth Eorlingas!
And instead of cowering in fear, instead of running in shame, they scream "Death!" and charge, at first purposefully, menacingly, then the theme song of Rohan plays. Epic moment. The riders break into a headlong charge screaming "DEATH!" as they ride to their doom in an attempt to save their brethren.
Simply beautiful scriptwriting, screenplay, music and acting. Wonderful.

I Can't Do This Anymore
I know what SJ said that night, and I fully agree with whatever he said, so much that I was totally confident of imparting the philosophy to Cel when we met up the other day. It totally makes sense to me and it's a very simple and clear way of living your life, defining your relationships, but best of all, keeping your sanity.
But good God, why can't I seem to practice what I preach?
I suppose when I prayed for a sign or a message that if what I was doing was right, the lack of a sign/message/response now probably means I should just give up altogether.
It hurts, it really does, but perhaps I would retain a measure of my sanity.
Lord please guide me as to what to do next. Please give me strength.
