CHROMEO- Bonafied Lovin' Lyrics

Let me tell you that I saw your boyfriend walkin down the street
He was standin all shaky
Hands all sweaty>div> And he could hardly speak
I might as well take a minute or two to put you onto some game
You got a boy like him
a man like me
and that's just not the same.
And nevermind the s n' s
What you need is a sweet caress
Everybody wanna talk too much
What you need is a special touch
Oooh girl wouldn't that feel right
A little dinner with a candelight
And really when it comes down to it pick a man that's down to fight

I'll give you bonafied lovin
oh oh OH OH
The type that makes me feel old
I'll give you bonafied lovin'
oh oh OH OH
The type that makes me feel old

Let me tell you that I saw you boyfriend walkin down the road
He was standin all shook
Couldn't even look
And I was extra cold
I might as well take a minute or two
To talk about the perks
You can't compete with a man like me
and that's just how it works
Look, this comes as no suprise
What you need is an older guy
With a little bit of life experience
the right clothes, the right appearance
Ooh girl wouldn't that feel nice
Hot dinner with a candelight
And really when it gets down to it pick a man that's down to fight.

I'll give you bonafied lovin'
oh oh OH OH
The type that makes me feel old
I'll give you bonafied lovin'
oh oh OH OH
The type that makes me feel old.

Going Nuts? Now You Have Proof

Am I going crazy?

It’s a phrase we’ve all uttered to ourselves from time to time, but now a new Web site helps you figure it out for sure. Check out www.sanityscore.com, which offers a simple online quiz designed to assess aspects of your mental health, including your risk for depression, anxiety and other emotional disorders.

The sanity quiz was designed by Dr. John Grohol, the psychologist who created PsychCentral , one of the best online mental health resources I’ve come across. Still under development, his sanity test is based on several scientifically validated mental health assessments, and it asks the questions that a mental health professional might ask about mood and eating and sleeping habits. Your score is a numerical expression of your overall emotional health, says Dr. Grohol.

It’s worth noting that there’s no officially sanctioned test from the mental health community for measuring one’s sanity, so you shouldn’t make important health decisions based on these results. Still, I think it’s worth checking out not only for insight into your state of mind, but because it may prompt an overdue discussion with your doctor.

You have to fill out an anonymous registration form before you start, and the quiz takes about 15 minutes to complete. Any score above 150 indicates significant distress in your life, according to Dr. Grohol. While a high score doesn’t mean you’re crazy, it may suggest that you should seek professional advice to help sort out your mental health concerns.

A score under 50 suggests there is little distress your life, says Dr. Grohol, while scores between 50 and 150 may indicate a need to focus more on your mental health.

I admit that I was a bit wary about taking the quiz, but I’m relieved to report that my score of 40 was low enough to qualify me as sane. But the test tells me I have some issues, and I was surprised at how accurate it seemed to be in identifying my own areas of mental stress.

If you don’t want to take 15 minutes to find out if you’re sane, PsychCentral offers a shorter assessment to help you decide whether you might need therapy. This quiz won’t give you the same level of self-awareness as the longer test, but it will at least get you thinking about your mental health, an area too often neglected by most of us.

The Claim: People Shouldn’t Stand Too Close to a Microwave

2007-07-10T15:25:55Z

THE FACTS

Considering how long microwave ovens have been around, one would think that any concerns about their safety would have been resolved long ago. But many people continue to wonder whether standing next to a microwave while it’s on can expose them to radiation — and if so, how much.

Although microwave ovens can in fact leak radiation, the levels that might be released are fairly minute.

According to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, a unit of the Food and Drug Administration that regulates microwave oven safety, every microwave that reaches the market must meet a requirement limiting the amount of radiation it can leak in its lifetime to five milliwatts per square centimeter at roughly two inches away from the oven. According to the center, that is far below the levels of radiation that have been shown to harm humans.

(By comparison, the most common cellphones operate at a peak power of about 1.6 watts or less, and most studies have found no evidence linking the phones to health problems.)

Manufacturers of microwave ovens are also required to line the doors of the machines with metal mesh that prevents microwaves from escaping, and to use a type of door latch that stops the production of microwaves whenever the latch is released.

Those features greatly limit exposure to levels of radiation that are already low. And since the radiation levels drop sharply with increasing distance, the levels two feet away are about one-hundredth the amount at two inches.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Proximity to a microwave oven is not dangerous.

i'm sorry, why do i care?

I dont really give a shit if you can't listen to your heart and do what you really should do, but when you're forced to make a decision between one thing and another, and you pick the worst of the two because of your brain instead of your heart, then I have no remorse for you.

And when you decide that your decision isn't what you thought it was supposed to be like, and you feel like you made the wrong decision, and you realize how much it sucks and you don't know what to do, then come talk to me. But when you make a selfish, stupid, idiodic decision due to your brain telling you what's better than your heart, well, I dont really give a fuck.

Funnnnnn stuff guys. Kentland was a lot of fun. We should do that shit more often.

I have a paper due tonight, at midnight.
I have 2 1/3 pages written.
It must be 5.
And I work at 430 fuckkkkkkkkk.
I'll make it. It's almost 12. After I quit playing on the internet I should be able to finish it.

It's nice, to be able to hang out with friends and not have to tell someone where I'm at all the time, or worry about hanging out with certain people that might make someone mad. I don't have to give a shit. And that's fucking nice as hell. Mike can fuck off. Even though I don't really like saying that, telling him to fuck off. But you know what, I do what I want. I've always done what I want. I did what I wanted even when we were together, to a certain extent [can't really elaborate here, some of you just shouldn't know about what happened there] and I feel liberated.

Although, its a different feeling entirely. I've always been one that's down for the chase, the race, the fight to the finish. And then, when I get what I want, it's hard to hold onto it. It's not about being flaky, its about being able to decide if Im fine where I'm at, or if I need to keep searching for something that's going to make me happier.

Its complete bullshit.

The best thing, right now, is friends. Good friends. I think of myself as a good friend, and I hope all of you do, too.

You suck.

2007-04-14T17:38:34Z

Do you ever have that feeling where you feel like you're getting cheated out of something that is rightfully yours? Where you are like, "No, that's mine, I own that" but at the same time, you don't really own it and you must sit back and wait to see what happens?

Yeah, I get that feeling a lot.

I'm backkkkkkk.

So this is it. This is livejournal, again. I've missed you baby, I've missed you soooooo much.

I'm not going to update on what's been going on for the past year.
That's too much shit.
You either know me and know that information, or you don't and it doesn't pertain to you at all.

So let's start over, journal, let's get busyyyyy.

i jumped in the river and what did I see?
black-eyed angels swimming with me
a moon full of stars and astral cars
all the figures i used to see
all my lovers were there with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven in a little row boat

there was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Life is moving.
Easy going and carefree and living in the strong arms of something that's not letting go.
Fishing for the right words when no words are really needed at all.
Time passes like the jets overhead.
Gray minds, delightful.
Pass me the stability over the acceleration.
Lay down, lay down.
Let's hope this doesn't pass too soon.

I was driving and I saw a field with a bunch of crows scattered around it. Bare trees and dull air and brown grass and gray concrete. I wish I had my camera, I would have pulled over and taken a picture of it. I thought about how I just ended something that killed the other person. I told the truth to Shayne and I killed him. I couldn't live with the distance and without the affection. I found someone a little closer and who can wrap their arms around me more often. Someone who asked me "I want to know when I'll be able to wake up next to you and fall asleep next to you." Shayne was the dead grass. He's everywhere, but he's dead, and I'd have to wait months until he is alive again. I'm the crow, picking up the dead grass, but moving on to find better things.

Crows have to eat too, don't they?
