Pointe

I am completely obsessed with this song. Thanks, Cristina...

I Will Light You On Fire

And I can't just sit here thinking,
"My fleet is sinking,
Make room at the bottom of the sea,"

Or, "Don't upset the wealthy,
It's unhealthy,"
Everyone has a price, Sometimes I have two

And if I lack point or purpose
On the surface
It's only 'cause I was trying to fit in

And some years are uneventful
Inconsequential
And some years I don't show up at all

And I will build a wall to watch it tilting
Knock it over, start rebuilding
Just to keep from wasting time

Salute the march of the newly peaceful
From the mine shaft to the steeple
To the courthouse and back again

Why don't you don't I join the protest
I'm still asleep, you're not impressed
And we'd be better off uninvolved

Oh come on, come on tell me something
Sell me something or I'm jumping
And I cannot live that way for long

And you know this requires discussion
Or preferably, a concussion
Why can't we talk about something good?

So, I'm feeling better about Jenny

I still miss her, and what doesn't help is that I'm staying at Mom's on Friday to watch Zoe (who is now alone). She won't be there and that sucks. I think Cristina will be staying with me (because I'm scared of my mom's house at night when I'm alone [for some reason]).

I washed all my clothes and now feel extraordinarily clean and good about everything. I also bought a new Rugby shirt and I'm going to start up a Rugby Union with a few friends. I'll need a total of 15 to at least play, but it'll be fine.

Everything's boring... There's not much to report.

That is all.
