Love for a Lifetime..

10th grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.

'Gangnam Style Reaches 1 Million Downloads In US

MANILA, Philippines - Korean rapper Psy's viral hit "Gangnam Style" has achieved another milestone, getting 1 million downloads and 1 million on-demand streams in the US, according to Billboard.
Billboard.com says based on this week's Digital Songs chart, "Gangnam Style" has attained the feat.
"Another honor for PSY: With its latest sales frame, 'Style' passes 1 million in downloads sold to date," according to the chart although "Gangnam Style" slipped in the Digital Songs ranking from No. 2 last week to No. 4 this week.
Psy also accomplished another feat by zooming to the No. 1 spot on the On-Demand Songs chart from No. 2 last week.
However, Psy's dream to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week has been frustrated again by Maroon 5 for the third straight week.
Yesterday, Psy tweeted "64-11-2-2-?," which refers to his ranking history on the Hot 100 chart.
Billboard says Maroon 5's "One More Night" is No. 1 again for the fourth week on the upcoming Hot 100 chart.
"Again, the race was extremely close. Last week, 'Night' bested 'Style' by fewer than 500 overall chart points, the smallest difference between Nos. 1 and 2 since the Feb. 18 chart. This week, just 700 points separate the songs, as 'Night' gains by less than 1% in overall points and 'Style' declines by 1%," wrote Billboard.com.
The Hot 100 chart is based on sales, airplay and streaming.
"Gangnam Style" led in streaming and sales while "One More Night" led in airplay.
"Though the gap has narrowed at radio between the two songs, as 'Style' gains 1.6 million more audience impressions than 'Night,' Maroon 5 remains atop the Hot 100 largely thanks to its wide lead in radio airplay," Billboard said.
The problem, Billboard says, is that Psy's hit song "doesn't sport the massive audience level of 'Night.' Still, 'Style' surges by 22% to 56 million, bounding 23-16 on Radio Songs."
On On-Demand Songs, "Gangnam Style" achieved 1 million on-demand streams, a 28-percent increase, to top the chart.
Billboard says "Gangnam Style" is still in the running for the top spot on Hot 100 next week "given the continued close chart race."
"If 'Style' can close the gap enough on the large airplay lead of 'Night,' and if it can widen its lead enough over 'Night' in streaming, it could be in line for No. 1 on the Hot 100 next week," Billboard said.
In the UK, "Gangnam Style" made another history by topping the Official Streaming Top 100 chart, becoming the "most listened to track in the UK right now," the Official Charts Co. said. Last week, Psy topped the UK's singles chart.
On YouTube, "Gangnam Style" has racked up 427 million views to date.

Don't Quit

Don't Quit

When Things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to Smile but have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out,
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up,
When he might captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown,

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

- Edgar A. Guest
