I was talking to my dad about the song by Peter Gabriel "Not One Of Us" and its meaning. He looked up the Lyrics and I noticed as he was reading them that you can do just fine without the music. It's kind of a poem.
"Not One Of Us"
It's only waterIn a stranger's tear
Looks are deceptive
But distinctions are clear
A foreign body
And a foreign mind
Never welcome
In the land of the blind
You may look like we do
Talk like we do
But you know how it is
You're not one of us
Not one of us
No you're not one of us
Not one of us
Not one of us
No you're not one of us
There's safety in numbers
When you learn to divide
How can we be in
If there is no outside
All shades of opinion
Feed an open mind
But your values are twisted
Let us help you unwind
You may look like we do
Talk like we do-But you know how it is
You're not one of us
Not one of us
No you're not one of us
I think it's a cool song. It talks about exclusion and division. It seems to say a little bit about how our country is right now.

No I am not 14. I'm 11. Its says I'm 14 on my profile because when i put in 11 it said error:you have to be 13 or over to have a blog, so i put 14 because I just did. I'm just starting latin and if i was 14 i would be way more advanced in it. So no, I am not 14.
You can tell if you just read one of my comments or my posts because its way to immature to be 14.lol
=D
I stayed up until like 3 because I had a school soccer game that day. (we tied) I had a lot of homework in every subject, so I started it late. I and had to study for two tests. The private school that i go to is very intense so they go full out on homework. So if you think it takes me hours to do my homework and that I am dumb you are mistaken. And today, I got the one of those tests back. Math-100
Hope this makes it a little clearer for you.
I would say so...
I didn't have the option to take Latin untill last year. I still can't imagine staying up untill 3 in the morning.
ohhhhhh. I;m so jealous! I wish i could take latin! but they don't offer it here...i don't think thay offer it in Alberta...and it took me a whle to figure out you were eleven, C. but i did it in the end :) and OMG!! wtq is with the major crazy homeworkness? holy shiznit! if i ever became a teacher i would probably ban homework from my class. :P ...the funny thing is, i WOULD. lol
haha right on! i hate/loath/despise homework. most of the times i wait until the last minute to do it (like, walking down the hallway on my way to that class, or during lunch. When i say last minute, i mean LAST MINUTE. unless im really bored at home and have nothin better to do.). but most of the time i get a's.
