Pencil Full of Lead

Have a fabulous Sunday, everyone!
 
 


My favorite version of one of my favorite songs!

Here are the lyrics:

I've got a sheet for my bed
and a pillow for my head
I've got a pencil full of lead

and some water for my throat
I've got buttons for my coat
and sails on my boat

So much more than I needed before
I got money in the meter and a two bar heater
Now it's getting hotter
Oh it's only getting sweeter

I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair
Pot and a pan
And some shoes on my feet
I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth

A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock
I got food in my belly and a license for my telly
And nothing's gonna bring me down

I got a nice guitar and tyres on my car
I got most of the means and scripts for the scenes
I'm out and about, so I'm in with a shout

I got a fair bit of chat but better than that
Food in my belly and a license for my telly
and nothing's going to bring me down

But best of all (best of all)
I've got my baby
But best of all (best of all)
I've got my baby
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down

Best of all (best of all)
I've got my baby
Best of all (best of all)
I've got my baby

She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down

Not today... no, no

Thursday Giggle Vol. 4

During my sophomore and junior years of high school, my Spanish teacher, Ms. Carstens, would show us a funny video every Thursday- provided that we were good all week. The reasoning behind this was quite simple: Thursdays suck and everyone likes to laugh (except for, like, sociopaths)- therefore why not improve Thursdays with some laughter? I really liked the idea of this, so I decided to incorporate it into my blog. So without further ado, I present you with this week's giggle.

Maybe I'll Run for President

Every once in a while, after hearing me talk/debate politics, some people tell me I should run for President. I always dismiss them, saying that I am far too blunt to be a politician.

My future office?


But then I remembered something that happened a few years back.

I was in softball in ninth grade, and I wanted to play second base. However, I only rarely got the chance to actually do anything when I played it because none of our pitchers could pitch that well (the team was only a few years old, and no one had really learned how to pitch underhand yet).

One day in band, I was talking to the teacher, Mr. G., about how our team had never won a single game and he asked me why I didn't learn to pitch. I told him, "Well, because I want to be a second baseman." He said, "What's the point of playing second base if the ball never gets hit? Someone has to learn to be a pitcher, and it may as well be you."

So now I get it.

We have a pretty freaking awesome President right now, but what about in 20 years when I am eligible to run? What kind of situation will we have then? I have a good twenty years (technically I can run in 17) or so to get the qualifications.

Plus, I can always learn the art of finesse.
