I confess, Icarus, that your signature reminds me of this song by the Dave Matthews Band...
I confess that that song made me think of this one. Dave Matthews is a master at expressing the extistential angst that plagues those of us who are condemned to be forever in search of ourselves.
That's one of my favorite songs! I have the album and I saw Blue Man Group twice at the Luxor while I was in Las Vegas in 2002. It was one of the most euphoric experiences I've ever had in my life! I have a Blue Man poster right next to me right now! ^_^
I confess: after the second show, I knew I had to be touched by a Blue Man. I walked straight up to them and one reached out his hand and stroked my cheek.
Here is the evidence:
photoMy stepbrother took that photo. I was in a daze.
Here is a less "special" looking picture from the same time frame:
'nother photo
This is a moving sculpture used during the performance.

I caught one of Siegfried and Roy's tigers at the Mirage, looking silly.
Here is my favorite song from
The Complex, with BMG and Tracy Bonham. I have it on my MP3 player all the time.

Here is one with better sound, but it is a Kingdom Hearts AMV.)
Quote:
All I see is not for me.
What I want you have not got.
Tried to use things you sold me, no matter what the cost
Tried to go the way you told me, but each time, I got lost
The stairs didn’t lead me anywhere!
I’m taking the fire escape up to the roof.
Don’t care if it’s not the way you find the truth.
Time to make this right: to rise above
This room and all of you
Who say I should do like you would
Tried to live the life you sold me, no matter what the cost.
Tried to walk the way you told me, but each time I got lost
The stairs didn’t lead me anywhere!
I’m taking the fire escape up to the roof.
Don’t care if it’s not the way you find the truth
And when I get up that high, I don’t know what I’ll find
But I’d rather look at the sky than wonder why I let you take my time
Time to make this right: to rise above.
