* i was going to type "the way i am" by eminem, but i thought that would just start a lot of controversey, as would another song of his "brain damage". if you know the words to those, then okay. if not, i'm sorry. i also thought the thread might not last if i posted eminem... so here's a song by a group called SR-71. it describes me rather well, and i'm sure everyone else has also felt this way, probably on Monday mornings... enjoy*

*Last Man On The Moon*

I just can't seem to concentrate today.
It seems my mind is wandering away.
All the things swimming through my head,
Fade away when i go back to bed.
And I close my eyes.
See how fast time flies.
'Cause sunrise comes too soon...

     I'm never out of bed before noon.
     Waking up too late would be too soon.

     And I could never be Neil Armstrong...
     I'd be the last man on the moon.

I used to live in a world of black and white.
Until my dreams turned day into night.

     And now I'm never out of bed before noon.
     Waking up too late would be too soon.

So I close my eyes.
Wait for the suprise.

In a place I know I belong.
In my head I can do no wrong.
And I could never be Neil Armstrong.
I'd be the last man on the moon.

     Never out of bed before noon.
     Waking up too late would be too soon.
     I'm never out of bed before noon.
     Hide in the corners of my room.

In a place I know I belong.
In my head I can do no wrong.
Who ever heard of an astronaut with one arm?
I'd be the last man on the moon.

Everyone's got their demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.
