Richard Peck-- Thanks for the memories.
R.I.P., brother.
1982-2001
I love you.
Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell, for proving that everyone has a right to live their lives how they want to live them, for fighting for that cause, for standing up for what is right.
Toni Siletto, for always being there for me. For being my light in the dark, my voice when I couldn't speak, my star at night, and my beacon of hope when all else seemed lost.
You are irreplaceable; I'd be lost without you. There aren't words to express my gratitude.
Thank you.
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord.
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth,
The minor fall, the major lift,
The baffled King composing, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Your faith was strong but you need proof:
You saw her bathing on the roof.
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.
She tied you to a kitchen chair,
She broke your throne,
She cut your hair,
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Maybe I have been here before,
I know this room,
I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below.
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you,
The holy dark was moving too,
And every breath we drew was hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
And maybe there's a God above,
And all I ever learned from Love,
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
And it's not a cry you can hear at night,
It's not somebody who's seen the light,
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
If it really floats your boat, you may call me Anthony.
I was born in the morning of December 16th, 1992.
I'm seventeen.
Junior at CHHS.
A Mormon.
I love more than almost anything to put smiles on peoples' faces.
In fact, I'd go to great lengths to achieve that.
I love helping others; it puts a smile on MY face.
I'd do almost anything for almost anyone.
I have some of the greatest friends in the world.
I used to think I deserved none of the good in this world.
Those friends slapped me upside the head and let me see the truth:
That I deserve much more than I thought, that I deserve to be happy.
Sometimes, I may still doubt myself, and I may think I deserve nothing again.
But that's okay, because my friends will always be there, and they know the truth.
Those same friends made me realize that I am a somebody. That my life holds significance.
They pulled me out of the darkest shadows I've ever lapsed into, and they showed me that we all have our own chiaroscuro.
And again, while I may doubt myself and my validity in this life, it truly doesn't matter, because my friends are there. And they know I matter.
I'm a little too trusting, a little too forgiving.
People do take advantage of that; please don't be one of those people.
I'm a gentle giant, and I'd always rather talk before throwing punches.
I could be one of the most amazing people you'll ever meet.
I could be one of the best friends you will ever have the pleasure of knowing.
Contrarily, you may despise me, you may loathe me, but you know what?
I'm fine with that. We're all entitled to our opinions, after all.
Get to know me, though, and who's to say we couldn't be friends?
You could make me your worst enemy, try your hardest to smother me under the blanket of hate.
The sad part is, I wouldn't fight back. I'd let you hate me.
And while I promise you I could be one of the most amazing people you'd ever know, I can also promise you this:
Making enemies with me would be one of the dumbest things you could ever do.
AIM = a sad walrus
Let's talk it up. I'd love to get to know you.
"In ancient Araby they said that once upon a time all roses where white. One evening, beneath a waning moon, a nightingale alighted by such a rose - a tall, white rose - and when he saw her he fell at once in love. Now until that time, no nightingale had ever been heard to sing. They passed their lives in silence, from one end to the other, but so brave was this nightingale's love - for this exquisite white rose - that a song of wondrous beauty burst from his throat and he threw his wings about her in a passionate embrace.
The nightingale clasped the rose to his breast, but with such wild passion that the thorns pierced his heart, and he died with his wings wrapped around her.
The nightingale's blood stained the rose's white petals. And that is why, ever since, certain roses bloom red."
The Religion, Mattias Tannhauser; written by Tim Willocks.
