I do get how that could make you feel bad, but you gotta take that and then do better Jon...this is the hardest someone has been on you? Really? You gotta suck it up Jon, you are a loser Jon, Ally is not saying that...also, (theoretically) you didn't give up EVERYTHING because you have Ally and your baby-to-be Niles...I feel like Mr. Arc was pretty clear about what he expected of you Hi, Michelle!

Recently, The Chi cks gave a concert in Chicago and I (of course) attended. During the performance, some of the songs struck a chord with me, but made me want to alter the lyrics to a few.

Anyways, here's "You I Knew" . You left as ash Now in photographs With faces like mine Who will I become Without knowing where You started from It's true the lines I drew Let you move alone in your pain So many days passed you by Every friend that you didn't call Everything that you learned in life Every vow that you broke, my heart And I could try to connect All the pieces you left Or I'll bury it all And just forget Will I remember the years When your mind was clear How your laughter and mind Were all of you I knew One urn Two degrees framed In the boxes sit Your favorite things The bottles I blamed Are in cutting shards Of plans you maimed Everything that you learned in life Every vow that you broke, my heart And I could try to connect All the pieces you left Or I'll ...
