Counting Shadows
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007I know this may matter in the next couple of days but no more when I look back at everything. Still. Who says there is no room for closure?
Paskorus is in six days and I really want my class to make it to the finals. I know they are very talented singers and gifted musicians, all of them. And despite that nagging feeling I have that not all really want to join, these people still made the effort to join the rest of the class to compete.
I'm really touched by this despite my misanthropic state of mind. But I can't deny that I have issues to find closure with and the resolution is through a brilliant performance that will land the class a spot in the finals. I know that the two classes with the best performances deserve the finals spots. And really, as long as those classes deserve the finals, it's no issue with me.
But the thing is, sometimes, it's not just talent and hard work that gets credited.
And this is where my frustration comes in.
Maybe I'm overreacting.
I need to breathe. Just because this will be the last choral singing competition I'll be competing in with a class and just because of unresolved issues, I shouldn't get so worked up about all of this. I shouldn't let status quo deprive me of a mindset for the win.
A system of injustice shouldn't bother me now, eh? After all, this is the world.
I know 4 C! will give its best in the Paskorus Eliminations. Win or lose, the section is not compromised.

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007"The Great Escape"
Boys Like Girls
Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
We'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
