A really, really, really vicious nasty brink-of-death cold of flu or similar illness that you truly and sincerely wish would just 'finish the job' and kill you already...

Unfortunately you live through every last stinking moment of it.

From Stephen King's "The Stand" a tale about an 'end of the world' plaque.
Winter of 2003 I must've come down with that "The Stand" virus. Ribcage felt like it was wrapped in a bandclamp from all the coughing.

I swear I saw a family of Ebola viruses packing for Florida it was so bad.

A person who so closely resembles another person in some fashion that you have no other option but to judge them according to how you like the person they remind you of.
Guy A: I'm totally in love with Alisa.

Guy B: Dude, you don't even know her, you're just using her as a stand-in for that exchange student you have a huge crush on that left, Sophie.

To wait while someone you know or even yourself looks for something they should already know where its at. To wait or be put on delay for a stupid reason.

If we are meant to be
we must meet
If we're not meant to be
we must meet
I'm not leaving until i know
If you're the one

Or if this a show
You told me once we can make this work
And i saw a universe in your eyes
It made me feel warm and welcome
Is it still in you
Coz it is in me
You can bet it is in me
All you need to do is hold out your hand
I'll read you baby
I'll take a stand

Stand is the physical manifestation of our fighting spirits. This so called "power" originated from the popular manga series known as JoJo's Bizzare Adventure written by Hirohiko Araki. When you are struck by a special arrow you will get this power. A stand can be called out by pronouncing its name or other stuff
I wish i could get Stands from JoJo man...

An amazing band from Ireland, based in New York, that has an incredibly unique, contrasting, complex, and yet simplistic sound that is none like any other band. Although they do not have a record label, they continually mold and shape the music scene of New York City with their cutting (and top of the line) live preformances. With previous albums such as: Beautiful Grey (day?), Correspondant, and their new Transmissions,the Irish lads have continually to build on a new sound which they have played with for a long time, and will no doubt bring them places. www.standland.com
I was at Arlene's Grocery last night and saw this band Stand as the final act! Once they played a song called Overview, I was decked by how above their live and song writing ability was compared to the other band.
