40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk alone
-----------------------------------------------------
They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway
Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway
They press their lips against you
And you love the lies that they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
'Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
You're not listening anyway

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

the Hollywood Brother like this type of thread but has stayed away from this stuff for a few years. The reason is that most of these Hollywood Brother years have had more evil than good in them for your hero the Hollywood Brother. There have been years when there was great pain and sorrow. for a time a good Hollywood Brother year meant not as much lonliness and sorrow.

This year been pretty good. The Hollywood Brother got to see one of his favorite bands the Donnas play this year. Also Dee Snider got on local radio and the Hollywood Brother is a big Dee Snider fan because he taught us that you can't stop rock and roll and also made great videos. Other pluses include many post by the Hollywood Brother and a stronger connection for the Hollywood Brother to the people of this site.

On a down note this has been a year where the Hollywood Brother has been like a naraccisssit looking in the mirror. The difference is the Hollywood Brother was looking for imperfections and reminding himself every minute of every day. The Hollywood Brother also realized this year that as he grows older, more things wear out and you are one year closer to a lonly death that will have a Hollywood Brother funeral attended by no one.

However even if the hollywood brother wrestled with tough opponents like depression and reality the hollywood brother stay true to his code and never ever give up hope. The hollywood brother got to go to the great city of wildwood nj and even got to go back to vegas. The good the hollywood brother did was make friends with two posters who will hopefully live happily ever after hollywood brother style.

Finally the hollywood brother got renewed hope and faith in his heart thanks to one new poster on this site. she knows who she is and what she means to not only the hollywood brother but the man behind the hollywood brother. perhaps the hollywood brother has lucked out and found someone very special.

All in all a good year for the hollywood brother. the Hollywood brother survived, did not have major surgery this year and did not lose any family members this year. Granted the hollywood brother had two old crushes come back into his life with new boy toys thatthey flaunted in front of the hollywood brother but overall this year ends on a high note for the hollywood brother as it looks like the hollywood brother may someday have someone to share his hollywood brother life and dreams with.


this was a slice of real life for the hollywood brother. hope you were able to hang with it. if not then the hollywood brother got two words for you and the first does not start with a "f" but a capitol "s" as in suck it!
