jack johnson - mud football

Saturday morning and it's time to go
One day these could be the days but who could have known
Loading in the back of a pickup truck
Riding with the boys and pushing the luck S
inging songs loud on the way to the game
Wishing all the things could still be the same
Chinese homeruns over the backstop
Kakua on the ball and soda pop well...

We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would remain
Nothing's gonna change there's no need to complain

Sunday morning and it's time to go
Been raining all night so everybody knows
Over to the field for tackle football
Big hits, big hats, yeah give me the ball
Rain is pouring, touchdown scoring
Keep on rolling, never boring
Karma, karma, karma chameleon
We're talking kinda funny from helium

We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would remain
Nothing's gonna change there's no need to complain

Monday morning and it's time to go
Wet trunks and schoolbooks and sand on my toes
Do anything you can to dodge the bus-stop blues
Like driving a padiddle with a burnt-out fuse
My best friend Kimi wants to go with you
So meet her by the sugar mill after school
My best friend Kimi wants to go with you
Meet her by the sugar mill after school

We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would remain
We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would
Everything good always would remain

i have no free time anymore! seriously! how many weeks has it been since i last had time to do this thing? i don't remember. anyway, i'm glad i've been spending so much time out and around. i can't stand being at home. it's constant nagging about my lifestyle. little comments all the time meant to put me down and make me feel stupid for making choices different from my parents. it's frustrating. i feel like packing up my stuff and moving in with someone else, but of course i wouldn't. other than the irritating comments, i've got a lot of advantages that other people don't. i appreciate what i have... but time just isn't passing fast enough.
enough of that though. crew has been amazing. i can't spend enough time rowing, even though it takes up nearly all my free time. friday was the lock-in - we were up until 4 or 5 am screwing around, watching movies and playing dodgeball and eating. i worked 9 hours on saturday, then woke up at 4:30 this morning to go to our regatta. megan was hilarious! we were fighting over her blanket and... i guess you had to be there. janna - "i don't like nuts in my muffin." the guys dancing on the boat while we sang. our boat's "secret" handshake. not letting carpoolers date people from crew. i mean, the stories with this stuff is endless. the guys' outfits while they were rowing? blue soccer socks and red bandanas... alright, enough.
i miss my other friends. their lives are going on as normal - i think jamie's leaving for california in a few weeks! and here i am still grounded (ick). tuey and brandon and luke and brenda are all still going off doing their things... and i'm completely disconnected from them all except the hour at school every other day i spend following steph to classes.
really, though, life is very fulfilling. the business makes me think i'm doing something important. and when i have a little free time, i like to sit on my butt, surf the internet, and read books.
oh and for osc, yeah that's fun too. i like it a lot. there are a lot of cool people, and the whole cooking thing is pretty special. ryan's still giving me tons of stuff for our requirements that i can print and mark off, so it's a lot less stressful.
