Can’t believe I forgot about this song. It’s pure poetry, man.

Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting smoking feeling high
In this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let’s go drive ’till morning comes
Watch the sunrise to fill our souls up
Drink some wine ’till we get drunk
It’s crazy I’m thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I’m dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
I won’t spill a drop I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on
It’s crazy I’m thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I’m dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is it real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
I will treat you sweetly
Adore you I mean you crush me
It’s times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know how I love you
Come on
Lady
It’s crazy I’m thinking
Just as long as you’re around
And here I’ll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we’ll be facing
By love we’ll beat back the pain we’ve found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I’ve been thinking deep inside
My friend
With each moment the more I love you
Crush me
Come on
So much you have given love
That I would give you back again and again
Meaning I’ll hold you
And please let me always

… and practically all user-profile related stuff after (or sometimes even without) updating in Windows Vista.
Firstly, lemme just say that I hate Windows Vista with a passion. Imagine logging in during the morning, ready to start your grueling day at work, and the you see that your desktop looks like it was factory-reset. Ugh. Gone are your files, shortcuts, and other thingamajigs. Gone are your start menu customizations, your internet browser bookmarks, and your mail client settings! Argh! It’s irritating is what it is.
Whatever, now that that’s out of the way, here is one way to recover the disappearing desktop files and other customizations with regards to your user profile:
① Open the Registry Editor. Start ↁERun ↁEtype the command below:
regedit
② Press enter. The Registry Editor window will open.
③ Navigate to the following location in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\
④ There is one registry key for each user profile. To check if a user profile is corrupted, there are three things worth checking:
a) User profile registry keys usually end with a numerical value. If by some chance you find your user profile ending with a “.bad” or “.bak”, for example, it means it’s corrupt. You can rename it (delete the “.bad” or “.bak” part).
b) Click on the user profile registry key in question, check the RefCount value. Set it to 0 (zero).
c) Check the State value. Set it to 0 (zero) as well.
⑤ Either log off the user profile or restart the computer.
I did the above steps and now my settings are all intact again — until the next Windows Vista update, I guess.

Some days are disasters,
that you wish could just end
Other days are bastards,
just like a bad boyfriendBut it makes me feel much worse than this
to see your face masked with a frown
I’m not telling you to smile, but don’t be down.Don’t be down, my friend
Don’t do your wrist any harm
You don’t belong on a funny farmAnd I’d rather see you in a party dress
than in a hospital gown
I’m not telling you to smile
but don’t be down.

This season of Skins just didn’t make sense. At all.

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around
Oh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can’t stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around
Oh, darling, when you’re near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something that I just can’t tame
I’ve just got to have you, baby
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down

…is your head not right
Did you hear my warning
This is the time of times
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb5T0gcHZBg
And your head feels like your body
You mind is close behind
There’s a teardrop on your shoulder
Says this is the time of times
It’s the time of times again

If some one loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that’s enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself, “My flower’s up there somewhere. . . . EBut if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it’s as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn’t important?
