Behind every jerk is a sad story.

Say you’re sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time
‘Cause
I honestly believed in you
Holdin’ on,
The days drag on
Stupid girl
I should’ve known, I should’ve known

That I’m not a princess
This ain’t a fairytale
I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain’t Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.

Maybe I was naïve,
Got lost in your eyes
I never really had a chance.
My mistake I didnt know to be in love
you had to fight to have the upper hand.
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings;
Now I know

I’m not a princess
This ain’t a fairytale
I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain’t Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down.
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.

And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness,
Begging for me
Just like I always wanted,
But I’m so sorry

Cause Im not your princess
This aint a fairytale
Im gonna find someone, Some day
Who might actually treat me well.
This is a big world,
That was a small town
There in my rearview mirror,
Disappearing now.
And it’s too late for you and your White Horse,
Now its too late for you and your White Horse
To catch me now.

Oh whoa whoa whoa-oh
Try and catch me now
Whoa-Oh
It’s too late
To catch me now.

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wated
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I could turn off my phone
Tell evveryone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)

(Chorus)

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

(Chorus)

But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

The film The Notebook is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. A complete tear-jerker, this film traces the love story of Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun. The storyline captures tender romantic moments in the midst of World War II.

Duke: I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul and for me that has always been enough.

Harry: I keep trying to die but they won’t let me.
Duke: Well, you can’t have everything.

Allie: What happens if a car comes?
Noah: You die.
Allie: What!?
Noah: Just relax. Just trust. You need to learn how to trust.

Duke [reading]: Southern summers are indifferent to the trials of young love. Armed with warnings and doubts Noah and Allie gave a remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy and a girl travelling down a very long road with no regard for the consequences.

Duke [reading]: It was an improbable romance. He was a country boy. She was from the city. She had the world at her feet while he didn’t have two dimes to rub together.

Mrs. Hamilton: That child’s got too much spirit for a girl of that circumstance.
Mr. Hamilton: Nah, it’s just summer love.
Mrs. Hamilton: “Trouble” is what it is!

Noah: All it needs is a new floor and walls and roof.
Allie: Is that all?
Noah: And plumbing and electrical.
Allie: And some furniture.
Noah: Yeah, and some furniture. But it’s right on the water and there’s also a barn up there. I could turn that into my work shop.
Allie: Well what about me? Now don’t I get any say in this?
Noah: You want a say in this?
Allie: Yes I would.
Noah: What do you want?
Allie: I want a white house with blue shutters and a room overlooking the river so I can paint.
Noah: Anything else?
Allie: Yes! I want a big ole porch wrapped around the whole house. We can drink tea and watch the sun go down.
Noah: Ok.
Allie: You promise?
Noah: Uh huh. Promise.
Allie: Good!

Mrs. Hamilton: I didn’t spend 17 years of my life raising a daughter and giving her EVERYTHING so she can throw it away on a summer romance.
Allie: Daddy!
Mrs. Hamilton: She’ll wind up either heart broken or pregnant. Now he’s a nice boy. He’s a nice boy but he’s -
Allie: What!? He’s what!?
Mrs. Hamilton: Trashy! Trash! Trash! He’s not for you!

Duke [reading]: Summer romances end for all kinds of reason. But, when all is said and done, they ahve one thing in common - they are shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity and in a flash they are gone.

Duke [reading]: She agreed with all her heart but couldn’t understand why, at the moment she said yes, Noah’s face came to mind. [In response to Lon asking her to marry him]

Duke [reading]: In time Noah finished the house. He took a good look at what he had accomplished, got rip roaring dunk for 10 days, thought seriously about setting it on fire, then finally decided to put the house up for sale.

Dr. Barnwell: So I understand that you read to Mrs. Hamilton.
Duke: Yep, to help her remember.
Dr. Barnwell: Hmmmmm
Duke: You don’t think it’ll help?
Dr. Barnwell: No I don’t.
Duke: She remembers doc. I read to her and she remembers. Not always, but she remembers.
Dr. Barnwell: Dimentia is irreversible. It’s degenerative. After a certain point it’s victims don’t come back.
Duke: That’s what they keep telling me.
Dr. Barnwell: Well I just don’t want you to get your hopes up.
Duke: Well thanks doc, but you know what they say, science goes only so far and then comes God.
Dr. Barnwell: Then comes God.

Allie: Why are you looking at me like that?
Noah: Just a memory. [drinks beer] This room.
Allie: It was real wasn’t it? You and me. Such a long time ago we were just a couple of kids. We really loved each other didn’t we? I should go.

Maggie: She seems good today.
Duke: She is good. I don’t know - there’s something about today. Maybe it’s a day for a miracle.
Mary Ellen: Daddy, come home. Momma doesn’t know us. She doesn’t recognize you. She’ll never understand.
Maggie: We miss you. This is crazy. You living here.
Edmund: Yeah, yeah - we’ll all help with mom. We, we can take shifts visiting.
Duke: Look guys, that’s my sweetheart in there. I’m not leaving her. This is my home now. Your mother is my home.

Allie: And you really did it.
Noah: What?
Allie: Everything. The house. It’s beautiful what you did.
Noah: Well I promised you that I would.

Allie: Why didn’t you write me? Why!? It wasn’t over for me. I waited for you for seven years. And now it’s too late!
Noah: I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you every day for a year.
Allie: You wrote me?
Noah: Yes! It wasn’t over. Still isn’t over. [kisses her]

Letter on headboard from Noah to Allie: You looked so peaceful I couldn’t wake you. Gone to get breakfast. Be back soon.
P.S.: Follow the arrows for a surprise.

Noah: You’re bored! You’re bored and you know it! You wouldn’t be here if there weren’t something missing.
Allie: You arrogant son of a bitch!
Noah: Would you just stay with me?
Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we are already fighting.
Noah: Well that’s what we do. We fight. You tell me when I’m being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are being a pain in the ass. Which you are 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a two second rebound rate and yoru back do doing the next pain in the ass thing.
Allie: So what.
Noah: So it’s not going to be easy. It’s going to be really hard. And we’re going to have to work at this every day. But I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, every day.

Noah: What do you want? What do you want?
Allie: It’s not that simple.
Noah: What do you want? Goddamit, what do you want?
Allie: It’s not that simple.

Noah: The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.

Allie: Wow, so many pills - how sick are you?
Noah: Sickness has become a relative term for me. I think of it now as more of a wearing out process.

Allie: I need to ask you something.
Noah: What is it sweetheart?
Allie: Do you think that our love can create miracles?
Noah: Yes I do. That’s what brings you back to me each time.
Allie: Do you think our love can take us away together?
Noah: I think our love can do anything we want it to.
Allie: I love you.
Noah: I love you Allie.
Allie: Good night.
Noah: Good night. I’ll be seeing you.

"You Give Good Love"

I found out what I’ve been missing
Always on the run
I’ve been looking for someone

[Chorus:]
Now you’re here like you’ve been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see
That you give good love to me baby
So good, take this heart mine into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much
Baby you give good love

Never stopping, I was always searching
For that perfect love
The kind that girls like me dream of

[chorus]

Now I, I can stop looking around
It’s not, what this loves all about
Our love is here to stay, stay

[chorus]

All or Nothing — O-Town

I know when she’s been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought someday you’d realized
Its over, over
It’s not the way i choose to live
And something, somewhere’s got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older, older
You know i’d fight for you
But how can i fight someone who isn’t even there
I’ve had the rest of you
Now i want the best of you
I don’t care if that’s not fair

Chorus:
Cause i want it all
Or nothing at all
There’s nowhere left to fall
When you’ve reached the bottom
It’s now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all

There are times it seems to me
I’m sharing you in memories
I feel it in my heart
But i don’t show it, show it
Then there’s times you look at me
As though i’m all that you can see
Those times i don’t believe its right
I know it, know it
Don’t make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I’ve had the rest of you
Now i want the best of you
It’s time to show and tell

Cause i want it all
Or nothing at all
There’s nowhere left to fall
When you’ve reached the bottom
It’s now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here
With nothing….

Cause you and i
Could lose it all if you’ve
Got no more room
No room inside for me in your life

Cause i want it all
Or nothing at all
There’s nowhere left to fall
It’s now or never

Is it all
Or nothing at all
There’s nowhere left to fall
When you’ve reached the bottom
Its now or never

Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here
With nothing at all

Or nothing at all
There’s nowhere left to fall
When you’ve reached the bottom
Its now or never

Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with
Nothing at all

All……..

Better Off Alone  –  Katharine Mcphee

One thing I’m wonderin’
When you run out of friends
Will you be coming back home?

Let’s think this through again
Let’s take a different spin
Why can’t I leave you alone?

Somewhere tonight, you may be found
With some other girl you’ve been draggin’ around
You lie to yourself, and you lie to me
It seems like the truth is your worst enemy

Cause baby I’m tired, tired of the fight
I’m tired of the lonely days and the dark endless nights
It’s taken some time, cause I didn’t know
If I could ever let you go
You helped me figure it out
I’m better off alone
I’m better off alone

I may be found, somewhere tonight
Cursing the day you walked into my life
What’s done is done, I can’t change time
But I’ll be damned if I’m not gonna try
Oh I’m gonna try

Baby I’m tired, tired of the fight
I’m tired of the lonely days and the dark endless nights
It’s taken some time, cause I didn’t know
If I could ever let you go
You helped me figure it out
I’m better off alone

But every now and then, my heart gives in
To the hope that someday you’ll change
Then alone I’ll wake, to my own mistakes
That it’s just a foolish game

I’m tired, tired of the fight
I’m tired of the lonely lonely lonely days and the dark endless nights
You didn’t think, cause you didn’t know
That I’d find the strength to let, let you go
I finally figured it out
I’m better off alone
I’m better off alone

One thing before I go
Something I’ve got to know
Boy, did you ever love me?

nice info. what the heck.

what to do

when silence has become deafening

when words dont mean anything

or hope has gone sour

when the unclear is already obvious

then

there’s nothing to talk about.

freedom is vague

so indifference has become key

ill choose nothing over just anything

when promises have remained empty

and tears have fallen incessantly

still

there’s nothing to talk about.

How do you rewrite the memories when it’s already embedded inside you?  Maybe life would be simpler if we can categorize memories into Great-I-dont-want-to-forget-these, Maybe-I-can-view-these-again-but-not-this-time, and Forget-it-these-memories-suck types of files.  Isn’t the human brain supposed to be much powerful than a freaking computer?  So why can’t we program it so I can get the hell on with my life.

I remember watching the movie " Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind " where Jim Carrey stars opposite Kate Winslet.  Two of my favorite thespians.  Oh anyway, going back, it’s really a weird, mind-twisting movie.  Whenever it went on at HBO, I would think "boring…" and "what the f…?".  But one night I was so desperate of doing anything and I was too bummed to smoke and pissed that there was no trace of any kind of alcohol at home, I chanced upon this movie and watched it because there isn’t anything else a boob tube hater like me would dare watch.  I was captured by the movie, so to say, strong reaction huh, but yes, I cried.  Not that crying is something new to me hehehe but that’s another story…  Anyhoo, it gave me something to think about.  "Can you erase me?" Why can’t we erase the memories we don’t want to remember?  In the movie, Carrey had undergone a mind-mapping process to delete all the memories he had of his eccentric and willful girlfriend played by Winslet.  What he didnt know was that Winslet had it done first, because she was too overwhelmed with their relationship, aside from being impulsive.  It also included a lot of good actors like Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo and others whose names I dont remember now.

Well, well, well… I don’t know if this process is indeed possible now (who knows eh? with all the crap scientist are inventing and all).  There is really a downside, but what the heck! If this mind mapping shit is already available and feasible,  please inform me.  You know where to find me.

Who Knew - pink

You took my hand

You showed me how

You promised me you’d be around

Uh huh That’s right

I took your words

And I believed

In everything

You said to me

Yeah huh

If someone said three years from now

You’d be long gone

I’d stand up and punch them up

Cause they’re all wrong

I know better

Cause you said forever

And ever

Who knew

Remember when we were such fools

And so convinced and just too cool

Oh no No no

I wish I could touch you again

I wish I could still call you friend

I’d give anything

When someone said count your blessings now

For they’re long gone

I guess I just didn’t know how I was all wrong

They knew better

Still you said forever

And ever

Who knew

Yeah yeah

I’ll keep you locked in my head

Until we meet again

Until we Until we meet again

And I won’t forget you my friend

What happened

If someone said three years from now

You’d be long gone

I’d stand up and punch them out

Cause they’re all wrong and

I’ll cherish

Until we meet again
