 Miley:
I know this isn't what I wanted
I never thought it'd come this far
Just thinking back to where we started
And how we lost all that we are

Nick:
We were young and times were easy
But I could see it's not the same
I'm standing here but you don't see me
I'd give it all for that to change

And I don't want to lose her
Don't wanna let her go

Miley:
I'm standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Nick:
Flooded with all this pain 
Knowing that I'll never hold her 
Both:
Like I did before the storm (yeah)
Before the storm

Nick:
With every strike of lightning
Miley:
Comes a memory that lasts
Both:
And not a word is left unspoken
As the thunder starts to crash
Miley:
Maybe I should give up

Miley:
I'm standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Nick:
Flooded with all this pain 
Knowing that I'll never hold her 
Like I did before the storm

Miley:
Trying to keep the lights from going out 
Both:
And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart
We always say
A heart is not a whole 
Without the one who gets you through the storm

Standing out in the rain
Knowing that's it really over
Please don't leave me alone
I'm flooded with all this pain, knowing that I'll never hold you 
Like I did before the storm

Yeah
Like I did before 
The storm...

 Just because I could. People are really pissing me off.

 The  US  standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. 

Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in  England , and English expatriates built the  US railroads.  

Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. 

Why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. 

Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in  England , because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.  

So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial  Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England ) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. 

And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial  Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States  standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever. 

So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with it?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the r ear ends of two war horses. (Two horse's asses.) Now, the twist to the story: 

When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRB's. The SRB's are made by Thiokol at their factory in  Utah  . The engineers who designed the SRB's would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRB's had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRB's had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.  

So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses control almost everything... and CURRENT Horses Asses are controlling everything else.

 I am on a new medicine called Zoloft for anxiety and depression. I have only taken it for two days now, today being my third day. The first two days I felt happier with the only side effect being heartburn after I took it. Today however is very different......I feel angry, I feel annoyed easily I am just angry at the world today and feel like yelling and screaming at everyone for everything wrong in my life even though they are all my own problems. My doctor said I would feel this way for a couple of weeks, I don't want to feel this way for weeks before it gets better..... It is also making me extremely drowsy....which I don't like. i know it will take time to get used to and it will be good then, but getting used to it isn't going to be easy I can already tell.

I'm only 19 and i'm so tired of having 8 doctors appointments a week. i'm tired of hurting all the time and i'm tired of because of all these medical problems being depressed. I'm tired of having to take up to 15 different medications at night. I'm tired of worrying when my next problem will occur. I'm just tired, sometimes I really just wish I could give up. I just want to live a normal life
