This is a great poem. Great performance and delivery too.

Taylor Mali is a genius when it comes to picking up on social roles. (: Great and brilliant stuff.

My blogging style might change now. This might end up being my venue for mental bullshit. Anyway, I feel quite happy with myself for writing my first poem. But I need to improve it a lot more before my exam.

Time for Cyrano's costume design!

I feel so happy even when I am in a total shithole of unbelievable problems. Wow...my life is damn amazing. I love life and I love the people around me who make it that much more interesting. I just need to be more expressive and social now.

The chronic introvert. -.-

Omar Musa rocks.

I feel inspired by The Spoken Word Movement's Poetry Slam in my school. It is crude, curt, rude and smart. It is quite the new spin on poems in my mind. With singsong and movement. Yay!!!

Got stopped. NIGHTS!

Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

Is stuck in my head. Lol.

Been mad busy over the past few days. Seriously my weeks are unbelievable nowadays. But we officially started Comperes training and all. Well, I need to pull up my socks in school to increase the standard I set on myself. Watched Mahler 2: Ressurection and I fell asleep. Sorry, I cannot seem to appreciate classical music unless I am in the super attentive mood. XD

And to close my week, I hosted at the Asia Pacific Tchoukball Championship 2010 Closing Ceremony Dinner with Madeleine. It was a great experience and it made my week awesome. Lol...

Look out for this thing called Challenge Day, it is powerful. Really powerful thing.

Alright, this is awesome but I need to keep myself down to earth. My head should not inflate. A bad part growing in me is that, I am starting to harbour hostile feelings towards certain people in CASS. I want to just let it go. So, let it be a promise to myself here and just be friendly to everyone in CASS, just as I was in year 1. Regardless the reaction or lack thereof. (:

Yay! Nights!

This song makes me reconsider the desire to pursue performance as a career in the future. It is sensible its own sense.

"[Introduction]
Yeah...
It's my life...
My own words I guess...

[Verse 1]
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...

[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...

[Verse 2]
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
"But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"
She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight
Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing...

[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...

[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"
But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say..

[Chorus/Outro]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back..."

Anyway, haven't been able to post much because I've been busy. Finished CASS DAY, ED Essay, ESAD Essay and IHP test! OMG this week was awesome as an achievement. (: I got a nice catch at cass day. Presence CD by Christian City Church. Great stuff.

Well, I'm exhausted. Nights. World Cup this year is just plain SAD.
