OPP Week 4

Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's my awesome friend
by the name of Jen
And she's soon gonna get to see me

Jen is radness,
laced with madness...
She's way to cool for school,
just the way she planned it.

Ok, so I kinda stole that one. But alas. It's Jen, and she's pretty much too cool for words. So I'll leave it at that. So everybody put your best suit or dress on, let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once. I love to wear a tuxedo. It's the whole "classier than I actually am" feeling. I'm pretty sure girls like that feeling too. Perhaps that makes me kinda girly. Oh well, I'm over it. "Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn as 30 dialogues bleed into one." Well, I don't really relate to the whole firecracker bit (being from Arizona where they're illegal and all), but I do remember my Uncle Larry (a fire inspector in Tempe) comeing over to demo all the confiscated ones in our back yard one year... that was pretty cool. The "30 dialogues" bit is pretty cool as a sound designer. I listened for that sound this year, the several conversations evolving into a countdown and a "Happy New Year!" It's a pretty cool thing to listen to.

So, something new, right? Ok.

I used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being cared for,
made sure I showed it to those that I love.

I used to sleep without a single stir,
'Cause I was about my father's work.

Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
Hung my own stone around my neck,
be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I used to pray and God was listening.
I used to make my parents proud.
I was the glue that kept my friends together,
Now they don't talk and we don't go out.

I used to know the name of every person I kissed.
Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.
