My Ocean Bob

I know I should be studying right now (like Micah, who's hell-bent on reading about the nitrogen cycle), but I'm really not in the mood for it. And whenever I'm not in the mood for it, I find it pointless to study because they just won't stay in (or let alone, go into) my brain.

I'm tuned to the Yellowcard radio on last.fm and this +44 song played. The title was Baby Come On. I knew this song from two years ago, yet it feels like I'm discovering it all over again. And oddly, I think it sounds better.

I'm still caught up with one line in the song, which is mainly why I'm ditching opportunities to study for Science, Math and Social Studies:

The past is only the future with the lights on

It's supposed to cheer up the drunk girl in the song but I just don't get it. So the guy in the song's basically saying her situation's not going to change? That she'd realize her life would still suck in the future?

That's not the most cheerful advice to share. Nobody would enjoy the prospect of reliving the past when the past consisted of screwing up and screwing up even more. I know I won't. I know you won't, either.

[This one's short, I'm well aware. I think I should just go revisit the coefficients and their inequalities like any responsible student would. God bless for the tests.]
