SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD:

[Wyclef]
I'm just sittin' here playin' the guitar

[Claudette]
City High, Claudette and 'Clef

[Wyclef]
Ehh, excuse me
If you see me screamin'
Deep in my mind
I'm only dreamin'
Cuz if I wake girl
And your not by my side
I feel like half of me
Is no longer alive
So please shorty,
Before you walk out that door, booby
Would you listen to my song?

[Claudette]
If only, I give you one last chance (one last chance)
Wit the devil you can no longer advance
You've got to be faithful
So we could be fruitful
Build a family
And follow God's destiny
So just before I run to the block, papi
I might listen to your song

[Wyclef] BOO, before you walk out that door listen

[Chorus: Wyclef & Claudette]
[W.J.] They say two wrongs don't make a right
[C.O.] Don't make it right
[W.J.] So if I'm wrong, I ain't tryna fight
I'm tryna have some dinner wit some candlelight
[C.O.] Yeah, yea
[W.J.] Lay up in tha bed and make love all night
[C.O.] So papi I won't leave, maybe I'll just stay
But promise me that you'll do the same
[W.J.] Girl I'ma love you, like I never loved you
[C.O.] Touch me, like you never touched me
[W.J.] Yo, if you give me the chance girl, I'm gone show you

[Claudette]+(Wyclef)
Now baby, understand (I understand)
That I forgive you
But I ain't gone forget
That you brought me a reason

[Wyclef]
Baby, baby, baby, baby
But I have grown
From a thug into a man
Built my castle with bricks,
And no longer with sand
Oh girl

[Claudette]
Then just before I run to the block baby,
I might listen to your song

[Wyclef] BOO, before you walk out that door listen

[Chorus: Wyclef & Claudette]
[W.J.] They say two wrongs don't make a right
[C.O.] Don't make it right
[W.J.] So if I'm wrong, I ain't tryna fight
[C.O.] I don't wanna fight
[W.J.] I'm tryna have some dinner wit some candlelight
[C.O.] Yeah, yea
[W.J.] Lay up in tha bed and make love all night
[C.O.] So papi I won't leave, maybe I'll just stay
But promise me that you'll do the same
[W.J.] Girl I'ma love you, like I never loved you
[C.O.] Touch me, like you never touched me
[W.J.] Yo, if you give me the chance girl, I'm gone show you

[Claudette]
I'm so used to rain
That I can't see the sunshine no more
I'm so used to the pain that the
The sickness heals like a cure

[Wyclef]
But only if you gave me the keys to your soul
And let me in, I'm gonna love you over
[C.O.] Over
[W.J.] And over
[C.O.] Over
[W.J.] Again
[Both] Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, Ohh

[Chorus: Wyclef & Claudette]
[W.J.] They say two wrongs don't make a right
[C.O.] Don't make it right!
[W.J.] So if I'm wrong, I ain't tryna fight
[C.O.] I don't wanna fight, no, whoa, oh
[W.J.] I'm tryna have some dinner wit some candlelight
[C.O.] Yeah, yea, make love to me!
[W.J.] Lay up in tha bed and make love all night
[C.O.] So papi I won't leave, maybe I'll just stay
But promise me that you'll do the same
[W.J.] Girl I'ma love you, like I never loved you
[C.O.] Touch me, like you never touched me
[W.J.] Yo, if you give me the chance girl, I'm gone show you

[Claudette]
Show me, yeaa

[Wyclef]
I aint gon stay on tha block no more girl
I'ma come home early girl, I promise

[Claudette]
Yea yea .. {*till fade*}


~ Wyclef Jean feat. City High - Two Wrongs

An oldie, but a goodie.
 
 
YAWN...

Wow, its late. Or early? Why the freak am I still awake?

...

Oh well. Might as well do this.

- First ordah of bizness: yesterday. It was long as crap. That doesnt sound right... but it was. From 8:05 in the morning till 11:00 PM at SCHOOL. That's TORTURE! But it was (sort of) fun, and it brought back memories (sad memories that I'd like to forget, but sad ones nonetheless.) First of, right in the middle of 4th period, it got like PITCH BLACK outside, and that wasnt cool. But nope, the football game was still on, so all us band chillin huddled in the band room, watching what looked like a hurricane go by outside. And, of course, when it rains and thunders and hails and stuff, people get chatty. And when people get chatty, JR gets pissed. Which was exactly what happened. But, oh well, the freshmen needed some yelling at. Chic-Fil-A was awesome... much poking ensued. :\ Then during the football game (which we lost, 8-11, last ditch attempt failed on our side) we just watched the little kids that always come to the game murder each other. The show was pretty good (except the end... o_O) and then we just chilled. Except Jon and John and the 10 FREAKIN' FRESHMAN GIRLS THAT WERE.... ehh, lets not get into that.

- I finally got a scanner that works. AWESOME.

- Hmm... I promised yall a poem, so here's one

You see no emotion,
You see no pain,
You see no feelings,
cause they're all in my brain.

When I'm sad or hurt,
You don't see me cry,
On the outside it seems,
I just let it slip by.

But I never forget,
They're all in my head,
I'll remember them from when they happened,
Probably until I'm dead.

You dont think I love,
But deep inside of me,
Deep within my heart,
Those emotions run free.

On the outside it dont seem like I care,
Like I dont give a damn,
But all you gotta do is break to my core,
And you'll see the person I really am.


Yeah, that sucked, but its 1:30 in the morning. Cut me some slack.

- I'm on chapter 8 in my novel... woohoo.

- The Car = my favorite book of the moment. It's... awesome. It's... emotional. It's... FILLED WITH HIPPIES. But aside from that setback... it's the shizzy.

SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD:

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the things meet yeah

You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?


~ The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
 
 
TIME FOR SOME THUNKIN'

*cricks fingers* Awrighty. Time to run down my list. (oh lordy, that sounded like you-know-who...)

- If you ask me a you-know-what about me and you-dont-know-who... *violent gesture* Blah.

- How lucky practically all of my cousins are... NO SCHOOL FOR THEM CAUSE OF POWER OUTAGES. >_< How cruel life is.

- Y'know what sucks? Drive on the highway, and look at every single car. My guess would be that roughly 30% of them would be having a crappy day, 20% would be having a great day, 10% would be having the shittiest day of their life, 5% would be having the greatest day of their life, and the other 35% would be just in the middle. EVERYONE LOOKS ALL GRUMPY IN A CAR (besides the choice few that I have passed that grin insanely back at me.) WE MUST SPREAD HAPPINESS. *throws flowers around*

- I've copied down about 1/3rd of the Sax Quartet sheet music!
Enthusiastic crowd: YAAAY!!!
... in a b-flat key.
Not-so-enthusiastic crowd: ... BOOO.
Oh well.

- ... I just cut myself. Ow.

- $#%$@^ MOSQUITO BITES.

- Praise whatever you believe in that tomorrow is Friday. I'm already tired of school. What happened already that I dont like...
GEOMETRY: My teacher is boring. No if, ands, or buts about it. Full out boring.
BAND: Well, JR is becoming more... JRish... but now that I've complained him not being evil, now its time to complain about him being evil again. Ahh, memories.
ENGLISH: Well, its not too terrible, but we do one essay-sized thing for homework, and then the next day we have like an hour long discussion about it. WE ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

- Next blog I'll have a poem for yall to read.

- Aha, I'm making a comic about my phreaked up life. Lesseh, I've written one about a WWII Omaha Beach paintball reenacment with lil Marc, and one about my stylish-yet-cartoony drawing style, and one about Brian eating people's babies, and one about all us band geeks, and one about Dominique and how he lik- *gets stabbed*

>_>

SONG CURRENTLY STUCK IN MY HEAD:

Happiness is just a word to me
And it might have meant a thing or two
If I'd known the difference

Emptiness, a lonely parody
And my life, another smokin' gun
A sign of my indifference

Always keepin' safe inside
Where no one ever had a chance
To penetrate a break in

Let me tell you some have tried
But I would slam the door so tight
That they could never get in

Kept my cool under lock and key
And I never shed a tear
Another sign of my condidtion

Fear of love or bitter vanity
That kept me on the run
The main events at my confession

I kept a chain upon my door
That would shake the shame of Cain
Into a blind submission

The burning ghost without a name
Was calling all the same
But I wouldn't listen

The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
I was crawlin' into the fire

The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
I kept fallin' into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire

Suddenly it occurred to me
The reason for the run and hide
Had totaled my existnce

Everything left on the other side
Could never be much worse that this
But could I go the distance

I faced the door and all my shame
Tearin' off each piece of chain
Until they all were broken

But no matter how I tried
The other side was licked so tight
That door it wouldn't open

Gave it all that I got
And started to knock
Shouted for someone
To open the lock
I just gotta get through the door

And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
The hotter I got
The harder I'd knock
I just gotta break through the door

Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Break through the door


~ Mai Yamane & The Seatbelts - Gotta Knock A Little Harder
 
 
SCHOOL... BLAAAH.

Okay, I've got a whole buncha junk for you to read through, so listen to some music while you're scrolling through my inane dribble.

- Kelly's party was off the hizzy fo shizzy in my nizzy.... yeah. Nothing gets much better than pooltime, PS2, and Strong Bad's emails. Mah present: the first 5 episodes of Bebop on DVD. I'm so thoughtful. A pity D, Brian, Stefan and Big Marc didnt drown each other... oh well.

- Bout all my teachers: Lesseh...

Biology : Miz Clements looks like oboe Amanda... o_O And she's nice, which is good considering I have her for Honors Biology, which should be challenging
English : Miz Black is nice... she just gave us a ton of homework on the first day.
Band : Need ye ask? Well, if you do, is it just me, or is JR being insanely nice to the freshies this year? Letting em get water, not even raising his voice to them... last year he screamed at us freshies on the first day.
World History : Miz Erickson is verrrry quiet, but she seems nice...

Spanish : MISTAH P IS THE SHIZZY. Spanish is gonna rock this year.
Comp Science : Miz Whitehurst seems okay, if not a little energetic and a wee bit crazy.
Band : ... moving right along...
Geometry : Probably my worst class, but not because my teacher is evil. Miz Maple is just a bit... boring. (sorry!)

- WHY THE FREAKING HECK DID THEY BLOCK THE HALLWAY AT SCHOOL? It's going to be heck getting around now...

- I told Kathryn... why? Iunno. I was out of it at the time.

- The Real Folk Blues = song stuck in my head. Too bad it's (mostly) in Japanese, but the music itself is awesome. But I'll post the lyrics to the OTHER song stuck in my head (which are in English, joy.)

- I'm like a quarter of the way done with my novel... chapter 7. WOO. Too bad you cant see it yet... ITS A SECRET. SHHH.

That's all.
Peace out.

SCHEDULE!!!

Finally got mah freakin' schedule, which I've been waiting for for like the past week or so... and I have no clue who any of the teachers on this list are. Here it is for the few of you who care:


1-1: Biology with Clements
1-2: Honors English with Black
1-3: Band with J.R
1-4: World History with Maple (I gotta get that changed...)
2-1: Spanish with Pereira (who is this, and is he like Lewis?)
2-2: Computer Art and Animation with Rush
2-3: Band with J.R
2-4: Geometry with Maple

Whee, that's first semester at least. At least I dont have Spanish with Lewis (thank you, Lord) and I have Comp Art which should be easy as pie. I gotta get World History changed to honors though, somehow...

Band camp over (thank you for that too, Lord) and partay on Saturday. Awesome. Sleep time is now.

SONG CURRENTLY IN MY HEAD:

A dedication to all the refugees worldwide
One time say, say, say

I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn.
Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet.
Good friends we had,
Good friends we've lost along the way.
In this great future you can't forget your past, So dry your tears
I say And to my peeps who passed away,

No woman, no cry, no woman no cry, say say say.
Hey little sister don't shed no tears
No woman no cry say say say.

I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey,
And little Georgie would make the firelight,
As stolen cars passed through the night
And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew.
My drink's my only remedy
For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty,
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright,
Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright,
O everything's gonna be alright,
The gun man's in the house tonight,
But everything's gonna be alright.

Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah

No woman no cry, no woman no cry.
Hey, little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry say say say.

I remember when we used to sit in a government yard in Trenchtown.
The hypocrites as they mingled with the good people we meet.
Good friends we had Oh good friends we've lost
Along the way hey.
In this great future,
You can't forget your past so dry your tears I say
And no woman no cry. No woman no cry say say say.
Hey, little sistser, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry and to my peeps who passed away

Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah


~ Wyclef Jean & The Fugees: No Woman No Cry Remix
 
 
BAND CAMP... WOO.

Awrighty, band camp isnt absolutely mind-boggingly man-I-cant-believe-its-not horrible, but, I'd rather be doing other stuff besides marching around all day... oh well. There were some (SOME, as in only 3 out of like 20) cool new people and everyone else was there so twasnt prision. But oh well.

And I just wrote this for the heck of it:

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

- Happiness is jumping over a plane in Battlefield 1942.

- Happiness is heading to Bojangles for lunch with all your buddies.

- Happiness is... not in band camp.

- Happiness is your favorite song.

- Happiness is watching the rain spatter on the window while you sip your favorite drink.

- Happiness is sinking the winning shot at a championship b-ball tourney.

- Happiness is everywhere... you just gotta know where to look.

I'm so philosophical.

I'm that nice black dude who is friends with everyone, who dresses in Roca Wear and Nike, yet lives in the richest-assed neighborhood ever, that listens to things varying from Coltrane to Modest Mouse to DJ Taka, and who is both emo and cheerful at the same time. In short, I'm just plain crazy.
