#9 - "Bolshevik!"
"Did you just call me a member of the revolutionary group that brought about the empowerment of Josef 'The Butcher' Stalin?"
"Oh I'm sorry, I thought it was russian for 'bullshit'"
Alright, well that joke has nothing to do with this post, but I made it up a while ago and felt like throwing it out there. It's the kinda joke that doesn't make sense but you laugh out of shame, what can I say? It's what I do.
Today we return to a little bit more "regular" programming, with the outcome of last post influencing the path I take. Lying in bed one night a Kansas song started playing on my dad's computer and I found comfort in the chorus, it was a light, an awakening, the fog that had beset my mind for most of the day receded and I could see what had to be done once again.
If I were an eccentric Billionaire I would pay to have singers all over the world come out at the exact right time and place when any guy was feeling in any way as I did, and they would sing him the chorus:
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Now I said "guy" and "him" on purpose because well, I think it'd be downright offensive if a woman was told "Carry on my wayward son" and not because I'm "sexist". I'm still looking for something equally as inspirational for women, or maybe something nice and unisex, so I'm open to suggestions.

Y'know -- I still haven't heard that song. But I heard you hum it many a time back at Marymount. It must be something special, to get you going like that. I think we all have a song that just.. does it.
I'll get back to you when I figure out what mine is.
