1. Name one song you hate to admit you like.

It's just one of those songs that gets stuck in your head and you can't do anything about it. Back in the good ol' pop days.
2. Name two songs that always make you cry.
"Collide" Howie Day
Every single time I hear it...the driver's ed car, open gym...it completely sucks. I seriously can not listen to it.

I just heard it 5 minutes ago for the first time since March 19 and it hit me like a brick wall. It doesn't help that it's over 5 minutes long, either.

Oh lord. Yep, fall apart every single time I hear it.

I don't exactly cry but get emotional for obvious reasons.

"Don't You (Forget About Me)" Simple Minds
I cried the first time I heard it, and really haven't listened to it since.

25 Reasons Why I Love Lance
The Tour de France has reached its end, and so has the career of possibly the greatest athlete of our generation (or even history), Lance Armstrong. Lance is my hero and inspiration, and here's why I love him (in no particular order):
1. He was diagnosed with cancer, had a 4 in 10 chance of living, and did.
2. He made yellow rubber bracelets and sold 50 million of them for $1 each to raise money for cancer research.
3. He won not just one, two, three, or even four Tour de Frances, but 7 consecutively.
4. He made a Tour fan out of me.
5. He's doing something that he loves for a living.
6. He wrote a book that wasn't all frills, but the truth about his battle with cancer and his Tours.
7. He's the reason I'll always wear my LiveStrong.
8. Once you realize all he's gone through, and yet he goes out and wins the most difficult sporting event in the world, your life doesn't seem so bad.
9. He's retiring so he can spend more time with his kids.
10. While competing in a Tour, he used a line from Good Will Hunting. ;)
11. He's the cause for increased bike sales in the United States.
12. He's retiring when everyone still thinks he could have won another.
13. He's the reason many have survived cancer, because they were able to hear his story and fight and win their own battle.
14. He's 34 years old and has accomplished more than anyone will in their entire lifetime.
15. He is driven unlike anyone.
16. This quote: "On Wednesday, October 2, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer...For now, I must focus on my treatment. However, I want you all to know that I intend to beat this disease, and further, I intend to ride again as a professional cyclist."
17. He chose to ride on, through the crowds of people spitting on him, screaming insults, and hurling objects at him.
18. He brought good programming back to cable and is the only reason I would watch TV, if only for 3 weeks (CBS Sportsline).
19. He listens to Pearl Jam and U2!!!
20. He's realized that life does go on, even after beating cancer.
21. He's friends with some of his toughest competition.
22. He's the reason I would check olntv.com every single day to see what was happening in the race.
23. He's been riding bikes since he was a child.
24. He makes you want to try that much harder, give it a little bit extra, to push yourself more than you usually would.
25. He's my hero.
1. He was diagnosed with cancer, had a 4 in 10 chance of living, and did.
2. He made yellow rubber bracelets and sold 50 million of them for $1 each to raise money for cancer research.

Masters of War
In light of recent events (if you live under a rock, I am referring to the terrorist attacks in London), I feel that I need to make a political statement. All I will say is this: Saddam is imprisoned, the attacks are still continuing, and innocent people are still dying...thank you, Mr. Bush. Next time, consider putting the welfare of the country and the world before yourself.
Masters of War sums up everything completely and entirely
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
We just want you to know
We can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with our world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
While the death count gets higher
Then you hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
Masters of War sums up everything completely and entirely
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
We just want you to know
We can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with our world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
While the death count gets higher
Then you hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
