I bet you taste like lemon flavored fantastic.  
I wish your were my sweet Daisiy.  
But you make your living not being real,
a character in a visual garden.  
Kit, Jovie, Trillian, Gas Station Girl.  
I wish I knew,  who you think, you think, you are.   

Honey, How can I know what you are?
My eyes think you're fantastic.  
A sexy, talented, Hollywood girl.  
I wish you were my sweet daisy 
growing in my naked garden
becoming real.  

But how can I know what is real,
When we live pretending that we are.
Forever fighting to return to the garden,
A place beautiful and fantastic.  
In this field of melancholy daisies 
like everyone else, you're just a girl.    

But when I watch you in All The Real Girls
At least something feels real.  
All my "real" girls don't bring me daisies
So I dream about what we are. 
And in my dreams, last night was fantastic
As I peed away the clothes and touched your secret garden. 

Sadly, a serpent lies in this garden, 
The "you" I love is a fake girl.   
Even though you always look fantastic
The only things that are real
Are
the daisies.  

Sweet Friggin Daisies'
That's a beautiful garden.
I ‘ll never know who you are

Rich, famous, Hollywood girl

You’re really not real

But in my mind you still taste like lemon flavored fantastic. 

In a world, where people don’t even know who they are

I’ll take a famous fantasy girl

After all, the climax is just as real

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...

The hardest part this troubled heart has never yet been through now,
To heal the scars that got their start inside someone like you now,
But had I known or I'd been shown back when how long It'd take me,
To break the charms that brought me harm...
that, all but would erase me

I never would nor thought I could
No matter what you'd pay me
replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy

If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough,
But just my luck
I fell in love and baby...

All that I wanted was...

Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better!

So bittersweet, this tragedy wont ask for absolution,
This melody inside of me, still searches for solution,
A twist of fate, the change of heart kills my infatuation,
A broken heart provides the spark for my determination.

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better...
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better...


All that I wanted, was...

Now I know you better,You know, I know better
Now I know you better

I never wanted you to be so full of anger (anger)
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself

All that I wanted, was...

Now I know you better
Now we all know better

All that I wanted was...

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

If I were you, I'd manage to abhore the invitation
Of promised love that can't keep up with your adoration
Just use your head, and in the end you'll find your inspiration
To choose your steps and won't regret this kind of aggravation

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better.. better...

In the morning I have purple,

Green and yellow and blue

All of which help me

Use my allusion

Too

By the time the doves cry

I lose purple and gain red

Think of ways to re-say

What I’ve already

Said

When the clock strikes noon

The red becomes pink

Instead of free flowing

I have to stop and

Think

As the sun starts to set

The colors all become gray

And every thought comes out

In a thousand different, wrong

Ways

By the time night falls

Everything fades to black

Realization that all day,

I’ve been on the wrong

Track

All my words

Suspended in time

On the cutting room floor

Of my motley

Mind.

Since it is February 1st it's time to take a look at the movies I watched in January.

Best Movie Overall: All The Real Girls
Director: David Gordon Green 
Starring: Paul Schnieder and Zooey Deschenal
Year: 2003

I have a full review of this down the page a little so I'm not going to repeat myself to much but for anybody who can relate to teenage angst and awkward love I would suggest finding this film immidatley. 

Best Movie I Saw in the Theater: El Laberiento del Fauno (Pan's Laberinth) 
Director: Guillermo Del Toro
Starring: Ivana Baquero, Sergi Lopez, Doug Jones 
Year: 2006

I only saw three movies in the theater in January and this was unquestionably the best.  A true cinimatic masterpiece that brilliantly combines a fantastical children's story with gruesome (but not gory) violence and far-reaching themes.  Not only is it a film that will leave you with something but it also has to be appreciated on the big screen and is well worth ten bucks.  

Quickly, the other good movie I saw in the theater in January was Rocky Balboa which, even with it's flaws, felt about as real as anything you will ever see.  Stallone put his heart and soul into this and it showed.  Not only that but I actually left the theater in a positive mood which is a rare occurrence these days.  

Worst Movie I saw in the Theater/Overall: Inland Empire
Director: David Lynch
Starring: Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons, Justin Theroux
Year: 2006

David Lynch's Inland Empire was not only the worst film I saw in January but one of the worst films I have seen in my entire life.  Pretentious moviegoers will try to justify this as another "Lynch masterpiece" but the fact is that it consists almost entirely of random images edited together with seemingly no intended meaning.  I truly believe that a totally surrealist film can work but if it is kept short (Un Chien Andalou) but this "film" is so stuck in David Lynch's head that it's futile to try and make sense of it.     

Full List of Movies I saw in January 2007 (In Order of Viewing):

1.       Pi (Jim Carrey's 23 is a direct rip-off of Arnofsky's debut film)

2.       Rocky Balboa

3.       Dune  

4.       Enron: The Smartest Guys in The Room (Should be required viewing for everyone who ever wanted to get into business)  

5.       Wordplay

6.       Who Killed The Electric Car?

7.       Eulogy

8.       Lost in La Mancha

9.       Hard Candy (VERY Overrated)

14.    Inland Empire
