In The Process

As I'm writing, room 608 in Smith Hall is sitting almost completely empty. I have been working nonstop since around 3:00 P.M. packing up my car to drive it over to my new place and then unpack all of it. Then we packed the remainder of Jed's stuff up and put it in the car as well. It's out in the trunk and backseat now. Big thanx to the Fed for helping me out with the move; it’s much appreciated. It's now 8:22 P.M. and we have to get his stuff out of the car, grab the vacuum cleaner, and head back over to the dorm to do some serious cleaning. We're gonna try and do it all tonight. I have been up since like 7:20 A.M. and man am I ever so tired.

Today marks another successful endeavor to the local Hungry Howies (our weekly Wacky Wednesday luncheon) Chaz, Justin, Jed, and I had some good eating (sorry you couldn't make it Chase). On the way there, Chaz was looking through my CDs and asked about some of it. I made a point to play hardcore all the way there (I know McLeod, Justin appreciated that). I popped in the following CDs for some easy listening and random songage:

No Innocent Victim "Flesh And Blood"
Overcome "Immortal Until Their Work Is Done"
Strongarm "The Advent Of A Miracle"
UnderOATH "The Changing Of Times"

On the way back from Chipley, I decided to play something a little different. I put in Boyz II Men's 2nd album, most appropriately titled II. Everyone seemed to enjoy it more than the hardcore (surprised? I'm not). At one point, while we were rollin' into Graceville, Jed, Chaz, and myself were all singing On Bended Knee (very loudly). It was a good time. After dropping Chaz and Justin off at McLeod's crib, Jed and I went back over to school to start the rigorous packing of the car. We both agreed that Water Runs Dry is probably one of Boyz II Men's best songs. So, I figured I post the lyrics for youz guyz to read. It's back to cleaning for us...

Water Runs Dry
Lyrics by Boyz II Men

We don't even talk anymore
And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
Cause sayin how we feel is no longer allowed
Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how II change


Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby

Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies deep in our hearts
Well maybe that's a pain we can't hide
Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other
Why do we push love away

Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby
