Of the roles that I have played
Of vows I broke and vows I made
It's time to end, to end this masquerade"
--L'Âme Immortelle
"Masquerade"
The song can be found by clicking this link and just listening to it. It's a really good song. I think it's about breaking your own bindings...you don't need a mask to be who you are. I mean, I could dissect this verse by verse but that would take too much time. Perhaps another day.
As for thanksgiving...it went well. Now let's see about Christmas...
