Dreams don't turn to dust

A song by Owl City. If you don't know what that song is.... oh you wouldnt...!
Splashdown in the silver screen
Into a deep dramatic scene
I swim through the theater
Or maybe I'm just a dreamer
Like a kite in the bright midday
Wonder stole my breath away
Shy sonata for Mercury
The stars always sing so pretty
This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
Dreams don't turn to dust
I made for the countryside
And my eyes never grew so wide
Apple, raspberry, river blue
I don't wanna leave without you
In the sound I'll gladly drown
Into the emerald underground
I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see
Surrounded by all this beauty
This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
(There's more but I can't write it.. character limits :/)

Luke: Hey have you listened to Owl City?
Mike: Of course! Especially Fireflies!
Luke: how about Dreams don't turn to dust?
Mike; what song is that?
Luke: YOU CURSED BEING, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, DISGRACEFUL ILLEGAL OWL CITIZEN!

I don't have time

When you say you don't have time for something, what you're really saying is, "This is not a priority for me right now." The 'no time' excuse is seductive because it sounds reasonable and removes personal responsibility. Research has found that it's socially acceptable to be busy, even admirable in our culture, which is why so many people lean on that excuse rather than just admitting the truth: 'This isn't my main focus right now.'

When my girl friend asked me to help her Chemistry assignment, I was like, 'I don't have time,' but really I just wanted to binge-watch my favorite show instead.

Don't-be-silly

A dismissive comeback used when someone attempts to challenge, threaten, or oppose you - in power, intellect, or skill - but their effort is so insignificant compared to your capability that it’s almost absurd. Often delivered calmly, not angrily, to emphasize effortless superiority and effortless dismissal.

Used when someone tries to compete with you, but the gap between you is so vast that their effort becomes unintentionally comedic.

"Manchester United thought they had a chance against Brentford. It was clear United where just fantasizing, as the Bees stung them three goals to one, don't-be-silly."

"Jake beat Kelly up, don't-be-silly."

PERSON A: "You think you can beat me."

PERSON B: "Don't-be-silly."

So I don't have to blame myself

Which is exactly what they are doing. Blaming me so that they don't have to blame themselves.

Hym "No. I work to fill a need. I do need to work just because the rest of you have to. This is a pathetic attempt as avoiding the resent you are going to experience when you have to continue to work and I do not. That's why I'm getting harassed at work. The want me to work harder and I do have to just work harder at you behest. You're being childish an you need to answer me in the manner I instructed. Text. Video. Or live on the Majority Report. And you need to talk about what is happening to me. If you would have done it in the first place you would have more kids and you'll have one fewer if you don't. Oh? Is it credible this time? But not 10 years ago? 'Blame Hym so I don't have to blame myself.' "

No you don't

You don't need to get the lights on first. The lights were on before now and you weren't doing it. If you needed lights you should have done it before the lights went out.

Hym "No you don't. You don't NEED anything. All of your NEEDS are met by the taxpayers. That is where the money YOU are still getting paid is going. To meet YOUR needs... INSTEAD of MY needs. That's exactly why I'm not paying. Your needs are being met. Mine are not. I've listed several things I need of the course of the last 7 years and I've received none of those things. Shut it down harder actually. Start locking people out of their bank accounts."
