I wonder about this list with Batman, The Dark Knight not making it into the Top 10 DVD sales considering it is the top grosser in theaters worldwide! I guess most people just watched it and not buy the DVD (like I did) whereas Iron Man people watched and bought the DVD (which I did too!).

What is this flutter?
Why am I feeling this queasy feeling in my stomach?
I shouldn't feel this but I am feeling,
this crazy tremulous feeling.
Heart pounding, head racing.
It is exciting.
It is confusing.
Heck, it is ...
around this time
every year since you left
you get me in this pensive mode
it's not as painful as
when i think about you
around the time we met
yes see, i had to think about you
twice every year.
that's all ...
