Undone

I wrote a lot in my other Journal (My personal one, the one I carry with me all day.)

I heard this song (I think it came out in 1999) for the first time today. I heard it, and it reminded me of me. Except I’m the person they’re talking about…. and obviously the gender thing is a little screwed up, but just switch Her with him and you get the idea.

Dream – This is Me

This is me (this is me…) this is me

Ah… yeah… (this is me) c’mon…

She stole your heart

Only did it because she could

Chewed you up and swapped you around

That girl never was no good

Baby I will never do that

I’ll love you faithfully

But your suspicious mind thinks

I’m gonna repeat her story

She’s making you crazy

Making you a wreck

Making you follow me

Making me a suspect

You seem to think I’m playing her game

Don’t you know her name

That was her, this is me

We’re as different as can be

She and I we’re nothing alike

You confusing day with night

That was then, this is now

You wanna trust me,

But you don’t know how

I’m never gonna mess around,

Set you down, can’t you see

That was her (that was her)

And baby this is me (this is me)

(This is me…)

Stop making me feel bad

I’m the best thing you ever had

The only thing I’m guilty of

Is giving you too much love

(She’s making you crazy)

She’s making you crazy

Making you a wreck

Making you follow me

Making me a suspect

You seem to think I’m playing her game

Don’t you know, don’t you know her name

That was her, this is me (yeah)

We’re as different as can be (you gotta know)

She and I are nothing alike (yeah c’mon)

You confusing day with night (day and night)

That was then, this is now (now)

You wanna trust me,

But you don’t know how

I’m never gonna mess around,

Set you down, can’t you see (see)

That was her (that was her)

And baby this is me (this is me)

(This is me…)

Don’t suffocate me, don’t misunderstand me

Don’t make me pay, for all her mistakes

Believe or not, it’s in my kiss

(Don’t see things that don’t exist)

That was her (yeah) this is me (whoa)

We’re as different as can be (yeah c’mon)

She and I are nothing alike (no, no, no, no)

You confusing day with night (oh…)

That was then, this is now (this is now)

You wanna trust me,

But you don’t know how (you don’t know)

I’m never gonna mess around,

Set you down, can’t you see (can’t you see)

That was her (this is me)

That was her, this is me (oh…)

We’re as different as can be (uh… yeah)

She and I are nothing alike (oh, oh)

You confusing day with night (day and night)

That was then, this is now (you’re mine now)

You wanna trust me,

But you don’t know how

(You don’t know how)

I’m never gonna mess around

(Mess around…)

Set you down, can’t you see (c’mon)

That was her (that was her)

And baby this is me (get a grip)

Am I crazy, or just paranoid.

I think the latter

I was reading something, and I just thought, maybe games are teaching kids to be more violent, but mothers are saying, they were never violent as children. I have to wonder if the games are teaching them, but they were naturally skiddish. I have to wonder– is it better to have an aggressive child or a submissive one. As a submissive person myself I have to say, life as a submissive person, is not one anyone should have to live. It’s a vicious cycle. BLAH

But….. couldn’t video games also teach children to become assertive (the middle between submissive and aggressive) I don’t mean to say that people should make video games where the hero tries to talk reasonably with the villain first. I mean that with an appropriate dosage of real life interaction, as well as the training of aggression and aggressive behavior…. maybe the next generation of kids, can be a little more balanced.
