Music has always been more articulate than I've ever been.

"The rain rains on everyone. The Sun shines on everyone"

My new joy-luck quote. The thing I say when things seem to go to crap.

The rain raining on everyone is not meant to be some meanlingless emo cliche. Hard times are inevitable, so it's safe to assume that everyone will see them in their lifetimes. It's kind of a reminder to me that I'm not the only one in the world who's going through their own personal hell...and it's feels good to know that there are people out there who will understand what you're going through.

You can apply the same concept for "The sun shines on everyone"... no, I don't mean that everyone cavorts in the sunlight in a gay(happy) stupor. I mean that everyone gets their share of sunshine, one time or another. If you're dealing with crap, just know that there's something good waiting for you around the corner. And again, it feels good to know that there are people out there who can share your happiness.

For those of you who talk to me often..now you know why I've gone all Confucius with the proverbs.
