7. Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me.

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

14. That's a line from a movie.
From one of these movies, not sure which, "No Country for Old Men" or "There Will Be Blood"
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B35rYEkYgvs&feature=PlayList&p=2E7EAF7DFBF633E5&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=30

Explaination:

New York magazine even offers a user's guide to the phrase. It suggests using it as sports metaphor ("The Celtics drank the Knicks' milkshake last night"), a sexual double entendre or a taunt, as in "You'd best back down before I drink your milkshake."

Anderson concedes that he's puzzled by the phenomenon — particularly because the lines came straight from a transcript he found of the 1924 congressional hearings over the Teapot Dome scandal, in which Sen. Albert Fall was convicted of accepting bribes for oil-drilling rights to public lands in Wyoming and California.

In explaining oil drainage, Fall's "way of describing it was to say 'Sir, if you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake and my straw reaches across the room, I'll end up drinking your milkshake,' " Anderson says. "I just took this insane concept and used it."

http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2008-02-03-blood-milkshake_N.htm

I take it to refer to sending a well laterally into another's oil field.

22. Thank you. Nice to be in the circle of sanity with you, Fire1.
It's a small circle, but the coffee's fresh and there's always snacks.
