*The Rose that Grew from Concrete*
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
-Tupac Shakur
*Lonely as a Cloud*
When life goes by so quickly
That you feel you're just a blur
Then mumble vaguely to yourself
Sort of, 'umm...umm...err...

Darkimagination on January 12, 2006Forgot to say before about Dean Koontz. I have read Life Expectancy and I thought it was an amazing book, just like most of his works. If you haven't read 'The Face,' then you really should as it's equally as good as Life Expectancy in my opinion. He's the kind of writer that constantly surprises you with his ability to describe things in a way that makes you see them in a different light. His books are so awesomely involving it's untrue.
