Hello.

I've got a long name that I really love, but people call me Cza for convenience. I am a creative in mind and heart who values happiness and love above anything else in the world. Learning life's lessons and desiring to transmit them to others in the future. Avid pen collector. Joy seeker. Building values and friendships that would last.

Please take time to visit my website and read about the things I like.

I love to encourage and empower. Feel free to ask me anything -- in search of some advice, a hopeful statement, or maybe an unlikely friend.

  1. Eavesdropping on my neighbors’ music is actually giving me ideas on what songs out there make great downloads.

    Thanks to them, I am re-discovering Andrew Gold’s Never Let Her Slip Away.

    Methinks I shall browse through old cassette tapes and see which songs are worth downloading.

    And your heels so high
    That you can’t even have a good time

    And you can keep the cars
    Leave me the garage
    And all I..
    Yes all I need are keys and guitars
    And its with in 30 seconds I’m leaving to Mars
    Yeah we leaping across these undefeatable odds
    Its like this man, you can’t put a price on the life
    We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice every night
    So we aint gon stumble and fall never
    Waiting to see this in the sign of defeat uh uh
    So we gon keep everyone moving their feet
    So bring back the beat and then everyone sing

    It’s not about the money, money, money
    We don’t need your money, money, money
    We just wanna make the world dance,

    Forget about the Price Tag
    Ain’t about the (uh) Cha-Chang Cha-Chang.
    Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Blang Ba-Blang
    Wanna make the world dance,
    Forget about the Price Tag.

    [Jessie J -Outro]
    Yeah, yeah
    Oo-oooh
    Forget about the price tag.

    I am in love with this song now. I thank my cousin for having introduced it to me while in line for immigration in Malaysia (would you believe the only thing we did there was eat lunch and store-hop a bit?) :D

  5. Crushcrushcrush - Paramore

    I got a lot to say to you
    Yeah, I got a lot to say
    I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
    Keeping them here
    And it makes no sense at all

    They taped over your mouth
    Scribbled out the truth with their lies
    You little spies (x2)

    Crush
    Crush
    Crush
    Crush, crush
    (Two, three, four!)

    Nothing compares to
    A quiet evening alone
    Just the one
    Two of us
    Who’s counting on
    That never happens
    I guess I’m dreaming again
    Let’s be more than this

    If you wanna play it like a game
    Well, come on, come on, let’s play
    ‘Cause I’d rather waste my life pretending
    Than have to forget you for one whole minute

    They taped over your mouth
    Scribbled out the truth with their lies
    You little spies (x2)

    Crush
    Crush
    Crush
    Crush, crush
    (Two, three, four!)

    Nothing compares to
    A quiet evening alone
    Just the one
    Two of us
    Who’s counting on
    That never happens
    I guess I’m dreaming again
    Let’s be more than this now

    Rock and roll, baby
    Don’t you know that we’re all alone now?
    I need something to sing about
    Rock and roll, hey
    Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
    I need something to sing about
    Rock and roll, hey
    Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
    Give me something to sing about

    Nothing compares to
    A quiet evening alone
    Just the one
    Two of us
    Who’s counting on
    That never happens
    I guess I’m dreaming again
    Let’s be more than
    No, oh

    Nothing compares to
    A quiet evening alone
    Just the one
    Two of us
    Who’s counting on
    That never happens
    I guess I’m dreaming again
    Let’s be more than
    More than this

    Dedicated to a friend who could absolutely relate to these lyrics, even if she might not be too fond of the song.

  7. Overweight - Blue October

    Ever carried the weight of another?
    For how long?
    I walk as far as they need to recover
    For how long? (ha!)

    I want to carry a piece of who I was before
    So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall
    I want to tear away the death again
    A whiter shade of fucking meth again
    I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued
    I want to shape the world to fit the way you move
    Oh, should I listen for a dress size?

    I owned up, I’ve grown up, do you remember me?
    I showed up and so what if I’m the used to be
    I’m here to tell you that I’m sorry I was sorry
    But I’m happy that you’re happy
    This is no longer about me

    Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes
    Let him be you through your beautiful cries
    Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies
    Live your life just like a dream
    Without the pain of goodbyes

    Goodbye!

    Ever carried the weight of another?
    For how long?
    I walk as far as they need to recover
    For how long?

    I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk
    Unlock the back of my trunk
    You see, you take this bat
    And bash my head into the street again
    No-ones around so I keep beating it

    Pull my hair back, look me in the eye
    There’s a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy
    It’s the guilt of what reality has given me
    Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity
    And when you’re sick you seem to think
    You’ve failed eternally

    And that the people you let in are only crumbling
    When you’re sick of faking life in this recovery
    When my decision paved the road
    That lies in front of me

    So to my friends that even call but I don’t call back
    I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill
    It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
    I’m really sick of saying sorry but I will

    Ever carried the weight of another?
    For how long?
    I walk as far as they need to recover
    For how long?

    But are we scared to take the ride?
    Or dare to look inside?
    I’m floating far away (far away)
    I’m floating far away (leaving home)
    I’m floating far away (so far away)
    I’m floating far away

    I want to learn to walk with others as an equal
    I want to treat the ones who love me with respect
    I want to tell the world I’ll give them all a piggyback
    And try to take away my negative effect
    I want to kiss a (girl) and know I’ll never lie again
    I want to call my dad and tell him that I care
    I want to let my brother know
    He saved my life a thousand times
    Throughout the years he’s been my friend
    Who’s always there

    Ever carried the weight of another?
    For how long?

  9. Change Your Mind - Boyce Avenue

    There you are with your perfect way
    You’ve got this little shine in your eyes
    To hear one word would make my day
    But there’s no room for me in your life
    Ohhhh
    You’ve got me down on my knees
    Ohhhh
    And in my mind I can see
    How perfect everything could be
    But you won’t give us a try

    [Chorus]
    But if I could change your mind
    How would you want me
    Would you say you need me
    ‘Cause I need you now

    I try to move on but your perfect way
    Has got a little child asking why
    But this world keeps spinning
    As my heart stops beating
    Is there still no room inside
    Ohhhh
    You’ve got me down on my knees
    Ohhhh
    And in my mind I can see
    How perfect everything could be
    But you won’t give us a try

    [Chorus]
    But if I could change your mind
    How would you want me
    Would you say you need me
    ‘Cause I need you now
    If I could change your mind
    (Please tell me I’m not the only one)
    (Please help me believe I’m not the only one)
    If I could change your mind

    [Chorus]
    But if I could change your mind
    How would you want me
    Would you say you need me
    ‘Cause I need you now

    [Chorus]
    And if I could change your mind
    How would you hold me
    Would you stay forever
    Or just leave me here to drown

    And if I could change your mind
    (Change your mind)
    If I could change your mind

    I won’t stop hoping you do, and trying to become a better person just for you.

  11. I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Ever Got.. (title too long to state in full)

    I found the cure to growing older
    And you’re the only place that feels like home
    Just so you know, you’ll never know
    And some secrets weren’t meant to be told
    But I found the cure to growing older

    I’m the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
    And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
    And I’ve got arrogance down to a science
    Oh, and I’m the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends

    [Chorus: x2]
    Douse yourself in cheap perfume it’s
    So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
    You can’t cover it up
    Can’t cover it up

    Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
    I’m sending your fingernails and empty bottles you’ve sipped
    Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
    So you can find a safe place, brace yourself

    They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
    But for what we’ve become, we just feel more alone
    Always weigh what I’ve got against what I left
    So progress report: I am missing you to death

    [Chorus: x2]
    Douse yourself in cheap perfume it’s
    So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
    You can’t cover it up
    Can’t cover it up
    (Nooooo)
    Someone old
    No one new
    Feeling borrowed
    Always blue
    Someone old
    No one new
    Feeling borrowed
    Always blue
    Someone old
    No one new
    Feeling borrowed
    Always blue
    Someone old
    No one new
    Always borrowed
    Always you

    I found a cure to growing older
    I found a cure to growing older

    [Chorus: x2]
    Douse yourself in cheap perfume it’s
    So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
    You can’t cover it up
    Can’t cover it up

    The perfect description of how I feel at the moment, now that I’m about to graduate from this school.

  13. Parachute - Train

    I wanna take you with me
    to life with no more yesterdays
    we can start again awake and so excited
    and change the way we always push
    we always push

    I’ll open up and be your parachute
    and I’ll never let you down
    so open up and be my human angel
    and we’ll only hit the ground
    running

    and when the world gets sharp and tries to cut you down to size
    and makes you feel like giving in
    oh, I will stay, I will rain, I will wash the words and pain away
    and I will chase away the way we push
    the way we pull
    you’re beautiful

    I’ll open up and be your parachute
    and I’ll never let you down
    so open up and be my human angel
    and we’ll only hit the ground
    running

    and if it feels like we might drop
    it will stop
    so don’t look down
    it wouldn’t be the same without you
    this life is too good to give up on

    I’ll open up and be your parachute
    and I’ll never let you down
    so open up and be my human angel
    and we’ll only hit the ground
    and we’re gonna hit the ground
    running

    Such a beautiful song this is.

  15. Brick by Brick - Train

    The dust has finally settled down
    The sun is shining on these pieces that are scattered all around
    This house was everything we knew
    Its where we kept our love and
    every single memory of me and you
    Every letter, every note, every dress you never wore under your coat
    Thrown away
    Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor
    If we hold onto each other, we’ll be better than before.
    And brick by brick,
    we will get back to yesterday
    When I made your body shiver and
    when you took my breath away,
    you took my breath away.

    The sky has made it back to blue,
    everything that’s left is telling us the worst of it is through.
    Home has never felt so right, there’s nothing in the way.
    There’s nothing in between us
    knowing where we’re going is inside.
    Every letter that I wrote,
    every dress you never wore under your coat
    Thrown away
    Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor
    If we hold on to each other,
    we’ll be better than before.
    And brick by brick,
    we’ll get back to yesterday.
    When I made your body shiver
    and when you took my breath away.

    All the pictures that we’ve taken
    and the songs that we have played
    They have all kept track and
    followed back the love that we have made.
    Now they’re spread out on the
    surface where we can try to congregate
    It’s not too late to believe that we can get it all again
    Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor,
    If we hold onto each other,
    we’ll be better than before.
    And brick by brick,
    we’ll get back to yesterday
    When I made your body shiver and
    when you took my breath away,
    you took my breath away.
    Brick by brick
    We’ll get back to yesterday,
    when I made your body shiver and
    when you took my breath away,
    you took my breath away.

  17. Dear John - Taylor Swift

    Long were the nights
    When the days once revolved around you
    Counting my footsteps,
    Prayin’ the floor won’t fall through, again
    My mother accused me of losing my mind
    But I swore I was fine

    You paint me a blue sky and go back
    And turn it to rain
    And I lived in your chess game
    But you changed the rules every day
    Wonderin which version of you
    I might get on the phone, tonight,
    Well I stopped pickin’ up
    And this song is to let you know why

    Dear John,
    I see it all now that you’re gone.
    Don’t you think I was too young
    To be messed with
    The girl in the dress
    Cried the whole way home
    I shoulda known.

    Well maybe it’s me
    And my blind optimism to blame
    Maybe its you and your sick need
    To give love then take it away
    And you’ll add my name
    To your long list of traitors
    Who don’t understand
    And I’ll look back in regret
    How I ignored when they said
    Run as fast as you can

    Dear John,
    I see all it now that you’re gone
    Don’t you think I was too young
    To be messed with
    The girl in the dress
    Cried the whole way home

    Dear John,
    I see it all now it was wrong
    Don’t you think nineteen’s too young
    To be played by your dark twisted games
    When I loved you so
    I shoulda known

    You are an expert at sorry
    And keeping lines blurry
    And never impressed by me
    Acing your tests
    All the girls that you run dry
    Have tired lifeless eyes
    Cuz you burned them out
    But I took your matches
    Before fire could catch me
    So don’t look now
    I’m shining like fireworks
    Over your sad empty town

    Oh woah oh

    Dear John,
    I see all it now that you’re gone
    Don’t you think I was too young
    To be messed with the girl in the dress
    Cried the whole way home
    I see all it now that you’re gone
    Don’t you think I was too young
    To be messed with
    The girl in the dress
    Wrote you a song
    You should’ve known
    You shoulda known
    Don’t you think I was too young
    You shoulda known.

  19. Bruno Mars - Grenade

    Easy come, easy go
    That’s just how you live, oh

    Black, black, black and blue beat me till I’m numb

    Mad woman, bad woman,

    Gave you all I had
    And you tossed it in the trash

    You said you loved me you’re a liar
    Cause you never, ever, ever did baby…
    But darling I’ll still catch a grenade for ya
    Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
    You know I’d do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Oh, oh
    I would go through all this pain,
    Take a bullet straight through my brain,
    Yes, I would die for ya baby;
    But you won’t do the same.
    No, you won’t do the same,
    You wouldn’t do the same,
    Ooh, you’ll never do the same,
    No, no, no, no

    I just happen to comprehend this song a little too much. Unrelated to my present life, though. :)
