Of Mice and Men Summary for Project

George, however, has big plans for himself and Lennie - farmhouse, some land, rabbits and livestock. But Lennie, with his dim intellect, is continually gets them into trouble and out of work.

Goodbye - Hootie and the Blowfish
This song is stuck in my head, and I absolutely love the a-capella-ness of it. Plus the words are... quite pretty. And I love Darius' voice.
Tomorrow used to be a day away
Now love is gone and you’re into someone far away.
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand, not mine,
Holding onto yours because I could not find the time.
Now I can’t deny
Nothing lasts forever
I don’t want to leave
And I see the tear drops in your eyes
I don’t want to live to see the day we say goodbye
Now there comes another part of life that I call alone
Sitting at a bar with Chris
And I can’t leave 'cause my house ain’t no home, no.
I just wanna touch you girl
I wanna feel you close to me
Without your love I would give up now
And walk away so easily.
So maybe while you’re young
We’ll figure out together
That even with the pain, there’s a remedy
And we’ll be all right
I don’t want to live to see the day we say goodbye.
When I first met you I couldn’t love anyone
But you stole my dreams and you made me see
That I can walk under the sun
And I can still be me
And now I can’t deny nothing lasts forever.
But I don’t want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So baby while we’re young let’s figure out together
That even with the pain there’s a remedy
And we’ll be all right.
I don’t want to live to see the day we say goodbye,
We say goodbye, oh goodbye, goodbye.

"Running after me..."
The movie "Can't Hardly Wait" is one of my favourites. Sure, you might say it's a teen party movie. But it's got a message to it. At least one. "Fate can only take you so far..." I love the soundtrack as well. I didn't realize it until last night, but it's a Run DMC song that's playing as Kenny goes into the bathroom to get ready to lose his virginity... ah, the irony and fate in that scene!
A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade
Laying everybody low with me, a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"
Juliet says, "Hey, it’s Romeo! You nearly gimme a heart attack!"
He’s underneath the window, she’s singing, "Hey, la, my boyfriend’s back.
You shouldn’t come around here, singing up at people like that!
Anyway what you gonna do about it?"
Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet, and you exploded in my heart
And I forget the movie song
When you wanna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you, and your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
Where you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me think and thin
Now you just says, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him."
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die."
There’s a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
I can’t do the talk like they talk on TV
And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be
I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you
I can’t do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I’d do the stars with you any time
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die."
