What do you do when you’ve lost all hope,
Turned in your dreams for that long-lived rope,
Swear that the world has turned its back,
There’s no point in living that’s fact,

I’ll end it tonight,
Ill prove it to you,
We were supposed to last forever,
But that would never do,
You wanted someone else,
And I wanted you,
Ill end my life tonight,
And prove it to you,

I would never break your heart,
But now that you’ve left,
There’s nothing left for me,
Ill end my life tonight,
And then you will see,
We were meant to be,

There’s nothing stopping me now,
I’ve got the knife,
I’ll do it tonight,
Ill end my life,
All I needed was to hear your sweet voice,
Call out to me,
I will die tonight and then you will see,

I hope that one day you will see,
That it could have lasted forever,
We were meant to be.

Well, personally, I do believe we have more dimensions than possible. Our feeble human minds can't imagine some things and this is most definitely one of them.. Just wondering what other people thought.

It seems frequently indifferent - do ethics actually exist as part of the universe, or are they exclusively a human invention?

A student trying for easy answers on the History QA got me wondering about the influence of the Monkey Trails on human evolution.

Bruce Chatwin’s, THE SONGLINES, documents the underlying premise of my question: Chatwin’s research concluded that aboriginals in Australia believe[d] the continent, the world, reality was ‘sung’ into existence by ancestral deities as they traveled along a matrix of trails, commemorated in song and kept in existence by repetitions of those songs by travelers. The lyrics also functioned as maps for travelers.

I’m wondering whether something similar hasn’t happened, but been forgotten across the rest of the planet, the result of trails originally made by apes, followed by apes throughout history until they achieved the status of super highways.

Are the lyrics of human evolution recorded on billboards and in the stark highway hypnosis resonance of centerlines?

Can the monkey trails really contain the secret to human evolution?

I have found my calling... ACTING! I mean, I have the whole package. I know I'm good, and i have the ability to make everyone love me.

But here's the twist.

My parents aren't exactly fond of showbiz. I mean that like, the thought of me joining showbiz kind of makes them gag.

I can't do much without them... I can't drive, and can't pay for coaches and classes, and have only experience in school plays and community theater.

I have several ideas... I could mail my resume and headshot to agencies behind my parents back, and if the agent agrees to represent me, then that could show my parents that I have what it takes... but the downside: they could get angry.

I need help. I know this is what I want to do. This isn't just on a whim. It's been a problem for two years, and I'm ready to make a stand.
