    A momentary lapse For a moment I forgot I had found the will to fight And then I asked myself for what? Swim against the tide Or climbing up a hill I thought it paid to try But I find I’ve had my fill Chasing down a dream But I found it’s just a joke…

    This one’s a piece of cake. I’d have started looking for a job the second I had that feeling in my gut that things were going to go terribly awry. If I had just listened to my instincts and started looking to get the hell out of Dodge, I might not have been sick and…

    Mood swings can be a funny thing, can’t they? Sometimes something happens that immediately changes your mood from good to bad. Sometimes the cause is obvious.
