New Song Idea

Can’t believe that I have found a way
to tell myself that it’ll be okay.
Told myself that I was here to stay.
Caught between what I thought I need
and what I thought I’d do to make it be okay.
Steppin’ out of my broken cage.
runnin’ into my broken ways.
Fighting back against the rage
that I feel when I steal the night away.

You act like i don’t know what you are going to say
But I’ve been waiting for this call more than five damn days.
The nose always knows, and you’re the prettiest suspect,
There’s nothing I want to hear those lips confess.
I read your mind one more time, deserve my chair and my rope,
They’d look better on you but take a leg when you go.
Let me wobble in peace, go back to your special friend
You can squabble about the same shit we always did.
You did it for you, you did it for Who?
The Who gives and Who cares… now we’re doctor Suess.
But if I hear a Who and it’s remotely like you?
I’ll do what my friends always told me to do.
I’ll take nearly used rope, and this three legged chair.
RIP, just for me, there’s white denial in your hair.

New Song Idea: “Reality”

All you people, y’all act like you don’t know me
You can’t walk around thinkin’ it’s the old me
But I’m the new me, y’all can’t touch me
I spit these words like a venom
When I’m speakin’ ’bout the old me
You like the new me? I’m here to stay
Just give these words a listen cuz I’m not goin’ away
I write these rhymes ’bout my life cuz it’s all I know
I’ve learned a lot since the last time, I grow and grow
So you people so concerned with how I ought to be
Shut your mouth, let me be
I’m talkin’ bout reality

Verse to a New Song: Untitled

I can’t stick this out I don’t have a doubt
That without this I’d be walking out
on my world
Believe me when I start to shout
That this life can’t just be all about
What I say and what I do
And all the little things in between
Tell me all that you have seen
And tell me that you’re made to see
Because I can’t begin to feel
That this pain inside is mostly real
So I confess my sins before I meet
My maker, I shake her
Trying to wake her
Helpless in the end I begin to see
That this is right for me
And this is right for me…

Super Bowl Victors

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the Super Bowl. Final Score? 27 to 23. A little closer than my 31 to 24 prediction in favor of the Steelers. However, the Steelers are still the victors.

The Steelers were down 23 to 20 with 2:40 left in the 4th quarter, a situation they have faced 4 previous times this season. All 4 previous times they were forced to cap a game-winning drive, they delivered, and won the game. This time was no different. The Steelers drove the length of the field to cap a 5th game-winning drive in the 4th quarter this season, ending with a spectacular catch by Santonio Holmes, the game’s MVP, this time earning them the title of World Champions.

I can finally be biased. I was insanely happy that the Steelers won the game. I have been a big Steelers fan for a long time, and was forced to overcome false fanhood from my hometown (Findlay, Ohio) because Ben Roethlisberger graduated from my high school (Findlay High School). My entire town erupted in “Steeler Pride” when Ben went to the Steelers. The Mayor of Findlay dubbed the week leading up to the Super Bowl “Ben Roethlisberger Week” and I was even forced to see such billboards as this:

I frankly couldn’t care less that Ben Roethlisberger graduated from my high school. I have been a Steelers fan for a long time, and to be completely honest, I am a Steelers fan in SPITE of Big Ben.

All things aside, I am glad the Steelers won, and I am hoping for a repeat next year in Super Bowl XIV.

Oh and as a small P.S., my roommate successfully has been dubbed (actually, inadvertently dubbed himself) the nickname Omega. That is all.
