What do you need, buddy?

Vic-kee-dins? Perkycets? A belt for the bottom?

I have plenty in storage LOL

All of the above.

I have the bullets.

Who has the gun?

:(

I'm being serious, it scares me when stuff like that is said to or around me.

You know I am here if you need to talk.

All of the above.

I will see what I can manage for ya

Shawn, what's wrong? Don't talk like that.

Shawn, what's wrong? Don't talk like that.

Sorry guys. I'm just having a manic monday.

We get how you feel, bud...and like I said, if you need to vent, I am here. I owe ya.

Aww thanks. And you don't owe me anything

Anytime, dude

and Mike....another star-ranger I have not seen! how u be?

How the hell did we wind up like this?

Why weren't we able

To see the signs that we missed

And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists

And unpack your suitcase

Lately there's been too much of this

But dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong

Just as long as

You know that someday I will

Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it alright but not right now

I know you're wondering when

(You're the only one who knows that)

Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it alright but not right now

I know you're wondering when

Well I hoped that since we're here anyway

We could end up saying

Things we've always needed to say

So we could end up stringing

Now the story's played out like this

Just like a paperback novel

Lets rewrite an ending that fits

Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong

Just as long as

You know that someday I will

Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it alright but not right now

I know you're wondering when

(You're the only one who knows that)

I know you're wondering when

Where are you this moment?

only in my dreams.

You're missing, but you're always

a heartbeat from me.

I'm lost now without you,

I don't know where you are.

I keep watching, I keep hoping,

but time keeps us apart

Is there a way I can find you,

is there a sign I should know,

is there a road I could follow

to bring you back home?

Winter lies before me

now you're so far away.

In the darkness of my dreaming

the light of you will stay

If I could be close beside you

If I could be where you are

If I could reach out and touch you

and bring you back home

Is there a way I can find you

Is there a sign I should know

Is there a road I could follow

to bring you back home to me

Glad you are having a good day Na'Vell....

Shawn, you are always in my thoughts, and I'm always here, okay?

I didn't here you leave

I wonder how am I still here

I don't want to move a thing

It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am

I'll do what I want

but I can't hide

I won't go

I won't sleep

I can't breathe

until you're resting here with me

I won't leave

I can't hide

I cannot be

until your resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends

they might wake me from this dream

and I can't leave this bed

risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am

I'll do what I want

but I can't hide

I won't go

I won't sleep

I can't breathe

until you're resting here with me

I won't leave

I can't hide

I cannot be

until your resting here with me

Dreams in the night,

Dreams overflow,

Building bridges to each other,

Hearts make the waters flow.

Sunlight and diamonds,

Reflecting hope,

Making journeys to each other,

Going where lovers go.

You were sleeping, I was walking

To the rhythm of the falling rain,

Too much water to cross over,

All the bridges falling down.

You sing me songs,

With overtures,

From strange exotic places,

Words I've never heard.

Wait 'til the morning,

Don't send me back,

Don't send me back across the rainbow,

No return to where I've been.

You were reaching, I was taken,

To the river in the light of dawn,

Too much water, to cross over,

All the bridges falling down...

Falling down.

Come lie beside me,

Lie beside me now,

Beneath the waves,

Beauty surrounds us...

how you feeling, Shawn? hope we are making it better

Is this real enough for you

You were so confused

Now that you've decided to stay

We'll remain together

You can't abandon me

You belong to me

Breathe in and take my life in you

No longer myself, only you

There's no escaping me my love

Surrender

Darling, theres no sense in running

You know I will find you

Everything is perfect now

We can live forever

You can't abandon me

You belong to me

Breathe in and take my life in you

No longer myself, only you

There's no escaping me my love

Surrender

Breathe in and take my life in you

No longer myself only you

There's no escaping me my love

Surrender

Surrender

Surrender

"WEAR SUNSCREEN!"

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, "sunscreen" would be it.

The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,

whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

I will dispense this advice NOW!

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.

Oh, never mind.

You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.

But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future.

Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind,

The kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.

Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss

Don't waste your time on jealousy.

Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind.

The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive.

Forget the insults.

If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters.

Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.

The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives.

Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees.

You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.

Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't.

Maybe you'll divorce at 40.

Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much,

or berate yourself either.

Your choices are half chance.

So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body.

Use it every way you can.

Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.

It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance

Even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines.

They will only make you feel ugly.

"Brother and sister together we'll make it through,

Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there

I know that you're hurting but I've been waiting there for you

and I'll be there just helping you out

whenever I can..."

Get to know your parents.

You never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings.

They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go,

but with a precious few you should hold on.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get,

the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in "New York City" once, but leave before it makes you hard.

Live in "Northern California" once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel

Accept certain inalienable truths:

Prices will rise.

Politicians will philander.

You, too, will get old.

And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young,

prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you.

Maybe you have a trust fund.

Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse.

But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy,

but be patient with those who supply it.

Advice is a form of nostalgia.

Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,

wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

"Brother and sister together we'll make it through,

Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there

I know that you're hurting but I've been waiting there for you

and I'll be there just helping you out

whenever I can..."
