Here are the "lyrics"Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97:Wear sunscreen.If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.I will dispense this advice now.Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.Oh, never mind.You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.You are not as fat as you imagine.Don't worry about the future.Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.Do one thing every day that scares you.Sing.Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.Floss.Don't waste your time on jealousy.Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind.The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.Remember compliments you receive.Forget the insults.If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.Keep your old love letters.Throw away your old bank statements.Stretch.Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives.Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.Get plenty of calcium.Be kind to your knees.You'll miss them when they're gone.Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't .Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.Your choices are half chance.So are everybody else's.Enjoy your body.Use it every way you can.Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your livingroom.Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.Do not read beauty magazines.They will only make you feel ugly.Get to know your parents.You never know when they'll be gone for good.Be nice to your siblings.They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on.Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.Travel.Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise.Politicians will philander.You, too, will get old.And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.Respect your elders.Don't expect anyone else to support you.Maybe you have a trust fund.Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse.But you never know when either one might run out.Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.Advice is a form of nostalgia.Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.But trust me on the sunscreen.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you would like to "apply" to do any of the shots (each line is roughly one shot unless you have something else in mind) just send me and email with the subject Apply, copy and paste the line you want to do into, and email to me including any notes about what you would like to do with it :) If I don't like the idea you have and we cannot find any middle ground I reserve the right to not include you in the project :( sorry!San0145@aol.com

theshyfox Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - You could just say you aren't going to take part. I'm most certainly not on my own in this project even if not a single person on youtube wants to help (which is not true there are a couple so far) because my friends in real life are interested in it aswell :)

Nov 19, 2008 - You are scary, and I won't subscribe... And don't keep it up, Nigahiga already stole all the popularity, sucker :PIf you want to you can do a suicide, no one won't care, I think.
theshyfox Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Wow... Well I don't know where all of this "hatred" is coming from but I hope that what ever terrible things that have happened to you to make you such a bitter person don't effect you for to long. I'd hate to see any one suffer, including those who couldn't care less what happens to me. :) have a nice day, and say hello to nigahiga for me!
billybobbabes Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - how do i do that?
knowledgegiver456 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - if you make jokes about suicide dude at least make it funny...
littlebrit123 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Nobody hates shyfox!!! Noone!!!!!! >:P
EliasTheBetrayer Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - It was not a joke.
EliasTheBetrayer Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Of course you say that kind of bullshit in front of your fans, what else would they expect ? And if you do a suicide, no one won't see it (well, before they find your corpse), so what are you talking about seeing someone else suffer? Yeah, people don't like to see someone else suffer, but you can do a quick sucide, without any suffering.
theshyfox Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here but please, go tell an sad emo girl to kill herself, you're more likely to achieve your goal. By telling me to throw everything away just because of one comment on youtube then you only make yourself look like a pompous ass. :) I hope you're able to look at yourself and figure out just what drives to try and verbally assault people. Maybe it was something from your past you are trying to repress?
EliasTheBetrayer Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Nothing is wrong with me, and nothing special hasn't happen in my past.Maybe you are so retard you take everything literally.GG.
knowledgegiver456 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - what was not a joke?. i cant even recall wht i typed. you got to respond with a precis of my comments or include a frame of refrence so i can godaM UNDerstand yr godamned point ok?
knowledgegiver456 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - BTW I GODAMNED LOVE KURT VONNENGUT.
theshyfox Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Maybe you don't understand that I was making a joke at your expense and it is you who is less the intelligent :)
theshyfox Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - By all means do :) I'll decide in a week (after I've gotta a few more applications) what a reasonable dead line would be for everybody to get finished.
