  7. the whole world falls into a sombre mood when they begin to ponder the path our world is going

    why don’t they move forward faster and try to stop the economy from spiraling out of control

    it’s a world that is fast becoming a buy buy buy and bankrupt bankrupt bankrupt

  15. How hard is it to feel sombre on a day liike today. Endless days of summer lie before you, the kids are still sleeping and the lakeview is spectactular. Sombre today is not having someone there to share the amazing morning with. These are the kind of days my mom lived for. She would linger over her coffee and talk about the day. Keep telling herself that she should get going before it got too hot. Sombre is not the way to feel on a day like today.

  32. i think this word is spanish for a hat of some sort. sombrao is the actual name i am sure. it is also similar to the name of a popular italian fast food chain, sabarro. i may have spelled that incorrectly. sombre, the ending seems french. it would be what my professor refers to as an re verb. i never understood how re means to reply to am e-mail… oh, re… reply… got it. it all makes sense now. now, if only i knew what a sombre was. i have no clue. those, however, are my guesses. how much time do i have again? will it stop me automatically? oh well, ill keep writing until i am sure that a minute has passed at least. i pronouce sombre sombray. thats phonetical spelling at its best. what the hell is this game all about?

  35. I think sombre thoughts all the time. My life is like a dark dream. Everything is seen in a shade of black. Everyone around me tries to be cheerful while I continue to live a sobmre life. Why can’t I see past the nightmares that plague me? Why can’t I be happy like everyone else?
