Lock down with the door open. Is the store still open? I hope you don’t think I’m chokin’ or getting excited yet, because there’s a whole ‘lotta work left. Yes, I write with my left. I just want to know the total cost of ownership of my own space ship. Whoops, I forgot to take a sh*t. Is this way before our landing, or our take off, and am I still standing? Am I expensive, yet? I’m looking at all your CDs and they portray the display from the perspective of my knees! Dirty trees, turn up the degrees. We must be right next to the sun. I used to have a hundred guns. Imma make it my goal today to make someone a new birthday. Home invasion when you turn it to the correct radio station. Little people steeple. Remote paper-mate. I think I just accidentally stole the whole state. [ Time tunnel to my front, past to my back, hey baby, count the whole stack ] I hate your fourteen-year-old mind state. Initialize the new variables and embrace ’em. State ’em.

I appreciate the compliment. Thank you for reading. Even though I wrote this a while back, I thought it was somewhat appropriate with everything going on now, sadly. 😎

Well, that’s quite flattering of you to say! Thanks for swinging by and commenting. You got some really interesting writings on your blog over there! That’s why I gave a follow. Congrats for that. 😀

Ms. Mugrage, it’s always great to see you here. The methodology here is to find a starter that I like, in my head and then build off of it, then writing it down a couple lines at a time. Now, you have me wondering why the lyrics remind you of 90’s songs, which I think is great. 😀

It reminds me of The Runaround by Blues Traveler, and It’s Been One Week Since You Looked At Me (not sure if that is the title or just the refrain) by I forget what group but it was played constantly my last year of university.
