FIVE'S DECLARATIVE STATEMENT OF THE DAY

STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS books are awesome.

Lyrics to Live By

If everything we've got is blowing away
We've got a rock and a rock till our dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all we got but it's all I need
You're all I need

And if all we've got, is what no one can break,
I know I love you, if that's all we can take,
the tears are coming down, they're mixing with the rain,
I know I love you, if that's all we can take.

"All I Need"

MAT KEARNEY

Four's Pokemon Fact of the Day

Pokémon X and Y is the first Pokémon game to be three-dimensional.

Lyrics to Live By

So here you are now, nowhere to turn
It's just the same old yesterday
You made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you've ever known is to run
So you keep on drivin' faster into the sun

But everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes

"Everybody"

Lyrics to Live By

I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am fine

"Colorblind"

COUNTING CROWS

Five's Lizard Fact of the Day

Our yellow-throated plated lizard is from Africa. He's a burrowing lizard

Lyrics to Live By

I got my ticket for the long way ‘round
Two bottles of whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I’m leaving tomorrow, what-do-you say?

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

"Cups"

ANNA KENDRICK

Five's Lizard Fact of the Day

Did you know Leopard Gecko's store fat in their tails?

Four's Pokemon Fact of the Day

Four likes Infernape, which is a fire Pokémon, even though some people think the fire types are a bit cliché.

Lyrics to Live By

My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We don't come from money

But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like crystal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz

"Royals"

LORDE

Five's YuGiOh Fact of the Day

He's needs one more Hieretic Dragon King of Atum to complete the deck, but he's decided he really wants to concentrate on Pokémon for a while.

Lyrics to Live By

We run on fumes
Your life and mine
Like the sands of time
Slippin' right on through
And our love's the only truth
That's why I run to you

The world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
When it all starts coming undone
Baby you're the only one I run to
I run to you

"I Run To You"

LADY ANTEBELLUM

Lyrics to Live By

I hear the waves
Sun beatin' down on my shoulders
It's a near-perfect day
Wishin' I wouldn't get any older
They say that it's gone 'fore you know it now

Quiet your mind
Soak it all in
It's a game you can't win
Enjoy the ride

I feel the change
Goin' on all around me
It's strange
How I'm taken and guided
Where I end up right I'm needed to be

Quiet your mind
Soak it all in
It's a game you can't win
Enjoy the ride

"Quiet Your Mind"

ZAC BROWN BAND

Five's Yi Gi Oh Fact of the Day

He's building a Hieretic deck now, because if you've ever faced someone with a Hieretic deck you've been totally owned.

Five's YuGiOh Fact of the Day

You can buy the mega-packs of the Seal of Orichalcos but the Legendary 3 collection will have more valuable cards, including the Left and Right Arm of the Forbidden One.

Lyrics to Live By

Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

"Brave"

SARA BAREILLES

Lyrics to Live By

There ain't enough of me to go around
Got all kinds of reasons
To be all over town
Spread thin and broken down
Everybody wants a piece
Oh darlin' I'm afraid

You've been last but not least
Everyone I love the most
Has to take what's left of me
I put it all together
But I left out one big piece
I put you last
But you're not least

"Last But Not Least"

ZAC BROWN BAND

Five's Yu Gi Oh Fact of the Day

Neo-Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon looks like Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis.

How I Failed Five Today

I did not. He loves me for getting him his geckos, and his gerbils, and the dog, and the last fish swimming.

(I would buy him a zoo if I thought it would make him better.)

Lyrics to Live By

One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape, and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea, and they'll know

That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away

"Letters From The Sky"

CIVIL TWILIGHT

Lyrics to Live By

But the good news is
There's angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The ones that you been dragging for so long
You're on your knees
You might as well be praying
Guess what I'm saying

If you're going through Hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

"If You're Going Through Hell"

RODNEY ATKINS

How I Failed Five Today

Didn't make him enough popcorn chicken. I should really know better by now.

Lyrics To Live By

Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

"Stronger"

SARA EVANS

How I Failed Five Today

I'm not always nice to him.

How I Failed Five Today

Haven't bought him those basketball sneakers I promised and the season is almost over and he'd really like to not be playing in a pair of sneakers that have a hole, an actual hole, in the side!

Lyrics to Live By

I've been beaten down,
I've been kicked around.
But she takes it all for me.
And I lost my faith, in my darkest days.
She makes me want to believe.

They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love,
And she is all I need.
She's all I need.

"She Is Love"

PARACHUTE

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't buy him Burger King. I mean, how bad is it anyway?

Lyrics to Live By

I'll follow you into the park
Through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I never loved one like you

Moats and boats and waterfalls
Alleyways and pay phone calls
I've been everywhere with you

That's true, laugh until we think we'll die
Barefoot on a summer night
Never could be sweeter than with you

And in the streets you run a-free
Like it's only you and me
Geez, you're something to see

Ah, home, let me go home
Home is wherever I'm with you
Ah, home, let me go home
Home is wherever I'm with you

"Home"

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

Lyrics to Live By

I got no money in my pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
I had a job and I lost it
But it won't get to me

'Cause I'm ridin' with my baby
And it's a brand new day
We're on the wheels of an angel
Flyin' away

"Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me"

KEITH URBAN

How I Failed Five Today

Didn't! He forgot his folder on the kitchen table and tried to blame me. "Just kidding!" he said, with a laugh. Perhaps Five is growing up?

Lyrics to Live By

So, bless my heart
Bless my mind
I got so much to do, I ain't got much time
So, must be someone up above
sayin' come on girl!
You got to get back up!

You got to hold on...

"HOLD ON"

ALABAMA SHAKES

How I Failed Five Today

Let him stay home from school because his stomach hurt but wouldn't let him eat popcorn while he watched a movie.

How I Failed Five Today

Took my computer with me to Arizona.

Lyrics to Live By

When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me

When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I'll find him next to me

"Next To Me"

EMILE SANDE

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't check the messages again to make sure school wasn't cancelled for a snow day.

Lyrics to Live By

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we're miles away
So we'll come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Carry on, carry on

"Carry On"

fun.

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't snuggle.

How I Failed Five Today

Threw out his current event article before he handed it in, because I thought he presented it two weeks ago. But I saved the day by printing a new one from the online newspaper! Only half a fail.

Lyrics to Live By

I've been trying to do it right
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed
I've been sleeping in my bed

So show me family
All the blood that I will bleed
I don't know where I belong
I don't know where I went wrong
But I can write a song

I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart

"Ho Hey"

THE LUMINEERS

How I Failed Five Today

Made him change out of the pajamas he slept in into new ones for Pajama Day. It was just ridiculous. Who cares if he's not wearing underwear?

Lyrics to Live By

The yellowed page of the books and books I'd forgotten that I had
These paperbacks they know their age they smell of weight and time that's resting warm
The opened box beside the endless box parade that haunts my house
Is fit to split with photographs that tell the wanderlust of years smashed onto years

When all this actual life played out
Where the hell on earth was I?
I rack my brains but it won't come

Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one

I read your name under words in your elegant hand you probably don't mean now
I fold the letter and think of a million and one things that I could have done different

"Please Just Take these Photos From My Hands"
