It was easier when you were younger, you can put it back together.

"EZ"

Only save,
try to find another way,
I’m taking what I gave to you again.
Some new day I could understand your face,
you could even hold my hand if you would like to.
It came up unexpected,
I had to follow through
and it’s hard when you were working like you do.
It was easy when you were younger,
you can put it back together,
it was there if you ever wanted it
but you closed the door and said goodbye for good.
So this is a mistake,
try to find a better way,
you were never fond of anything I said.
Can we begin again?
Save it for another friend,
I was happy in my life I won’t pretend,
every time you were expecting to reach out and forgive this,
I was hardened by the look upon your face,
it was easy when you were younger,
you can put it back together,
it was there if you ever wanted it,
but you closed the door and said goodbye for good,
for good…
you were easy

- Pete Yorn

This is one of my favorite Pete Yorn songs. I read the lyrics today, over and over. If you were to hear the song, it would sweep you away. At least it does me. I find myself inside of it. I tell people that I would be Pete Yorn's band-aid. If you've ever seen the movie Almost Famous...the last statement would make you chuckle. To me, this song is about things not working out like you would have liked them to. It's about giving up too easily...because things get hard. I will say it again, I am inside of this song. But not alone I guess. I know what I mean...does anyone else? Probably not.

I'm starting to really like school, and all of the people in my classes. There is a kid named Dan who I share all of my classes with. He's funny, and he smiles at me alot. And we like the same bands. I offered to help him with his homework on Monday. This one other woman yelled at me the other day because I like fruit flavored tootsie rolls. I got a b+ on my first assignment in my Psychology of Art class. I was disappointed that I didn't get an A. It could have been because I had it done on time...I just forgot to turn it in. I should then be happy with a b+.
I'm starting to like Duluth/Superior altogether. I was driving over the Blatnik Bridge this week, and I thought to myself, "I'm starting to really like this place." Of course it helps to have the perfect music on the radio. I can't wait til spring and summer when things get prettier. Right now it's just industrial gray, and cold. The lights are pretty at night though. I can't wait to see leaves on the trees. Even though I love school, and the area, I'm pretty sure that the hotel stays are going to get lonely. And even though I love the area, it doesn't mean that my car does. My cars been acting weird lately and someone told me that I might need new ball bearings. I don't even know what those do. It's a good thing I have a brother in law who is a mechanic.
Here is something that kind of made me excited. This week some girl asked me if I was a freshman in college. I looked at the person next to me and said, "Yay, I'm young!"

Profound statement of my week: "The youth is wasted on the young."
