I don’t know how I feel…
I don’t know what to feel…
I think I’m going bananas…
I can’t get a grip on myself…
But whatever!
Every so often I think it is okay to go crazy if that’s the only way for one to find his/her own sanity. And I am crazy as hell right now but I figured a few things out already. I may be incessantly and effectively acting tough but I am not invincible, you know. People think I am this and that but they really do not totally know me. And, yes, I am no Superwoman. Well, not “super” Superwoman. If you think so, now then I have my own kryptonite. Yes, I scar and I bleed and sometimes it takes me a dreadfully long time to heal. At times, the pain goes increasingly piercing, cringe-making even, through time – like poison traveling through your veins, discreet at first yet ultimately paralyzing. And it is only then that you learn you have been wounded and all along you have, in fact, been failing inside.
I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time until I next see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That with every breath I take I'm callin’ your name
Perhaps, it is true that I am an emotional cripple. Perhaps, you have been incredibly patient and now have decided to move on. Perhaps, it was my entire fault because I am a numb, nitpicky, lily-livered person who was just masking her unfounded fears. I do not know how to deal with these things and, more often than not, I am left alone wondering, shrouded in remorse and bitterness.
When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
Nevertheless, I am currently, in no doubt, hurting and it is my foolish heart’s fault. But just like what Beverley Knight said: “Shoulda, woulda, (and) coulda are the last words of a fool.” And so, here I am, still with leftover feelings, trying to move on and albeit this distance and coldness is crushing me, I would dare brave it.
I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
But it ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough
...
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do…
It’s over and done.
Here, I park.
Song lines from Evan and Jaron's "The Distance", John Mayer's "Dreaming with a Broken Heart", and A Fine Frenzy's "Almost Lover".

GERARD BUTLER, 39
Butler currently splits his time between Los Angeles and New York City. He has a pug named Lolita.
Butler was a heavy smoker but quit smoking in 2007 when he played Gerry Kennedy in PS, I Love You. "I was smoking a huge amount and having real bad premonitions and then I got this role where the guy dies of cancer", Butler said. "The film made me contemplate death and realise I was playing Russian roulette with my health. I've stopped smoking since".[citation needed]
Butler also prefers many people calling him Gerry. The main reason, as he told Jay Leno during an appearance on The Tonight Show, was because he disliked the way people, Americans especially, pronounced Gerard.[citation needed]
Butler said in an Esquire interview in 2009 that he abstains from alcohol. Gerard Butler is rumored to be in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston, which he also denied in the interview, saying that every time he is seen with a woman near him he is assumed to be with her.
In a 2004 interview with Movieline, Butler admitted to having been in relationships with both women and men, and chooses to keep his sexuality open and unlabeled.
In 1994, Fox was cast in a co-starring role as the eldest of five siblings who lose both parents in a car accident on the 1990s teen drama Party of Five, as Charlie Salinger. In 1996, People Magazine named Fox one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World. After Party of FiveHaunted, in 2002. was canceled following its sixth season, Fox starred in another TV series,
Since September 2004, Fox has played the role of the troubled and dedicated surgeon, Dr. Jack Shephard, on Lost. He initially auditioned for the role of James "Sawyer" Ford. However, co-creator J. J. Abrams thought he would be better for the role of Jack, a role originally slated to be for the pilot episode only. Fox was nominated for a Golden Globe, won the 2005 Satellite Award, and shared the 2006 Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, for his role in Lost. Incidentally, Fox claims to be the only cast member to know the ending of the show.
On December 2, 2006, he hosted Saturday Night Live with musical guests Tenacious D. In 2006, Fox co-starred with Matthew McConaughey in the sports drama, We Are Marshall. He also played a bit part in the action film Smokin' Aces and starred in the 2008 thriller, Vantage Point. He said of this film that as well as being a straightforward thriller, he thinks it has the potential to make people stop and think that "there are very different ways of looking at the world". In May 2008, Fox starred as Racer X in the movie Speed Racer.
Caviezel then moved to California and shortly thereafter was cast as one of the ten boxers in Michael Ritchie's con caper, Diggstown (1992). In 1993, he declined his acceptance to Julliard because he had won the role of Kevin Costner's youngest brother in Wyatt Earp
Early work brought him little attention, including Michael Bay's The Rock (1996), Ridley Scott's G.I. Jane (1997), Ang Lee's Civil War story Ride with the Devil (1999/I), Mimi Leder's Pay It Forward (2000), though he came to critical attention in Terrence Malick's Oscar-nominated The Thin Red Line (1998).
In 2000 he starred in his first sci-fi time travel adventure, Frequency (2000) with Dennis Quaid. But his first big break came when he met with producer Stephen McEveety and actor Mel Gibson to discuss a role in a surfing movie. He later found they wanted to cast him as Jesus in the movie The Passion of the Christ (2004). The movie made headlines and broke box-office records around the world. Although the movie dealt with controversial matters, Caviezel's performance was acclaimed by both critics and viewers. From an outcast actor to a respected film star, James Caviezel is continuing to give his best to play challenging roles. (1994).
