I Am A Rock!

Simon and Garfunkel write:

A winters day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Ive built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
Its laughter and its loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Dont talk of love,
But Ive heard the words before;
Its sleeping in my memory.
I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

I wrote ... why the hell won't this stop with the italics? I think it's Firefox. Wait a moment while I switch to a different browser... Of all the annoying...
I am now using Explorer to see if this browser will obey my comands. And, as you can see, no.... Let me try something else to remove the italics.

Ummm ... No, drat! GADS!!!! Nothing ever obeys! Of all the ... filth foul foul filth.... Anyway, I guess you'll have to endure the slanted letters. I do apologize, but I can't seem to fix the problem. So much for dramatic flare in a post of self-loathing. Geesh! I can't feel sorry for myself properly!!!! :)

Anyway, I just wanted to comment on the above lyrics. They are true. Hey, Paul and Art, I am going to prove you right, Boys! I am going to be that rock, that island.

So, why am I writing this... Hell if I know. I just felt like being bitter. People don't think one should feel bitter. But, why the hell not? So, I post, then I shall stop being bitter and get on with something better, shall I? Okay. That should fix this slanted letter thing going on. I will never, ever post lyrics to a song in Italics ever again.
