Live Like We're Dying

Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
we're hiding behind skin that's too tough
how come we don't say I love you enough
till it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
we could make a feast from these crumbs
and we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
so if your life flashed before you
what would you wish you would've done

Yeah... gotta start
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies
who would you call with your last goodbyes
should be so careful who we live out our lives
so when we long for absolution
there'll no one on the line

Yeah... gotta start
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying


We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live like we're dying

FAN-atic

Fanatic - a person filled with excessive and singe-minded zeal. i believe most of us is a fan of something or someone, be it singer, actor, or even a friend. Then the question is, how far would you go being a fan?

The word fanatic has a negative connotation, most of us would not admit that we are a fanatic of something but i don't agree with that. i know that even if we don't admit it, there are some fanatic moments that we experience which affect our decisions and live in general. For example, i told myself that i am not a fanatic of apple company, but whenever i am talking about macbook or ipod, i talk aggressively and one-sided. Though i denied that i am a fanatic but my friends will say that i am a fanatic.

There are two kind of fanatics. Those that want to get their believe out there and make everyone following them and those that just keep it to themselves. The terrorists, for example, are those that wanted to get more people to join them and spread fear around the world through their 'questionable' ideology. Even some religions practice actively seeking out new members in any way possible which sometime i found it so annoying.

How far will you go being a fan? The recent big news in the K-pop world (yeah i listen to kpop now ^^) put a 2pm (a boy band group) member in the limelight. Due to an old post of his myspace, he got into serious trouble... the anti-fans really burnt him down, writing hate mails and even suicide petitions, and he then resigned from the group... and now his fans started a new movement to get him back, by boycotting any other activities of the other group members. It is really complicated and i am amused by how it turns out. All those fans/anti-fans will just do anything to get what they want...they call themselves a fan... but this is more like a fanatic..

Being a fanatic is good and bad... but sometimes we just have to put aside all this fanatic- ism and think logically and don't do anything stupid... being fanatic for your own country's sake is nationalism, but if u would do anything for the betterment of the country without thinking about the effect or even use of violence, that is terrorism.

So the question is, are you a fanatic?
