This was the ordinary world of Colin Mochrie. Until Monday May 22nd. He arrived at school at 7:45 but he saw no one in the halls. He thought he was later than normal but when he got to class no one was around. Not even in the other classes. He walked to the gym because there was obviously an assembly but no one was there either. So he sat in the commons and waited for everyone until 2:15. He had never been absent a day in his life and it wasn't going to start now.

Take the Stairs

This is for the  fat kids, This is for the 40 year olds making minimum.
This is for the drunks on welfare, this is for the beggars and a blank application.

This is for the dad who has never seen his kids. Take the stairs.

 This is for the kids thinking mommy and daddy will take care of them.

This is for those sticky pennies under the couch, this is for the procrastinators.

This is for the people that hate their jobs, this is for the "maybe one day". Take the stairs.

When life gets in your way and you're offered the escalator or the stairs take the stairs. And why? That escalator WILL stop any second and so will you. Take the stairs...... The fat kids need exercise anyways

Gandhi

I keep forgetting to try to find inspiration.
I think that's why I find the angels and muses thing a bunch of bull.
Whenever I try there is a wall that shuts me off from the light.
And hopefully I can have a last time that I see the light.
When will we own ourselves completely?

Is it Duck or Duct? I've never been able to figure it out.

Song Stories

Title: Mocking Bird

Setting: It takes place in apartments, a recording studio, and during Christmas. It jumps around a lot but it just goes through the years in the life of Eminem

Plot: He talks about his life being hard and the trials that he has gone through. He is also talking to his kids as an apology letter and comforting them saying, "Everything's gonna be alright."


Characters: Eminem, Wife, Kids

Conflict: He's struggling to make a living and keep his family together throughout the hard times that he is going through.

Theme: It kind of sounds like an apology letter like I was saying before. I think the theme would be to keep pushing through the hard times because things will get better.

Title: Bed Intruder Song

Setting: In the ghettos of Lincoln Park

Plot: It comes from news footage of someone breaking in to the apartments in Lincoln Park and trying to rape a girl. The brother comes out and starts talking trash but it completely fails.

Characters: Brother, Sister, Rapist

Conflict: A rapist came after a girl and the brother isn't happy about it.

Theme: Hide your kids, hide your wife. And also you don't have to come and confess because we're looking for you and, "we gon find you".
