Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead  (The Best of Radiohead)
I Know - Retrospect  (Retrospect)

I'm not a huge punk fan and I certainly do not like "loud" rock that much.  However, the lyrics of "I Was Wrong" are just so great I gotta go with it.  I've never seen Social D live and I think I need to.  They are so popular in Las Vegas that they always sell out 3 nights at the House of Blues!  Seriously.  I wonder what I'm missing?!

When I was young, I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone, so insecure, 
I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say 

I was wrong, self destruction's got me again
I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong

And I think about my loves, well I've had a few
I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too?
I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf
How can you love when you don't love yourself?
It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

Well I grew up fast, I grew up hard
something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything
but the only one that I hurt was me
I got "society's" blood running down my face,
Somebody help me get outta this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long?
until I realized that I was wrong

I was wrong, self destruction's got me again
I was wrong, the only one that was wrong was me, 
I was wrong.

Love Me  - Elvis Presley  (Elvis Presley: The Top Ten Hits)

Gotta give it up to MB20 this time.  No really.  Unwell completely expresses how I felt about myself for a very long time and still do from time to time.  Noah has grounded me, but every now and then I just feel like I used to in my late teens all the way up to my mid 20s.  I remember my attempt at suicide and how God saved me.  I truly believed He intervened and gave the Emergency Room doctor the ability to save my life.  My heart actually stopped for a few seconds.  He saved me I feel to create Noah.  I don't know if that is really why God wanted me to live, but it is what I believe and that is all that matters.  However, I still have my mental issues as I put it.  I take my pills and I go see a Psychiatrist and I do what I can to be a good husband to Audra, a good brother to Travis and Jason, a good son to my mom and foremost a good father to Noah.  I know that I slip from time to time, but hey so does everyone else.  I just hope I don't slip too far.  I don't know if I will ever feel 100%, but at least I know that I'm not crazy...I'm just a little Unwell.
