Throws her Dr. Martens at the cd player... puts on the Achtung Baby cd. Excuse me if I drop the F-bomb all over the place.

Funny how I read this thread as Walk On is playing. But here goes:
1.) Why?
- Just got out of midterm week which should be a good thing unless you failed all your midterms.
- I can't go to Salt Lake City to see U2 because of another midterm.
- My band's scattered across 4 freaking time zones!
- Lazy co-workers that make you do all the fucking work while they sit on their rudie-poo-candy-asses and do jack.
- Lazy-ass co-workers who keep fucking up and you end up picking up the pieces and taking the rap from angry customers.
- Bad managers.
- My aunt's boyfriend who doesn't know anything about class, treating a woman right, or respect. (I'm from an ultra-traditional chinese family.)
- Grandparents who talk about buying plots, where they want it, how much it will cost, etc.
- Being left out, excluded, or alienated by your church who is supposed to be Christ-like.
- Not being able to play my bass ultraloud... it's my vent.
- Not being able to snowboard... also another vent.
- Friends who have found that special somebody so they don't call/email/hang out with you anymore.
- Not being able to meet all the cool people here who give much love and support!
- Arrogant people.
- I finally figured out the big deal with Anthrax... and now I'm ultra-scared.
- Selfishness. (Other people's and my own.)
- The limitations to do more for those who aren't as fortunate... who are opressed (politically, economically, socially).
- Death.
- And I suppose, in saying all of this, I have become: unChrist-like, rude, selfish, offensive, insulting, petty, arrogant, and mean.
- I'm not perfect.
2.) Good things happening right now?
- I'm here.
- I can listen to the new U2 album without being arrested.
- I can speak my mind (in my own country, not necessarily here) freely without persecution.
- I have clean clothes to wear, food to eat and a good house to keep me warm.
- I have a family that loves me.
- I can make a difference in another's life through volunteering, etc.
3.)
Today, the Edge is my favorite.
4.) Bono & the Edge would sing Grace to me while Adam gave me a hug and told me that everything I'm doing is sufficient. Larry would pour me a pint of beer.
Weird how Grace is the last song playing as I finish this post...
