Said I'd do this. Thought I'd make at least one more post of this type, possibly many more. (haha)
"Life after Death and Taxes"
~Relient K
Hey taxi, send me straight to the heart of it
The nucleus of politics was somebody
Somebody started it
Cause they taxed me with a scalpel piece by piece
they cut me deep and let me dry until there was nothing left to bleed
And this is how I choose to live
As if I'm jumping off a cliff
knowing that you'll save me [2x]
and after all the stupid things I did
there's nothing left that you'd forgive
because you already forgave me
yeah you already forgave me
Keep driving
leave this deceit miles behind me
so far back I'd have to wrap my mind in
just remind me
I can't try this to pick myself up
and then move on
think about the life I'll have
when this fragile one is gone.
Never forget
there's life after death and taxes
Forgiveness come
and all of the rest
is what passes away
Death and decay can't touch us now
Every breath that I inhale is followed by exhaling traps the one who never failed
I know you'll never failed me
Never forget
there's life after death and taxes
Forgiveness come
and all of the rest
it just passes away
Death and decay can't touch us now

Napster removed it and a couple other albums, for reasons unknown. :(
And then I went and changed the blog look. Is this more or less cheerful? Can't have a somber blog now!

Mr. Smith
I might be doing this a lot in the near future.
Michael W. Smith "Rocketown"
A friday night affair out in the city heat
Always a party there along the sordid street
And it was guaranteed the place to be was rocketown
...
There came a certain man a stranger to the crowd
We didn't understand what he was all about
He walked a different pace so out of place in rocketown
What was his mission? Where was he going?
Why was his heart light always glowing?
All i was missing he stood there holding
What was his secret could i know it?
Rocketown
(napster is so much better than youtube. And make sure you let it popup the player)
Edit:
youtube version. The best I could find wasn't great though.

Life -- again
Long overdue. Requested at least once, probably twice (or ... *gasp* more?!). Something like life for a while back.
BTW, did I mention the 21st was my 16th? Good.
Since I can't start at the beginning, I shall begin somewhere near the now, from April 22-26. In the last "post", I put a link to hundreds of pictures. Those hundreds of pictures actually came from another NCFCA tournament in Houston, the Regional invitational. I didn't actually compete, but that's beside the point. That Wednesday, we (the usual East Texas group of debaters, all 3 of us) had the privilege of watching court procedures for an adoption. Quick and easy, not much talking, all the paperwork had been done before. This particular adoption was a 3 year old being adopted by Mrs. Jones brother and his wife, the very same that we've been staying with for every Houston tournament, and some other obscure details that I won't bother telling you the full story about. Anywho, it went well and Taylor is officially a B_____. Almost their entire family was there, and that's saying a lot. A lot of "howdy"s and "oh isn't Taylor cute in that jacket?!".
The adoption was "the other" reason for being there. The reason I was there was to watch and add moral support for Joshua, being the one that qualified for Regionals, but I have to admit there was a lot more than just him and his debating. There was Nathan, Rachel, Erika, and Kevin and their debating. :) And of course lots of speeches, as there always are. I timed 9 out of 12 speech and debate rounds. Starbucks giftcard, yaY! I shan't go into details right now about every speech and what they're all about, that's available upon request. Wednesday, we had an unofficial club meeting at Nathan's house. Thursday was a typical tournament day full of -- what else -- speaking and debating. Friday was the same. Saturday was finals day. Joshua and Rachel made it to octafinals, but no further, getting 11th and 13th (may be wrong). Rachel won 1st in OO!!
That was two weeks ago. Last week, strangely enough, was fairly uneventful, aside from Aunt Susan and Grayson (cousin, Uncle Mike and Aunt Ria went somewhere and Aunt Susan offered to bring him here for a couple days) coming Friday and leaving this afternoon. Also, yesterday, for the first time in ages, I managed to get out to the fields, wave flags, yell at uncooperative people, and get sunburned. That's right, refereeing soccer. The only reasons I ever do it is because I get paid and I'm often dragged along. But it went fairly well, and I was paid as usual.
Now it is almost 9:15. I would love to give you a blow by blow (love the thoroughness, F.B. ;) but I don't have it. More stuff tomorrow, if possible.
