Step up out of the ashes...see the light, and feel my wrath.
You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Why must you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
You're a troubled young man I can tell

But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
Aqualung
Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

Feeling like a dead duck

Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Great Joke.
So near Fredericksburg TX there is a small German speaking farming community.
A farmer is walking down the road and sees a man with his hand in a pond.
The farmer said: "'Trinken Sie die Wasser night! Die Kuhen hat da in gescheissen."
(Do not drink the water. The cows had shit in there.)
The man looks up and said, "I do not speak German and I am dieing of thirst."
The farmer asked the man why he was here and where he was from.
The man said "I am from New York and I am here to campaign for Obamacare..what did you say to me a moment ago?"
The farmer replied: " Drink with both hands."

Story of the Past 10 days
Hello all,
Sorry I have not had the time to write in my blog. But I have been battling midterms, which I did well on, I think, and having had a 4 day break at school.
Last week was my midterms, and I suppose that is when the crazy feelings poped-up. Essentially I felt like I was walking around in a stale haze of sorts. I could not put my finger on it. I felt as thought I was getting sick. Numbers and symbols were poping in and out of my head, when it hit me. I had not slept for about 43 hours and I may have gone a little insane. Really, I was doing a calculus problem and I think I was talking to me. But any who. That was that and the I had fall break. WHICH WAS A GOD SEND.
Four days of fun and relaxation. The Friday that ushered in the eve of the break was fantastic. I went on my first grad-school interview at UMBC. Had a great time. The professors were amazing the students even better. The problem is I am not that into applied Mathematics. I like the theoretical, the stuff my grandfather calls useless. BUT, they had an impeccable program, anyone wanting to go into science or applied math should check out this program.
That was Friday. Saturday was the Interim Assembly for Maryland Student Legislature. And organization that I joined this year to get out of the math department from time to time. Basically it is pretend government. And I dig that. We debated, had fun, made some friends, and some enemies, at the end of the day I was voted in as the Chair of the Tory (Conservative) Caucus.
Other than that life has gone on as normal. Working hard. Having fun, and seeing friends that I have not really seen for months. But with all of this I still have a weird feeling, a feeling that I do not belong. Perhaps I have just gotten bored. Perhaps I really want to go to grad-school or Germany. Further probing of my mind is required.
Untill next time,
John
