We have one chance.
One chance to get everything right.
We have one chance, one chance.
And if we're lucky we might.
My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me.
I just don't think that it's right.
I've seen so many ships sail in,
just to head back out again and go off sinkin'.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
Didn't mean to laugh,
didn't know I had,
didn't know the better part of what you said,
'cause in your head you are not home.
Didn't get the joke,
didn't mean to poke another,
just to save myself from some something, something or another one.
Well walk home.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
We have one chance, one chance to get everything right.
My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me.
I just don't think that it's right.
I've seen so many ships sail in,
just to head back out again and go off sinkin'.

"You should get my number"
Well I have it now, but something is holding me back and I can't dial the numbers. Am I being really stupid?
Tiger who?
Why is everyone obsessed with Tiger Woods? So he is good at getting a ball in a hole and he makes tons of money for it. Was it assumed that because of this he is without flaws? It seems he suffers from the same lack of moral values as do other celebrities, politicans, etc. Move on.

Communication
The world has changed a lot in the last 15 years. When I was a freshman in college in 1996, I was just starting to use this thing called "e-mail". I was totally amazed by this new way of communicating. Now everyone walks around with portable computer in their pocket texting like there's no tomorrow. I guess the thing that gets lost sometimes is that we are having less and less interactions in person as are lives become increasingly "virtual". I have a problem sometimes because when I write e-mails and such I do it like I was actually speaking to that person. The thing is I forget that things sometimes take on different meanings without the tones and body language that accompany normal interaction. Things like sarcasm can come across very differently in typed words as compared to having that same conversation in person. I think part of is when you see something on the screen you don't like, there's a tendency to read it over and over again which in turn can make it seem worse than it actually was meant. I mean think of the last time you were talking to in person where you did the same thing. Among people I know it is pretty routine to take shots at each other in a joking manner of course, but if that was done via e-mail or text I bet the result would be different. So you end up pretty limited in what you can say. Anyway the point isn't that on shouldn't e-mail or text ever. I just believe though that this should not be a primary form of communication in lieu of good old face to face chatting with anyone who is important to you.
Selfishness
Being selfish is generally regarded as a bad thing. The thing is our well being depends on each of us looking out for ourselves to some degree. The difficult thing is maintaining the balance of selfishness and selflessness. In relationships this can be a tricky thing especially early on. Some people have the gift of being very giving to people they barely know. Others remain guarded until they have ample reassurances that allow them to trust. Sometimes this is based on one's prior experiences. Like anything else in life, one must decide for themselves which kind of person they want to be and learn to deal with others who have different perspectives.
