When I sit and think of the days we shared And the nights you covered for me Every little thing that I ever did You would stand by me...
- "Cure My Tragedy" (Cold)
I've been sitting at this chair for the last two hours trying to think of something to write here, and I've got to be honest...For the most, part I'm drawing blanks. Except for one reaccuring thought that I haven't been able to kick.
Why does Gin taste like a Pine Tree?
I mean...Why do I even know what a Pine Tree tastes like? Wood isn't edible, it doesn't make sense that I would eat it, but when I drink a shot of Gin the first thing I think is..."Holy crap, this really tastes like a Pine Tree." Why is that? It just doesn't add up...It doesn't make sense.
Should I eat some Pine Needles just to...You know...See what's the deal?
What else do I have for you kids? I really don't want to leave you guys with such an intellectually-barren post like that. Wait...Huh? What's that? Uh oh...Oh no...Holy...It's coming...I can feel it...!!!!
IT'S SONG-TIME!!!
"It's a Long Way To Top If You Wanna Be a Flash" (Set to the tune of "A Long Way To The Top" by AC/DC)
Ridin' down Petrarca
Goin' to the dorm
Stopin' in at Rosies
Try to beat the late-night swarm
Hit the REC
Skip a class
Gettin' no sleep
Probably pass out
Gettin' drunk
Gettin' sick
I tell you people it's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
You think Flashes are ignorant and crass
Try gettin' A's in John Barack's class
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
Football team is so bad
Make you wanna cry
Cribbs got busted for the hard sell
You know the reason why
Gettin' blitzed
Gettin' played
Bookstore ripped me off
Can't get laid
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I'll tell you people, It's harder than it looks 'cause
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
If you wanna be a Buckeye, by all means
You'd be a better fit with those queens
'Cause it's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
It's a long way to the top if you wanna be a Flash
Well it's a long way
It's a long way, you should've told me
It's a long way, such a long way to be a Flash...
...Oh, it's good to be back.
Kwaherini,

Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me.
And then along comes Mary
Then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees...
- "Along Comes Mary" (The Bloodhound Gang)
Hey guys, it's been awhile. I apologize for the delay in posting anything new, but I was really lacking for anything to talk about for awhile there. Long story made short...I'm back at Kent. All is well with for the world for the next couple of days untill I freak out over something I caused for myself.
You know the routine...Why am I always sitting in my room watching TV? Is there more to the college life than classes, terrible food, a bi-weekly bout with exhaustion, mid-day naps, and extended NCAA 2005 binges? Why aren't I out partying or something? Why aren't I putting myself out there more to meet new people? I've been here a YEAR and I can count the amount of people I'm comfortable being with that I didn't know before I got here on one hand. Well, it's PROBABLY because I'm too lazy and comfortable with my little lot in life to go out and try something different. But don't tell that to Colin...I think he might be listening. *Shhh....*
So here I stand on the verge of my second year in College. Am I wiser? Sure. Am I more mature? Well, I was never very immature to begin with...That's my problem. Am I more dedicated to improving my status in the world? That's where the questions come in. A wise man once said..."Never take life too seriously, because if you do...You'll never make it out alive." That man also went on to be in "The In-Laws" and then nail crazy-ass Alanis Morissette, Soooo...Maybe he was wrong?

Sister Joan, age 54, ignores the desert sun,
The stranded church bus smoking, no sign of anyone.
Buzzards circle overhead, panic starts to set.
The kids are getting restless, her habit soaked with sweat.
The minutes become hours, she wobbles in the heat.
Then, a distant engine roars, approaching from the East.
She squints through horn-rimmed glasses, her pure heart skips a beat.
Snake McGinty's Harley Hog, parts the dusty heat.
Black leather-clad from head to toe, his eyelids barely open,
Sister Joan says, "Holy Ghost, please tell me that you're joking."
He parks his bike, stands six foot four, then gives her a nod.
Through leather pants his manhood shows, she rolls her eyes at God.
"Havin' trouble?", he barely mumbles. "Yes sir", she replies.
He pops the hood, takes off his shirt, she covers up her eyes.
"Kids", she says, "Back on the bus. Everyone be good."
Her fingers part, her eyes take in his reflection off the hood.
She grips her rosary tight with guilt and stares down at her socks.
Her mind protects her vows with God, but her body picks the lock.
He bends to check the fan belt, her nipples say, "Hello".
Her eyes climb up his leather chaps like a snail with vertigo.
She shuts her eyes and shakes her head, her legs start feeling funny.
"Lord", she says, "For work like this, I'm making shitty money."
He shuts the hood, "My name is Snake, I'm wanted in five states."
She said, "Snake you're my forbidden fruit, and I need a little taste."
The kids look on in disbelief. The kiss is slow, then faster.
Cheering rocks the school bus, till she says "Snake let's ditch these bastards.
As they left, the kids screamed "No", she turned around and waved.
Her next confession killed a priest and lasted seven days.
For years the scandal rocked the church, but she regained their trust.
She still teaches Sunday school, but she doesn't drive the bus.

That's it for this post. I just wanted to share this genius poem. Hasta.

The things I need to say
Things maybe better left unsaid
This game we've played is at it's end
Please don't say those words I dread...
Hanging on the words you say
I'm praying for that final day
When I can look you in the eyes and know
That there is nothing left for me to show.
I can't keep up this charade
I can't keep faking this distant exterior
Like a blade, you've cut me far too deep
Like the scar that remains, you've become a part of me.
Our destiny is up to fate to plot
I've made my case, I've cast my lot
Show me a sign, let me know this isn't time mis-spent
Could you be the light to break my discontent?
Hanging on the words you say
I'm praying for that final day
When I can look you in the eyes and know
That there is nothing left for me to show.
